"I'm so sorry, Cora."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrY5Y7jkNA
"Dimitri! Stop it!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbPiZsuMvw
"I can't, I have to do this, The Blood King will kill all of us!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuD0AtTl8K
Cora cut through the the ropes releasing her other hand.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITiuwAxKTj
"How could you betray me like this?" he asked her. He was visibly shaking. "I thought we were friends!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pvcNS1ahI
"We are friends and I didn't betray you!" Cora answered.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWUkViygl
"I know everything, you're working with the Blood King to destroy Prince Lyon."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyCSRJZwj4
He wasn't wrong, but how was she going to explain this. She took a step back and a deep breath. "The Blood King isn't the bad guy and Prince Lyon isn't who he says he is. The real prince has been dead for years, someone else has been masquerading as him using magic."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3eyV80l2l
"You've officially lost your mind!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3TeFDbCMV
"I know it sounds crazy..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67xlZTXwu4
"You think?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjWIZzaBR7
She held the knife out in front of her and slowly took another step back. "Please, I need you listen to me. Whatever Lyon told you about the Blood King is a lie. Everything we've been taught about the Blood King is a lie."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEggOppo24
"You really have been working with him haven't you?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ds7sgxdop
The blonde nodded hesitantly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM9GyA543T
Dimitri tucked his sword back into it's sheath. He let out a long exasperated sigh as he ran his fingers through his curls. "I don't want to hurt you, but I can't let youleave."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc1z6PTR0q
Cora set her knife down on the table and crossed her arms. "Fine. I'll stay here, but you should know, I have backup on the way and they won't hesitate to beat you up to get to me."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DxWDirV16
He nervously glanced out the window. Neither of them said anything for a few minutes.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDtfesQtPx
"Do you remember the time when we went to the zoo and and we tried to climb into the lion cage?" Dimitri asked not making eye contact.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8BwjsfL5I
"We were only five!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MI6NECVeU
"You said you were going to move in with them."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidhQziqrn
Cora tried to hide her embarrassed smile. Soon her embarrassment faded into sadness. "We were so close back then."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy35zR01Ro2
Dimitri frowned. "Yeah, we were."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9r9jlq6La
"What happened to us?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmNlWIgfVi
"I guess we're drifting apart."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaFqrTaNgu
"I guess so."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRPYBjWFD6
A loud knock on the door made them both jump.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVN73m2ogl
"Are you gonna answer that?" Cora leaned up against the walls and folded her arms confidently.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJJvT2HIbg
Dimitri's glance shifted from the door to Cora then back to the door again. He slowly approached the door with sword in hand. A faint beeping noise sounded from the other side.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmSMi40Pvm
With a loud crashing noise the door was reduced to splinters.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNgB5W4UJ2
"Now that's what I call going out with a bang!" Val exclaimed as she removed her safety goggles.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJvOjERf4y
Ray handed her sword to her. "Scarlet and Zyler had business they needed to take care of, they'll be joining us shortly until then we need to hold off the King of Shadows for as long as we can."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH6kuOKkhD
Cora smiled down at her sword this time she was ready for the final battle.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwObT8UAD
As the trio turned to exit Dimitri stood in their path with his sword pointed towards their throats. "You dragged Scarlet into this?" Anger radiated from his voice.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDGqZykeMa
Ray pushed away Dimitri's sword with his own. "You have nothing to worry about, your sister is helping us out of her own free will.He glanced down at his nonexistent watch. "In fact we're supposed to be meeting her any minute now, so we should really be going."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0X7jZ5Vb2
"You're not going anywhere!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sL7H3Vk92
"You've been deceived by the King of Shadows," Ray gestured to the storm clouds out the window. "He is the one responsible for this."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HcxZWeEY1
"You're lying." Dimitri swung his sword so quickly Ray was barely able to block it.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjZ24qB2hJ
Ray turned to her "Coraline, I need you to go defeat the King of Shadows, I'll hold him off."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5aJhDbWO4
Cora nodded slowly. She knew what she needed to do. She turned back to get one last glimpse of him before running out the door with Val following behind her.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl5lR39c5O
Ray slashed trough Dimitri's jacket intentionally not harming him. "I don't want to hurt you because I know how much Coraline cares about you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdYN2F4Mb5
Dimitri swung his sword at Ray's chest, which he instantly deflected. He swung again, this time he aimed for they face. Blocked again. He swung again and again, over and over. The room was filled with the sound of metal clashing against metal. Dimitri hardly managed to put a scratch on him he was too skilled. Before he knew it he was backed into a wall.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWQVp9EyPj
Ray pointed his sword between his eyes. "Surrender now or face the consequences." Ray commanded in a tone of voice he hadn't used in nearly two thousand years, a tone of voice that reminded him too much of who he used to be.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8t1mHzQA
The earth below them began to quake, which caught Ray off guard long enough for Dimitri to slice open Ray's good leg. Crimson poured out of the wound. The pain caused him to collapse onto the floor.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA76RjnTpU
"Now it looks like you're the one who should surrender," Dimitri gloated.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlV4UncYS8
Ray dropped his sword and raised his hands in surrender. "Congratulations, very many have challenged me and very few have been able to defeat me, you were wise to go for the legs."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIODkd7XpYQ
Dimitri closely scanned his face. He tried his hardest not to gasp when he realized who he was speaking to. "You're the Blood King." He gripped his sword so tightly it felt like it might crumble under the pressure.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeY4iYvbwB
"In the flesh."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7HaIshuz
Dimitri head was filled with so many different thoughts he feared his head might explode. The real Blood King was right in front of him. He fought the Blood King and won? "You're not really what I was expecting," he thought out loud.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5xXbhgq0
"I'm sorry to disappoint."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA3j2M4H1I
"You're just an ordinary guy."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPvE5gqtN
Ray shrugged, still holding his hands up.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzMfdMbyQs
"I was terrified of you as a kid, I was so afraid that you were lurking in the dark corners of my room at night just waiting to strike."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTjNf1D1ir
Ray couldn't hold back his laughter. He laughed so hard he was nearly in tears. "Believe me I have much better things to do than hiding under your bed."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HbV9ilwud
Dimitri grumbled something foul under his breath then regained his composure. "My point is everyone is so scared of you, but here you are, my prisoner, you're completely defenseless,"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRIO8fw8x8
"Oh, but I'm not defenseless, I could easily snap your neck right now, but it would break Coraline's heart and I've been trying not to kill people anymore. I could escape if I wanted to the only reason I'm still here is because I want to be."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFi0cbKeL1
Dimitri starred him down trying to determine if he was bluffing or not to no avail. "If you can leave then why are you choosing to stay?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz77k6KHGWJ
"Coraline is in the fight of her life against the King of Shadows and the last thing she needs is your interference, I'm here to distract you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGsTwOX9sm
The earth shook again. This time lighting struck the top of the castle short circuiting the power.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJkMP2R8O
"Why are you telling me this?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxrFEK1rv5
"Because it's time for you to decide who you are and who's side you're on. We can fight together as brothers to defeat this foe or you can stand with the King of Shadows, who thinks of you as nothing more than a puppet and be forced to fight against me and your best friend. You can stand with me or get out of my way, what will it be?"
