Chapter Sixty six: THE DUEL 1 ( INTO THE DUNGEON 2)
” alpha are you sure about this?” Edward asked for the fourth time and I have no plan in answering any of his questions ” you should just take Luna away than to waste your time in such silly things, Jones is too weak for you to get into this duel ”
” I see ” eating the last piece of flesh I stand to my feet staring at the sky through the window, I feel something is happening, something that shouldn’t take place ” I find this duel a little fishy Edward ” looking at him I walk out of my mansion, towards the carriage ” Jones know how strong I have become, is just like asking for death so why will he still want this duel, I know he doesn’t fancy amor ”
” what do you do now alpha ”
” I have to fight, I can’t back down from that, it will reflect bad on my image ” turning around I face him ” what about Nolan, what’s taking him so long to come back with Brandon ”
” I have no clue alpha ” Edward mumble, looking worried ” you know how Nolan is, I won’t be surprised if he is dead or in a serious problem ”
“Hmm” stepping in the carriage I stop Edward from coming ” find Nolan, I have a bad feeling about his delay concerning this pressing issue, I don’t want him or Brandon dead ”
” okay alpha ”
With that the coachman start the carriage and off I went, the sun is just rising, I don’t know why am feeling so uneasy, is something happening with Betty, I don’t seem to understand myself, all these makes no meaning that’s why I plan to arrive early, that way I can talk to Betty before the duel, check if she is alright and safe.
” we have arrive alpha ”
Nodding to that I step down, moving straight to lady Morgana mansion, about stepping in before Bennett walk right into me, I have to hold her shoulder to stop her falling, those violet eyes look up at me with….with love?? I know that look anywhere ” Verdun ” she hug me which made me take a step back to balance myself ” you came to see me??”
” you have gone complete insane haven’t you ” shoving her back I frown ” where is Betty I want to talk to her ”
” she doesn’t wish to talk to you Verdun, only when you win will she step out ” Bennett smile then step closer, cycling her fingers on my chest ” but you can tell me what you want Verdun ” her hands move to my face but before she could touch me I caught it in mid air ” am all ears ” she finally mumble smiling, she look happy for no reason.
” tell me why you are so excited Bennett ” frowning I purred ” I have known you for a long time, only when you plan something evil and its going well for you that you look this happy ”
” wow ” he pull her hands from mine ” am not that wicked Verdun, am just happy because you are here” she look up at me ” am always happy when I see you ”
” you never sweet talk Bennett ” a smile appear in the corner of my lips ” are you trying to copy Betty, act fragile so that I can have a soft spot for you ??” Furrowing my brows I chuckle ” what nonsense, you disgust me always ”
” why” she half yell ” you seem to like Betty because she is sweet, loving, kind and fragile right…I can be that for you, I can be anything for you ”
” can you do anything for me??”
” yes, that too, anything at all ”
” then die “I frown ” I hate seeing this face of yours, die and get out of my sight ” I turn around towards the duel area but what she said stop me from moving any further ” you are the one dying not me ” she yell, I turn around only to see her fuming in anger.
” find someone else to bother Bennett, I have find my mate ”
” you said that when Elizabeth came but what did she do, she left you in pain but I stood by your side Verdun…you should be with me, pick me not anyone else but me ” Bennett appear in my front gaining a frown from me ” I will stop this duel the moment you pick me, we will go back to malgar, your mansion, your clan, I will be the Luna….am strong enough for that ”
” and Betty??”
” I don’t care what happen to her, all I care about is you, you choosing me ” she hug me, burying her face in my chest ” please, pick me ” closing my eyes i exhale, open then look at Betty room window, no light, it seem so dark, something is wrong somewhere, is she seriously ignoring me or Bennett is lying??
” tell me where Betty is??”
” I don’t know ” Bennett look up at me ” all she said is that she will see you after you win, she needs time alone to process some things ” frowning I study Bennett eyes before pushing her away from me.
” I don’t believe you but its fine, after the duel I will take Betty away, I know I will win this duel ”
” let’s see about that ” she frown ” if you won’t accept me the easy way than you will accept me the hard way, go ahead and fight but you won’t like the outcome ”
” go to hell Bennett ” with that I walk to the duel area, everyone around there, sitting and waiting for the fight to start, all these lazy bastards looking for entertainment, my gaze avert to Jones who is waiting patiently for my arrival.
” look who decide to show up ” Jones smile, he look happy, too happy to die if you ask me ” I thought you might have change your mind ”
” why will I do that ” smiling I take off my jacket ” when I can kill you in a blink of an eye ” frowning lady Morgana declare the fight to start, I look around but Betty is no where to be found.
She promise to show up.
What’s wrong.
Jones run towards my direction but before he could punch my face I hold his fist, stopping him, this isn’t how Jones fight, he isn’t putting his all in this, like he wish to die ” something is up ” squeezing his hand I frown ” you want to die that easy, what’s this about, I fought with you for a whole year, I know how strong your attacks are….is more like you want to lose and why is that Dracula ”
” you speak absurd things Verdun ” Jones growl in pain ” I want Betty that’s why am doing this, don’t fill your head with nonsense, why will I wish to die ”
” you tell me Jones ” frowning I let go of his hand ” I will give you what you wish Dracula, you will die today ” and with that his face light up which confuse me the more.
Do I fight or wait for Betty to show up first, I want her to see me win this or she is truly ignoring me?
What is really happening?

Chapter Sixty seven: THE DUEL 2 ( INTO THE DUNGEON 3)
Betty hold onto the wall in the dungeon as she limp as fast as she could, the duel must have started, knowing Jones, he won’t put much fight in this duel because he thinks if he dies he will get Verdun power which is foolish and stupid of him, how do I get out of this damn place, I can’t even see a damn thing, if only Verdun have marked me I should have just mind linked him since we will be connected.
The same injured feet step on another nail, this time I didn’t scream because I know it won’t amount to anything, lifting that same foot up, tears roll down from my eyes as I pull it out then throw it far away, sniffing I tear another piece of cloth from my dress and tie round it.
” what do you do Betty?” Asking myself I close my eyes, the sound of people cheering caught my attention, this only means that the duel has started, what if Verdun is wining, no he shouldn’t win, if he win everything he work for will be ruined, gone.
Ignoring the pains I start walking fast, almost running, the pains increasing each second I put my weight on it but I can’t stop now, I can’t lose Verdun, I refer to have injuries all over my body before allowing anything happen to Verdun ” oh God please help me, I know I haven’t prayed since mama lost her life but that was because you forsake us ” sniffing I keep running but suddenly stop when my both legs step on tiny nails, the next step I take has the same nails which only mean that it has been arranged that whoever is placed in here will die before leaving.
Tears roll down my face with each step I keep taking ” oh God don’t forsake me now, I need your help to pass this challenge, I need to save Verdun, help me” crying I bite my lower lip then try walking fast to pass this evil trial, dream walkers don’t heal as fast as other creatures, it takes a day before healing completely but right now I know am losing a lot of blood.
Missing a step I fall on the nails then scream, Luckily my eyes didn’t touch them, the whole dungeon is fill with my cries and scream, my thighs, arms and everything is basically in pains, severe pain ” I need help!!! Someone please help me out of here” my voice echo but no body came ” I need to save Verdun, help me ” I could feel myself losing consciousness, I try standing up but I couldn’t, I feel so weak and dizzy.
It took only three minutes before I pass out and then open my eyes again but this time in a beautiful forest, blinking I look around, trees, flowers. Birds and other creatures moving about, my gaze move to the river close by, a woman sitting and staring at it, her long dark hair brushed properly.
Am confused as to why am I?? Am I dead? Did I die on that nail but what about Verdun, he will lose his power if I don’t do something about it, if I don’t help him ” hello??” Calling out I move towards her ” hi, do you know where this is??” When she turn and look at me my heart skip a beat ” mama??”
Her green eyes fill with joy as she stand and pull me in for a hug ” you have grown so well Betty but why are you here? You shouldn’t be here now ”
” I think am dead mama but I can’t die now, Verdun needs my help ” I rush my words ” i need to stop this fight mama, I need to go back to him, I just can’t die now, I need to…” She shut me up the moment she place her finger on my lips.
” you are not dead my child ” mama pat my hair gently ” just sleeping but since you are in a hurry to go back I will wake you up and take you to the exit of that dungeon, promise to take care of your brother for me? He seem to be in a serious problem, he needs your help ” Frowning I look at her confused, is my brother still alive, I thought he might be dead by now.
Before I could ask her anymore question I find myself in the dungeon, averting my gaze to my left the exist is right there waiting for me, she did help me, God used her and answer my prayers ” thank you ” crying I crawl, the strength to stand isn’t in me, crawling to the wall I slowly stand to my feet and limp, I keep limping ” Verdun!!!! ” the moment my gaze land on him I scream, Jones on the floor with blood all over his body, he might be dead ” Verdun!!!” Yelling, this made him suspend his fist in the air then look at me, his eyes darken from just that sight but right now, am more worried about Jones life not mine which may look like I care for him a lot.
The fight wasn’t what I expected, Jones just gave me three punches then allow me to Punch him to death, he is still alive that’s sure ” are you done?? Is that all you have ” he cough blood before mumbling that and smiling ” I thought you are stronger than this ” bending to his level I hold the collar of his shirt and give him the punch he asked for, five of these will guarantee his death.
He wish to die.
Am just doing him a favour.
The crowd keep cheering for me to kill him, their voice fill my head, ears and brain but it feels like someone else is calling me ” Verdun!! ” hearing that for the second time my fist suspend in the air and I turn to see my Betty limping towards my direction, blood all over her body.
Each step she takes leave a sign of blood, she look badly hurt, what happened to her? ” amor ” when she approach me I was surprise as she move to Jones not me, it did hurt me.
” he shouldn’t die, if he die, everything will go wrong, I won’t know what to do if Jones die ” she rush her words while she check his pulse, the whole place is quite so am I, just watching the drama unfolding and when I had enough I hold her hand and turn her to my direction.
” what’s wrong, why will you be sad if he dies, what if he die, so what??” Growling she shake her head, trying to catch her breath.
” Bennett…spell….Jones” she seem to be talking in circles ” if he die you lose everything” she mumble looking at me but I can see she is dizzy ” Jones to physician now” was her last word before falling into my arms, looking down at Jones I check his pulse, the heart beat is slow, not beating at a normal rate.
Standing up I lift Betty in my arms and look at Jones, how the fuck will I carry him ” somebody call the physician” when no body move I groan ” now!!!” And that got them to start moving around and within minutes the physician arrived with a moving bed, I follow him into the ward and drop Betty in the next bed.
Who might have done this to her? How did she get in this condition, she did talk about Bennett, a spell and Jones which means Bennett cast a spell but what spell and why is Jones in this equation, looking at him I ask the physician ” how is he??”
” his condition is critical, I don’t think he wants to live, he can die any minute from now ” looking at the physician I nod ” I need you to check on Betty, tell me how she is and what condition she is in now ” giving him space I move to the window then blow a whistle from my mouth, something that should reach Madeline as fast as possible.
” alpha she will be okay, she needs rest and time for the injury to heal, also needs to take some blood supplement which I will provide, excuse me ” I watch him leave the ward, moving towards Jones I stare at him, his lips in a smiling form ” you will not die, I will make sure of it ”
” and why is that ” hearing Bennett voice I close my eyes, fighting the irritation coming my way, the temptation if you ask me.
” I heard you place a spell on him ” turning to her direction I frown ” and then you did this to Betty, what do you think I will do to you Bennett, how do you want to die? ” watching her chuckle I clench my fist.
” cast a spell?? On Jones” she chuckle ” give me a break Verdun, if I want Jones dead I will just do it on my own, what will I gain from his death ”
” you tell me Bennett ”
She shake her head ” I have had enough of you, I need Jones body and I will be out of here ”
” not if am here ” growling I step closer to her while she step backwards ” you will not take anyone’s body out of this room, right now I need you to leave, just walk away and don’t look back but if I find out you did this to Betty ” I fake a laugh before slapping her at the face, a simple slap cause her to fall down and cough blood ” I will kill you myself ” I watch as fear register in her eyes before she vanish, I know she is the cause of Betty condition but I love my prey to run, to try and escape before I eat them slowly
Only that thought bring smiles to my face.
