Chapter 281 - An Unlikely Alliance - II
Adrian's face turned to her, "What?"
Amula nodded. She took a deep breath to talk better. "I know from my institutions that a young Queen can heal the pain of the death of a mate. She has done it before and she can do it now. If you die your mate will be okay."
Adrian did not move from his spot and Amula knew that he was not yet convinced. " Why would I do something that would have me killed in the end? I want to live with my mate, not her to live without me."
Amula closed her eyes. Why was it that none of them could see the bigger picture? Someone had to die in order to stop all of his. "Listen to me, do you want to live in a world where there are people like him? Peoples can strangle you without touching you? Do you even understand what kind of power it gives to them? That power is not to be given to anyone, not even to witches." Amula said in one go making herself brave enough to do it. She had to make sacrifices and it started here by ignoring the sizzling burn off her skin..
Adrian shook his head. "I want to live with Zara. I want to have a life with her. I have never been with her truly."
And that was the truth. Adrian had never been with Zara in a complete sense. They were given duties. Zara had been working in Adeline's hole since the beginning of the plan and Adrian had been a follower of Nathaniel making them have a distance in between that none of them could cross without creating suspicions.
Amula's heart ached for the man but it is because he had made the choices that had landed him and his female there and to save everything from what was about to happen she was not scared of throwing it in the Vampire's face.
"Adrian if you had not decided to follow a deranged man on the conquest of the lost throne, you would not be putting yourself and your made in such a situation where one of you could die." She said in a hoarse voice. "I think by now both of us are unaware that if need be that man will kill you and your mate to gain The upper hand in the situation." She shook her head because that was completely true.
Adrian did not reply.
"You and I both know the truth. If it came to that man, he has no loyalties to anyone whatsoever. Even as his most loyal following he does not think twice before punishing you near death!" She spat as the adrenaline ran in her blood. Amula was on a different high.
Adrian's eyes hardened. "Using that tone with me witch? What makes you think I will ever let you go?"
Amula scoffed. "Because I am the only option here that will actually go out and make sure that change comes. I need to talk to someone other than the people here and make sure that I am being heard and amongst us two, I am the only one that can do that!"
Because if Adrian was given the chance now she was sure as hell that he would mess it up.
Adrian tsked and looked away. "If I do untie you and you manage to run away Nathaniel will kill me right away."
That he would and Amula had no doubt in that.
She still shook her head. "Then find inside someone that I can kill and get out of here after." Amula told him. "Send someone and untie me. If the man is dead, no one will know anything."
Adrian still looked hesistant in all of this and that only made Amula hiss. "One of us has to do this. If you can do this then great go out and do it!"
He gulped and stood up walking out without a word. Amula closed her eyes and sigh. She gasped at the sudden gust of wind the room and then at the open door. She felt the ropes fall from her dress and then grasped what she felt in her hands.
A hilt of a knife.
"Hmm . . mm. . Oh!" A man entered the cottage and she gripped the handle tighter. He grinned at her and she could understand the intentions and his mind.
She knew what he was going to do to her had her hands still be bounded by the rope. The Vampire would have never shown mercy and would have actually drained her dry.
"Look at that, little witch," he sneered as he neared her. "You—" she raised her hand high in the air before plunging the knife in his neck.
That's when she realised that it was not just a knif made of silver but of wood. Taking it out of his neck, Amula plunged in his heart again effectively killing the vampire.
Amula got up from the chair in a hurry and held his neck. She tried to hold onto his weight by bringing her legs on either side of him and slowly put him down on the ground not making any noise while doing so.
Once done, she huffed and moved out of the cottage. Her beloved cottage that she was leaving behind because of the man that had conquered it.
She knew the law of the land and she knew very well which we had to go in order to teleport safely. This was something that she had done a thousand times before.
Amula walked slowly into the direction of the water flowing. The water flowing will cover any kind of energy that her transportation would giev into the air.
Gripping the Amulet in around her neck she closed her eyes once she reached the same spot and held her breath before reciting the spell.
She breathed out and opened her eyes. There, it stood in front of her. Amula smiled after a long time.
The palace of the Rivera family.
