Forever Fae

Chapter 15 - Alasdair ( Dark Sorcerer)

"What news do you have for me?" I asked, peering into the scrying bowl.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Master, but I have some news," the fae said.

"What is it?"

The fae smiled and continued, "I have done as you wish. The seed of doubt has been planted and I don't think we have to worry anymore about the prince and our precious princess."

The news brought a smile to my face. Jealousy and doubt could do wonders to the heart. The lovely Calista will need someone to fill that void in her heart and I could make her see that I was the one who could do that. Once I took most of her power, she wouldn't be able to fight the compulsion. I could make her believe that I was the one she'd been searching for and she wouldn't know any better. She will be mine. I will have her every day and every night to suit my needs and she will love it.

Once I have her, the prophecy won't be able to be fulfilled; the taste of victory is in the air.

"I do have other news, Master, and it's not exactly bad news, but it isn't good news either," the fae claimed sheepishly.

Giving him a menacing look, I gestured impatiently for him to continue.

"I was speaking with your other informant in private about certain matters, but we were overheard by a couple of the Summer Court council members. They put up a fight; we had no choice but to kill them. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I don't think their absence will be fully missed until after we're gone. With Ryder in displeasure with the princess, I'm sure he'll want to leave quickly once the meeting is over."

Roaring with menace, I yelled, "You ignorant fool! How could you kill someone in the palace and think they won't be missed? We need a change of plans, now! The princess needs to be taken today so you better find a way to figure that out. Our plan can't wait until tomorrow because if King Oberon finds out about the death of his council members there's no way he'll let his family out of his sight."

Frustrated, I walked away and took a deep breath. What a fucking idiot! If I didn't need him to carry out my plan I would've all ready killed him.

Returning to the scrying bowl, I growled angrily, "I can have arrangements made for someone to assist you once you pass the edge of the Summer Court territory. If you fail in this I will rip out your entrails, shove them down your fucking throat, and then I'll tie you up with iron chains and happily watch while the iron dissolves your pathetic body inch by inch. Are we understood?"

Terrified, the fae nodded in agreement. "It will be done. I should be able to get away with the princess. I heard that she secretly trains with her guardian every morning about a mile past the palace. Maybe I can get her alone then use the gift you gave me to get close to her undetected."

Fuming, I gritted my teeth. "Make sure you figure it out, because if you don't you'll pay the consequence."

Dismissing the fae with a wave of my hand, I closed the scrying bowl. Soon they'd all be bowing down to me. If everything went according to plan, the princess would arrive in the Black Forest by nightfall. She was going to make a nice addition to my army when I take her body and make her mine.
