His to Save

Chapter Fifty-Three - challenge

I gripped the sword tightly as Richard smirked swinging his sword through the air, the slight ring making me shiver.

I pushed the rising memories away as I felt my past forging with the present, no. This time I was going to win.

"I am giving you your last chance to back out, I will forget all this if you concede right now, no one has to fight. It would be a shame to kill such an interesting specimen, especially one as gorgeous as you." he warned as I shook my head, Damien growling ever so slightly from across the courtyard at his words.

"Over my dead fucking body" I growled as he shook his head, "It will be" he said as I gripped the sword tighter, however before I could swing the sword black power flushed through the area, knocking almost everyone to the ground,

I turned, slowly lowering the sword as I saw Brand storming across the area, rage glittering on his face,

He held his hands up as he walked in between us and flowed his power out, the swords flying into his hands as he threw them to the ground,

"What the fuck is going on?" he growled as I clenched my fists, my eyes flashing,

"I could ask you the same question. What the fuck do you think you are doing using your powers on me and training little girls?" I growled as he turned to look at me, pure rage on his face,

He turned away as he turned to face Richard and pointed his hand away, "Remove yourself from here, take yourself back to Ezerene and take your men with you. We will be having words later" he said as Richard growled and stormed away, his men disappearing as I folded my arms,

"This is not over Richard, the only way out of this is death" I called out as he narrowed his eyes as me and I smirked waving my hand.

I was going to kill him, I don't know when but I was going to slit his fucking throat.

I turned my attention back to Brand as I noticed Damien quietly remove himself from the area, "Answer me Brand, what the fuck do you think you are doing?" I said as he turned to me and stormed forwards,

He grabbed my wrist as he dragged me into the castle, flicking his wrists as the doors slammed behind him.

"How dare you try to steal MY ARMY" he yelled as I flinched ever so slightly at his voice,

"HOW DARE YOU TAKE LITTLE GIRLS TO FIGHT FOR YOUR ARMY" I screamed back as his eyes turned back,

"You take my girls, my people. And you do the one unforgivable thing to them" I said my voice shaking slightly as he watched me,

"How dare you, in my land? How dare you turn them into me? After everything you heard, after everything I told you, its FUCKING DISGUSTING" I said as my magic escaped, throwing the table and chair's over as he grabbed a drink throwing it down in one,

"This is my land now Lillian, the ritual will be completed tomorrow. I found the final pieces for it and then you will be of practically no use to me. I have a good mind to confine you to you room until we travel to the location" he said as I stepped away, fear coursing through my body as the magic disappeared,

"You what-?" I stuttered as he sat down at the table, his leg bouncing as he refused to look at me.

"You will bring back the dragons tomorrow and then we will mate if you manage to survive. Then you will become a pawn in my games, nothing more and nothing less. This is my kingdom, and I will not let you get away with anything else" he said as my breathing quickened and I began to panic,

"I let you have your fun with your mother, but almost killing her? I can't allow that to happen Lillian, I was the one who took her away and now I can tell how dangerous this little plot of land has become. I had no choice but to get rid of you for a few weeks, you would have just made things far more complicated for me" he said as I felt sick,
