Chapter Fourteen - Protector

Jaehyun was laying on a cold surface. Yet he was no longer naked. He was in a loose shirt with tight pants.

A common outfit which he used to wear when he would stroll around the house of desires many years ago.

He slowly opens his eyes, blinking to adjust to the bright light in the room. He doesn't recognise where he is.

It is a big empty room, with a single light which lights up the whole space. Jaehyun slowly moves to be in a seated position.

That's when he notices there is someone beside him, tied to a chair. He focuses on the figure, quickly recognising Taeyong's features.

The dark haired male is unconscious as he sags forward in his restraints. Jaehyun can't get anything from the others mind. It's blank.

"He's fine. His head might be a little sore but he's okay" A feminine voice echoes through the room.

Jaehyun begins to tremble with anger as he moves to be in a standing position.

"What the hell Amethyst?!" He spits out as he turns to face the woman. Her black hair is no longer tied up as she wears dark, skin tight pants with a shirt which covers her whole torso.

A long blade is tucked into a belt which is loosely resting on her hips. Sighing she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear before speaking, still not meeting the blond haired's gaze.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you seriously think that I would just allow you to kill my master? I can read your thoughts Jae!" She snaps bitterly.

"He can't simply unblock Yuta's mind. The only way to do so is if he dies. And I'm sorry but Taeyong is more important to me then your dignity as a protector" Jaehyun retorts.

"I'm just so glad that you found the love of your life, Jaehyun. Please don't tell me that you're happy. I couldn't care less" She loses her composure for a moment as her breath begins to wobble.

Saying nothing, she pulls the blade before her, pointing the tip at Jaehyun as she finally raises her gaze to meet his.

"You'll have to get through me first. Protectors die before the master."

The emotions which may have held Jaehyun back disappeared the moment he saw Taeyong.

Immediately, he holds his hand out, a ball of flame is quick to conjure just above his palm. Amethyst braces herself as he throws it in her direction.

She slices it in half with her blade. It isn't any ordinary blade. She knew that Jaehyun would use his powers against her. Hence she grabbed her enchanted blade.

Against a warlock, it'll destroy any powers. Yet against a mortal or even the blades handler, great pain is the only outcome.

Jaehyun shakes his head as he moves towards her. She takes a step back and raises her blade, aiming to cut his torso. Yet the older grasps the blade in his bare palm.

Amethyst stares at his hand in pure horror as she observes the blood which begins to pour from his palm.

Distracted, she lets go of the blade. This allows Jaehyun to drop it to the floor. He is quick to kick her in the stomach.

She cries out in pain as she takes several steps backwards.

"Read this bitch" He mutters as he elbows her jaw.

Amethyst struggles to keep her footing as he hands fly to cover her soon to be bruised jaw.

She can foresee the warlock's moves yet she won't block him. There are many reasons why, all of them too complicated to explain.
