Chapter 9

~*cObY's PoInT oF vIeW*~ "This is more than ridiculous! Release me! I've done nothing to you nor your most evil whore!" I cried, lowering my eyebrows, "Let me go!" I ran up to the cell bars just as they clicked them close. "Your constant yelling and spoiled ways are beginning to give me a headache. Either you shut the fuck up or I will take you to Alania!" a guard barked at me. "Ah, go on and take me to her. That'll show me that you have some balls!" I hissed, feeling my eyes turn color. The guard's face turned a rough color of scarlet as he shoved the key into my cell's lock and opened it. In a blink of an eye, I was snatched out of my cell and thrown against the brick wall. He turned me around so I could face him, "This is your last warning!" I summoned up some saliva and hawked it in his face. He grumbled in disgust and twisted my arm as he led me down the corridor. "You twist arms like a mortal," I jeered, huffing at him. "You have not been here more than a day and already you are on my nerves," hissed the guard, dragging me down a maze of winding corridors and stairwells which were richly decorated with gold and diamonds. Macabre paintings were on the wall such as the picture of Vlad the Impaler drinking and feasting while the dying or dead were on stakes like morbid trophies of his power. Finally, we came to a room at the end of a hallway and the guard opened the door. Icy air welcomed us and my eyes blinked rapidly to get used to the brightness of it. The guard knelt to the floor in front of a woman, "Your Most Evil Highness, I have brought you a disturber of our solemn, yet peaceful, boundaries." I rolled my eyes, "Ass kisser." "Be gone, my guard," ordered the woman, lowering her eyebrows. The guard quickly got to his feet, bowed and shuffled out. "Come closer, my Dark Child," continued the woman, eyes narrowing. I didn't budge. "You are the stubborn one, yes? Well, you ARE the spawn of Jayden, so I presume you inherited it from her and her friends," sighed the woman, "How stupid of me. I did not introduce myself. My name is Alania, ruler of all that is evil and you must be Jacoby." When she did not get a reply from me, she added, "I must admit that Jayden had good taste when she chose you. You are stunningly beautiful." "What did you do to my friends?!" I demanded of Alania, ignoring her comment. "Nobody has friends in this place. *I* am your friend and the only one that you would ever have and ever need." "Well, you ain't a very good friend if you do not respond to my questions." "I have had enough of your tongue." "But, I haven't even laid a kiss on you!" "Are you snotting off to me?! Me, Alania?!" "Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck who you are. Just because you are the oldest one here doesn't mean that you are our high and mighty queen. You are the same as us. No better, no different." Frustrated, Alania snapped, "Guards! Take this one away! He looks like trouble!" to be continued
