Deepest Part of You

A Farewell..?

Chapter 15. 

    “Ahh Prince Seth..” The werewolf tempted Seth’s patience. “Watch your power carefully Seth.. You don’t want my claws hurt her..”

    He said while put his hand that instantly changed to claws threatening her upper neck, makes Violet had to lift her chin with force. For a second Seth’s eyes meet hers. Seth clenched his jaw.

    “I’m gonna ripped your heart out, I don’t even have to use my power.” He promised. His face looked intensely frigid—as if he’s a trained assassin. Every time his dark side shows up, he always makes Violet shivering in fear, but this time she’s more concern about his well-being.

    “You shouldn’t chase us, and stay at your own party.. This princess doesn’t belong to you.”

    “I don’t belong to anyo—” Violet cut in after heard the annoying words from the werewolf, followed by a single shake on her body from his abductor, in gesture of telling her to shut up.

    Seth’s furious at the view in front of him, but in the other hand he had to be cautious and not reckless.

    Seth noticed that the werewolf is stalling, waiting for his pack to comes and give their leader a backed up. Seth recognised this werewolf-leader, his name is Hunter--the King of Alpsky Kingdom. He has the same age with Seth, but he had to take the throne when his father died. The only question’s left is why Hunter took her.

    “She’s definitely not yours.”  “And if you were meant to kill her, you’ve done it already back at my place.” Seth took a step forward.

    “Well, well don’t be so sure.” Hunter quickly pressed his claws deeper, made Violet squinted in pain, and made Seth stop instantly.

    “I can’t help but noticed.. You chased after us..Alone..” said the werewolf.

     Violet knows what that means, she’s trembling for thinking how the situation’s going to be.

    Seth is looking behind from his shoulder, acknowledged the arrival of Hunter’s pack—another four werewolves, before looked at Hunter sharply.

    “I don’t need back up.” said Seth, frigidly, while raising his swords and made his first move by intended to trap Hunter’s pack with roots from the trees to the ground. Unfortunately, two of them managed to refrain Seth’s attack. Three down, three more to go.

    One of the pack who escaped Seth’s attack, charging him—tackled him until both of them rolling on the ground. Seth’s managed to stand up first and intended to end its life with his sword, when he heard Violet groaned.

    “—NO” Violet suddenly groaned in reflex, she’s panting. The claws on her neck has hurt her, a little drop of purple blood drawn out.

    Seth’s noticing the blood, conflicted with the possibility that Hunter wasn’t bluffing and will hurt Violet. He’s not going to put the chance to the test, not with her safety on the line. Seth lowered his sword, his arm and a part of his abs are wounded by his attacker’s claws.

    “Tsk, tsk, tsk.. Now, prince Seth. Don’t hurt my men, will you? I don’t want to hurt this princess, but I will if I had to.” said Hunter feeling ahead from his opponent.

    Violet know the situation for Seth is not good, especially when his abductor used her to threatened Seth’s move. “NO! Let me go!” Violet’s still trying to struggle even though the more she struggling, the more those claws hurt her. Hunter made his grip on her body sturdier so his claws will not accidentally hurt her more.

    For a second Seth looked at Violet – an emotionless look--, before slowly, releasing his sword from his hand and raising his both hands as a sign of surrender. Preparing himself to what comes after him.

    “You know.. I’m pretty sure if you die here, no one will knows- - or who’s responsible.. –Since no body saw us, back there in your castle..” said Hunter with smug grin. “So I could say that, I can kill you without provoking any war.” He added, as if giving his pack a clue.

    Hunter’s pack already surrounded Seth. One of them grabbing Seth’s sword and pointing it to Seth’s chest. Violet is constantly struggled to escape, hoping got a slight chance for both of them—Seth and her to escape.

    “.. Just let her go.” said Seth.

    Hunter scoffed in sarcasm. “And what? Give her back to you..? So you can kill her?”

    For a moment the atmosphere is intensely in silent. Or is that what Violet’s feeling inside?

    “Oh I know about your kingdom’s secret, extracting fairy’s power to gain your own power.” said Hunter with disgust.

    Violet is no longer struggling after heard the truth, she just froze—in shock for knowing the truth. The truth that she’s never expected. And to think that the Prince has ever cared for her—that’s a very big mistake, he’s only wished for my strength. Violet shivered a little, containing her needs to cry.

    The truth has come out, Seth can’t do anything rather than froze-standing with his clenched jaw, his fists with its knuckles turned white, and his frigid-guilty look on his face as he gaze into Violet’s eyes.

    “Sorcerers are such hypocrites.” As soon as Hunter said that, one of his pack who’s holding Seth’s sword suddenly stabbed the sword into Seth’s chest.

    Violet feel as if all of her blood rush into her brain, as if her heart is stop beating and she can’t  breathe too at the same time.

    Looking at Seth’s body fell on the ground just like that. Every thing’s happened so fast but as if all is moving in slow motion. She can feel that Hunter is going to take her away, leaving Seth to death. 

    “NO!! LET ME GO!” Violet screamed and struggled with everything she has, she made lose, but when she approached Seth, Hunter has strain her again.

    “PLEASE!! DON’T LET HIM DIE!” her cheeks are wet with tears. As much as she’d hurt inside, she still can’t let Seth die, not because her, not this way—and not on his birthday too.

    “He is going to kill you princess! Why are you still fight for him?”

    “—PLEASE, I-I c-can heal him, J-JUST let me heal him!” she said in her cries. “Y-you’re a king, you kn-know what it takes t-to keep t-the p-eace—please—”.  “W-we’re g-gonna be l-long gone anyway wh-when he’s a-awake.” She trembled.

    “I’ll take my chances.” He said while dragging her.

    “NO PLEASE! I-If you let m-me heal him I’ll d-do what y-you want!” her voice is weaken at the end, tired of the facts that every Princes that he met are taking advantages of her.

    This could be the beginning for worlds of kingdom would be in wars, even though for Violet --at the time, what’s matter most is saving Seth’s life.

    Hunter finally decided to release Violet from his hand. As fast as she can, Violet ran to Seth who’s already unconscious, his shirt’s covered by a lot of fresh blood. Please don’t die! Violet is still shivering and crying, but she healed him right away.

    “Okay that’s enough.” As she’s in the process of healing—in the middle of her glowing, Hunter suddenly grab her and take her away from Seth.

    “NO!!Wh—”

    Hunter grabbed her again, changed-shape and taking a far leap with his pack, leaving the place.

    She could feel her eyes swollen and in heat for crying too much, while wondering if her interrupted-healing power had saved Seth or not. Violet is still in her own mind when she realised the road, the trees, that they’d passed by is getting snowy.

    In no time she began to shiver in cold. How can everything turns out like this..? Why are the werewolf took her too..?
