Her Soul and His Blood novel Chapter 22

He left the place leaving bleeding Zella in that darkroom. The pain throbs in her guts, it's deep and warm, but not in a nice way. It feels like someone has their hand in there and are squeezing her organs either gently or as hand as they can. When it wanes She can move, when it returns she can only hold still and breathe, breathe slow and deep until it has passed. There is no blood anywhere but her abdomen is purple and lumpy where it should be smooth. Every step feels like a nail bomb exploding in her innards. If it wasn't for Zad she would have died right there and let it take her away to the next life, but She promised her mother to bring Zad home, so she must.

The next day Hance came to check Zella. He opened the door and his eyes widened.

The red bruises of her skin is vanished and there is no sign of being beaten.Her face is like the fire gold glow of daw lifting his gaze, drawing him in.

"How is this possible ?" He approached her, held her face in his hands.

************

Hance is lying on the ground, being injured. His shirt is completely filled with blood , and blood flowing through the ground and he is wincing with pain, scowling on the ground.Lance is pulling out a knife from his heart.

***********

She came into reality when Hance rubbed her face softly.She pushed him away,but she saw some kind of worry in his face.

"Hance, you look dull." She smirked and smiled viciously.

"How did this happen ?"

"Im a healer now," she smirked, "You take life away, while I can save a life now."

"So you are having more powers, but what is the use, you are going to die."He got up and arched his brows.

She folded her hand, " I saw who is going to die."

"What did you mean by that ?" He asked furiously.

A heavily built man stood near the door and knocked the door. Interrupting Hance always made his blood run cold.

"Umm... Prince Hance, Mr.Benjamin wanted to see you." He cleared his throat.

Hance gave him a piercing look.It had a lot of meaning. Hance stormed out of the room,and caught his throat.He struggled and started choking.

"My Prince, I apologize, Mr. Benjamin told its...its something serious." Hance dropped him down and slam out gazing Zella viciously.

She watched him leaving and stared at the uninvited guest.

"Miss, Mr.Benjamin asked me to take you with me." He said this in a British accent.

"Why?" She asked seriously with a frown on her eyebrows.

"I have no idea Miss." He said softly. He is not like others, his eyes shows kindness in it hidden somewhere.

She got up from her place and walked towards the door.He accompanied her to a living room which is huge, where Mr.Benjamin was waiting for her.She entered into the atmosphere of softness to cruelness.

"Zella,I have been waiting for you." He said in his deep voice.
