Closer to my Beloved's Heart

Chapter Forty-Two

Rose sneered before a closed cell door at the growing number of Witches and Sorcerers who glared at her. Men and women of the magical power were caught upon Earth as well as other planes then were dragged back to the Bloodshire plane; an alternate world adjacent to Earth herself. Each Witch and Warlock were stripped of their powers with an injection of a mystical potion made by a haggard Witch that made them all powerless.

She would use these creatures as The Beast and her soldiers, to brainwash and bend to her will. To train for a bigger better war than the Battle of Rage; the war she planned on waging on all of those filthy abominations. And with the evil Russian Warlock on her side, she was powerful. She and Hades would be invincible when the entire race of Vampires were exterminated.

Warlocks would charge the thick metal cell door, ramming their shoulders against it countless times. The bars wouldn't budge but their shoulders sure did. They'd scream out in pain, making Rose's delight in their misfortune even more. Some were on the verge of insanity as they paced the large cell. She enjoyed tormenting them as well.

When she would hit the long taser stick against the bars of the cell door repeatedly, the women would scream in frustration as the men would charge the cell door and spit at her. Now that, she wouldn't take. The vile name-calling didn't phase her, the threats against her life didn't phase her either because she knew that they'd never be fulfilled.

She'd ram the long taser stick into their stomachs and electrocute them. They'd fall to the ground and quake as the waves of electricity ran through their veins. She would laugh at their pain and mock their screams. She loved to torture them. She'd remove the taser from them when they'd begun to foam at the mouth. Others would try to pull them back away from the door but they would be shocked with the fluent electricity still running through them.

Again they cursed and threatened her as all she did was laugh. They never came to the cell door again, fear set in their eyes when she approached them. Now with having a substantial number of Warlocks and Witches, she ordered them to be brainwashed; to have a metal spike inserted into the head, just behind the ear, at the base of the brain. Her soldiers took care of that, the screams of the prisoners echoing throughout her castle.

Nothing could be more satisfying than this. Well, for now anyways.

She reveled in the screams, leaning her head back and closing her eyes when Stefen walked up to her.

"Aren't those sounds intoxicating?" Rose groaned.

"Yes they are. Rose, we got a problem."

"Nothing could upset me at this moment."

Stefen sighed, knowing that statement wasn't true.

"Ardemys and the girl are gone."

Rose froze, her red eyes opening slowly. She slowly turned and looked at Stefen, not believing her ears.

"What did you say?"

"They're gone."

Anger surged inside her as she clenched her fists at her sides. She bared her fangs and growled.

"Son of a bitch!"

She flitted to the room with Stefen right behind her. When she reached the door, she ripped it off its hinges and tossed it to the side. She stalked inside only to find an empty room; the beakers and shit she gave him were all clean and gleaming. Stefen stood beside her silently as she seethed. How the fuck did they escape? Her castle was always guarded no matter if it were night or day. So how the fuck did they escape her castle upon another plane?

With a vicious growl, she trashed the room while yelling and growling like the beast she was.

Ardemys was a traitor. He would die alongside those filthy abominations. She should have stripped that traitorous fuck of his powers but she revered him because of his infamous reputation.

But now, now that Russian bastard kickstarted the war that will exterminate both the Power Wielders and the Vampires. For nothing nor no one could ever stand a chance against Rose Wilde aka Slash and live to see another day...
