❤️ My Hostage (Part 9) ❤️

"I don't care," Storm said.

"You know what I am saying is the truth Storm,"

"I am always careful."

"But not that careful enough."

"You are not my mother."

"But my father trained you."

"That is why I haven't killed you yet."

"Time is going and time is no longer on our side. We need to find your father's killers, bring them to book and get the hell out of here," Gwen said. "And do you know that Morgan and I kissed, but not the way you were with Rumi, and then his mother interrupted us and then he insulted me right in front of his mother. He doesn't want his mother to know that deep down he feels something for me."

"So how is that now my problem?"

"He is your brother,"

"From another mother."

"Are you even listening to me? I just said he insulted me right in front of his mother and I don't like it."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"For a second time, he is your brother," Gwen said, keeping her anger in check. "One minute he was apologizing and then the other minute he was insulting me, if not that he is related to you and that I still love him I would have cut him into tiny pieces and forced him to eat it."

"How can a dead person eats his own flesh, you remember cutting him into pieces don't you?" Storm asked as he did the calculation in his head.

"Should I start with you to show you how a dead person would eat their flesh."

"You are right though Gwen," his voice, getting serious now. His playful side Gwen sees once in a blue moon was gone and replace by his coldness "Staying here much further will make them realized I have more than one gift which I don't know why I even have them," he added getting up to his feet and look at the two chairs which disappeared. Using his left leg he covered the meatloaves on the ground with sand. "Do you know how I hate to pretend to have eyes for the throne whereas I don't. I hate reminding them of having my father's gift. Father didn't die a natural death, he was slain by who I don't know but I will find out. And then again, something fishy is going on. Last night I sensed the presence of someone close to me, watching me and when I opened my eyes. I couldn't see the person. and believe me it's not Morgan or Fred, it is someone else."

"Don't worry Storm, you have me guiding your back and besides whoever the person is hasn't met the angry you," Gwen said as she placed one of her hands around his shoulder. "Don't worry the path to our future is smooth." she added, staring at the wall before them.

"What are you staring at?" he asked as he saw Gwen staring at the wall as if she saw something.

"Our bright future when we are taking down our enemies together, don't tell me you don't see the picture right there in front of you."

Storm stares at the wall for a minute, "I don't see anything, It's just a wall," he said as he hit Gwen in her head like she did to him a few minutes ago. "And you are too close to my likely." he added, removing Gwen's hand from his shoulder and turning and started walking away.

"But if it is Juno that did that now you won't complain and last I remember she was the one doing the complaining and not you."

"Just shut up Gwen."

Gwen laughed and ran up to meet Storm.

Emera House:

Rumi was never angry as she is right now. It clearly showed in her face when she entered her room and saw Sarah on her bed.

"Let me guess it didn't work?" Sarah asked.

"It could have worked if that stupid glue of his didn't come."

"Juno?" Sarah asks again.

"Not Juno, and Juno is not my match. I am talking about a girl Storm came with, her name is Gwen. I hate her."

"You always gate everyone Rumiana except Storm."

"If she didn't intervene Strom would have made love to me and I would have been victorious but no, she just came out of nowhere and interrupted us and Storm pushed me off his lap."

"Gwen? Who is she? You didn't show her to me when I followed you to the Palace."

"She wasn't an obstacle then and why will I show her to you when our primary focus was on Storm. Storm ate the Meatloaves I made and even called me Beautiful."

"To be sincere, I was surprised that the love portion would catch him and yet it did and secondly, you need to remove your obstacle out of your way."

"I will, I just need time to think of how her punishment will be."

"You don't need to think, Rumiana. You have the powers, you are a sorceress just like me, powerful, you can make anyone bow down to your knees."

"I forgot to tell you, I sent one of my fires to Juno but it was sent back to me."

"What?"

"It was sent back to me, I don't know how Juno managed to do that," Rumi said. "I don't even know how she survived. I made sure she almost gave up the ghost when I pushed her down the hole I saw at the top of the mountain. I didn't know what made me do that, I could have finished her off once and for all."

"And you didn't and now she is back, to take back what you stole from her."

"Her memory is gone, which is good, but I want her dead."

"You've got to focus on one at a time, who do you want to eliminate first before jumping to another."

"Has the spell worn off by now? If not, that means I still have the chance to make Storm sleep with me."

"Since he was able to push you away then the portion has faded away."

"What am I going to do?" Rumi asked aloud to no one in particular. She was able to capture and cage the almighty mother of hers for many years. She was able to kill Juno- let her think it that way first- she was also able to make Emera useless so who the hell is Gwen that would stand as an obstacle between her goals? She has to think fast.

"I will be going for Gwen first before Juno. Let's just hope her lost memory doesn't resurface."

"That's good Rumiana, so when am I meeting Gwen?"

"Soon mother, very soon."

Prison Yard:

They entered their cells respectively and once they were alone, Kando who had regained his strength gritted his teeth towards Kira.

"Thanks for having my back. if not for your timely intervention I would have been a goner."

"At least you are still standing and talking perfectly well but thank the gods you appreciated my help."

"I am going to kill you once we get back."

"If I remember correctly Dean asked you to look after me, protect me. He didn't ask me to promote you. You should be thankful that your lover helped you," Kira said. "I helped us and you weren't so good at lying."

"We will argue about this later but let's think first. How are we going to kill them when that man nearly choke me to death by his looks."

"Storm, his name is Storm."

"Are you even listening to what I am saying?"

"I was and still am."

"We need to leave this place I can't stand the torture, me a whole Raven god brought to his knees. Who the hell is he?"

"Fallen Raven god who is serving my Emperor with his brother." Kira reminded him.

Ignoring her. "Kira, we really need to leave this place as soon as possible. We should do our job and get the hell out of here."

"We will do our job alright, let's not just hurry, so that we won't make any mistakes," Kira said with her eyes closed. Her mind wandered off to Storm and started thinking where she had seen such an alluring mismatched eyes before.

The gate to her cell opened and she saw herself being dragged out of her cell by two guards, each holding each of her hands.

"Where are you taking her too?" Kando shouted forcing himself not to tear down the cell separating him from the guards. He only mellowed down a bit when Kira signal to him not to make any move. He has forgotten who she is, these people didn't know who they were dragging away. Lord Kira.

Prince Morgan Room:

He was still thinking of Gwen when he got interrupted by the knock from his door.

"Who is it?"

"Your mother requested you come at once to the old training ground in the Palace," the guard said and he heard the retreating sound of his footsteps. Taking his sword, he left for the old training room. It was at the old training ground Emera had taught almost all the warriors in the palace 'extra place of training' that's what Emera normally called it. He arrived to see his mother, Fred and Warlord Marcus. they were the only people who were there, plus Juno.

"Why am I here again?" Kira asked for the tenth time.

"We are here to get the truth out of you," Empress Rose said.

"Well be my guest," Kira said sarcastically. "Just know that you are not getting any information from me, seriously speaking, you are barking at the wrong tree and you won't like the outcome of it."

"Shut up, we do the questioning and you better do well by answering us." Morgan spoke as he brought out his sword from his shealth and swung it expertly to each of his side. "I am going to beat and injure the hell out of you if you don't respond to our question and believe me no one will come to your aid."

"I am getting tired of repeating myself. Be my guest."

Morgan moved forward with speed towards Kira and raised up his sword and slash it down, before it could reach his mark, Storm blocked it and collected the sword from Morgan.

"What the hell is going down here?" Storm demanded angrily. "Am I not asking some people a question?" he asked again when no one answered him. He had seen when the guards were taking Juno towards here. Gwen had left to check on the other prisoner, to be sure he was okay, and he followed the guards here and was surprised by what he saw.

"I felt scaring her would make the truth come out of her quickly. Thank you for ruining my plan." Morgan spoke with a shrug.

"By fighting a harmless woman?" Strom said, still angry. "Let me make myself clear to you and to the rest of you. No one gets to interrogate Juno except me. I am the only one who will fight her, torture her and no one else. I hope I made myself clear," he added and threw the sword away and was happy he didn't punch Morgan on his face before he turned and started walking away from them.

"You just got lucky boy, I would have shown you how I dance with swords," Kira smirked at Morgan.

"Should I beg you to come with me? Or should I fight you to prove my point?" Storm asked over his shoulder as he came to a stop. Kira ran to meet him and together they left the old training ground.

Prison Yard:

Kando Cell:

Gwen had collected the keys that held Kando and had opened it. Seeing the way Juno was dragged she immediately thought Kando must be hurt too and now here she is. She saw him lying on the ground.

"Are you hurt?" She asked in concern.

"Yes," Kando said.

"I saw Juno and I thought maybe they hurt you," Gwen said, which earned a snort from Kando. "Where are you hurt?"

"All over my body." Kando responded.

Gwen moved closer to him and then knelt beside him.

"Where exactly?" she asked.

He suddenly grabbed one of her hands and used it to touch his growing hard-on that was begging for her touch. Gwen wasn't expecting that move so she fell on top of his body and blushed hard when she recognized what her hand was touching. She quickly snatched her hand from his and stood up, putting some distance between them.

"I was just thinking of you," Kando said, not minding the way Gwen was shifting away from him. He missed her body. "You were riding my co.ck as I fu.ck you so hard and then I opened my eyes and you are right here in front of..." he stood up from the ground with lightning speed and was standing much closer to Gwen and slowly caressed her face with his fingers. "You know I can take advantage of you right here right no-" he didn't get to finish the 'now' when he suddenly found himself on the ground with Gwen straddling him and he was liking it, her fist raised in the air and her other hand holding his neck.

"You better rethink those thoughts again."

"In my dream, this is how we were only that we have lesser clothes and was fucking each other brains out, Beautiful."
