TROY
Chapter 36 – Hatred
After leaving Cindy, Masias had returned to his home in a fit of rage. How dare she do this to him, he hadn't treated her so badly. What right did she have to say that he couldn't have her? She was his. She was privileged to have him. Most females would do anything to have someone who was destined for such honour and greatness. He would show her. Once he became all powerful she would regret ever leaving him. Yes, she would come to be known as the stupidest female in the entire Kingdom, the one that let the great Masias slip through her fingers. Such were the delusions of his crazed mind.
For many days he remained in his abode reflecting over and over these thoughts and shunning contact with others. From time to time Troy would come and see him and try to bolster his mood. He would update Masias on the progress of their cause and tell him how strongly the support base was growing. He would assure Masias that Cindy would see her folly once their plan had been accepted and Masias had become one of the leading lights in the new order. This would indeed cheer him for a time, but once Troy left the darkness would return. At length he decided that he would visit Cindy again to see if she had come to her senses.
He left his side of the Kingdom early and made good time travelling to the abode of the friend with whom Cindy had previously stayed. Her name was Brenda and Masias greeted her warmly.
'Brenda, how are you? I haven't seen you in the longest time,' he chirped cheerfully, as though his heart wasn't brimming with hatred.
'I'm well thanks Masias,' responded Brenda coolly, not in the least bit disarmed by his apparent pleasantness.
'Have you seen Cindy lately?' he asked casually.
'No, not for a couple of weeks now,' answered Brenda truthfully.
'Oh, isn't she staying with you any longer?' asked Masias.
'No, she moved to a new home some time ago,' replied Brenda.
'Where did she move to?' asked Masias, not in the least bit expecting to be denied this information.
'I'm afraid that I can't tell you Masias, Cindy has asked me not to,' Brenda replied in a tone that underlined that she was not going to be persuaded otherwise.
'What?' yelled Masias, all of his pleasantness disappearing in an instant.
This shocked Brenda. Cindy had described his mood swings, and his anger, but she had never experienced anything like it.
'I promised that I wouldn't tell you, Masias, and I won't', Brenda responded, completely firm in her reply, notwithstanding his outrage.
'Brenda, if you don't tell me immediately you will live to regret it!' Masias demanded, attempting to bully an answer from a gentler spirit.
