Twilight turned to dust, blowing away with the wind.
Slade's fist unfolded, and a tiny line of sweat climbed down his temple, running over his jaw before dropping on the ground.
"Light" he muttered, running after the wind and accumulating some of the dust in his palm.
He opened the palm, but there's no dust in there.
He raised his head to look ahead, but there's no dust anymore too, and the wind has stopped.
Aimee, Elijah and the rest are nowhere to be found, and that was when it dawned on him...
It's an illusion. An illusion created by his head.
His environment is rocky and so f+çking dark except for the crescent moon that's barely peeking out from under the cloud, and there are black flames running everywhere.
He's currently trapped in his own head, and he needs out.
"Slade!"
He heard Elijah's voice, but he's not even seeing Elijah when he turned around.
"Slade?" Elijah's voice came again, and he made another turn.
No Elijah in sight.
He shut his eyes, closing everything out of his mind except one thing... Twilight.
He concentrated on her, her voice, her body, her touch.
His brows creased after a minute, and he opened his eyes to find himself back in front of the tower.
Elijah is holding his shoulders, calling his name.
"You okay? You were coming for Aimee with the punch, then you suddenly stopped and spaced out" Elijah said.
Slade looked around, confirming that Twilight is not out, then he faced Elijah.
"Where the hell is Aimee?"
"She left after you spaced out, just leave her" Elijah replied.
"I'm gonna hunt her down" Slade said before starting to return into the tower.
"Why? Cos she wounded Twilight? Are you falling for your slave like I predicted?" Elijah said blurted.
"May you and your not-so-needed prediction burn in the rotten pit of hell" Slade replied without looking back, finally entering the tower.
The students began returning to their towers too,, and Elijah smiled, licking his lips.
He turned to Rihannon who's still carrying unconscious Damien, and he squatted to take him from her.
"Don't touch him!" She snarled.
"He needs proper treatment and tonic to replenish his lost blood and come back to shape before the end of today" Elijah replied and forcefully took Damien from her.
He threw the unconscious guy on his shoulder and began taking him to the infirmary.
Rihannon followed, wiping her tears.
*
ATTIC*
Twilight was starting to get impatient, so she took the jacket away from her knees and stood, but Slade instantly came in.
He stood by the door at first, watching her through his lashes.
"Is Damien ok?" She asked worriedly, the blood from her bleeding knees riding down her legs.
Slade walked fast to her without warning, and when he trapped her in a breath-consuming hug, she was speechless.
"Kils?" She gasped, unable to breath.
"Killa" her voice struggled with her breaths, and she gasped again, knowing he's not ready to let go.
She stayed still, raising her arms to his back too.
Just when she was about to hug him back, he broke the hug, and she dragged in a long breathe.
"Is Damien ok?" She asked again..
"Asking about the wellbeing of another male is cancerous" he replied primally.
"He's my best friend" she replied defensively, and he pressed her shoulder down, making her sit back in bed.
He inserted his ring into her finger, healing her knees with it.
She stood to her feet immediately.
"I need to go see Damien"
"You will not leave till I say you can" he replied.
"But Damien is not just anyone, and I'm...
She suddenly held her chest, feeling dizzy.
"Light?" He slid his arm on her waist, and she looked up slowly.
"I feel like... sleeping" she cooed sleepily, her head falling on his chest as she actually slept off.
Slade looked down at her, smirking.
"Aimee" he muttered, bringing her to bed and laying her down.
That was when he noticed the short PJs she's wearing.
She actually wore this out?
He covered her with the duvet, frowning as he did.
Her cheek is still red from the slap. Aimee's slap energy is bad, which is why she's sleepy like this.
He stood from the bed and changed into dry clothes, topping it with a leather jacket before getting his phone.
The first thing he saw was the picture she sent to his Whatsapp last night.
If he saw it last night, he'd probably go back to her room and fûck her brutally against the wall without minding her period, but he was probably in the tub when she sent it.
He had spent the night in the tub cos of the unbearable heat that happened.
He almost caught fire last night, and it was hellish.
He went to his piano and dipped his hand under, bringing out a small manual which he opened.
It contains the rules, and everything that's gonna happen if he takes too much time to kill his moonslave.
First one is Hellish Heat which he experienced last night, and the second one is Dark Illusions which he experienced this morning.
He shut the book and returned it, then he glanced back at Twilight who's sleeping soundlessly on his bed.
He stared freakishly at her, deeply for over five minutes before carrying her from the bed.
He took her out of the attic.
*
INFIRMARY*
"When is he gonna wake up?" Rihannon asked, following Elijah around like a tail.
He has finished attending to Damien since some minutes ago, but he's still unconscious.
"This is the thirtieth time you asked that question." Elijah replied, taking a sip from his teacup.
"Mm, refreshing" he relished.
Rihannon took the cup from him and smashed it, pushing him down roughly to the couch.
"Wake him now!" She commanded, and he smiled.
"Candidly, you look prettier up close" He said, and Rihannon raised a punch to his face.
Before she could deliver it, Damien's voice came...
"Why am I here?"
Rihannon's eyes widened, and she turned around to see him sitting up in bed already.
"Damien!" She ran to sit beside him, hugging him.
"I'm fine," he replied with a groan, breaking the hug to get down from the bed.
"Why am I here with this motherfûcker?" He asked, giving Elijah contemptuous looks.
"There's no other place to take you to. I'd have taken you to the recuperation hall to rest, but the key isn't easy to get cos only the President uses the hall" she explained.
"Let's get outta here" Damien took her hand.
"Shouldn't you thank me for saving your life, Damien?" Elijah said, knowingly to provoke him.
"Thank you? I almost died in the hut man! Ion care if you healed the wounds with the ring, but you and that merciless lady are hellhounds. F+ck the two of you!" Damien gave him the middle finger.
Rihannon took a tonic from the table, and they left together.
Elijah bursted into a heavy laughter immediately, walking to the door to stare at them.
"Never knew this school would be this fun" he said.
But now that Damien is out of the list, who's the damn rival?
He was still pondering when he saw Slade's car driving out of the park.
Without waiting, he went to the park too, driving out after him.
*
URIEL'S ROOM*
Molly knew she wasn't in her bed immediately she woke up, so she looked around, and she saw Uriel sitting on a chair not far from her.
"You're awake" he said sleazily.
"Did you take me here? Your room?" She sat up, brushing her wavy hair back.
"Yeah. You passed out" he replied.
"Aww, you can be cute too. Too bad you're not my type" she replied.
"Same here" he replied, throwing her phone at her.
She caught it, but every Twilight's nude is gone when she unlocked it.
"The hell! Where did it go?" She gasped.
"I uninstalled your gallery, so I'm sure it's deleted" Uriel replied.
"You did what?" Molly came to him.
"Showing the pictures to my boss so he could fight for the slave is something I don't wanna witness. He's supposed to be killing her, not treating her like a princess" He replied.
"Do you think I care about your opinion? I want Prof Luther to kill Echo! You just ruined my plan!" Molly glared angrily.
"I'm sorry" Uriel muttered.
"Screw you!" Molly snapped, and her phone rang.
It's a call from her mother.
"Hey mom?" She picked, holding her forehead as she walked away from Uriel.
"Your cousin in Tenebrae just died of HBP this morning" Mrs. Fell told her.
Molly remembered the itch in her left eye last night and nodded.
"I was expecting it, happy deathday to her" she replied and hung up
"That was cold as f+ck" Uriel said.
"Don't talk to me, ok? Do not talk to me! I'll just focus on Lorraine for now" she glared at him again before leaving the room.
Uriel smiled slightly.
*
IMOGEN'S ROOM*
Echo and Posey are in bed, pressing their phones individually while Imogen is in front of the mirror, preparing to go with Lorraine to the hospital.
"So it was that Uriel guy who took Molly last night? I can't believe he did it easily" Posey said.
"Is he dating Molly?" Echo asked.
"Dating? Molly is arrogant so she can't date Prof Luther's errand boy" Imogen replied.
"Enough about her, I got my phone back anyways, and though the pictures got deleted, Twilight and that mad cat will still pay in another way" Echo said.
"Yes!!!" Imogen screamed, staring at her phone.
Echo and Posey rushed to her, and their eyes widened too when they saw her screen.
Lady Lorraine just sent samples of her dresses for the upcoming founder's day beauty contest, and they're all a bang.
"Call me Miss UOG." She said.
"Miss UOG!!!" Echo and Posey chorused.
"I won already, no arguments. Look at these peng dresses!" Imogen gushed.
"I'm just scared Molly will get more expensive ones" Posey said.
"What are you saying? Expensive is one thing, fashion is another. Wait till that day and see wonders" Imogen proudly said.
Ren came into the room immediately, fully dressed. His head is still plastered.
"Already?" Posey smiled, taking her bag.
"You both are going somewhere?" Imogen asked.
"Yeah. On a date. It's been a while" Posey replied.
"A date? With his plastered head?" Imogen jealously said.
"So? I'm not complaining" Posey replied, leaving with Ren.
Imogen took her phone and texted Ren immediately.
Imogen: I swear I'll kill Posey. Are you insane? Break up with her and focus on me. Are you planning on dumping me? Talk to me!
She clicked send and waited minutes, but he didn't reply.
Imogen took her bag too and left angrily.
Echo sighed out in bed, feeling the tension too.
"It better not be what I'm thinking" she said, picking up her phone.
Since Ruslan left for the hospital with Tamlin, he hasn't been texting her like before. He's not even asking for the nudes anymore.
She sent twenty-five texts already, but he didn't reply any.
"Hope he's fine. God protect him for me" she muttered, burying her face in the pillow.
*
LUTHER'S ISLAND*
The guards by the front porch of the main villa just bowed their heads without saying a thing as Slade waltzed past them into the villa.
The look in his eyes made his mood obvious, and he might just kill anyone who greets him right now.
No one is in the lavishly rich living room, so he proceeded to the patio where he met Timothy and Grandpa Cedric, and luckily for him, Aimee is there too.
The three stood at once, and when Aimee tried moving, she couldn't.
"Slade I swear to Luthers blood if you kill me because of her, then my spirit will haunt her and kill her too!" She said, standing still.
"What's going on?" Timothy said.
"Slade?" Grandpa Cedric called, but his eyes refused to calm till he got to Aimee and grabbed her by the throat, throwing her to the ground.
Aimee hit the marble with a killing force, and she rolled down fast.
"Aimee!!" Timothy ran after her.
Slade pulled Timothy back, going after her instead.
He pulled Aimee up and slammed her against the pillar, making her bleed as the glass pillar crashed.
"Slade!!!!" Grandpa Cedric yelled in horror.
"Stop!!" Timothy yelled too.
Slade took her to the second pillar and slammed her again, wounding her more.
One part of the patio collapsed, and Aimee bleed so much.
"You are my brother! If you chose her over me, then you're sick!" Aimee stubbornly said.
"Yes I'm sick, are you just knowing?" Slade replied, taking her to the third pillar.
He almost broke it with her head too, but Elijah sped in, taking her place.
Elijah's head broke that pillar, and Aimee swallowed as Slade let him go.
"Damn, bro" Elijah smiled.
"Elijah?" Grandpa Cedric said shockingly.
"Surprise surprise" Elijah waved.
"Take me to any level of torture you want, but I won't stop wanting the best for you! Even if you're the only one who gets to live a normal life among us then I'll sacrifice anything." Aimee spoke, coming closer.
"You can't fall for that slave, end her" she said.
"Did you forget a part of me that hates listening to people? Stop wasting your time, Aimee. And who's falling for who?" Slade replied stonily and walked out.
"I support him, which is why I'm trying my best to sniff the rival out. And do you all seriously still trust Greg? Geez!" Elijah said.
"Shut up, Elijah" Timothy said.
"Of course, which is why I'm taking my leave now, after my brother" Elijah replied dramatically, leaving after Slade.
He was giving grandpa Cedric the evil eye till he was out the door.
Aimee began wiping the blood on her face.
"You ok?" Timothy asked.
She didn't reply before leaving too.
"This is only just the start" Cedric said.
"Did I bring the slave to that school for nothing?" Timothy said frustratedly.
"What do you mean?" Cedric faced him.
"The admission letter she received, I sent it, using dead Jenna Parker's name to make it look ominous" Timothy said.
"Let's just wait, and call someone to repair these pillars." Grandpa Cedric said.
"Elijah is not the rival? Then who?" He further said.
"At this point, I just wanna die" Timothy said hopelessly.
*
CAVERN, KONTROL OFFICE*
"So it's set! We're raiding the school again tomorrow. Get your asses ready" the leader of staffs announced, staying in the middle so they'll all hear him.
Every staff member came out of their segment, surrounding him.
"Why do I feel like it's gonna be different this time?" One of them said.
"Of course it is. Our target is twenty students at once this time" The leader said.
"Did K say that?" Another one asked.
"Obviously" the leader said.
"I wish I could meet K face-to-face. He's undoubtedly the richest man in the world. We made trillions from Kontrol already, and it's only just the start" another one said.
"The one I'm eager to meet is our spy. How can the spy be the midnight killer and also Slade's rival. Three in one. I bet they don't know it's just one person tormenting them in that school." The leader said, grinning under his mask.
*
ST. GREGORY HOSPITAL, 5PM*
"Mom, can't we leave already? We've been here since daybreak and Tamlin still won't see us" Imogen complained.
"Ten more minutes, and we'll take our leave" Lorraine replied, her eyes calm.
"Better" Imogen replied.
Lord Vann came out of the ward immediately.
"You should leave, he's not interested" he said.
Lorraine stood and forced the door open, pushing Vann away.
She went in to meet Tamlin on his wheelchair already.
Ruslan is beside him, trying to make him eat some oatmeal, but Tamlin took the plate and threw it away.
"I said I'm not hungry" he muttered.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Lorraine said, dropping her bag.
"It's nothing to you, is it? You're not my mother and you're starting to act like it. The painful part is that Imogen is taking after you" Tamlin replied.
"Is this how it's gonna be now?" Lorraine scoffed.
"I respected you, but you took it for granted. I'd like you to leave me alone" Tamlin replied.
"Fine" Lorraine took her bag and faced Lord Vann.
"For your information, I'm making an announcement at 6. I'll be sweeping away some debris" she smiled, leaving the ward
"Get well soon, brother!" Imogen said and ran after her.
"Twilight won't visit?" Tamlin said, tears rolling out of his eye.
"Stop obsessing over her" Ruslan replied.
Tamlin smirked, wiping his tears with intentional strokes.
"Get me discharged tomorrow" he said.
Lord Vann nodded.
"I'll be right back" he said and exited.
*
UOG, RECUPERATING HALL*
The hall is right beside the second garden.
The ambience, solitude, and serenity made it the perfect spot for recuperation, and the sound of running water from the backyard is another factor.
Twilight is on the small bed in the large room, eyes closed, but the eyes suddenly opened. She got down from the bed, wondering where she is.
Her phone rang on the bedstand, and she quickly took it.
It's Damien calling.
"Damien, hey!" She picked cheerfully.
"I only tried your line, didn't know it'd go through. You got a new phone?" Damien asked.
"That aside for now, are you fine?" She asked.
"Yeah. Should be ok after taking some tonic. Where are you? Rihannon is worried" He asked.
"I dunno where Slade brought me to, but I'll get back to you guys as soon as possible. There's a lot of gist" She replied.
"We can't wait" Damien replied, and she hung up with a smile.
She sighed out, walking around the room restlessly since the door is locked.
Why is Slade not coming though?
Did he forget her here?
Her mind reeled back to when she went to report Aimee to him, and she sat on a chair.
Is it logical to always depend on Slade like that whenever there's trouble?
She's a mere moonslave with zero ability. She's weaker than weak, unless there's a way to get stronger overnight.
She remembered the voice in her head and stood, shutting her eyes.
"Voice, is there a way to get stronger? I...want to be able to help myself during crisis" she said.
She waited seconds, minutes, and only a cool breeze blew, no answer.
She opened one eye, then the second one disappointedly.
"I knew it, how do I even tame this voice to come whenever I want it?" She mumbled, but then she heard a rustle behind.
She turned to see Slade just coming in, and her eyes brightened.
"Kils!" She rushed to him and bumped into him in the process.
She almost fell, but he held her still, looking down at her.
"Why did you bring me here? Where's this place? Why did I even sleep off?" She asked at once, their bodies rubbing.
"Aren't you rushing it?" He lifted his brows, and she blinked cutely, making him squint.
"You're in the recuperation hall. The dark energy in the attic will hinder your healing process, so I brought you here, and you slept off cos Aimee's slap is dangerous. You'd have fallen sick if I didn't bring you here" he replied.
"You care about me that much?" She smiled, bringing his right palm to her cheek and holding it there, leaning into it like an egg.
"Silly, who were you talking to?" He asked, sliding his hand under her singlet to cup her breàsts.
"Voice...it talks to me most times in my head, but it's unstable" she replied, biting her lip gently.
"And you were asking it how to get strong? Do you think depending on me makes you weak?" He asked, pinching her nipple.
"Mmm...I just don't want to rely on you everytime. A slave shouldn't be totally useless" she moaned and talked at a time.
"You're not useless" he replied, lifting her up the table.
He made her sit, going between her legs and lowering her singlet before diving his face right there, taking her breàst into the warmness of his mouth.
"Don't stop anytime soon, please" she moaned, massaging her second breàst hornily.
The titties are so perkily full, and it's always like this whenever she's on her period this way.
"Christ" Slade groaned as he licked her cleavage, up to her neck where he attached his teeth and nibbled gently...
"What are you doing?" She gasped.
"Marking you, little one" he replied, grazing the spot till it left a red mark. He kept his face on her neck, inhaling her scent which turned him on so much.
"I don't give a shit about your period, but I'm taking you tonight. And don't even think about sleeping a wink..." He said against her skin, sniffing her.
"Whichever way you want it, master" she replied, and she felt him smile on her neck, though she's not sure.
Why is he suddenly being cuddly tonight?
Why is he not letting go of her?
It's not his habit to hold her this way and talk for this long without cutting her off like he does.
Is something wrong with him?
"Are you ok, Kils?" She asked, and just as he was about to talk again, his phone rang.
He lifted his head and retrieved it from her pocket.
It's Uriel calling.
"Check the announcement LED screen" Uriel said.
Slade pulled Twilight's singlet back on and took off his jacket which he wore on her body before helping her down the table.
He pulled her out of the hall, and when they got outside, a sea of students are assembled in front of the LED screen at the administrative building.
Lorraine is on screen, making an announcement.
"I'd like everyone in the castle to listen clearly to this important announcement" she said.
* What's she gonna say?
* It's been a while since she used the screen.
Students began murmuring, and Twilight held Slade with her second hand too, suspecting that the announcement will be somehow related to her.
"Molly Fell is expelled from this school as of today" Lorraine announced.
"She must be kidding, is it because i haven't told everyone about her shameless crush on Prof Luther? She locked me out of the homepage and that's why I haven't announced it! I'll print it on papers just wait for me!" Molly shouted from the crowd, and the murmurs increased as she stormed away angrily.
" Twilight Kent, you're expelled too. Your admission letter is fake. Your studentship is hereby terminated" Lorraine further said.
Twilight's eyes widened.
"Yes!!" Imogen screamed, hugging Posey happily.
Echo smiled, feeling happier than she expected.
Damien and Rihannon rushed into the crowd, looking restless.
"Twi-Twi...are you really leaving? Where will you go?" Rihannon said breathlessly.
Slade pulled Twilight before she could reply, and before she knew it, they're already walking into the admin building together.
"Killa" she called, but he didn't even look her way till they got to the announcement room.
He pushed the door open with his shoe, pulling her in.
Lorraine is in front of the cameras with all the sponsors sitting around her
Obviously, it's a plot.
"I clearly said you're expelled, Twilight Kent," Lorraine glared.
"Revoke the order" Slade replied without humour.
"I get that your father Timothy is the biggest sponsor in this university, but that doesn't give you any right. Timothy Luther is different from Slade Luther, and the last time I checked, you hate him so using his name is unallowed. Throw that girl out, or I'll close down this university!" Lorraine threatened.
"You'll close down my university?" Slade chuckled, and Twilight's eyes widened again.
"What are you talking about?" Lorraine said as some of the other sponsors began standing.
"Timothy isn't the biggest sponsor. We only inserted his name cos Slade never wanted anyone to know his real identity" Lord Vann said, coming in.
"Vann?" Lorraine said unbelievably.
Lord Vann threw the real copies of the sponsors documents on the table, and they all began checking it out as the hall fell in chaos.
"It's true" one of them said, raising the major document up.
On the biggest sponsor column, SLADE LUTHER is there in capital letters.
"He has been sponsoring this school weekly since he was ten. Automatically, he owns the school. He's not just a professor, he's the President" Lord Vann announced.
Twilight's mouth refused to close.
"What!!!" Lorraine gagged with the other sponsors.
"You know what you'll do for me?" Slade spoke with that dark aura, and Lorraine held her breaths.
"Face the cameras again, I'm sure the students are still watching outside. That same mouth you announced Twilight's expulsion with, use it to tell them about yours too. Lorraine Wesley, You Are Fired." Slade dropped the bombshell.
TBC.
