Chapter 149: After hell broke- Part 7
“He must have found you unworthy to be his son. You were a mere human with dormant vampire gene. Must have been really unfortunate,” Nicholas pushed his buttons, enjoying the rage that marred over Dorian’s face right now, “To not have a father’s love. I adored him,” so much that Nicholas killed his father by himself.
“Well, this was dandy talking about our dear father. My bad, my father. Before we head to my pets I have one last thing I want to do,” Nicholas walked to stand near Dorian and in a flash, he pulled an eyeball from the man’s skull, “How does it feel to be blind with an eye? Or maybe two,” he picked out the other eye, squishing it with his hand.
Calling his men to unchain Dorian, he was dragged to where the butler had been asked to go. Once they reached there, Nicholas took a good look at the man who had been beaten and bashed. Not wanting to give the satisfaction of what Dorian had tried to do with Heidi, he had never brought up the matter knowing well the man would only jab him just like he did. Instead, he enjoyed torturing the man along with his butler but probing every piece of metal available.
“Do you hear it, Dorian?” Nicholas asked when the wolves barked at the available dangling meat which was available as blood dripped down two bodies, “They are my most prized possession. I grew them up myself. Stanley, knife please,” the Lord opened his hand to have a knife immediately placed there.
The lord was quick to cut the hand of Dorian which was until the wrist. Throwing it to the wolves, he said, “I definitely hate this hand the most,” he tched and then looked at the lady who stood shell shock, “We should call it a day. Put them both in there.”
Luckily for Heidi, she had gone to the Meyers house to spend time with Lettice and visit Howard’s grave, the man who worked for the Curtis’ family. During the search in Duke Dorian’s mansion, the old man’s body was found to be rotting in the Scathlok’s garden. With Nicholas help, Heidi had then got the man buried in Bonelake with rituals so that his soul could rest in peace. By the time she had returned, Nicholas had thoroughly enjoyed seeing his wolves eat both the bodies until there were only bones left. Three weeks passed and it was only today that Nicholas had agreed to let Heidi take a visit out of the Rune mansion, for valid reasons. Getting back to the mansion, she was greeted by Nicholas’ arms that wound around her waist.
“How was your visit?” asked Nicholas placing a kiss on her neck which now bared the choker like mark.
“It was good. Lettice has started gardening in the backyard of the mansion. How was your day?”
“Pretty recreational,” he confessed letting her go to only catch hold of her hand and bring it up to his lips, “I missed you,” he kissed the back of her hand.
“I did too,” her smile was soft and sweet. They walked a few steps when Heidi spoke again, this time her voice a little quiet, “Nick?”
“What is it?” he tilted his head in question.
Taking a deep breath, she then said, “I think I am ready,” Nicholas stared at her and then answered back, “Alright. I will ask Stanley to get the carriage ready.”
When Heidi went to the room, his room which they shared now, Nicholas went towards his study room which was being modified or rather rebuilt as everything was broken and destroyed. The week he had found Heidi missing with no answers of where she could be, he had gone rampage in his room. Taking out his anger on every single object and furniture he could find. It had driven him mad when all the efforts put into finding her had resulted in nothing but no findings.
“Master,” Stanley who was getting the furniture fixed in the room came to him.
“Get the carriage ready. Heidi and I will be back tomorrow,” Nicholas ordered his butler.
After few hours of journey, Heidi stepped out of the carriage to look at the side walls that surrounded the buildings that were inside it. She felt Nicholas squeeze her hand gently in encouragement and she smiled thankfully that he was here with her now. Coming back to the Rune mansion she had wished not to come back at this dreadful place but there were few things that needed to be settled and deep down she knew if she didn’t do it now, it would always scratch her mind. She couldn’t run away from what had happened and all she could do was face her nightmares.
“You know you don’t have to do it,” Nicholas spoke standing next to her.
“I know,” she nodded her head, “But I think I need a closure to all of this.”
When the door gates opened to the slave establishment, they stepped inside, “I need to talk to the head guard about something. Why don’t you go ahead? I will be close by,” Heidi began walking through the building, walking through the corridors where slaves were locked in each cell. She, who had been walking in the slave clothes before now walked in an expensive dress through the same corridors she did three weeks ago. After she came to the cell with a familiar face, her sister, Nora jumped on her feet to stand near the bars.
“Oh my God, sister! You are finally here!” Nora cried, tears already filling up her eyes at the thought that she was finally being rescued, “I am so glad to finally be able to see you.”
“How have you been?” asked Heidi in concern.
“I-I don’t know. This place, this place is not right. Please take me out of here soon. I wanted to talk to you sooner but the lord didn’t let me. Nobody lets me here too,” she wailed.
“Don’t worry, Nora. Life will get better soon,” she consoled Nora.
“Thank you! Thank you! I knew you would come here for me,” her sister wiped her tears out.
“I have meaning to come here,” Heidi stated. She looked at the state her sister was in, the tattered clothes she wore and the bruises that had begun to form on her forehead and her left arm. She never wished something like this to happen to her sister but after she found out from Nicholas that her sister had sent men to kill her and had instead killed a maid at the Meyers mansion, that was the last straw.
“Where are the guards? How long is it going to take for them to come to open the damn lock. People here are really stupid and brash. I mean they do anything here,” Nora’s mood had already begun to brighten up at the lone of leaving the establishment.
“I am sorry, Nora,” Heidi apologized to get a puzzled look from her sister, “I didn’t come here to take you with me.”
“What...?” Nora whispered, “What do you mean by that?! We are sisters, you are supposed to help me out of here!”
“If you truly thought of us as sisters this day would have never come. You dug your own grave, Nora,” Heidi took a step back when Nora tried to put her arm out in between the iron bars.
“Heidi, please!! Don’t do this to me. Please don’t leave me here! I will really die!” falling on the ground, her sister sobbed, “No!”
“I hope you enjoy these walls until someone feels you’re worth buying. Better you than I, right sister?” Heidi smiled repeating the words Nora had used on her, the smile holding sadness before she turned a deaf ear to the pleas of her sister and walked away from the cell and the establishment.
