Angel's Weren't Meant To Be Slaves. Welcome To Hell, Master. *Completed*

[43] Love Strong and Love Weak

*Keegan’s P.O.V.*

I felt bad for what I had to do to Victoria. Truly I do.

Knowing her the way I do, I had no other choice but to put her in the dungeon for now. She was very violent by nature… I understand that I hurt her but I had no choice. Dr. Pearce would have figured it out eventually and I don’t want to go to the stocks for a lie.

A lie to save a Fallens trust?

Pfft… that was unheard of.

Then again, I never expected to develop feelings for her either.

But I did.

It’s been four days that she has been down there. She must have calmed down by now. Maybe she saw reason. Maybe she will understand my point of view. I know she has feelings for me. Those moments we shared were not fake. It might not have been love, but it was something.

I would have gone to see her yesterday but I’ve been busy with new things… Dr. Pearce informed the Idris army captain of what he learned and he has organized his troops to train harder and more weapons are being made.

All of yesterday I had been summoned to the city to discuss possible war tactics for the prophecy date to defeat the Fallen quickly or at least hold them back for as long as possible.

While in the city I was able to visit the Seraph Institute where I met up with Rachel, Sheridon and Jayden. I invited them back to me palace and they agreed to come up within the next couple of days and stay for as long as they could before they were needed back here.

To be honest I just missed their company. I also felt worried for them. They were only young Hunters. But they were about to face something that was huge. Something so much bigger than even I had to deal with at their age…

I cleared my head of those negative thoughts and moved on to the task at hand. Making my way down to the dungeons, I take a deep, shaky breath. I want to apologize properly for the entire ordeal. I can’t lie and say I wanted to tell Dr. Pearce everything, but I definitely had to. I just wish that it didn’t have to be done in front of Victoria.

What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her. But now she knows and she is hurt.

I’m sure that bloody witch doctor did it on purpose too. She has always hated Victoria and I know for a fact that she wasn’t my biggest fan either. She’s not a stupid woman, she clearly saw the connection that Victoria and I had and it very much displeased her.

The guards opened the door for me without a word and I nodded my thanks.

Darkness consumed me as I walked down the hall that was lit by scattered torches. Goosebumps and shivers raced across my skin, as it was fairly damp and cold here underground.

Stopping in front of her door, the guard who had silently followed me down, stepped forward now and unlocked the door before stepping back again.
