"How the f+ck did you know my second name is Killa?" He muttered, his eyes already burning like a furnace.
It's like he was struck by lightning.
Nothing is as private as his personal life in this castle.
Despite the fact that he's Slade Luther, no one suspected that he's from the rich 'Luther' family because he made sure he never looked like it.
Even his own father doesn't know him as Killa cos it was Stella his mother who calls him that whenever they're together.
So how??
"I just asked a question...how?" He demanded again, and Twilight's heart slammed like stone against her ribcage.
It's his voice. It's Slade for real.
How come he's alive?
Wasn't he stabbed twenty times without his ring? Did they not throw him into the mud? How is he back?
She stood fast, her eyes still on his demanding ones as she took a step back, gulping sneakily before turning around at once.
She began running out of the garden as fast as she could, but she didn't last one minute before she stumbled on a stunt and fell.
Before she could stand, Slade was already in front of her, towering above her like a giant.
"Go away!" She shouted terrifically.
She picked a stone from the ground, throwing it at him as she shifted back on her butt.
The stone hit Slade's chest and bounced away.
"Stay back!!" She yelled, scooping wet sand from the ground with her shaky hand.
She poured it on him, but he kept coming closer, and she kept shifting back with her butt, crude fear filling her eyes.
"Go away!!!" She cried again till her back met with a tree and she couldn't move anymore.
Slade could hear her pounding heart in his ears as he squatted in front of her slowly... like the devil.
"How did you know I bear Killa?"
"I...I just...I just know" she stuttered, holding her breaths.
"Where the hell is my ring?" He asked.
"I...I can't give you that" she replied.
"Don't be silly and hand it over before I kill you here and bury your body where no one will find it" he said.
"You...you won't kill me" she stuttered again, getting bolder suddenly.
"How sure are you?" He tilted his head aside with that noxious smile of his.
"If you wanted to kill me, you'd have done it since long ago" she replied, and she saw his eyes switch to dark in a whim.
His hand grabbed her throat, bringing her to her feet like that and slamming her back on the tree.
Twilight's body shook, and her eyes began turning as his hand tightened around her neck.
"Killing me and dumping my body in the mud is the stupidest thing you've ever done. Go write that down in a diary" he said.
"Killing you isn't enough to pay for everything you did to me" she replied with difficulty as streaks appeared in her eyes.
"List them" he replied interestingly.
"Touching me inappropriately in the restroom, killing Tanya, and taking my virginity like an animal" she counted.
"And why did you suddenly show up in my attic that night to give me your delicious p+$$y?" He demanded.
"Cos my papa told me to give you all you want. You must have threatened him cos we're poor" she replied, and he let go of her neck.
Twilight staggered, holding her neck and coughing out.
"Did you dim it fit to ask your insane father why he told you that?" He said.
"My father isn't insane" she replied, and he let out a smirk.
"If you can still defend him like this in three months time, I'll make you the richest girl in this hick town" he said and started leaving.
Twilight swallowed, standing straight, but then he suddenly turned back.
"Get my ring ready tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to f+ck the location out of you till remember nothing but my c+ck and c+m" he said in the sluttiest tone ever before finally exiting the garden.
Twilight threw her weight back on the bench and released the breaths she has been holding.
It's obvious now...
Slade Killa Luther can't be killed.
Why does her dream guy have to be that monster?
The craziest part is that he's not even aware that he appears in her dreams.
And his second name is Killa? She only randomly picked a name for her dream guy and it turned out to be Slade's second name?
Killa is completely different too from this evil Slade.
Why is everything wanting to make her head blow up?
She's not understanding a thing, and it's rummaging her brain so much.
She pushed a long breath out of her lungs and suddenly saw a fast movement behind the flowers.
She paused and studied it for a while, then she turned on her phone to see the time is past 12 midnight already.
She quickly went behind the tree to hide.
*
LORRAINE'S OFFICE*
Tamlin is still inside, sitting on a chair while Lorraine paced around.
Lord Vann is inside too. He joined them after the meeting with the sponsors got over an hour ago.
"You should have told me" Lord Vann suddenly said.
"Exactly what I'm saying!" Lorraine shouted.
"As if you both would have allowed me to kill him if I told you. The other time when he was sent to coma, we should have killed him from there but you refused!" Tamlin shouted.
"Because I know what I'm doing! Do you know what's gonna happen to this school now that he's gone?" Lord Vann glared.
"I don't give a damn! He killed Isobel and started messing with Twilight too. Did you think I'd just stand and watch?" Tamlin ranted.
"Isobel, Isobel Isobel!! When are you going to stop screaming her name around like an idiot!" Lorraine started walking to him, but Vann blocked her.
"The elixir he stole from you, where did you get it from?" He asked calmly.
"Why?" She folded her arms.
"Because it's a big part of the reason students go missing every month" he replied.
"What!... I saw the advertisement at an herbal shop two years ago and placed an order for it. It came this year" she explained.
"Give me the shop address" Vann replied, and Lorraine described it clearly.
Vann left the office afterwards, and Lorraine sat back.
Tamlin rolled eyes and started walking out...
"You can bring Isobel back" Lorraine suddenly said, and he stopped, turning back slowly.
"Don't try to sweet-talk me, she has been dead for seven years" he said, and Lorraine stood.
"It doesn't matter, I know you didn't bury her. Her body is frozen in an ice bed somewhere in your room" she said, and he went silent.
"You only have to get Slade's ring to her finger, and she'll wake up. But the thing is...Slade himself is the one who must insert it, and another thing is that...after using the ring to wake her, Slade will lose one year from his remaining years alive. But too bad for you, you killed him" she said.
"How do you know all these?" Tamlin asked.
"Maybe your mother knows more than you think" Lorraine shrugged, and Tamlin scoffed.
"He's dead, and even if he's not dead, Twilight is enough for me so there's no reason to wake Isobel with his stupid ring. And you better not summon Twilight for questioning tomorrow cos I won't allow her to come" he said and finally left.
Lorraine sat back, banging her fist on the table.
*
ATTIC*
Slade arrived shortly and did the first thing he could think of.
He got tequila and black coffee and mixed the two by his window, drinking it to calm down, but the calmness is not coming.
Angrily, he crashed the mug on the ground, and the dilution spilled everywhere.
Onyx the cat began licking it loudly, and Slade walked past it, standing in the middle of the dark room.
This is the second emotion he'd be feeling tonight. First was shock when she called him Killa in the garden, and he just felt anger by breaking the mug on the ground.
He felt the two because of her, and it's dangerous. What's going on?
Is it because she's still alive? Is it because he's taking his time with her?
He should retrieve the ring tomorrow and kill her once and for all.
Maybe all these useless emotions will disappear to hell.
He gritted his jaws and walked to the piano.
He sat in front of it and began playing, but the image of how he f+çked her on this same piano filled his head.
How she was crying and begging him, and how he was going deeper. How her tight sweet p+$$y was hugging his c+ck so good, and how her blood painted the piano keys.
He stopped playing and stood, but then he got another flashback to how she rubbed his eyebrows in the garden earlier, and how it felt so good.
He gritted his jaws again, and his eyes darted to his wrist where the hairband still sat.
Can all the stupid thoughts about her just disappear? Can she just leave his head already?
He shut his eyes and walked to the wall, slamming his head on it violently.
His forehead bled so much, and the blood ran down his face in showers.
He's not with his ring, so it didn't heal, and he felt the pains which made him smile sickly.
Tomorrow, she'll be dead.
*
INFIRMARY, DAYBREAK*
Ruslan, Posey and Ren spent their night here with Imogen who's still unconscious.
While Posey and Ren slept off soundly on chairs, Ruslan couldn't.
His eyes are on Imogen as he sat beside her, still feeling guilty.
Dr. Kali sat not far from him, watching him attentively.
"Too bad, you fell in love with the wrong person" She suddenly spoke.
"What would you know?" Ruslan rudely said.
"I know you're not meant for each other, and no matter what you do, she'd never see you." Dr. Kali replied.
"She kissed me two times already, so what other evidence do I need that she loves me?" Ruslan replied, and Dr. Kali sighed.
"You're more dense than I thought" she said, and a cough suddenly escaped Imogen's mouth.
They both turned to see her eyes open, and Ruslan spranged up.
"Imogen!"
That woke Posey and Ren, and they rushed to the bedside at Imogen sat up.
"How long was I out for?" She asked.
"Roughly 18 hours" Posey replied, opening the small container and giving her a pill.
"Slade is cruel" Imogen muttered as she got down from the bed.
"He's dead, luckily" Ruslan said, and her eyes widened.
"What did you just say?"
"He's... really dead. Tamlin killed him" Ren added.
"No! No" Imogen pushed them out of the way and ran all out of the infirmary.
"Imogen!!" They all rushed after her.
Dr. Kali stood and shut the door softly.
"Foolish kids" she muttered, entering her bedroom.
*
8AM, GARDEN*
Twilight woke up to Tamlin's eyes on herself, and she quickly sat up on the bench.
"When did you get here?" She asked.
"Daybreak, and why did you spend the night here?" He replied.
"Molly and her gang were ready to murder me at the tower last night, and you didn't come back" she said.
"I'm sorry, mother was being a bîtch. She's behind the fake posts" he apologized.
"It's ok, not your fault" she said.
"Come with me, I'll escort you to your tower" he offered his hand, and she took it.
They left the garden together, and surprisingly, students are all-over the castle, wearing their sports uniform.
It's a black-coloured shirt and shorts for boys, then short pleated skirt for girls.
"It's the sports day. First Saturday of every month" he explained
"Oh..." She replied, holding his hand tighter.
Students kept looking at her, but thanks to Tamlin's presence, they couldn't talk.
Twilight was already counting the remaining seconds to get to the tower when Imogen showed up.
She opened her hand, revealing sand which she poured on Tamlin's face.
Some of the sand entered his eyes, so he couldn't open.
"Damn it! Imo!" He yelled with closed eyes.
"Tamlin" Twilight held him steady.
"Mother said you both killed him, so await my payback cos I'm killing you both" Imogen spat, crying for real.
Tamlin couldn't speak as he's still struggling with his eyes.
"F+ck you two!!" Imogen yelled and left like the wind.
"Tamlin are you ok?" Twilight asked, and he bent to her height, so she peered his eyes and blew away the stones.
"Yeah I'm fine now" he replied afterwards, taking her hand again and leading her to the tower.
Most students are already at the field, so the tower is not very full.
They met Molly and her gang on top of the stairs, but Molly stepped aside immediately she saw Tamlin.
They finally got to her room where Echo, Rihannon and Damien are already waiting.
"Thanks for bringing her" Rihannon said.
"Are you ok?" Echo asked, checking Twilight out.
"Yeah...I'm fine" Twilight nodded.
"Is Slade really dead?" Damien asked.
"Yes" Tamlin said.
"No" Twilight said.
"What do you mean?" Tamlin faced her.
"He came to the garden last night." Twilight replied, and the shock that appeared on Tamlin's face afterwards was priceless.
Without another word, he rushed out of the room.
"He didn't hurt you, right?" Echo asked.
"No...at all" Twilight lied.
"Bold of Tamlin to really think he can kill a monster" Damien scoffed.
"You should go dress up, let's go to the field" Rihannon said, handing Twilight her wrapped sports uniform.
"I don't want to go" Twilight replied.
"Babe you'll go. It's a course on it's own, so not showing up means you'll have to redo it alone, go dress up" Echo said.
Reluctantly, Twilight had her bath and dressed up, leaving the tower with them.
*
PSYCHOLOGY DEPT*
Some representative students could be seen pasting obituaries for Slade on the walls already.
Though none of the obituaries have his picture since his clear picture is so hard to get.
They only wrote RIP PROFESSOR SLADE LUTHER.
As they pasted, more and more students gathered around to watch.
* Tamlin really killed him?
* Sounds like a prank.
That statement was followed by the paving of way by some students.
The students in front wondered what's going on at first, but then, they began shifting too till there's enough space, and Slade came forward.
He's holding so many of the obituary papers as he straightforwardly walked to the wall and began pasting too like a freak.
"Who printed this shit? Should have used a bigger paper" he said casually as he pasted.
* Argh!!!!
* F+ck! He's not dead?
* Oh my gawd!
The students clustered themselves in one part of the hallway, hugging and holding each other in fear.
The ones pasting the obituaries dropped the papers and almost ran away.
"Pick them up and resume pasting." Slade ordered icily, and they quickly picked the papers.
They began pasting with him, their hands shaking.
"It's true?" Tamlin's voice said as he entered the circle.
"What did I tell you last time? Stab me in the neck if you really want me to stay dead for at least two days" Slade replied.
"Slade!" Imogen rushed into the circle too, shedding tears of joy when she saw him.
Ruslan bit his tongue, wishing he hadn't come back.
"What the hell is he? How many times is he gonna come back from the dead?" Ren muttered.
"Tell me about it" Posey whispered.
Tamlin rushed out of the place immediately.
Slade continued pasting the obituaries anyways.
The crowd thinned, but Imogen never left till Uriel arrived.
"Why are you pasting your own obituary?" He asked.
"Cos I like them" Slade replied, pasting the sixth one.
"Stop it, please... It's scaring the students" Uriel whispered.
"Even better" Slade replied, and Uriel sighed.
"You're a buzz kill" Slade said, finally dropping the rest of the papers.
"What's hairband doing on your wrist? This is the second time I'll be seeing it" Uriel asked as they walked down the corridor together.
"I like it" Slade replied plainly.
"Today is her deathday, right?" Uriel asked.
"Unfailingly" Slade replied.
From the balcony of Lorraine's office, she's watching him with a glad smile and a pool of wetness between her legs.
"Knew it, legends never die" she smiled.
*
TAMLIN'S ROOM*
True to Lorraine's words, there's an ice bed in the adjoining room, and Isobel's body has been freezing inside it since she died.
Tamlin had refused her burial.
He's in the room now, staring at the ice bed with uncertainty in his eyes.
He's starting to think about Lorraine's words...bringing her back with the ring.
But no matter how much he thinks about it, it's not possible.
Twilight is here now, right?
Isobel is the past, and also... Slade would never agree to do it, so it's a dead end.
He turned around at once and left the room, only to meet Imogen in the main room.
"Your Slade is back, what else?" he said nonchalantly, walking past her to his bed.
"Hi" a different voice said, and he halted abruptly, turning around to see a different face.
Aimee.
"Bye" she breathed, giving him a hard blow in the gut.
Tamlin passed out, and she swept her hair back with her palm before dragging his body out of the room.
*
FIELD*
The screams of the cheerleading team filled the field as they paraded in groups.
It's better than Twilight expected, and it helped close away the thought of what happened last night. The thought of Slade.
Slade's ring is intact inside her hair. She had inserted it there since it's the only place that'd accommodate it securely.
As she sang and danced with the cheerleaders, she searched the field with her eyes but couldn't find Tamlin.
The games will start in thirty minutes, so maybe he's gonna arrive before then, but the goosebumps on her skin right now is unshakeable.
She just knows Slade is somewhere in this field, staring at her.
She looked around, but no sign of Slade. He must be hiding really well.
"Glennville barbies!!!" Rihannon screamed the cheerleading chorus beside her, and that made her concentrate back.
"The cliques!!" She screamed along with Echo, and they all grinned as they moved down the field.
Molly and her gang are part of the cheer, and Molly won't stop giving her the evil eye.
Imogen and Posey are nowhere to be found in the field too, but they're sure still coming cos the field is still scanty.
Ren, Ruslan and Damien are among the players on the field who're preparing to play basketball as more students poured in from almost every angle.
Echo's phone suddenly buzzed, and when she checked to see a text from Ruslan, she couldn't overlook.
"I'll be right back, need to use the washroom" she said.
"I'll follow you" Twilight offered.
"No need, I'll be fast" Echo smiled and left.
Twilight began feeling awkward again cos Rihannon left the parade already, she's currently with Damien in the middle of the field.
Also, she could still feel Slade's eyes on herself, and she couldn't help but remember his words last night in the garden.
"I'LL F+CK THE LOCATION OUT OF YOU TILL ALL YOU CAN REMEMBER IS MY C+CK AND C+M"
She gulped, wishing Tamlin would just come and keep her company, but it didn't happen.
Molly and her gang suddenly began coming towards her, and she was about to rush off when Echo came back.
"Thank gawd" she breathed out
"Come with me" Echo took her hand, leading her out of the field.
Molly rolled eyes, folding her arms.
*
Twilight kept following Echo, and it's unusually silent.
They're far from the castle already, heading towards the woods
Echo is the one leading the way while Twilight followed.
"Where are we going?" She curiously asked.
"It's a secret" Echo replied, walking faster.
"What secret?" Twilight asked, while studying every detail in Echo's strange movements.
She couldn't help but feel she's different.
Echo didn't reply, she just kept leading her till they walked for over ten minutes, deeper into the woods.
Twilight stopped when they suddenly arrived at a cemetery in the middle of the woods..
This is definitely where they bury dead students.
"I'm not following you anymore till you tell me what exactly is going on" she said.
Echo stopped too, but she didn't turn. She just stood there.
Twilight looked at her backside once again, and she froze.
"You're not Echo" she said.
Echo turned around with a scowl, her face changed to Aimee already.
"Smarter than I expected" she said
"Who are you to lure me here with Echo's face? What do you want?" Twilight demanded.
Without replying, Aimee stomped to her and attempted to grab her by the neck, but Twilight was fast to change position.
Aimee was caught off guard when Twilight grabbed her hand and crossed it over her shoulder, flipping her easily.
Aimee landed heavily on the ground, and Twilight's eyes widened.
Did she just...did that?
Where did the energy come from?
She was still looking so shocked when Aimee stood to her feet, giving her a scoff.
"You had s+x with Slade? That's faster than I thought" she said.
"What do you want from me?" Twilight shifted back.
"There was a couple, Stella and Timothy..." Aimee started.
"One night during a drive down the road at night, an argument happened in the car, and pregnant Stella got down angrily. She entered the forest and saw a herbal doctor in the middle of a ritual. As a result of that, the triplets in her womb got cursed differently. Two of them got cursed with a lifetime of emptiness and pain, but the third one got the cruelest curse, and his curse won't be lifted till he kills his human antidote. The antidote is a moon slave, created by the herbal doctor" Aimee said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Twilight asked.
"I dunno, but our conversation is over, I'm going to crush every bone in your body for killing my brother" Aimee glared, and her eyes widened.
"You're... you're Slade's sister?"
"He only shared his physical energy with you, not the ring energy, so get ready...it's gonna hurt" Aimee replied, glaring her eyes at Twilight.
A sudden stomach ache brought Twilight to her knees immediately, and a howling wind began blowing so hard that it lifted all the dried leaves on the ground to the air.
The atmosphere changed from clear to cool, and thunder flashed across the sky as lightening boomed too.
Twilight felt the bones in her body crushing one by one, and the pain is more than anything she has ever felt
"Stop!! Urghh!!!! Arggghhhhhhh!!!!!"
Her screams were so loud that the wind carried it around the whole forest, and Aimee even glared more.
Twilight began bleeding from the nose, and her eyes almost popped out as the pains circulated again.
Another earsplitting scream escaped her lungs, and Aimee was about to intensity the pains when a new entity entered the cemetery.
Slade!
Without his ring, the wind nearly carried him, but he held still till he got to Twilight.
The ring was glittering inside her hair, so he dived his fingers into the locks and took it.
He inserted the ring back into his finger and faced Aimee so fast
His eyes flashed dark-gold, and the wind stopped Instantly.
Aimee fell to the ground, and Uriel rushed over.
"This is the right time" He told Slade breathlessly.
"Right..." Aimee stood.
"Kill her and stop wasting time. I have someone else to punish" she said.
Slade got a dagger out of his pocket and turned to Twilight who's already lying on the ground with her right side, he walked slowly to her spot.
He squatted beside her and moved her hair away from her face with his fingers. Her eyes are open, but she couldn't move.
"Pl...ease... Don't kill me" she begged weakly, her eyes already so wet.
Slade brandished the dagger in front of her readily, and she managed to stretch her shaky hand forward, holding his right leg.
"I beg you... Killa please" she whispered, and that single sentence made his eyes twitch.
He felt his palm slipping away from the dagger as he eyes with her.
"On one condition" his voice dropped.
"Slade!" Aimee snapped.
Twilight tried to nod at Slade, but she couldn't.
Aimee really did her bad.
"You'll rub on my brows whenever I want it, and stay the f+ck away from Tamlin" Slade said.
Twilight blinked, meaning YES.
She'd say yes to anything at this point.
"Good" Slade growled, dropping the dagger and picking her up in his arms.
She moaned painfully, and that went straight to his d+ck.
Ow... f+ck.
"You're not doing this, Slade" Aimee said through her teeth.
"Think about the future" Uriel added.
"The future can go to hell" Slade replied.
TBC.
