Darkness has an heir

Chapter 4

Rain Dark

The male let another scream as I brought the hammer down on his knee." Who do you work for?" I asked again. I've been standing here for 3 hours now, he was close to cracking, at least I hoped he was." I'm from the Rose bloodline!" He wailed and I smiled, he answered correctly.

Trina let out a gasp and I turned to her." Rose is the bloodline that slew my family. Our bloodline is the Sage bloodline." She stated, she signaled she wanted the hammer and I gave it to her.

Trina Sage

I grabbed him by the hair," Why did you kill the human?" I whispered harshly into his ear. I growled in rage when he didn't answer. I picked up a long thin nail made of silver stone grimacing at its sharp tip, I put it on the bone of his middle finger and drove the hammer home. His scream hurt my ears but I didn't stop hammering until his hand was stuck in the table.

"I'll ask again, why did you kill the human?" when he didn't answer I hammered his foot to the table. Stephanie was right next to me her smile widening as she listened to his bones breaking. I looked at him again." We were ordered to!" He wailed then passed out from the pain.

Some healers came in healing the worst of the damage while we washed off all the blood." When can I have a turn?" Stephanie whined.
"When I won't throw up from seeing someone's insides." I said taking my apron off.
" What a hypocrite. You broke your own kind's bones with a straight face but you'll lose your lunch if I cut him open? Stephanie spat at me and I looked over at the bloody male. He had a rounder curve to his ears...He wasn't a high fae...
Raine chuckled snapping me from my thoughts." Stephanie, T and  I are gonna take a break. I will give you a list of questions to ask him, okay?"

Stephanie's face brightened up." Okay! Can I get someone like to write his answers down? Cause I ain't gonna remember it all." Raine nodded and went to fetch someone."Don't go too far... I don't imagine you're actually as cruel as you act. Don't make yourself uncomfortable Steph." I warned Stephanie, she merely rolled her eyes at me before turning her back.
" We all have our stories Faerie scum."

Once Raine returned with someone to write notes, I took her hand and led her out of the torture chambers looking back at Stephanie. I needed to talk to my mate about this...It was concerning that one of our closest friends was suddenly so off with me.
She soon started leading because I had no clue where to go while I contemplated how to bring up my concerns regarding Stephanie.

Stephanie Philips

I smiled as the male woke up and went pale as he only saw me." Now we're gonna have some fun." He whimpered and I smiled wider." Let's begin, shall we? Who is the head of the Rose line currently?" He was trembling but replied every other word stammered," The royal family, King Gabriel is the current ruler." I nodded, this was pointless, I knew all this. What was Raine doing wasting time on a demi fae when clearly the murder was done by someone far stronger? I shrugged and let the servant write it down.

"Who is the heir?" He didn't reply to that one and I picked up a thin but sharp blade." I'll start at the bottom." I cut into his skin, his leg jumping slightly at the sting. I slide the blade from his ankle to his knee, then I cut in a circle and ripped all the skin off. He gave an ear-piercing scream." Who. Is. The. Heir?" I sliced more with each word until I was halfway up his thigh. He spat at me and I moved to his other leg starting at the bottom again. It had been a while since I flayed someone but it wasn't too hard to remember how.

Raine Dark

I lead Trina to my private gardens, the one she spied outside of our bedroom window, she looked at the golden roses with awe." Do you like them?" I teased startling her from her thoughts.
"They're beautiful." I nodded slipping into her arms. She held me tight and we just stood there breathing in the calming breeze, I liked this, I wish I could feel the well of love for her as she felt for me.

"I'm so happy right now even with all these problems surrounding us, I just feel so calm and happy." Trina murmured and I hummed my agreement.
"T, we're both immortal and that means we have like forever to be with each other, right?" She nodded and we just continued standing in sweet silence.

" We need to talk about Stephanie though. She said something that's a little concerning." I frowned and looked over at Trina.
" What? Is it her lack of reaction to the torture? You know she lived on the dark web."
Trina shook her head and sighed." She called me Faerie scum."

Neev Sage

I was walking down a hall when I heard a scream, I instantly ran towards it. The guards let me in seeing that I was Raine's friend. I regretted it very quickly, inside Stephanie was grinning like a psychopath as she cut a males stomach open. She paused seeing me, she was stained in blood...So much blood, it was sickening." Hey Neev, what's the matter? Are you bored? Wanna play with me?" She extended the blade to me, her eyes held no remorse. The sobs of the male laying strapped to the table filled my ears and when I met his eyes, the fear within them mad me turn my back to my so called friend.

" She's insane!" the male cried as if I could help him. I shook my head and she shrugged and went back to cutting him up. I heard her asking questions when he wasn't screaming, she would cut something each time he refused to answer. I ran out feeling sick to the stomach. I ran outside catching sight of my sister and Raine, I walked to them my hands shaking.
