20 My Loss And Your Anger

"You really have lost it." Neil told Shiro as he shielded Abby. "Well she was the only one who could of ruined my plans, I had to kill her. I'm sure you understand." Neil glanced at Yuki's grandma lifeless body. He was thinking what he could do. He had no problem killing Shiro here and now, but would that be okay with Seth? Now he had to explain a lot and be the bearer of bad news to Yuki. It was a bad situation indeed. He looked back at Shiro. "You have sentenced yourself to death stupid human. Seth won't let this go. He has been very merciful with you for Yuki's sake, but this, this is crossing the line." "I don't care what you say, I will kill him and Yuki in the end. No matter what I have to do, or who I have to use." He said while looking at Abby and grinning. "Shiro.. I never would of thought you'd be affected this much, I don't know you anymore you've become a monster!" Abby said through her tears rolling down her face. "I'm a monster? Haha don't make me laugh. Look at the monster right in front of you!" Abby looked at Neil's back. "He protected me. You just tried to kill me, and you killed Yuki's grandma! I see now you've been lying. You are starting something that humans are incapable of accomplishing. They are all going to die! I thought you cared for humanity!" "I stopped caring once I lost Yuki. I don't want a future without her by my side! I won't let that demon have her!"

Neil couldn't stand it anymore, he had to leave or he was going to tear the guy to pieces. "Hey woman, we are leaving." "W-what! but-" "Do you want more people dying tonight!?" Neil yelled at her. Abby didn't want to die, or for Neil to die, not even Shiro. "What about her?" She asked looking at the lady. Neil didn't say anything. "Do you intend to leave so soon?" Shiro cut in. "The fun is just getting started." "Sorry to be a downer but your head isn't mine to cut off." In a single movement he swooped Abby off the floor and launched himself through the window. He was gone before Shiro could react. "Damn it!" Shiro cried in anger. Neil made his way through the forest with Abby. "What's going to happen now?" Abby asked. "I don't know.. for now I am taking you to the castle, you'll be safe there and.. you'll get to see Yuki..." They both became silent. How where they supposed to tell Yuki. Back at the castle Yuki had just finished having dinner, she was on her way to her room to shower and maybe explore the castle some more before going to bed. "You seem happy." Seth spoke to her from behind. She jumped at his voice but then smiled and almost ran to him. "You are back! How'd it go?" "Not good. Saria is hiding in some other village." Seth stopped wondering if he should say anything to her about Shiro. "Also.." He decided to tell her, there was no point in keeping it from her, she'd find out sooner or later. He didn't want her to be upset for keeping something important from her.

"Are you serious! I can't believe how low Shiro has come. What can we do, we can't hurt anyone Seth!" "Yes I know, don't worry about that I will take care of it first thing in the morning." He caressed her cheek, admiring her face. She was so precious to him, she had no idea just how much. Their moment was interrupted by a guard. "Master! Neil is just got back, he has requested to see you and the lady as soon as possible, he says it's an emergency." Seth and Yuki quickly made their way to the waiting area at the front entrance of the castle. When the entered the room Yuki was shocked to find Abby there. "Abby? What are you doing here? What's going on?" She questioned as she went and greeted her friend with a hug. Then she noticed the blood all over her and panicked. "Are you hurt!? What happened!?" "I am okay... but.." Abby couldn't look at her in the eye. She looked at Neil almost begging for him to be the one to tell them. Neil got the message. "What's going on?" Seth asked him concerned. "Well you see.." Neil paused and looked at Yuki. "Yuki..." Neil spoke in a soft voice. She looked up at the sound of her name, she suddenly felt something in her stomach, a terrible uneasiness. "Yuki, you have to be strong.." "W-what do you mean?" Her body now facing Neil in full attention. "..It's your grandma.. she.. she's dead." Neil said and looked down, he didn't want to see her reaction.

Yuki felt numb, she couldn't believe her ears. She had to have misheard. "No." She laughed nervously, "This isn't funny Neil." Tears now falling uncontrollably from her face. "Is this some kind of sick joke! It's not funny!" Seth looked at Neil, he noticed he was injured and saw Abby covered in blood. He felt rage, he didn't need to hear what happened he'd already guessed. Yuki fell to her knees sobbing and screaming. "Stop lying!" Abby couldn't stand to see her friend in so much pain, she went to her side and tried to console her. "I'm sorry Yuki, I couldn't do anything. Shiro was-" She stopped herself, but it was too late, she had spoken too much. Yuki glared at her. "Shiro? What do you mean Shiro!?" Yuki questioned. "He killed her, Abby saw everything, he tried to kill her too. Luckily I made it on time." Neil said holding his arm the wound already slowly healing. Yuki let everything sink in, she couldn't believe this was happening. This all had to be a nightmare, a horrible nightmare she wanted to wake up from immediately. She felt like she was going to be sick, and sure enough she vomited. Seth was next to her in an instant. He rubbed her back and held her hand. He didn't know what to say to her. The last thing he wanted was for her to go through any more pain, and here she was hurting, and he couldn't do a damn thing about it.

He tried to help her up to take her to her room, but she went limp. He caught her before she could hit the floor. She had fainted. He picked her up carefully and began walking toward his room. He stopped before he left the room. "Get yourselves cleaned up, give her a room next to Yuki's. Have someone clean this mess up... I'll be back to talk to you Neil." "Yes my lord." Then he made his way to his room with a passed out Yuki in his arms. He tightened his grip on her and gritted his teeth, his eyes turned crimson red. He was pissed, pissed like he'd never been before. He wanted bloodshed and he was going to get it. He entered his room and laid Yuki on his bed. He took off her shoes and tucked her in bed. He sat down next to her contemplating her. He though of the day they had lost their fathers and the pain they felt. The pain he felt. He knew she was going through that again and hated it. Her grandmother had been like a real mother to her, and she was killed, just like her father. He kissed Yuki's forehead and silently promised himself he would make Shiro pay for everything. He placed her guardian egg next to her and left the room. He motioned two guards to go to him. "Don't move from here, no one is allowed in. If she wakes up let me know right away. Do not let her leave this room, it's your heads." "Yes master!" Said the two demons in unison. They hadn't seen the Prince upset like that in a long time.

Neil had left Abby in her room and was now in the medical room, cleaning up the wound. It was healing quickly then Seth walked in. "Tell me everything." "I pretty much already did, Shiro killed the woman because she knew the truth. She also supported you and felt she might get in the way of his plans. Abby happened to get there on time to see everything happen. He tried to kill her too, to leave no witnesses but I stepped in. If I hadn't made it in time she'd be dead too." "I'm going to kill him." "Yea I figured you'd wanna be the one to do that... How's Yuki?" Seth looked down, "Not good, how could she be okay, she just lost the only person she considered family." They both remained silent. "What's your plan then, I want in?" Neil asked "No.. this, this I do myself." Neil looked at Seth. "Seth.. I know you are my Prince, and I know what my place is, but as a friend I'd like to tell you to calm down-" "CALM DOWN!!? Don't you dare tell me to calm down! I will kill this motherfucker if it's the last thing I do!" Seth's eyes turned red yet again but this time it was more than that. He began to grow beast like teeth with long sharp fangs, his nails became sharp claws and his voice became that of what he really was, a demon, dark and terrifying. Neil's eyes went wide in horror, he had never seen Seth so angry that he was having trouble controlling his inner demon. He was scared, for the first time in his life, he was terrified of Seth. There was no way he or anyone could get in his way.
