My Snowy Snowy Wolf

Chapter 30

Sophia's POV

"You made a good choice my darling." His voice was low, and i merely stared at his face as he leaned away from me. The sound of doors creaking open could be heard, and i turned my head to the commotion and watched in horror as two servants forcefully brought a boy to his knees in front of us. He was bound and gagged, but he looked up through teary eyes, his eyes red with tears as they stared deep into mine, begging for my help.

"What.. is this?" I asked, turning to Shuu in confusion.

"Don't concern yourself too much about it." Shuu said, walking towards the boy.

The boy was young, he looked about the age of 12 or 13, and had olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes. He was wearing clothes that looked expensive, and as i looked closer i realized he was wearing the colors of royalty.

"Shuu!" I exclaimed, as i watched in horror as he generated a spear in his hands, twirling it around as he lightly pressed it against the boy's cheek, the boy flinched and it drew blood.

"Prince Nolan, you will be our sacrifice." Shuu whispered, and my head started to spin. Sacrifice? That boy was merely a child, and he was to die for this?

I rushed forward, grabbing onto Shuu's arm tightly. Shuu looked down at me, and raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Go and sit back there my dear, it will all be over soon."

"No, i don't want you to kill him." I said, amazed at how steady my voice was. In the inside i felt as though i was about to faint from the fear gnawing at me.

Shuu's face darkened slightly, but he quickly composed himself.

"This is for the best." He breathed, and his eyes shifted. "Trust in my wisdom, my dear. This boy is not as innocent as you may think to believe."

I looked down, to see the boy staring back up at me. This time he wasn't crying anymore, his face held resolve and defiance.

"Who is he then?"

"He's a demon, a powerful one. Prince Nolan of the Skavinian Clan, once an ancient clan that had been wiped out centuries ago." He said, and i watched as he dug his spear deeper into the boy's face.

"Centuries? He merely looks like he is 12, Shuu." I said, not totally comprehending Shuu's explanation.

Shuu's eyes fluttered to mine, and i got lost in them once again, "Believe me, he deserves death."

My throat constricted at his words. I truly didn't think anyone deserved death, it seemed like a cruel idea to me that the fate of someone's life could be so easily played and decided by another when it should end. But the look in Shuu's eyes told me that i couldn't fight him, and deep down i knew i didn't have the ability to anyway.

"Do you truly believe that?" I asked, and Shuu merely smiled.

He didn't reply, but he lifted his spear and thrust it into the boy's chest deeply, straight into his heart. The boy didn't struggle, the look on his face showed that he had accepted his fate a long time ago. I watched as he never broke his eye contact with me, and i was immersed in the feeling of watching his life force drift away. It was satisfying, and for some reason i thought it was absolutely beautiful. My eyes widened slightly as i realized my thoughts, am i really starting to lose my mind?

The boy's head hung low, and a trail of blood fell down the side of his chin. Even in death the boy carried so much grace, and i felt empty inside.

Shuu lifted the boy's limp face with his hand, rubbing the blood off his face. Shuu's fingers were caked with the boy's blood, and i watched quietly as Shuu smeared his blood all over the ancient scroll.

Almost immediately i could feel the intensity of the power increase, it was calling out to me more strongly now, and i felt myself slowly slipping away into it's power.

I could barely register Shuu ordering the boy's body to be taken away and burnt, before his fingers brushed against my lips, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth. I looked up at Shuu as he smeared the boy's blood all over my lips.

"Do you taste the power?" He said lowly, smirking. I was no vampire, but i somehow knew that this blood was not only exquisite, but it held power in it.

"I know you feel it," he whispered. I merely blinked as the taste of the power surged through me. "And i know how much you want it too."

He leant forward and pressed his lips to mine. The blood from my lips smeared against his, and his tongue gently brushed over the blood that stained my lips.

His touch was warm, and it made me feel safe. I know it wasn't true, i was in much more danger with him, but something compelled me to him, and i couldn't control my actions.

I tried to press closer to him, wanting to feel more of his warmth, but he pulled away, smirking down at me and i looked up at him dazed.

"The power tasted exquisite, and soon we will have it all for our own." He said, and it felt like a stab to my heart. How could i ever forget that the only thing he ever cared for was power?

"How do we unlock it?" I said, pushing my feelings aside.

"It's not that hard." He said, and i watched as he brushed his fingers gently over the scroll; muttering something in an ancient language my mind couldn't comprehend. The scroll started to glow, and Shuu gently intertwined our fingers, before urging me to place my free hand on the scroll.

I obeyed, carefully lifting my hand and placing it on the scroll. The power that jolted through my body could be felt almost immediately.

I doubled over from his touch, it was compelling and invaded my whole body and broke through my mind. The raw power flowed into me and I could do nothing to stop it.

Images flashed through my mind, and i watched in horror as the scroll showed me the danger unleashing this power could bring.

War

Death

Destruction

Greed

Tears started to flow from my eyes freely as i watched how cruelly so many have died just to be able to manifester the dark magic and power.

But at the same time, i was enthralled by it, and i felt myself becoming obsessed with the taste of it, by the intensity of the power lust.

And i wanted to feel it more deeply then ever, i knew now that i couldn't live on without feeling it run deep through my veins.

"You are the chosen one" It whispered through my mind, as i felt something pierce through my walls and over took my mind.

That was all i could register before darkness over took me.
