Devil's Queen

"She's over there!" One of the guards exclaimed pointing his index finger towards the dark hallway. Twenty elite bodyguards ran towards her direction. Few holding a sharp knife and few holding a gun in their hands. "Be careful!" The leader yelled. All the color in Elisha's face drained looking at the guards chasing after her. The tiny bit of warmth in her heart extinguished leaving her in dark and cold abyss. Her dark doe eyes turned blood thirsty. Few guards swallowed hard looking at her inhumane blood thirsty look which they are way too familiar with. The guards exchanged looks with each other as cold sweat erupted on their forehead. It was evident how fearful they were of her, their fear for her is engraved deep in their heart. They have witnessed her demonic way of killing mercilessly. They were afraid of taking another step towards her. But they must finish this task even at the risk of losing their lives. She's way too dangerous for the outside world. The guards holding knifes charged towards Elisha. The guards holding guns stood at the same spot clenching their fist. Even if they have guns and could kill her easily, they aren't supposed to use them. What's the use of even having it? They don't have the order to kill, in-fact to be more precise they aren't supposed to hurt her much. Elisha remained calm and stood in the same place without moving an inch. The guards were too fast, their dagger aiming at Elisha, mainly at her vital part which could slow down her temporarily giving them an upper hand. *Cling* The dagger which was aimed at her left shoulder fell on the ground into pieces. All the guards were terrified looking at how she snapped the top-quality dagger into pieces. Within few milliseconds, the guard, whose dagger was snapped into pieces, fell on the hard floor. Blood oozed out from the slit on his neck. He was no match for her. "f**k!" The other guard yelled in frustration and charged towards Elisha. Knowing how vicious she is, the ten elite bodyguards attacked her together hoping to at least slow her down. Elisha's lips curved up lightly. Meanwhile, more elite guards rushed towards the hallway. Each one of them even stronger than the earlier twenty elite guards. Their steps halted halfway as they witnessed the scene in front of them with twisted expression. The scene in front of them is nothing but a brutal graveyard, all the twenty elite guards were laying on the floor lifeless in pool of blood. She has slaughtered them like pigs. 'Exactly how strong is she?' The elite guards couldn't help but frown looking at Elisha. Sure enough Elisha was living up to her name 'Goddess of Death.' Elisha stood in the center of dead bodies covered in blood, with a sword in her hand. Her right hand was bleeding heavily but she didn't even feel one ounce of pain. All she felt was numbness and cold. She stood there with determined eyes. No matter what, today she's going to leave this hell of a place even if she must kill every single one of the them. This is my only last chance to not to turn into a complete walking dead. I can't let him use me anymore. I will not yield for his evil intentions. The second batch of elite guards charged towards Elisha in rage looking at their brother's dead bodies. They all long wanted to erase this women’s existence from this world, and this was their chance to do it. Any strong and sane person would show at least little fear seeing so many strong men charging towards them in rage, but Elisha stood emotionlessly. Blood dripped from the tip of her sword craving for more blood. Once again, her sword began to slice through the bodies mercilessly. In the meantime, two figures approached the hallway. One is tall with good physic dressed up in a white suit underneath a pink button up shirt. The other was a lady, her jade like face was glowing in the dark with zero impurities. The proud and noble look on her face made others envy. Her heels made click clack sound on the marble floor as she walked towards Elisha and the elite guards. "Eli." The guy spoke pausing Elisha's action for a moment. His voice cold and calm. As Elisha's eyes fell on the person, the only person whom she could trust in this entire place, Adin. Tiny bit of warmth settled in her heart. Since she got a backup now, her chance of leaving this hell became higher. While Elisha was looking at Adin, one of the guards pierced his sword on her left arm injuring her heavily. But Elisha stood still as she didn't feel any pain but only a slight tickle. The beautiful lady had a smug look as she looked at Elisha. 'Finally, I can get rid of this bitch.' Elisha glanced at the guard who injured her arm and turned towards Adin. "Adin.." She was looking at him with an expectant eye. After a very long time finally she was having a hope to live again. Adin walked towards Elisha with a smile on his face. "You must be tired, let me give you some strength." Adin spoke softly standing in front of Elisha. Without waiting for an answer, he took out a syringe containing green liquid from his pocket. Elisha's eyes widened looking at the green liquid syringe, but before she could respond Adin injected it harshly on her neck. The reaction of liquid is immediate. Elisha felt her body become extremely cold, as if her blood cells were frozen. She gradually felt tired as if her life was sucked out. Her strength weakened. "This is the only way you can leave this place. It's all going to end now." Adin held Elisha closely. Elisha felt something sharp pierce her stomach, with the strength of the dagger stabbed into her stomach, Elisha coughed blood. A hope she had earlier shattered into pieces. She was a fool to trust someone again. She was an i***t for trusting this two-faced snake. She gave up escaping from this hell after trying for so many times. But Adin gave her hope, made her feel like a human again, a hope to lead new life. "W….why?" Elisha's voice gave cold chills, yet a lone tear escaped from the corner of her eyes. Adin only smirked at her and moved back. The elite guards understood the situation and sneered. "b***h, today is your doomsday." One of them snickered. He walked towards Elisha like a wolf towards its prey. His lustful eyes roamed around Elisha shamelessly. He extended his arm to her hair. Before his hand could even touch a single strand of her hair, it fell on the floor with a thump sound separated from his body. "AHH!!!" The guard screamed in agony as blood dripped from his half-chopped hand. The crowd were shocked including Adin and the beautiful lady. "How dare you!?!" One of them yelled angrily. Although, her speed and agility were tampered by Adin, she simply wasn't given the title 'Goddess of Death’. She could still kill many of them, but what's the use of it. She will still be dragged back to that psycho-beast only to suffer even more. The enraged guards stormed towards Elisha like mad dogs. One of the them aimed his dagger straight towards her heart. Elisha only put up an act of resistance to deceive everyone but when the guard aimed at her heart, she didn't resist and let him stab her. If this is how she can get her freedom, then she will gladly accept it. It's better than being a walking dead. 'Bang!' The guard who stabbed Elisha fell lifelessly on the floor with no movement. Blood oozed out from the gunshot on his forehead. "A f*****g dog dare to stab my woman!" A voice similar to enraged beast roared in the hallway. He stood tall in the dark hallway, the murderous aura around him makes people succumb in fear. Elisha didn't have a slightest reaction. But, her tired body gave out and fell on floor. Allen immediately rushed towards Elisha. He held her in his arms with strong grip afraid she would vanish into thin air. Although he loves her, he can't tolerate betrayal no matter whoever it is. "Elisha, how could you think of running away from me?! How dare you to betray me?! You knew I hate betrayal the most..." Allen yelled gripping her too tightly nearly her stopping blood circulation. Elisha couldn't help but look at his handsome face which could make any girl go crazy. It's one of the reasons she fell head over heels for this guy. She tried her very best in everything so she can match up to him. His love is nothing but toxic. But now when she thinks about it, was her feelings even real? She was a person who didn't chase after things if it didn't belong to her and definitely not a person to ignore her self respect and stay beside someone who didn't deserve her. It was as if something possessed her when she met 'them'. He doesn't know the difference between loving someone and caging someone forcefully. He treated her as his favorite pet. All he did to her was only to use her as shield for evil intentions and a slave to warm his bed. "... I'll call the doctor and save you... I'll forgive your betrayal and treat you like before...even better.... just promise me, you'll came back to my side, stay with me forever and forget about ever leaving or betraying me again... promise me!" Allen words were overbearing and arrogant but at the same time there was a fear in his voice. Fear of losing her. "N... never." Elisha could read him like an open book. She knew what he is and had seen his real ugly twisted side. Elisha knew no matter what her answer is, he will make her stay in this rotten place. So, all she could do now is to free herself. With little amount of energy left in her body, Elisha placed her hands on the dagger on her chest and pushed it deep inside damaging her vital nerves. Allen’s eyes widened looking at the move she just pulled. He was too shocked to do anything. 'Does she want to leave me so badly at the cost of her life??' 'Has she ever loved me like I did??' 'NO! I wouldn't let you go even if you die!!' 'You're mine! Only mine! Dead or alive!' "Elisha! Get up! You want to leave me?!.... Never!! ... Whether you live or die I’ll decided! You have no f*****g rights! to take your life!" Allen shook Elisha furiously. But he didn't get any response from her. Elisha was already half-conscious drifting away towards her final destination. "Eli… ELISHA!.... YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE!!" Allen was like beast on rampage. He hardly realised tears streaming down his face. Elisha could barely hear his voice calling for her. 'Allen... is this how my fate ends? Is it for this end, I endured all your tortures? Is it for this end, I lost all my family… my everything?.... If given a chance to rewrite my fate, I will never cross my path with you. If I get an opportunity to relive again…. I will never meet you or any of you.....I'm tired of living like a dead person... I pray this is the last time I see you...' A lone tear slipped from the corner of her eyes. This would be the last tear she will shed. Before losing her conscious completely, three peoples face appeared in one frame. As if replaying her whole life. But, strangely most of her memory are around people who turned her world upside down. It's as if her existence or the people before meeting 'them' never existed. They made her that way. They all made her live like a dead person. She didn't know how to describe them. Her heart ached for all the grief she suffered, every fibre in her body was thirsty for revenge. Feeling no moments from her, Allen panicked. His hands trembled as he held her. 'NO! No! noo.... You also left me...' Minutes passed as he sat there holding Elisha's cold body. No one dared to say anything, they were afraid of even breathing heavily. Their boss sitting quietly is nothing but a storm before calm. After few minutes, finally Allen got up. He looked even more scary with his calm look. Fixing his tie, he turned around to leave before commanding. "Dispose her body." As he walked away from her body the left wing of mansion where Elisha was caged for years exploded. Everyone fell on floor trying desperately to grab anything for support as the ground beneath them shook from the impact. It was like a earthquake. The dark surrounding with moonless night glowed in red like a sea of fire. It was like wrath of the demon god. Fire began spreading all over the mansion in just minutes swallowing everything on its way. That was no normal fire. Allen looked at the fire with clenched jaw then turned to direction of Elisha's body. "Bitch." The empire he built was crumbling in fire. In the midst of raging fire laid Elisha. Her revenge was completed at cost of her life. Her only regret was meeting 'them'.
