My Beginning After the End

Ashber Pt. II

"Come on! Pick up the pace." Benjy said to us as we walked down a long ass tunnel, I knew Arthur would be fine with everyone up there, he could kill them all, and I could kill them from here. I sensed someone following us, it was that man that wanted Aya.

It only took us about five minutes to get to where their bedrooms were, or cells as they wanted to call them for us. Benjy opened the door for us, and motioned for us to go in. "Thank you." Aya spoke as we walked in.

"You two might be here awhile, so make yourselves at home." Benjy said, then turned toward the approaching figure. "Stan, what are you doing?"

"Benjy, I want to play with that elf, don't you as well?" The man's name was Stan.

Aya and I were now standing in the cell, watching as Benjy spoke to Stan as he got closer. "You know we shouldn't." I felt anger building up in me, I knew Aya could handle herself, but I couldn't let this go.

"Who would know?" Stan stood beside Benjy as he looked at the two of us in the room. "But the brat needs to be somewhere else, I don't need him staring at us."

"As long as we don't leave any evidence, I'm fine with it." Benjy said, and I tilted my head at them. "What? Brat, do you want to watch?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I said, breaking the cuffs around my wrist and ankles, staring at the two men in anger. "Aya, na, I can't do this anymore." I started to rub my wrist where the cuffs were.

"What the hell? He just snapped the cuffs?" Benjy and the man named Stan started to back up away from me. "Go get help!"

Stan was staring at me in horror, not listening to Benjy as my aura exploded out of me, then, like he was nothing, poof, Benjy was no more, blood covered the hall, and Stan. "Veer, really?" Aya said.

"What? I wasn't going to let them touch you." I said, shrugging at her, then conjured an ice dagger in my hand. I still didn't sense anyone strong here, so I wanted to have some fun.

"Please, don't hurt me, I'll give you anything!" Stan pleaded for his life, then fell to the ground, with his back to the wall. I started to walk closer to him, Aya wasn't stopping me, so I took that as an okay, do what you want. "Please!"

"Sorry, but I need some blood." I manipulated the blood that was all around the room from Benjy, and it flowed around my arms. "And I'll be taking yours."

"No, please, please, stop this!" Stan started to conjure a ball of fire in his hand, but it disappeared as I disrupted his core. "What? No? It's you, isn't it? The Devil? I thought it was a myth, but you truly are the embodiment of death."

"I can live with that." I said, shrugging, shooting myself at him, sliding the ice dagger into the side of his throat, and as the blood came out of him, I brought it to my arms, and had it join Benjy's blood.

"You good, Veer?" Aya asked, and I turned around and faced her.

"Yeah, don't worry." I lit the body parts that were left of Benjy and Stan on fire, with my blue fire, burning their flesh and bones to dust. "We can keep our cover don't worry."

"And how is that?" Aya asked, I waited a second, letting the fire do its work, then smiled.

"Like this." I lifted my hand, holding it out straight, facing the hall, then conjured two clones, one of Benjy, one of Stan. "Go back to Arthur, and play your parts, don't do anything stupid though."

"Yes, sir." The Benjy clone said with a smile, then the two clones ran off.

"Jeez." Aya said, wide eyed. "That's pretty ruthless."
