Shades Of Red

Chapter Five

Chains held his arms high, blood smeared down his bare chest. He was scared, alone, and really hoped to just go home in time for his lovers birthday, having the night planned all out. A night in the enchanted garden, a small dance here and there, and heading back into their room for a wonderful night. But the problem is, he cant do any of that if hes locked in his own prison.  Adrian tried to break free once more, but only Adding another scar to his wrists. His constant torcer kept getting worse every hour. Chain lashes to extreme whip marks.  Adrian kept wishing to see his love again, but who really knows how long it really would be until that happened.

The prisoner's gate opened, shedding light in, but only for a second. There stood Guy, holding a whip again. Adrian hung his head in fear.

"Did you learn your lesson?" Guy asked, hitting the whip in his palm. Adrian nodded quickly, not speaking. That gave him a whip to the chest. "Speak, damn you!"  Guy yelled. "Yes!" Adrian said. "Why won't you just leave us alone? We didnt do anything wrong?" Adrian cried. "Selfish little Magix, you know what that boy is capable of. And so do i." Guy kneeled down to Adrians face, lifting it up. 'Now, tell me. Where. Is. the. Boy." Guy sternly said. "Ive told you a million times, hes in the fucking school. If he isnt then i dont know! Just please, let me go." Guy stood up. "Once i get him, you two will have a fun time in hell." Adrian growled, but it only came out as a soft hum.  Once Guy left, Adrian couldnt help feel he was defeated, attacked mentally by his own soul.  Hes putting his boyfriend in danger, just so he can escape. Selfish, plain out selfish.  Pulling at the chains again, Adrian swore he heard something. It sounded trustful. Pulling again, and again until something broke.  Adrian tumbled forward, his face met the ground, scratching the open wounds. Adrian groaned loudly, and tried to sit up. Only making it to where he was on his hands and knees.  "This is more pain than ive felt in a long time." Adrian said, standing up.  The good thing about having Royal Magix blood, that you can heal so much faster than a normal Magix. Wondering why he wasnt healed at all when every slash came. Ignoring that thought, Adrian walked up to the bars and punched. About every three punches, the bars bent.  After the sixteenth punch, Adrian was free. Stepping over the broken bars, Adrian tried to find himself some clothes.    Adrian peeked out from behind a cracked  door, he could hear three men.

"Do you really think he'll believe that?"

"Who knows, we won't know unless he actually tell him."

A voice Adrian could instantly recognized as Guy started to speak.

"Just leave him alone, we already have a Kamala after the boy. Besides, we were this close to getting him,"  Guy argued. But if werent for the "Kamala messing up and setting the boy free, he would be with us right now." Adrian placed his back against the stone wall, covering his mouth.  Why would they send something like a kamala after his love? Ace cant be that important to them, right?  Adrian already answered his own questions when looking back.  Guy left and the two men stood blocking the doorway, the only way Adrian could get to the portal room in time.  Adrian couldn't think of any plan to the big dumpsters right in front of him. They seemed smart enough to not get fooled easily, but now Adrian thought of something.   Spying on a spider on the ground, Adrian carefully picked it up and placed it on one of the men.  The spider crawled over the mans shoulder, not noticing it at all, but the other one saw it.  Unsheathing his knife, the man quickly stabbed both the spider and the man, killing both. The man who accidentally killed the person, freaked out and ran away, leaving the him behind.  Adrian took the man by the jacket and dragged his lifeless body into the room.  Adrian took off his clothes, and wore them. A bit big, but Adrian couldnt complain until he gets back into his loves arms. Running out of the room, Adrian made a sharp right turn, booking it.

Please make it there in time. Oh Ace, im coming.

Vlad smiled down at Ace, trying to get him to smile as well. The poor boy was heartbroken, but yet, he didnt know that wasnt Adrian and both Vlad and Alex cant tell him that it was a shape shifting Kamala or else theyll make Ace more terrified.  Vlad laid his head on Ace shoulder, hugging him from behind.  "I just want to make you smile, Ace. for you.. For me." Vlad admitted. Ace sighed. "I know.. I dont think i can though." Ace rubbed his clothed arms in a very depressed way. Vlads face softened at Aces tone. "How about this, once the Ball is over, ill take you to see the enchanted garden." Vlad suggested. Ace looked up at Vlad, nodding. Vlad gave Ace a small smile before placing Aces mask on him. The mask was black, small gems of different quarts decorated  the rim. Vlad had his signature white mask with black eyes.  Holding his arm out, Ace took it him his and walked out of Aces dressing room.  Alex awaited them with his date outside the Ballroom doors. "Ready Ace?" Alex asked. Ace sigh again. "I guess.." Alex frowned.
