Opening the automobile door I obtained inside to sit down subsequent to Ruka who was already within the driver’s seat, speaking to Sebastian. Once I sat comfortably he began the automobile and turned the steering wheel.

“No, that is sufficient for now…sure…proceed with that we’ll be down there in twenty minutes… Eve is coming with me…” he spoke on the cellphone. Knocking down the window, I glanced my head out to really feel the air blowing on the face whereas my hair moved backward, “No that is not needed…okay,” he reduce the decision.

The one lights on the highway had been the sunshine emitted by the headlights of the automobile as we drove. I noticed the bushes cross by in a fast movement, the sky was lined with clouds right here and there. I felt myself smile as I closed my eyes to welcome the breeze. The sensation I felt now was exhilarating, lengthy drives at night time had been refreshing.

“You will catch a chilly, love,” I heard Ruka say and on cue my nostril itched calmly making me sneeze. Touching my nostril with my fingertips and felt the chilly.

“The place are we going?” I requested him curiously as he took a distinct route that I hadn’t been to.

“Deep contained in the woods there’s an underground cell the place we maintain rogues or different beings that do not abide by the foundations,” he mentioned and I hummed, “To be sincere I do not assume it is a good suggestion taking you there.”

“Why not?” I requested him turning in the direction of him.

“What’s inside will not be a reasonably sight to witness, Eve and also you picked the unsuitable day to return. However…” he mentioned taking a look at me, “You wish to see how I work and what I accomplish that I am going to take you there but it surely’s your selection if you wish to get inside.”

“Okay,” I nodded to what he mentioned and contemplated on it.

I knew how he labored, it did not take a genius to determine that out after seeing him lined in blood holding a physique a couple of days again. The so-called interrogation was pure brutal. I wished to see what Ruka labored on and with the issues such because the misplaced stones, I used to be curious.

Serious about what occurred within the rest room my face felt sizzling. I had learn such issues solely in books however for it to really occur was a very totally different matter. I did not know if I ought to applaud for Ruka or me for having self-control. Possibly he was fearful about what Annesana had mentioned.

“Why did Memphis ask concerning the stone? Is he a part of the people who find themselves gathering the stones?” I requested him as we went by way of a slender highway.

“He’s a part of the Naxals in keeping with what Leo and the others gathered,” he answered and earlier than I may ask what Naxals was he spoke, “They’re much like rouges however totally different on the similar time. Discovering their location is a tough factor to do. They’re many sorts, the one he’s a part of is harmful.”

“So these Naxals are those that attacked the varsity in Romania and he is a part of them?” I requested him fearful, by the sound of it, their character sounded considerably odd.

“I do not assume so,” he shook his head and stopped the automobile in the midst of nowhere.

“What do you imply?” I requested him whereas he opened the door and I did the identical.

“The issue is what my males knowledgeable is not the correct data. Memphis is not a part of Naxals however one other group. What individuals undertaking and what individuals really are, are two separate issues, Eve,” he mentioned opening the backseat door and pulled a muffler out. Coming in the direction of me he put it round my neck, to forestall me from the chilly night time. He rested his hand on my decrease again,

“Keep shut, love. There are different creatures aside from us now,” my head snapped round to see our abandoned environment.

I did not discover something as my eyes inspected the darkish forest, I may hear the crickets as Ruka led the best way. Driving right here was not potential as there have been a whole lot of bushes planted and massive rocks on the bottom. The bushes had unusual shapes and its branches twisted, lengthy. There was just a little quantity of fog within the air however we may see the best way. After strolling for a couple of meters we reached a cave-like place. I heard a twig snap behind us as if somebody had walked on it. Once I turned my physique moved nearer to Ruka, I noticed shadows creeping behind bushes which had been a couple of toes away from us.

“I did not know there have been different creatures till a yr in the past,” I mumbled to myself.

“The guts of the darkish forest offers a sanctuary to many recognized and unknown supernatural creatures. A human would by no means stumble right here as its troublesome to search out this place and if the individual does…” he left the sentence hanging within the air and I gulped.

“The pixies that you just so referred to as are a part of this place. They’re menacing creatures,” he touched one thing on the wall and the place lit up with mild.

“However they did not appear that approach,” I mentioned confused, “They had been like little fairies,” I instructed to solely hear him chuckle.

“Menacing in a sheep’s clothes,” he held my hand, “They entice their prey with their magnificence and light-weight. That day the little factor was main you to a entice, I am glad I discovered you sooner,” he mentioned squeezing my hand.

“Your Highness and queen,” I noticed a person standing with an eye fixed patch in place with a gruff trying face. Listening to the phrase queen titled to me sounded unusual.

“Vernon,” Ruka greeted the person, “How’s the work immediately?” he requested.

“It was clean as standard. We had a lady and two males added to the jail immediately. The third normal is interrogating one in all them within the twenty-fifth cell,” he knowledgeable to Ruka, “Second in command left right here a couple of minutes in the past.”

“Sure, I requested Sebastian to go residence. And do not name my mate as queen, Vernon. She feels uncomfortable, Eve is ok,” he smiled and I noticed Vernon’s eyes go vast earlier than his expression turned again clean, he nodded his head.

“Sure, your highness,” he rapidly replied.

As we went inside I noticed there have been many cells on each the edges with thick vertical bars protecting them. The cell partitions had been lined with patches of darkish purple colour and claw marks, the entire place was rusted. Strolling additional I noticed skeletons inside, some in sitting place and a few standing with chains round. Once we got here to an finish I heard voices. It was Leo speaking and one other man speaking.

“It is higher in case you inform us why you killed one of many academics within the woods,” I heard Leo interrogate.

Transferring nearer I noticed Memphis hand certain by chains. There was a deep gash on the facet of his head and his physique bruised.

“She was a tasty meal,” was the snarky reply Memphis gave to solely get stung by two electrical rods on his physique by one other man. His physique jerked as a result of shock however I doubted there was solely electrical energy working within the rods.

“That is sufficient, Leo,” Ruka mentioned beside me.

Memphis’s c.o.c.ky face was no extra in place figuring out who was within the room now. At first, I assumed he was going to speak however after the lengthy silence within the room and Ruka elevating his hand, I noticed Memphis’s physique go to invisible shocks.

“Are you going to reply?” I heard Ruka ask him however Memphis despatched a glare, “Or possibly not.”

Memphis was gritting his tooth and I heard him scream in ache. Was this the franchixer’s facet speaking? It was like Ruka’s entire persona took one other mild when the franchixer was evident. Chilly eyes with none regret and heavy air surrounded us. The look on his face was pure evil.

“Prepared to speak?” Ruka requested tilting his head to the facet.
