Dragons- Daughter of the Demon! Book 2! ✔

CHAPTER 15- HURT AND CONFUSSED!

(ELANOR'S POV)

     "I wouldn't if I were you."  Ryker spoke with annoying confidence.

     "Well your not me."  I hissed, keeping my bow steady, aimed at his face.

     "If you let that arrow of yours slip  then he dies."  He glanced over at Aloysius.

     "What?  But that wasn't the deal!  I bring you your daughter and the Night Fury, you let me live.  That was our deal."  Pouted Aloysius.

     "Well you didn't bring me the Night Fury, did you?  Krogan would have paid a pretty penny to get his dragon back."  Growled Ryker.

     "I'm sorry!"  Aloysius fell to his knees and wept.  "P-Please Ryker, let me go!  You can have my village and my people, even my gold!  Just allow me to leave, I beg of you!"  

     "Do you really care so little about your people?  How can you still be thinking of yourself?"  I roared at him.

     He ignored me and kept his beady little eyes on Ryker.

     "I'm taking your gold anyway!  And your village, and your people!  Soon you will be of no more use to me."  Said Ryker before turning his head back to me.

     "Now, daughter,"  He spoke as Aloysius began sobbing on the stone.  "Where is the Night Fury?"  

     "Don't you dare call me that!"  I screamed.

     "Why?  You aren't still mad at me because of what I did to your mother, are you?"  He smirked.  "How I killed her with no remorse?  How I thrust my sword right through her heart?  How I watched her gasp for breath as she lay sprawled on the floor?"  

     "Stop it!"  I let go of my arrow.

     He caught it with one hand and his smile widened.  I gasped.  He turned around and held the arrow high before bringing it down.  An ear-piercing scream echoed through the cave as Aloysius dropped from his hands and knees the the floor with the arrow sticking out of his back.  Blood started flowing out of his mouth as he took his last breath.  

     "You monster."  I cursed his name under my breath.

     "What?  Like he didn't deserve it?"  He said.

     Ryker snapped his fingers and hunters came into the cave.  Some aimed their weapons at me while the others hauled off the lifeless body.  

     "So, are you going to answer my question now?"  He smiled as his hunters surrounded me.

     "No, I will never tell you where she is.  Even if I did know."  I growled.

     "Don't lie to me child!  You know where they are!"  He yelled

     He has a short temper, I could use this to my advantage.  But, I must also be wary of it.

     I kept my eyes locked with his.

     "I will kill everyone you love until you tell me where the Night Fury is.  Then I'll kill the Night Fury and sell it's body to Krogan.  And lastly, I'll slit your throat after I'm done!"  He threatened.

     "You've never been able to defeat the riders before.  What makes you think you can kill them now?"  

     "They are weak!  They value the lives of others, pathetic!  Which makes taking them down, easy.  All I have to do is say that I'll kill you.  And if that doesn't get them then I'll start killing off the village people, in plain sight.  Until the riders give themselves up."  He snickered at his own plan.
