The innocent reject novel Chapter 24

Breaking point

I refused to fall down on his feet

Another slash could be felt from the other side

Making a cross on my back

"..n.....o.....ooooo...

...just

....Lea..ve...... ....her...."

I heard Aaron say in his pain filled crooked voice

I looked at him and his eyes held desperation

Desperation for holding me and keeping me safe

I passed him a genuine smile

I don't why I smile when every inch of my body is breaking and aching

Maybe it's because I have gone insane

Or

Because I wanted to assure him that this pain was nothing

I stood my ground

The red eyed man grabbed my jaw in his hand and forced me to look at him breaking my eye contact with Aaron

"I gave you a chance but I guess you want to die along with him....but don't worry i'll make it a quick one "

His hand moved towards my neck and he started throttling it.

"K..ill ... me ......now.....but.....if you decide ...to .....let ...me live I promise .....you all will not be ......able to see tomorrows daylight..."

I managed to say with angry eyes staring at his red one.

His red orbs were now burning with anger

He wanted me to plead , to beg him to let me live but what he got from me was a challenge and he didn't like backing down from them.

I could feel my feet lifting from the ground

My hands were holding his grip and I was trying to pull it but my human strength was no match to his.

Slowly and slowly these few seconds felt like hours

My vision got hazy and my lungs were were losing their purpose

My grip on his hand loosened

My arms fell on my side and

My legs stopped struggling

Faint sounds could be heard but I couldn't identify them,my mind was not functioning due to the lack of oxygen.

Just when I thought death will engulf me, his hand left my neck and I fell back on the ground.

Oxygen entered but it was followed by continuous coughs

Black substance covered my hands and everyone looked confused on seeing it

But no one paid much heed to it after the next words which he spoke

"This is no fun!! Why don't we make things interesting?

Guards go and grab those silver chains!!"

The guards bought the silver chains and they tied Aaron and Dan 's hands and legs making it impossible for them to move or shift

Groans of pain could be heard from them

If only I could take away their pain and see their smiling faces again.

Next the Red eyed ordered a wolfsbane laden whip and made his way towards them

Jane stood there watching

I wanted to rip her head of for doing all this

She was the main culprit

Everything happened because of her

Feeling my stare on her

Her eyes met mine

Aaron gave everything to her and this is what she did

He made her his queen and she took away his kingdom

He gave her his trust and she kicked it like dust
