Devils Beauty. (Chapter 41)

Karina left with fire in her eyes, but it wasn't as wild as mine. I don't give a fuck who you are, you don't fucking disrespect Karina, especially Infront of me, and expect me to let you off. Drake shot Ryan a disappointing look and ran off after her. Ryan looked at me and his eyes screwed up. His face in complete discomfort as his groans get louder. He clutched his head and blood started to drip from his ears. He was in so much pain, he could not generate any sound.

"Damien STOP!" He screeched and he fell to the floor. But I couldn't stop, not until I was satisfied with his punishment. The blood doubled in quantity on the floor as he writhed in pain lashing his head back and forth. His shrieks were Endless. I was satisfied in his punishment, and he shrieked in shock when the infernal ringing of his brain had stopped. I walked over to him. He curled into a ball afraid I was going to hurt him. I wasn't Going too, but I smiled anyway. I crouched down next to him ad placed my hand on his ear. I had now realised I had accidentally burst his eardrum with the immense pressure of power. I healed his injury by touching it following in karina's techniques. He shrieked in pain as I corrected the damage, and his face darkened towards me, but I could feel the fear radiating off him as he moved backwards. The feeling of Darkness was still fresh within me, but I felt more in control of it. I could still feel the light, but the darkness, it was a dominant feeling, it easily overthrew whatever good I felt. It scared me a little, that the feeling of good and light was so easily overthrown by the evil of Dark. But still, I liked it.

"Next time you have a problem with her, use your words, and nice ones." I whisper.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?! It was water! I'm her fucking brother!" He squeeled. I smiled.

"I don't give a fuck if you're her brother! Go and apologize, because the only reason she came was because of you, to support you. The reason she won't tell you that is because you are her brother, but to me you're nothing so I will tell you. And not with words. Don't ever disrespect her like that again. Do you understand me?" He looked at me with pure fear shaking with a tight jaw. His knuckles were white but he wouldn't dare swing. His nod was slight, but it was enough.

"Good." My attention then shifted around the room making sure there was no witnesses.

"Are we going to mention this to anyone?" I looked at him. He simply shook his head and I got up and left the dining room. Now going after Karina.

-------------------------

I walked down the hall, towards my room hoping that's where she went. i couldn't help but Think about what I had just done. I wasn't happy about it, yet I was glad knowing that he would never do that again.

"DAMIEN?!" I hear. I stop and turn around and see a familiar man standing there with his eyes wide and jaw open.

"Jamie!?" I shouted. I started walking towards him, and as I got closer I could see his large pearl white eyes blinking his long blonde eyelashes. He ran his hand through his short blonde hair and locked eyes with me. His tiny rosy lips outstretched, smiling, revealing his dimples on his tight jaw. Jamie was a strong man, he had massive arms and a tight set of abs that he was immensely proud of and he showed off to all the girls when we would sneak out together. My only childhood friend that bothered to actually get to know me. We had been through so much shit together it made us so close. He wasn't so good at Sorcery so he made up for it with combat. He is like the brother I always wanted.

"I heard you were back so I came here to see it was true!" He punched me in my stomach and I keeled over groaning. "Why didn't you take me with you to Valtor?!" He said crossing his arms. We locked eyes for a moment, facing off like lions. We then gave in and embraced each other closely. I could tell he was shaking, and he held on tight. "They told me you were dead..." he sniffled. "I should've been there with you. I'm so sorry Damien." He said his tears on my shoulders but his voice never waivered. Like I said, a strong man, the strongest I ever knew, in every way possible.

"Don't be sorry." I pushed him back to see his face. "Everything that's happened, I'm glad it did." I smiled and looked down thinking of Karina. I hear Jamie chuckle and cross his arms.

"Ahhh yes I heard. Some of the guards at the port were saying the princess protected you. And then some others were saying that you took her hand and she didn't blow you to pieces. I got a look at her when she went to your room." He winks at me. "She has The Devil's beauty that one. Too bad she is a Nightslayer right?" He said.

"I don't care what she is..I love her no matter what." I say completely serious. Jamie looks confused and places his palm on my forehead.

"Are you sick? Did they put something in your food over there?" I throw off his hand and he laughs. "So is it true?" He ask putting his hand in his pocket. "Are you marrying her?" He asks with slight sarcasm.

"Yes." I say. He didn't look happy but he forced a smile. it was Because he hadn't been there, because he has never met them. He doesn't know, how amazing they are. How amazing she is.

"So I guess we are both getting married." He says and my attentions is completely snatched.

"What?!" I say smiling, "who is the lucky girl?" I say with complete sarcasm. He looks slightly confused as his eyebrow goes inwards.

"She didn't tell you. Your parents asked me when they got back...I'm marrying Ashley."

———————————-

"I wasn't told anything." I say. Inside the Darkness was swirling and dancing on my fingertips.

"When they told everyone you were dead, they needed a king, Ashley was next in line and well, I was the only one who they really trusted." It made sense, but still, I shouldn't be mad, right?

"Why wasn't I told when I got back?" I ask gritting my teeth.

"I haven't proposed to her yet so she doesn't even know herself, your parents just gave me permission. But I will, soon. Hey you got an tips for me?" He winks and rubs his hands together.

"You want me to help you propose to my sister?" Sarcasm was dripping from my tongue. He was clueless but eventually got it.

"Yeah, probably not." He chuckled nervously.

"Look I have to go, but come by later alright. I want you to meet Karina." I say starting to walk off.

"Yeah I'll be by soon." He said. I turned and jogged back to my room.

———————————

I opened the door revealing Ryan, Drake and Karina all near the painting on my wall. Drake looked confused, and Ryan's gaze fell to the floor, still traumatised by before. I looked to Karina and her face was confused but sincere. Something was wrong. If he had done something to her, today I would burn his body.

"What's wrong Karina?" I ask, she doesn't say anything she just stares at me. "Karina!?" I say I'm getting worried now. I start to walk towards her and Drake stands in front of her.

"For gods sake enough with this Alpha male bullshit and let me ask him!" Karina shouts and pushes her way out from Drake. She huffs and runs over to me shutting the door. She grabs my hand and takes me over to the painting.

"Damien where did you get this?" She ask pointing to the painting.

"Why ?" I ask.

"Answer the damn question." Drake says now his arrow was out pointing directly at me.

"Karina what's going on?" I whisper to her and grip my sword.

"Drake put it away!" Karina shrieks stepping infront of me. I try to move her but Drake started to loosen his grip on the string as I touched her.

"Karina Move!" He shouts menacingly.

"Drake trust me don't!" She shouts.

"I trust you I don't trust him anymore! There is too much SHIT he is not telling us and it's going to get us all killed!!" He shouts.

"What are you talking about!?" I shout my eyes darken. Karina spins round to me and points at the painting.

"Damien look at the painting, it's of the cave that we went too remember? How do you have a painting of Valtor?" She asks her voice shaky.

"The painting! Seriously! It was in hidden store cupboard I found when I was a child. I really liked it so I wanted it in my room! I didn't know what it was it was just nice!" I shouted.

"Are you fucking serious? You expect me to believe you just FOUND IT?!" He said. "Then whose is it?!" He said arching the string further.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know?!" I shout. I grab Karina and throw her towards Ryan who locks her in his arms so she doesn't get in the middle.

"You're not telling us something and I want to know what it is?!" Suddenly the door flies open revealing Jamie. I snatch the arrow snapping it in half and I turn around to a loud thud to see Drake on the floor. Jamie was on top as he had harshly tackled him to the floor and then pinning him there with his knife to Drakes throat.
