2 Chapter 2: Revenge (1/2)

Loki felt tired and closed his eyes, Ivery sat up and realized she slept through the entire day, she looked out of her windows and saw that night had fallen. She saw that Loki had fallen asleep at the end of her bed. She sighed and pondered about how she could change Inanna's fate, she has eight years to figure out how she's going to do it. It's no use trying to figure it out in one night.

Ivery felt hungry, but she knew that even if she asked the maids for food they wouldn't give it to her. Ivory tapped Loki and he slowly opened his eyes and he was feeling irritable as his precious sleep was being disturbed. Loki stretched and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ivory.

”What do you want?” Loki licked the back of his paw

”I'm hungry” Ivery whined

”That's all? You really woke me up for that?” Loki hissed

”I don't know how good it'll be, that'll depend on you, picture the type of food you want and focus hard on it the same way you teleport” Loki said

”Okay..” Ivery thought about a plate of delicious juicy, fried, crispy chicken, she could already taste it

A hot plate materialised in her hands and ten pieces of fried chicken were on that same plate, Ivery's eyes widened and her mouth watered as she looked at the chicken on the plate. Loki looked at Ivery and sighed.

”Are you going to eat it or are you going to keep staring at it?” Loki laid down on the bed

”Oh right” Ivery wasted no time biting into the chicken she had created

Ivery fell in love with herself as the chicken tasted as if it was sent from the heavens kitchen and it landed straight into her hands. It was just as delicious, juicy and crispy as she imagined, what an amazing power.

Just as Ivery had finished eating she smiled and stretched out her hand and it glowed with a golden light, a translucent golden trash can appeared and floated in mid air. She tossed her plate in the floating trash can and as she waved her hand past the trash can, it disappeared into thin air, as if it was never there.

”I see you're getting used to your powers” Loki yawned

”You seem to know a lot about my powers, care to tell me about how much I can do with them and what it is?” Ivery was unconditionally curious, she obviously wanted to become stronger, but how could she possibly do that and she barely knows what her powers are

”You possess the infinite attribute, Golden Infinity, gifted to you by the Goddess of magic, Hecate” Loki explained

”Golden Infinity?” Ivery scratched her head

”Yes, don't get a big head because of this but your powers connect to the infinite spaces and times of other worlds and this one included” Loki looked at Ivery

”Meaning?” Ivery was still confused even though what Loki said sounded pretty cool

”I sound kind of overpowered” Ivery loved herself even more

”I'll tell you another cool power you have, you'll love this one, and I want to see you use it on those raggedy anne maids” Loki grinned

”What do you mean?” Ivery asked

”You have more than the power of creation, the Goddess Hecate was very generous when creating your abilities” Loki said

”Other than teleportation, creation, speed acceleration, flying, and reversion, you have the power of the divine commandment” Loki explained to Ivery

”Divine commandment?” Ivery liked the sound of this power

”As long as you order it out loud, anyone that hears your command can refuse you, this is a tad risky but go find a maid to use it on, regardless of your position, they are still your servants” Loki evilly grinned

”Let's do this!” Ivery was excited to test out this new power

Ivery opened her door and peaked out into the hallway. She slipped out of her room and went down stairs, Ivery walked aimlessly around the place and saw the head maid walking down the hall, Ivery mischievously smiled and ran up to the head maid.

”Miss, I'm hungry” Ivery pouted

”Why are you out of your room? Who allowed you to leave?! You escaped from me last time, but right now I will discipline you, bastard child!” The head maid raised her hand and intended on slapping Ivery

”Kneel” Ivery's voice rang out

The head maid suddenly felt her knees give out and she fell to her knees and looked up at Ivory, she looked in terror as she saw Ivery's red eyes glow with a golden light. Ivery smiled and grabbed the head maid's hair and pulled her into a room, this was revenge for Inanna.

”How dare you, you impudent child! You'll be whipped for this!” The head maid shouted

Ivery threw the head maid on the floor and closed the door behind her, as the head maid hit the floor, the pieces of wood that stuck out from the floor stabbed into her arm. The head maid flinched in pain as she felt the wood pieces pierce into her arm.

”Stand up and slap yourself” Ivery ordered and her golden red eyes flashed

The head maid couldn't control her hand and forcefully slapped her face against her own will. She stared at Ivory with terror in her eyes, she thought all of the kids who were sent to Hollow's Castle had no magic and were useless children who were to be executed when they turned 18 years. Why is this girl able to control her body?!

”This is amusing” Loki laughed as he appeared beside Ivery floating in mid air

”The cat.. is talking” The head maid was stunned as she saw the floating cat talking in human tongue

”Why does this surprise everyone?” Loki sighed

”Cat's don't normally talk Loki, I guess in this world it's the same” Ivery said

”Now, miss....stay here all night and slap yourself and don't make a single sound” Ivery commanded as her red eyes flashed with a brighter gold

Ivery closed the door and saw that three other maids came down the stairs, alarmed by the sounds downstairs. Ivery and the three maids looked at each other and the maids looked at her with disgust, the same way the Empress looked at Inanna.

”Why are you downstairs and not in your room? You bastard child” One of the maids said

”I had to give the old hag a lesson, it seems it your turns next, you bastard maids” Ivery smiled as her golden red eyes looked at the three of them

”It seems we haven't disciplined you kids enough, that'll change today” Another maid said as she walked over to Ivery

”Sleep” The maid that walked over to Ivery instantly passed out and collapsed on the floor

The other two maids were shocked and their faces contorted with anger. They rushed over to grab Ivery and as they both grabbed Ivery's arms, Loki appeared in front of them.

”Ivery, you should make them fight” Loki laughed

”Good idea” Ivery smiled

”Fight” Ivery commanded and her eyes flashed once again

The two maids who held onto Ivery let go of her arms and their bodies moved against their own will, one maid threw a punch to the other and the other maid tackled the maid that punched her. They slapped and punched each other but neither of them wanted to fight and didn't understand why they were fighting or how they were being forced to fight each other.

Ivery ran back up the stairs and into her room, she closed her door and smiled at the thought that she partially got some revenge for Inanna's mistreatment. Ivery laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.

”Tomorrow will be fun” Loki laid down at the foot of the bed and closed his eyes

”We'll see..” Ivery mumbled as she fell into a deep slumber

.

Ivery woke up and heard the sounds of laughing downstairs. Ivery got up from her bed and opened her door, the sounds of laughter grew louder, she walked down the stairs and saw that the two maids were still fighting, their faces bruised and bloodied, their clothes covered with the blood of each others and their own. They both kept apologizing to each other as they continuously threw punches. She saw her older and younger siblings laughing at the two maids as they fought with each other, no one tried to stop it because of the torment and disrespect the maids give the children in Hollow's Castle. She walked past the two maids and saw her younger siblings laughing and pointing in the room she put the head maid in.

Ivery walked over and looked at the head maid who was still slapping herself with great force, her face red and swollen from slapping herself all night, her eyes looked tired because no matter how hard she tried to sleep she couldn't.

”Please, stop me” The head maid begged Ivery as tears ran down her face

”Stop and go make everyone a good breakfast” Ivery commanded

The head maid's hand stopped hitting her face and her legs gave out and her knees painfully ached from standing all night. The head maid stood up, even though all she wanted to do was sit down and she walked to the kitchen not out of her own will and started to prepare breakfast for the hungry children. Ivery silently walked away as she looked at the two maids still fighting each other, as she was walking she almost tripped on the maid sleeping on the floor. She smiled and let the maid continue her little nap on the floor, she'll tell her to wake up later..

Ivery wanted fresh air, she opened the front doors and the scent of fresh air filled her lungs. Ivery walked around in the dirt outside she then heard the sound of horns sounding out.

”What is that?” Loki looked in the direction the horns were sounding out from

”Let's go see” Ivery picked up Loki and ran to the sound of horns

”Ivery be careful, I think that sound is coming from the Lilith Castle” Loki warned her

”What can they do to me now?” Ivery jumped up and her body lifted up in the air and she hovered over the silver fence

As Ivery flew up she saw a black carriage that had gold lining and golden decorations all over it. The horse even had gold on it, the saddle, the horse shoes, and it's reins. Then a boy stepped out of the carriage, Ivery blushed as she looked at him in disbelief, his chiseled jawline perfectly accentuated the godly proportions of his face, his clear porcelain skin with no trace of any blemishes, his face was something even the most beautifulest gods couldn't compare to, his long black silky hair flowed behind him as he walked towards the entrance of the Lilith Castle. His dark purple eyes seeming like they're casting a spell, his posture straight and his footsteps graceful and elegant, seeming like even the world would stop rotating just to stare at his unparalleled beauty.

”Who is that...?” Ivery started drooling

”The Crown Prince, Luther Vandell from Freesia Kingdom has arrived!” Everyone around him shouted out

”Don't fall for him yet Ivery, that guy is the ruthless Crown Prince of Fresia! Ivery make sure to stay away from that boy, he's the definition of dangerous” Loki said to Ivery

”What's wrong with him, he's the definition of perfect?” Ivery asked, still mesmerized by his attractive face

”All of the people around him are terrified of him, they're all thinking about unspeakable things, from what I'm hearing, he killed ten maids yesterday because they didn't satisfy him” Loki's started paws to sweat

”What a scary person...how did he kill them?” Ivery asked

”He decapitated three of maids with his bare hands, and he used his one of his abilities of Dark Chaos and used the power of decay on three maids, the last four maids looked as if they had all of the blood drained out of them, he obviously used the power of life absorption ” Loki slowly explained

”Hold on, explain how exactly do those terrifying powers of his work?” Ivery asked Loki

”Well for starters since he has the power of Dark Chaos, he has unmatchable and brute strength, from what I'm gathering, people that thought they could physically fight him...they all died” Loki laughed at the thought

”He also holds the ability of decay, anything and anyone he touches will rot under his hands” Loki rubbed his paws together

”Does that mean he can't touch anyone or anything?” Ivery asked Loki

”Of course not dumb girl, it's an intentional power, if he doesn't intend to use it on anyone or anything then the power is harmless, and if he does intend to use it on you then you're pretty much done for, because with the slightest touch...it will cause your body to rot, you'd be stuck in agonizing pain as your body slowly decays, you might as well dig your own grave in the next hour if you provoke him” Loki tried to sound scary and threatening

”Regardless of whether the power is intentional or not, I still wouldn't want him to touch me..” Loki didn't want to go anywhere near that deadly prince

”I'd let him touch me...just imagine Prince Luther kissing my hand like a fairytale prince and then he'd ask for my hand in marriage and then he'd put the glass slipper on and take me to the ball, but then when I touch the poisonous spindle I'd fall into a deep slumber and then he'd wake me up with the kiss of true love and then we'd get married with the seven dwarfs as the ring bearers and flower boys” Ivery blushed

”Stupid...aren't you mixing your fairytales?” Loki slapped her head with his paw

”Hey!”

”As for the third ability...life absorption, it's basically exactly how it sounds, he's able to suck the life out of any living creature, its something like a grape turning into a raisin if left to dry under a hot sun.”

”Is he like a vampire?” Ivery looked at Luther down on the ground

”No he's not, he doesn't have fangs or anything” Loki rubbed his temple with his paw

”But he has countless abilities you don't want to even think about, but keep in mind they're all dangerous powers that a 15 year old kid shouldn't be able to wield” Loki wondered what the hell Hades was thinking when he gave this kid the destructive infinite power of Dark Chaos to this Crown Prince

”But Ivery, I'm sensing that he's fully mastered all of his abilities” Loki narrowed his eyes and looked at Luther

”He's also a Infinite attribute holder like you” Loki sensed Luther's magical prowess

”He is..?” Ivery looked at Luther

”He holds the power of Dark Chaos, gifted to him by the God of death, Hades” Loki pointed his paw towards Luther

”His powers are more deadlier than yours” Loki felt a strong and deadly aura coming from Luther

”Since he's fully mastered his Infinite ability, he's able to use his powers without any signs or warning, currently he's someone you can't afford to meet right now, you're still in training of the infinite arts” Loki didn't even want to meet someone like him

Shivers ran up Ivery's spine, and vowed to herself that she'd never think about getting close to that boy, but it wouldn't hurt to admire him from afar... she tossed the idea of marriage out of her head, she wouldn't survive an hour as his wife! As Ivery was looking down she saw a pretty girl run down from the stairs, her long, fair and brown flowing behind her, her eyes as green as emeralds.

She latched herself onto Crown prince Luther and kissed him on the lips. Loki and Ivery's eyes widened and their mouths opened in shock as they saw this girl suddenly kiss that ruthless Crown prince. They wouldn't be surprised if he killed her right then and there.

Ivery and Loki were about throw up blood at the sight. Wasn't he engaged to Princess Xia?!

”Can we go back now, I might faint if I see anymore” Loki had enough shock today

”This is too interesting, I want to know who that girl is” Ivery stroked her chin

”Seriously!?” Loki exclaimed

”Princess Xia, give the Crown Prince of Fresia some space” Cassandra coldly said from the top of the stairs

”Forgive my rudeness, your excellency” Princess Xia sucked her teeth and bowed politely to the Empress

”She's Princess Xia!?” Ivery shouted

”She looks absolutely nothing like the Emperor and Empress” Ivery scratched her head

”She's not Empress Cassandra's daughter, she's the daughter of one of the Emperor's concubines, she probably took after her mother” Loki looked at Princess Xia

”Oh” Ivery wasn't that surprised

Ivery and Loki decided they wanted to leave, Ivery wanted to explore this world a bit and couldn't do that with those pesky maids at Hollow's Castle. Just as they were about to leave Ivery noticed that the Crown Prince was looking up at Ivery and Loki who were flying above them. Ivery and Loki's blood froze and their hearts stopped beating as Luther Vandell was looking right at them.

Luther jumped up and flew up to Ivery and Loki. Did he know they were watching from above the whole time?! Luther looked at Ivery and Loki, he looked at Ivery again and saw her dirty white dress, and browned dirty shoes that were obviously once white.

”Who are you?” His cold purple eyes narrowed as he asked her of her identity, his cold gaze sending chills up and down Ivery's spine

Even though Ivery was scared beyond her mind, his voice was so sexy...seeming like a perfect lure into his obviously deadly trap. His godly handsome face right in front of her, slowly melting away her awareness...

”I'm Inanna” Ivery tried to fake a smile

”What house are you from?” Luther asked

”You'd be better off not knowing that” Ivery didn't want to tell him she was one of the many castaway princesses with no magical prowess

”I'm asking you because I want to know, now answer me” Luther said

”I'm from the Hollow's Castle” Ivery tried to keep up her fake smile

”You idiot! Why did you tell him that!?” Loki shouted in her ear

”He asked..” Ivery covered her ear

”I should kill you for saying that” Luther coldly laughed

The color drained from Ivery's face as she slowly backed away from Luther. Wait, why is she afraid? She can fight back, she's not powerless. Ivery's eyes that were once mixed with adoration and fear, shone with defensive rage. If he was planning on killing her, she's not going out without a fight. Her red eyes shone with a golden shade and her hands flickered with a golden pink glow.

”But I won't” Luther casually said

”You won't?!” Ivery and Loki were dumbfounded

.

.

”Give me your hand” Luther requested

”Why?” Ivery was skeptical

”Just give me your hand” Luther sighed

Ivery slowly extended her hand to him and he flipped her hand over and put two fingers on her wrist as if he was checking for a pulse. His eyes showed a bit of shock as he checked her magical prowess.

”....” Luther looked at Ivery with utter disbelief

”Ivery let's go..” Loki tapped Ivery's shoulder with his paw

”Alright” Ivery turned around and flew away from Luther

.

.

A black mist appeared next to Luther and formed in the shape of a cat as black as night, it's big eyes mixed with green and violet.
