My throat had closed shut and it seemed as if the walls were closing in on me. I could barely feel a single bone in my body as I stood in that same spot, looking at him. This is highly impossible. I couldn't---it couldn't be...Chase! It was him. He was the Master?!?! The minute he spoke and said my name, it caused terrifying memories to run through my mind. Him touching me in hurtful ways. Him calling me foul names. Him hurting me emotionally and physically. Yet, he would cure it usually with light kisses and gentle hugs. But nothing compares to the way Liam loves me. Liam. He actually loved me, didn't he? After all, I was just a "game" to him, Louis, and Harry. Was I joke to the Paynes' as well? That doesn't matter now. Now, I have to focus on this moment.

"Zayn?" Lume asked suddenly as she stood by my side. I looked at her with my lips parted open. "You know our Master? How?"

I felt the tightness in my throat strain tighter and tighter. Lume's question ran through my head as he slowly approached a little closer to me. I edged myself back away from him slowly. Chase's little smile made my throat close even more. Now, it felt like my whole entire windpipe was about to burst.

"Zayn and I were...well, what you call 'very-close-mates'" Chase said to Lume with a small smile on his lips. I tightened my jaw as Chase slowly walked around me in slow circles. He looked at Lume for a quick second. "Where is Liam's proclaimed mate?"

Lume's expression changed very quickly. She had her hands folded together and in front of her. Her head was facing downward a little and she was biting lightly on her bottom lip. Chase walked over to her and lifted her chin with his hand. I felt a shiver go down my spine as I looked at them.

"My dear, where is she?" Chase asked. Lume's eyes narrowed to me a little and I bit down on my lip as Chase turned to face me. He chuckled. "It appears that I was mistaken" he added. He started to approach me and he looked deep into my eyes, which sent flames into my core. "Liam's mate is this young fellow. Zayn Malik."

I heard little chuckles coming from other members of the Renascence. My cheeks burned and Chase looked at them. They silenced. Lume walked over to me and stood by my side. I closed my eyes a little as Chase started to speak.

"Mister Liam Payne arranged for a sacrifice later this evening, but I assure you that it may or may not happen. It depends. But in my guess, for since he has broken one of the regulations, he will pay his punishment. An execution will be arranged" Chase declared.

Both, Lume and I looked at Chase with our eyes almost wide in fear and worry--- mostly me.

NO! NO! I yelled at myself.

"Master" Lume started, "you can't do this. Not to him."

"Apparently Miss Knightly, I can" Chase claimed. "I am the one who was set to be in command of the demons. And we all have rules to follow. Liam broke one of those rules."

"What rules was it?" I asked nearly straining myself to speak. Chase's eyes grew hard a little as he looked at me. The painful stare that he gives me makes me want to vomit all over.

"You are a human Zayn. Therefore, he will be punished for expressing his true self to a mortal."

I nearly wanted to yell at him as I clenched my jaw. The fact that Liam is now going to die because of me makes me want to curse or maybe kill myself. There has to be some sort of way to prevent this. I love Liam. I admit it. I love him. I cannot loose him. I ask if there is anyway to reason with this decision. A proposal is what I make. I could see Lume's eyes widen and her lips parted open.
