Death Thread

Chapter 40

“Moonlight, answer me, can you hear me?” Her eyes were beautiful, yet scary. 

“His name, I thought it was Nea.” She said as she grabbed my hand, as she touched me, golden strings were spreading in my hand, the pain was unbearable, was she feeling this pain until now? And she didn’t even budge at all.

“Moonlight, his name is Na-ara, he was the one that had been betrayed by the emperor after they had written a contract together, they beheaded him and put something on his body which lets him control him, but maybe, ugh, you could stop this nonsense. Moonlight.” This power was flowing inside me at an incredible speed.

“I know where he is right now.” Morva came from the window and looked at the situation.

“My queen, they will lead us in there, we are going at a camp which he is waiting for us, the emperor is willing to kill us slowly, as he kills us, he will say it was an accident. 

“Morva, can you do me a favor?” Moonlight said as she let go of my hand, it feels like her powers went through me, I felt lighter, yet stronger.

“Yes, my queen.” Moonlight turned towards me and smiled. I looked at her before she cut her hand and put her blood on a bowl.

“Drink half of this, and send the half to another Cliodhna. It’s right in the corner, you will know from its energy.” I took moonlight’s hand and licked off her blood from her hand, her breath hitched, yet I had the urge to devour her right here, right now.

“Alaric.”

“Yes, moonlight.”

“It’s happening.” She said as something blew, it caught fire immediately, smoke was coming from everywhere.

Moonlight was nowhere to be seen, screams could be heard in the corridor, not screams of a girl, screams of men, as they were being ripped in half, they were screaming in agony.

As I went out, and the smoke started to clear a bit, a figure was showing up, it was covered in blood, as it held a long sword in the right hand, it was a female. It was moonlight.

She took them all out in bare seconds, just how powerful is she? Is she improving every second?

“Breathe.” Was what I heard from behind. She had come right behind me, and yet I held the breath this whole time.

How? How could she improve so much at this short time? The last time I interacted with her I could fight simply, yet she has improved so much. While I was fooling around. 

“Let’s go.” She said as she grabbed my hand and dragged me outside, there were a lot of emperor’s soldiers. They had surrounded the building, Alfie and the others had been fighting them, but moonlight was getting rid of them. They had been backed up again and again.

“Moonlight, throw me the knife.” She threw it at the enemy's direction killing him and I took it from his neck, I aimed only for the throats, while moonlight had killed the half, I can’t keep up with her speed at this rate, I need to improve. I grabbed the knife differently and went on full speed. Me and moonlight were back-to-back.

“I’m going into the general’s office.” She said as she disappeared into thin air. A nerve popped in me, and I went crazy, I killed them all, and reunited with Alfie and the others, they luckily didn’t have any wounds, at least for now, I guess.

As I was about to enter inside an explosion had happened from the inside, which it blew the whole academy, but moonlight was still inside. But a body came right from the window, it was the general, he was covered in small cuts, which caused a lot of blood loss. Moonlight was at the window frame watching him fall on the ground, she came down in a second.
