2Moons - Dark Moons

CH 61 - Masters

Phana POV

I feel sick as I watch, I remember that room. I remember the screams as I drifted in and out of consciousness from whatever they gave me and I remember seeing Pring when I woke up.

"Yo..."

He doesn't answer, his eyes still fixed on the screen even when it goes dark. I can hear people around us talking but I'm more scared when Yo doesn't look at me or answer.

"Yo I...I didn't..." I whisper. "Please Yo believe me, I...I...didn't...do it..."

He turns to look at me, his hand touching my cheek. "I know love."

"That..."

"The council has decided on the punishment." The main voice interrupts the talking. "A newling that can't be controlled will be removed..."

"What you are accusing him of, is not possible." Yo interrupts. "He will never drink from anyone but me."

"Under certain circumstances, they can lose control."

"Not him."

"You cannot just reveal something like that and make a decision." Forth interrupts.

"We need time to find out how it was made, by whom and why." Ming adds.

"This was checked by our experts." The Council head shouts. "You are saying our finding can be wrong?"

"You have made enough wrong accusations for there to be room for doubt." Mistress Yiwan answers.

"You need to give us time to conduct our own investigation." P'Lee tells the assembled.

There's agreement from the majority watching, something like this cannot be rushed.

"You give those under you too much free reign..." The council head seethes watching Yo.

"I don't need you to question how I treat my family and friends." Yo answers calmly.

"You have 24 hours." The council head's voice echoes silencing the crowd. "Until then, we will hold the Newling..."

"You will do no such thing." Yo tells him. "I will ash anyone who tries to touch him."

I see the head smirk, they want this, they want Yo to go against them. Two from the council table move heading for us. I feel Yo's hand tighten in mine, moving closer to me.

I was watching the front I didn't see the others move, two vampires are on either side of P'Lee, Ming and Forth. The mist around them is darker, I think it's master vampires and there are too many. I see Yo mist when someone tries to pull me away.

"You will not touch my Beloved." Yo's voice booms in the hall, turning the one trying to pull me away to ash. Before doing the same to those holding the others.

There is silence before loud talking and shouting erupts around the hall. Did he say beloved? He did. Does the young master have a beloved? That means a mating bite. That video is false?

"Use the Lash." The head shouts.

"You can't use that." Someone yells.

"He said Beloved, what are you doing?"

But the man isn't listening to anyone, shouting his own orders and people are running to obey. What did that mean? I see Yo take shape, as the others yell something and rush back to us. Yo wraps himself around me, the others coming to Yo.
