Walking down the dungeon was very dark especially as we walked deeper and deeper into the dungeon and it started to get cold.
“Are you okay?” Damon asked while placing his jacket on my shoulders.
“I’m fine, it’s just colder than I expected.” I shrugged it off but still wore the jacket.
Getting closer to where she was the aura started to change. It was unnaturally cold and I could hear screams of horror, were they torturing her already? I’ll love to do the honours.
Getting to where she was held, the sight before me was pleasing as well as disheartening. Loranda was chained to the wall with silver. Her feet chained to the ground and her hand chained as well. Silver crown rested on her head and I could feel the agony she was going through because that was what Damon’s beta made me go through. Although nobody was torturing her, the chain was burning her up.
She screamed in pain and when she opened her eyes, our eyes locked and seeing her like that broke my heart a bit but I quickly remembered all what she has done to me. She wasn’t even feeling anything yet, nobody was torturing her or stabbing her multiple times, no creature was sent to exterminate her, no beast left a scar on her body, no pack had attacked her defenseless, she was still lucky, she hasn’t felt anything yet. I’ll make her feel every single pain she made me feel.
” Sam please do the honours. ” I smiled as Sam got out a whip coated with silver.
He looked at me in a way that asked if I really wanted to do this. I didn’t want him to because I want to be the one that caused her pain but since the silver will hurt me as well that was why Sam got to do it.
If she thought she was hurting, she wasn’t prepared for this. I’ll make her scream till she lost her voice and begs for her life.
The first slash of the whip was on her shoulders and she let out a loud scream. The second was on the side of her stomach. The whip was hitting her everywhere and soon enough her screams started getting faint.
“What was it you wanted to tell me? ” I asked as she groaned in pain.
Taking time to catch her breath, she looked up and then looked at me. “I…. I… need… your help. ” She stuttered staring at me with a pleading eyes.
I smiled as Sam continued the whipping and she continued screaming.
“Stop… please… I just… want… to… talk. ” Talk? Did she listen when she killed mum and dad?
She killed mum and dad without any explanation. She killed them and now she wants to talk and wants my help? The anger kept on burning in me. She deserved to die, to be hung or burnt for everyone to see.
“Talk? Talk you say? After all these years you just want to casually talk as if you didn’t hunt me down or kill my parents or anything. What is it that you could possibly talk about, what makes you think I’m interested in knowing or even help you with whatever it is after everything you’ve done. You deserve nothing but death Loranda. ” I shouted angrily. I’ve never felt this much anger before, I was recollecting everything she did. The innocent lives she has taken just to get to me. They deserved justice, she deserves to die and die now.
I was so angry it was giving me a headache and recollecting all those memories was making me dizzy. She shouldn’t have been born.
I picked up a dagger laced with silver. I was aiming to stab her stomach but she swiftly turned causing me to miss and stab her waist instead.
“You’re evil, you deserve to die.” As I said that she let out a loud scream of pain and when she looked in my eyes I felt something from her. Sadness and regret. I tried taking my eyes off her but then I saw something, it was like a memory.
I saw two children playing in the garden running around, one was blowing bubbles and the younger one was trying to burst them. They were so little, like five and three. The younger one kept running and lost her balance and started crying. The elder one immediately went to meet her.
“Sorry Lianna, you should be careful but don’t worry. Your big sister is here, I’ll take care of you.” She didn’t look like she could really take care of herself much less her younger sister but she said it with so much confidence and love.
My head started spinning and I jolted out of my reverie with a pant. What was that?
“Lee, are you alright?” I could faintly hear Damon and others call out to me but I was too weak to reply.
I couldn’t feel any part of my body anymore. I felt so weak and dizzy. I held my head as different memories of us when we were little was threatening to be released. I let out a loud scream before my body gave out. I could have collapsed on the floor but someone caught me, I couldn’t see who. I could still faintly hear someone ask Loranda what she did to me. The blood on the floor kept on spilling, she shouldn’t die, she couldn’t die. I needed answers.
I tried calling out to them to do something about it, to save her but I could barely keep my eyes open or even hear my voice and then my eyes closed.
DAMON’S POV
Seeing Lee talk and act like that was quite shocking. I’ve never seen her like that except from the time we met. There’s a feisty side of her that I admire. She was furious, she looked like she would kill Loranda anytime soon. There was something about Loranda that seemed off but I couldn’t quite place it. Their family seemed remarkable, they come from a strong and powerful lineage only to be compared but not as powerful as the Wolf King who was the most powerful. They alone had the purest of all powers but in times past a lot has tainted it.
The wolf king was never seen but his power could be felt. They lived far away from every other wolves, their superiority was unmatched. Sometimes I wonder why he allowed Loranda continue with her atrocities but then this current Wolf King is the worst. They had done a lot of things that I didn’t even want to remember but all of them will meet their waterloo just as Loranda was now.
I wondered what Loranda was really up to and what it was that she desperately wanted to talk about with Lee but couldn’t seem to talk about. If she wanted to really say it she could have gone straight to the point but she let them keep on torturing her, it was as if she was embarrassed or scared? I was curious about her. What does she really want, why does she want it, what does she have to say? These questions kept on burning in my heart. There was something about her that made you want to pity her. She looked so much like Lianna but with darker features if her pitch black eyes and hair was anything to go by. There was something about her that we were all missing and it was important we found out and soon.
Lianna was furious speaking to her and it was crazy to know that Loranda truly killed her parents. What could have made her turn like this? That was what we needed to know first.
Lianna angrily picked up a dagger and stabbed Loranda. Loranda was already looking dead and this seemed to have been the final blow. It was a wonder how she wasn’t dead but then again Lianna was also chained and tortured with silver and she survived. Lee wasn’t strong enough yet, she should be resting, she has done enough for the day already. She deserved to rest.
When Lianna stabbed Loranda, there was a strong force that immediately occupied the room. Something was going on underneath that we just weren’t seeing. Lianna could barely keep her eyes away from Loranda and that was when I tried pulling her out but she seemed to not budge. It was as if she was transported somewhere, did she remember something again? Come to think of it, I wonder why her memory from when she was little was wiped out, there was still a big secret we had to uncover.
“Lee, are you alright?” I asked as she came back.
She kept on looking at Loranda perplexed. What did she see? I saw Aria looking at me and I knew she could sense that something was wrong somewhere.
Jonathan went to Loranda asking her what she did to Lianna and Sam watched as Loranda’s life was slipping away. Chase seemed lost, I bet he couldn’t really understand anything going on.
I needed to get Lianna away from here. She sounded like she was saying something but I couldn’t hear it, her eyes could barely stay open or stay away from Loranda. I heard her say something like save and then I heard Aria scream that Loranda shouldn’t die and went to meet her asking Chase to call the doctor. Lianna seemed really weak and dizzy and as her eyes closed I ordered for someone to get the doctor.
What the hell was happening?
