Blood Prize {Bloody Dance Series #1} BoyxBoy

TWENTY-SEVEN

Everything inside of me wanted to struggle against the chains. I already knew that was pointless. If there was a way to break the chains I would have done that hours ago when Ban first started touching me.

I couldn't just give up though. He was going to kill Soji. I couldn't allow that. Soji . . . He loved me even though I'm a demon and he's not. Soji was always talking about my soul as if I still had one. He believed that I had one. He believed in me. I couldn't let Soji down. I couldn't let Mother Fate down. Or even Soji's real mom. I promised to protect him. I had to do that.

Opening the third eye, it was a long shot. I didn't know if it would work. Images shifted quickly pass me. None of them mattered or even made sense at the speed they moved. Then I saw him. Soji was sitting on a bed. His ankle was chained to this bed.

He had his fingers folded together. His head was bowed he was praying. At a time like this he was trying to pray. I wanted to tell him that the Gods weren't going to save him. I didn't know what could save Soji at this moment. Me, I needed to be the one that got to him.

I didn't want Soji to die. I wanted to hold him one more time. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to connect with him. Just as Ban knew the planes of my body, I wanted to learn Soji's. The few times we came together wasn't enough. There had to be more. I wanted so much more with him.

The door to Soji's room opened. I frowned when a fully dressed Ban walked into the room. He didn't have his lap dog Kenji with him this time. He probably sent him to get things ready for what was to come. Soji looked up at Ban, even I could see the defiance in his eyes.

"So you're Soji." Ban walked over to him. He grabbed his chin turning Soji's head from left to right. "I see why Natsu is so taken in by you. You're enchanting." Soji yanked his head away and Ban's nail opened a cut on his neck.

I watched the red liquid roll down Soji's pale skin. Ban reached out his finger tracing the trail as he cleaned the blood away. Ban licked the blood from his finger before spitting it out. He looked down at Soji again. I watched as the white mage touched his neck healing himself.

"You're not like most humans. You're nothing like normal white mages." I frowned, what did Ban mean he wasn't like normal white mages.

"I don't know why you would think that," Soji replied. Maybe the fact that he wasn't quaking with fear in front of Ban was a testament to how normal Soji really was. Even demons feared the great demon and yet Soji looked him in the eyes and defied him.

"Most white mages can't sleep with a demon and remind pure." Ban reached down grabbing Soji behind the legs. I didn't know if this was something I wanted to watch or end. Two people who I found beautiful touching each other.

It was the kind of porn people paid good money for. The kind that was passed around and download a million times. A white mage and Lord Ban. It would sell out as soon as it hit the shelves. Of course, this was for my eyes only. Two people who claimed they loved me. Wrapped in the sheets together. Was that really something worth seeing.

"Maybe Zero just isn't a normal demon." Soji countered and Ban laughed.

"My Natsu is anything but normal." I rolled my eyes at that statement. Maybe Natsu wasn't but my name was Zero. "In a few short hours you will be dead. Then Natsu will be mine and mine alone. Oh yeah, and hell will be brought to earth. Minor detail I think."

"Zero will stop you. It's his destiny to stop this." Ban looked down at Soji his head tilted to the side for a moment. I couldn't read the expression on his face. Walked closer to Soji as the door opened again and two A-Class Demons walked in.

"Natsu destiny. You have no idea what his destiny is. You're just a child obeying orders. Natsu . . . The power inside of him . . ." Ban shook his head leaning in and whispering something so low to Soji that I couldn't hear it. When he pulled away Ban was smiling and Soji looked horrified. What was it? What did he say to him?
