"I'm so sorry, Cora."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCnllG7w2
"Dimitri! Stop it!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxZeF0mKBE
"I can't, I have to do this, The Blood King will kill all of us!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zlncCqKkm
Cora cut through the the ropes releasing her other hand.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb9wCopHbU
"How could you betray me like this?" he asked her. He was visibly shaking. "I thought we were friends!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysKVkR5TE6
"We are friends and I didn't betray you!" Cora answered.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr4a0BvSTn
"I know everything, you're working with the Blood King to destroy Prince Lyon."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAGHMvj3OY
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xKrEOcku
"You've officially lost your mind!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ELeBPZkee
"I know it sounds crazy..."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Q3JYya0Q
"You think?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA4gZjsYRr
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcMs2VfbDg
"You really have been working with him haven't you?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuDXHU5xuP
The blonde nodded hesitantly.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NrQxpRkwq
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmAAPi9QQ7
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjAKB3ZI1
He nervously glanced out the window. Neither of them said anything for a few minutes.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzhRMjcVvs
"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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM07Ke8ptD
"We were only five!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9DTsu7aCa
"You said you were going to move in with them."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXXqFWPdC8
Cora tried to hide her embarrassed smile. Soon her embarrassment faded into sadness. "We were so close back then."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl1h98VSVd
Dimitri frowned. "Yeah, we were."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvBBLknef
"What happened to us?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcz4aiD0T5
"I guess we're drifting apart."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1wDgySn1F
"I guess so."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4i6c7SgnR
A loud knock on the door made them both jump.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3TZhoF3HI
"Are you gonna answer that?" Cora leaned up against the walls and folded her arms confidently.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOxfSTnJBH
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnfwpknked
With a loud crashing noise the door was reduced to splinters.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuGjLjb3pb
"Now that's what I call going out with a bang!" Val exclaimed as she removed her safety goggles.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFjzsIP4eA
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAxjhAb17B
Cora smiled down at her sword this time she was ready for the final battle.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUYOkWk7W
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQiTSMTBfC
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5euXfTausR
"You're not going anywhere!"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNOcagRRH
"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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cnRw2CHB
"You're lying." Dimitri swung his sword so quickly Ray was barely able to block it.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6DqcF1tSw
Ray turned to her "Coraline, I need you to go defeat the King of Shadows, I'll hold him off."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdnspZaLH
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjnsT2Bley
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qOapBF60V
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPhbLUZqjJ
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vR65PgUJm
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVD07Vg8eS
"Now it looks like you're the one who should surrender," Dimitri gloated.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKQfYFUU2
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pFGT4tzCn
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHiD7kU1R6
"In the flesh."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcOR5wptTi
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.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFz0oKZf0Q
"I'm sorry to disappoint."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5TktplVw
"You're just an ordinary guy."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREPJOuGLCs
Ray shrugged, still holding his hands up.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4qG7G3zZ5
"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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo1rCfB4Bi
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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfAcmshal8
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,"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTcYocEz2k
"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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuq25KLGgg
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?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHzJuc7Tfm
"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."
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf96JlJQHs
The earth shook again. This time lighting struck the top of the castle short circuiting the power.
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvElhmkDzWt
"Why are you telling me this?"
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGH9QUOvtS
"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?"
