DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 36 THE END
ARTEMIS
I pace around their archaic cell. They’ve questioned me, trying to coerce my information from my lips. I will not break.
This is just temporary. I could remain here for years, but my situation will not change. My beloved will be in my arms again. That is a promise.
My Cleo will be whole again. I think as I stand at the glass. My eyes stinging from tears I didn’t think I had left to cry.
I did not fight for 800 years to fail now. My spawn took my love and I will enjoy seeing their lives drain from their bodies. I will not rest until every one of them are dead. Even if I don’t get Cleo back, I will celebrate my revenge.
I pace around some more. I need the Reaper. These wolves have it and I have to find it before Lefu does. The power in it is mine. He will not get it.
I rub my hands together as I roll my eyes to the glass wall. First, I need out of here.
The power in my cell flickers.
I stand and watch the lights above my head go on and off like a twinkling star.
“Artemis.”
My head lowers to the image in my cell. His form seems to disappear and reappear in the strobe.
“Lefu.” I puff out my chest and put my hands behind my back.
He steps to me. “Where is it?” He growls.
“I do not know.” I look into his eyes. He can read minds and manipulate. I will not lie.
He pushes his chin out. “You will find it.” His yellow and green eyes rip into my soul as his face comes close to mine.
“That will be difficult as you see…I don’t have the ability…”
He grabs my throat and pushes me against the glass. The iron around my neck doesn’t deter him at all.
He peers into my eyes. “You will find my blade, Artemis. You will find it or I will destroy you and Cleo.”
“No, please. Kill me if you must, but leave Cleo.” I beg as my feet struggle to keep to the floor.
He reaches up and pulls a chain out from my shirt. On the chain is a bottle. He holds the bottle in his fingertips at my eyes.
A tear falls as I watch the tiny star float inside the center.
“I can crush her. Destroy her essence and there will be nothing left. You took my blade from me for her. I allowed you to use it only if you kept it safe. Now, it is not. You have one chance. Find my blade or your precious mate is removed from existence.” He engulfs Cleo in his fist. I can feel her. Hear her screaming in my head. Her fear is filling me.
“Please! I’ll find it. I swear. Let her go.” My own pain and fear fill my face.
He drops Cleo and glares at me. “You’re coming with me.” He grinds.
We disappear leaving behind a quiet, empty cell.
With my freedom restored, I will find my daughters. My love will be restored and at first chance…
I will drive the Reaper right into Lefus heart.
