••• BALVINA •••

After waiting patiently for quite sometime, Ayra started to feel worry. The weeping silence of this castle was really bone shivering. She could even hear the movements of flies nearby. It was her vampire instinct to hear everything so crystal clearly.

Wanting to get up, Ayra postponed the idea. Cedric had warned her several times before dissaparing away from her sight. With such narcissistic characteristic, she was sure that if she disobeyed and encountered any trouble, he would end up punishing her again. His punishments included all those bed times activities which made her dying in shame. A vision of their wedding night came and vanished away quickly as she swallowed and kept herself convincing to stay.

But her anxiety increased as each time passed away and eyes started to dart back and forth wandering where did he go to catch the intruder exactly.

Meanwhile, the shadow also collapsed on the spot when Cedric talked about second degree murder. Though he didn't understand what kind of murder was it in reality, his burning eyes was enough for him to imagine a horrified death.

The shadow man's first intention was to run away. Without thinking too much, he turned his body around slightly and inteneded to run as longer as possible. It was better to escape away rather than being beheaded.

Cedric didn't chase after him. His burning eyes stared hard on his back unblinkingly. A devilish smile formed on his lips and his joy of hunting a prey did come back to amuse his mind.

Cedric was standing at his spot and extended one of his arm to summon his fire iron chain. Within a moment, a chain appeared in his grip and was burning same alike his eyes. Rolling the chain in his hand, he threw it in the air, aiming at the man's running back and twisted the chain in the air.

The shadow man didn't expect to be hit from back. He only assumed that Cedric would run after him and he would run to Ayra so that he could threat Cedric using her life. The chain hit his legs as he fall down on the floor, bumping against the hardness badly and let out a growl.

To the man's surprise, the chain worked on its own and started to bind his legs together. The man yelled most probably in fear and looked down at his feet that had been wrapping with the chain horribly. He couldn't believe that something like this ever existed in BRIGHTMOON WORLD.

Then the painful dragging started and his body was pushing and pulling towards Cedric by the chain automatically. The shadow man screamed looking up at Cedric whose face was looking like a pure demon that had the flare of pleasure in paining him,

" Let go...Let go of me....My group won't let you go..They will kill you..Aahh... You..."

Cedric chuckled enjoying his mournful cry and let his chain do the rest of tasks leisurely. He teased shoving his fist inside his pockets,

" Tsk...So impolite! Weren't you calling me your highness a while ago?"

The shadow man gritted his teeth harder and bit down his lips painfully. The chain of fire was literally plucking out his flesh and left with only bones in his feet. The heat was so much that he couldn't even dare to touch it by his hands.

As he got closer to Cedric, Cedric bent down a little and pulled up the man by his collar. When he saw terror in that man's eyes, his smile broadened and he spoke in a casual tone,

" Let's try something new now."

With a swish sound, the man was pressed against the wall so hardly in left that the wall cracked by the impact and his body dived few inches deeper into cracking spot. Cedric held his throat in his grip and spoke to the man who now whinned to breath properly,

" What did you say earlier,mmm? Your group won't let me go. You don't know that there is no one in this world who can kill me except myself."

Cedric spoke before thrashing his body into the crack more painfully and questioned in a threatening voice,

" Tell me..who sent you to follow us here?"

The man howled in pain as his whole body was stuck between walls and he could hear his own bones breaking apart slowly. He replied between his ragged breathing,

" No..no..one...I followed on.. my...own.."

Cedric squeezed his eyes shut in agony. This man was challenging his patience and he would soon loose it. But whoever sent this shadow man was a cunning soul. The murky Shadow Hunters were infamous for their extreme loyalty to their masters. Even if they were threatened to death, they would never open up their mouth and took their secrets in grave. That's why, people used them as spies so that they could keep them safe.

Cedric was fully aware of everything. So he didn't want to wast unnecessary times on this man who would never answer to his questions. Smelling his fresh blood, Cedric's anger boiled as he glared hard through the man's painful face.

Curling his lips into an arrogant smile, he spoke to the shadow man in a sarcastic voice,

" Tell your master that you will wait for him in hell because I will be sending him or her soon."

With the saying, Cedric opened his mouth wide and two rows of canniens came out together. Before the shadow man could beg one last time, Cedric's mouth found his throat and one bite, his head was cut off from his body.

The man cried one last time before loosing his life. Cedric loosened his grip from the man's shoulder. The body and head laid down on the floor together before calming down. The man's legs were still throbbing when he loosened his grip.

Cedric retracted his canniens in a blink of eye and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with disgust. Stepping on the body disdainfully, he smirked before heading straight in Ayra's direction,

" Your master forgot to extinguish her smell in your blood. It was fun to kill you but sadly, you took the wrong side."
