My Beast (✔️)

Chapter Sixteen

I woke up in an all to familiar cell but I wasn't alone this time. Seb was with me.

"Council wants to see them now." A voice said from outside the cell.

"Where do we take them?"

"Downstairs."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Alright then."

We were both handcuffed before being drug out. The two men took us down a set of steps to a big empty room which only contained a few tables and two torture like chairs.

They threw us in the middle of the room and uncuffed us.

"Good to see you again." A voice said.

The Council members appeared in front of us.

"What do you want?" I asked scooting closer to Seb.

"You know what we want Davina."

"I won't let you kill me."

"You won't have a say in the matter." One said just as a man headed my way with a knife.

He got a few feet away from me before shadows suddenly surrounded me. They were the shadows from that night in the woods.

"What the....?"

The man tried to walk closer but he couldn't. He then tried throwing the knife at me but it just fell to the ground.

"What are those things?" The Witch Council member asked.

"Shadow Demons." The Demon Council member answered.

"Order them away." She ordered so he did but they didn't move.

"I-I can't. They won't listen to me." He said making Seb laugh.

"They only obey one person and it ain't you."

"Beast." The man growled.

"Bingo. He's ordered them to protect her."

"How is that possible?"

"They know he's superior to them and you so they listen. Plus he tied them to her."

I glanced down at my ring and saw that the ruby had turned black. They were tied to the ring.

The Council also noticed.

"Take off the ring." The wolf said.

"No." I hissed at him.

"Very well then." He said motioning to Seb.

Two men stepped forward and grabbed Seb. They took him over to one of the chairs and tied him up.

"Take off the ring or wizard boy gets it."

"Don't do it Davina." Seb said. "I'll be fine."

I didn't remove the ring.

One man then stabbed Seb in the leg with a knife and dragged it down. He cried out in pain causing tears to form in my eyes.

"Take it off!"

"No Davina." Seb said.

A stab to the other leg.

"Off!"

"No!!"

Stab to the arm.
