Appetite for Destruction

Chapter 4

The blonde stalks back to his lair in the sewers, where the other wizards were waiting. Ogron smirked as his magic orb was flickering images of the Winx wondering what they'll do now. Their worry and anxiousness filled the red wizard with glee.
"Sir, I'm back," Gantlos says. Ogron turns his icy gaze from the purple orb to him. "It seems your mission was very successful," he grins. "Those Winx didn't know what came for them!"
"Haha, yeah, I wish I could see the life being sucked out of them when you drained their magic," Duman snickers.
"Sentiment shared," Ogron agrees, "But before that ,do you have a way to transfer their magic to us?"

Gantlos shakes his head.
"Really? I would think since you can take magic you can also give it back.", Ogron adds, raising an eyebrow.
"I told you, I'm not a trained vampire!" Gantlos barks. Ogron scoffs and rolls his eyes. "Why are you like this?...I'd expect a vampire to at least know the basics. I will get that magic out of you, one way or another, I need it!" He starts walking in circles as Anagan looks over to Gantlos.
"It's not that hard to transfer your powers is it?" he asks.

"Hmm...well in theory no, but..."
"So why won't you listen?" Ogron chips, making Gantlos' nerves tighten.
"I..." Gantlos takes a deep breath. "I don't want to give someone like you that power, that's all."
Ogron looks at the blondie for a few seconds before grinning, "Could you say that again?"

Gantlos grits his teeth. "Ogron I know you're desperation leads you to doing wild shit and I'm not going to just stand there and let you have your way. You've already forced me to use my powers like this but you're forgetting I have my limits, I'm already not feeling well from all of this magic and I need- I don't think I can do anymore! And I'm not going to push myself for you because I know better and..."
As Gantlos keeps talking, Ogron and Anagan look at each other, Ogron nodding his head over to Gantlos' direction. Anagan shrugs a bit before dashing towards the blonde wizard and punching his stomach.
"GHA-!!" Gantlos yelps as he holds his stomach, falling onto his knees and looking at the floor in pain. "Why..."

Anagan shrugs, "If you talk anymore you'd go insane. Hey don't blame me for punching you when you have a loud mouth."
Gantlos looks up at them, still grunting from the pain. It got worse as he looked at their judgemental looks, Ogron scoffing and glaring the most.
"You have no idea when to shut up, do you..." Ogron snarls, pressing his heel against Gantlos' head, making his henchman taste the floor. "You forget one very important thing..." Ogron uses the Black Circle to summon a lilac chain collar around Gantlos' neck, as tight as a leash, dragging the pained blonde towards him.

"You're useless without me. Useless!", the red wizard growls, "And you will give this power to me like I asked, it's not your choice. Need I remind you where your place is. And you agreed to this."
He tugs on the chain tightly, Gantlos lightly gasping for air. "I can't...I don't know how," Gantlos utters.
"Then get used to obeying my every whim, and if you don't I'll make sure you regret it...who's your boss?"
"You.." Gantlos mumbles.
"Who are you suppose to obey?"
"You."
"And what happens if you don't do that?!"
"...I'll be sleeping outside."
"Good boy." Ogron lets go on the chain, Gantlos staggering back, clinging onto one of the sewer pipes. His heart was about to jump out of his chest, his claws shaking as sweat ran down his face and jaw. Ogron couldn't care less about his henchman being stressed. He goes back to spying on the Winx.

Duman stalks over to Gantlos, slightly smirking. "Didn't know the tough guy was so submissive. Oh wait, I do."
"Leave me alone, Duman..." Gantlos snarls.
"Should I? You've grown knife ears." Duman chuckles. Gantlos' eyes widen as he touches the tip of his ears. They felt more like elven ears than humans ones, and his claws seemed sharper as well. It sends a chill down his spine as the elven ears twitch.
"Looks cool," Duman shrugs.
"Not cool!" Gantlos huffs, "That means my vampire side is taking over!"
"Oh no, you'll be doing your mission well, I'm sooo sad," Duman says, rolling his eyes, "Look, it's not that big of a deal having pointy ears, stop being dramatic."

Gantlos sighs as Duman walks away. Of course they're not concerned, his vampiric powers are helping them. He still has a gut-wrenching feeling lingering in his stomach, both from Anagan's punch and whatever is in store next.
