Revealed (Book 2)

Chapter 16- Crashing the Ball 2

Athena (E) POV...

I absorbed a portion of Zacian's power and compelled the guards to my will, "we four are the ones who tortured Brittney and enjoyed it," I extracted memories from their minds, and played out what they did to her, to the crowd.

But to my surprise, Micheal came downstairs in the dungeon, "well, that's unexpected," I whispered under my breath and took a sip of champagne.

I watched how his face had hardened, and he wouldn't look at Brittney when he came down to her cellar, "I've already spoken to Marcus, and he has ruled in my favor you are not to lay a finger on her until the day of her ruling."

They nodded their heads, "yes prince Micheal."

Micheal hesitantly looked at her and held her gaze for a second before leaving, after the doors had closed and the second the door sealed off one of the guards took a knife and stabbed her in the stomach, she screamed out loud when one of the guards grabbed a dirty cloth and shoved it in her mouth.

"Shut up halfbreed," one of the guards said before spitting in her face, she held her head down and closed her eyes tightly, as she bleeds out.

The other guard grabbed a whip, "the second you and your mongrel mother were born you both should have been killed including your grandparents, you all are an abomination," he wrapped the whip around her throat chocked her, "and since as I can't eradicate your bloodline, torturing you is what will do," he stepped away and whipped her, across her back.

I amplified her screams. She was heard throughout the kingdom, I looked over to where Micheal fangs started to show and folded his hand in a fist trying to restrain himself. I snapped my fingers, and soon time paused around us, I walked over to Brittney, "you're doing all of this?"

"Si, but if you want I could stop all of this have them walk free and wipe everyone's memory, but really it is your choice," I slowly sip my champagne.

"If I say no, they walk free and could hurt the next person who is like me, but if I decide that you kill them, it stops here."

"But truly everyone in this room thinks just like they do, food for the thought," I walked back over to Marcus and snapped my finger and resumed time.

I compelled them to pull for their swiss army knife and put it against their throat, "and as apart of the law a traitor must be put to death for torturing an innocent soul, it is only fair that we're put to death," they said in sync. They stood there frozen, waiting for the last command.

My eyes switched over to where Brittney stood slowly. I sipped my champagne and waited. It felt like hours passed by, but I knew it was only seconds that had passed. I was watching her in the corner of my eye, and when she finally gave me her answer, I decided the slitting of their throat will be too good for them.

I controlled the water in their bodies, causing them to cry blood. I watched as people started moving away towards the exit. I summoned wind and ceiled the doors, and froze the windows shut.

"This is the price each of you will pay if you continue this route," they said in sync. Blood started to seep out of their pores. I heard the crowd screaming and the guards grabbing the royals, trying to get them out of the ballroom.

Marcus led me on the staircase further away, and eventually, Micheal and Brittney joined my side. I took another sip of my champagne. They started to vomit blood, and soon parts of their guts were everywhere.

I looked up where Hekate was standing with my mother. Hekate could see right through me she knew I was not the Athena she knew and raised.

"Stop this now," she mouthed to me.
