49 Chapter 47: Were Done Here (2/2)
”Did you happen to see a girl, older than all of you, she's beautiful, has long blonde hair and red eyes?” Luther asked them with a description
”Oh yeah, one of the hags took her away.” A girl that looked to be 13 said
”Took her away?” Luther raised an eyebrow
”She fell asleep on the table before she finished her food, so the hag took her away.” A boy told Luther as he munched on buttered bread
”Where was she sitting?” Luther asked
”There.” The boy pointed at the empty chair with a plate of food on the table in front of it that was definitely eaten but a good portion of it was still untouched
Luther walked to the chair and looked down at the food on the table.

”Erebus.” Luther said
”Yes?” Erebus appeared beside Luther
”Check for anything abnormal in the food.” Luther ordered
”Alright.” Erebus hopped on the table and stepped close to the plate of food
He sniffed it and reached out and his paw made contact with the food.
He licked his paw and his eyes displayed a bit of shock.
”What?” Luther looked at Erebus, noticing the strange look he had
”It's some type of sleeping medicine, it's a large quantity though….although it is medicine, if too much is used, it can be poisonous…if she's not tended to carefully and immediately, she could die from the large amount of medicine used in this.”
Luther's heart dropped.
Although he did know if Ivery ever happened to die from something, she would be revived as long as Hecate is looking after her…
It didn't change the fact that she still would've died….and alone at that…and he wasn't able to be there for her to assure her that she'd be fine…
He wanted to give her comfort instead of fear…
”I can't let that happen.” Luther's body disappeared into a black mist
….
Ivery laid asleep in the cell.
The maid soon returned, with a sound of a cart rolling in.
On the cart was a pair of scissors, a long knife, clampers, and a bloodstained saw.
She opened the cell door and rolled the cart inside.
…
Loki instantly appeared beside Ivery in his human form.
”I advise you to stay away from her.” Loki menacingly glared at her
”W-Who are you!?” She backed up
”That's enough.” A voice said behind her
The maid turned around.
Luther held a scythe in his hand and instead of the usual smiling expression he always wore, this was an expression of pure anger.
”What were you going to use those tools for?” Luther asked
”W-What does it matter to you?!” She grabbed the long knife off of the cart and pointed it at Luther
”That's my fiancé in that cell there, and whatever you were about to do…prepare to get punished for it.” Luther threw his scythe at her
”Aughh!” She screamed as the scythe went straight into her torso
She fell to her knee's and blood gushed out of her chest.
”I've actually been trying to refrain from killing but writhing in agony suits you maids best…and recently….I can't seem to help myself after danger keeps surfacing for Ivery…” Luther walked towards the maid
He tore the scythe vertically through her body. Splitting her in half chest up. Her body collapsed on the ground with a splat, blood spilling from the body.
”Did you have to kill her that way?” Loki felt sick looking at the internal organs spill out of the upper head
”I had to get my scythe out of her.” Luther smiled
”Don't be a hypocrite, you know you've killed before too.” Luther dropped his scythe and walked to Ivery who laid on the cold floor of the cell
”Yes, but never like that..” Loki admitted
”Well, there's always different methods suited for each person.” Luther picked Ivery up
”If you say so…” Loki crossed his arms
”I'm taking her out of here..” Luther said
”Of course, why would you let her stay down here?” Loki raised an eyebrow
”No…I'm taking her out of the Hollow's Castle..” Luther shook his head
”What? But…she's supposed to stay here…that'll ruin her whole plan..” Loki said
”I don't care anymore…it's too dangerous to let her stay here anyways…she made a good point to me earlier today…Eos and Xia know's where she'll be at all times…and I don't like knowing and feeling that Eos can get to Ivery anytime she wants…” Luther told Loki
”And even these maids are a threat to her safety as well…if they will go to these extents to harm her…then I refuse to let her stay here any longer, regardless of the price.” Luther looked completely serious
”I understand that but what about Beatrice….the person who Ivery's doing this all for….if Xia finds out Ivery's not here anymore…Beatrice will be in danger and that'll crush Ivery..” Loki told him
”I personally don't care about what happens to Beatrice at all, I only care about Ivery…and her safety…if she won't prioritize her own life…then I will do it for her.” Luther determinedly looked at Ivery in his arms
….
Ivery lightly gasped…as if she couldn't breathe.
”Ivery?!” Luther's heart started racing
”This…isn't good…her vital organs are slowing down…” Loki scanned Ivery's body
”At this rate…she's going to die…again.” Loki told Luther
”No…” Luther felt like he failed her
”Is there anything I can do?!” Luther desperately asked
”H-Hecate will revive her…so maybe we can…let her…die?” Loki hated to say it but he was out of options
Luther furiously looked at Loki and that glare alone sent shiver's across Loki's entire being..
”I don't want to let her die again…” Luther gently laid her down on the floor
”You're going to try to heal her? I don't think it'll work since it's not an injury, illness or disease.” Loki shook his head
”I have to try something!” Luther's hands glowed with a green light and hovered over her body
”I could've given her the God tier healing pill…but.” Loki sighed
”God tier healing pill? Do you have that? Give it to her!” Luther shouted
”We used the only one I had on you…” Loki told him
”…..” Luther looked saddened once he heard that
Luther was conflicted…could he really let her die..?
