บท 39: Trapped
"Phye!...stop!"Gaby called out from the darkness as he approached both the beast and his friend.
The Hell dog turned in his direction and came off Farhat but never stopped growling at him.
"He's a friend and I'll like you to treat him like one"Gaby cationed while patting on its fur.
The other demon gripped his neck with both hands,eye widened as he stood to his feet,his chest heaving,just coming to the realization of still being alive.
Farhat panted rentlessly as the whole ordeal replayed in his mind.
"Hhhgggghhhh...hhhggh...I almost died"
He turned to Gaby
"I...I almost died_"
"But you are still alive".
"That was so close oh my goodness!...I thought I_"
Farhat shifted his gaze to the beast and for the first time he took a good look at it,the flame in Gaby's hand letting him observe it's black fur and altitudinous height.
It was a few inches taller than Gaby pretty huge for a dog's size he knew while growing up.
He pointed at it and turned to Gaby.
"That thing almost killed me!"
"I'd advise you put down your hand before he takes ur arm first...you are agitating him".
Farhat swiftly withdrew his hand as he watched his friend pat tenderly on it.
"Are you even on my side?"
"Am not taking sides Farhat we have to get out of here"
"Where next from here?"
Gaby grinned sheepishly as he brought out the teleporting device.
"Dark hunting".
**************************
Gerhald sat under a tree patting on ju,his spirit guard as he watched Athena train her students all evening.
After the meeting he had told her he would wait till after her lessons.
He had come with questions and from the way she paused constantly to steal glances his way,he knew his presence only uneased her.
The thought of it only made him smile and he only did when she looked his way.
With the way she played girly always in his presence and how she would secretly steal glances his way frequently even in meetings,sometimes even hold her gaze on him for a long time.And anytime he looked her way she would avert it.
When he looked away he would sense her gaze upon him again,Gerald had always thought she was attracted to him.
Stares like this only made him uncomfortable but he was getting used to it now.
Even if this knight was attracted to him it least suprised him for a lot of women were.
The Chief knight was quite the attractive lady, same height as he with a perfect feminine figure but she wasn't his type.
He preferred a more lady like woman than a warrior yet he couldn't help but acknowledge her beauty.
Sometime ago prior to Luamisa's death he would conclude falling for her if he let himself do so not impossible but now he only saw her as a cold blooded murder,a monster in the guise of an angel.
Gerald knew little about the woman but had never heard anyone speak Ill of her instead it was the other way round.
Every one commended and the knights he knew loved her and looking at her she didn't look like the murderer type.She looked rather refined and compassionate but then that wouldn't change the fact he had blood impringed on her hands,why did she do it?
Gerald watched her patiently train her students,corrected them,smiled and cheered whenever the student performed exceedingly well in training as she hand coached them.
From where he sat she sure looked like an angel,that innocent smile perhaps faked.
An angel yet a devil.
Fourteen young boys in total trained with her today, would she also murder these young ones as she did her squire if they discovered more of her secrets?
Gerald was getting tired from sitting for a long time but was relieved when he saw the students disperse till she was the only one one the field.
Athena walked towards him,pulled a seat and sat across from him.
She Crossed her legs,folded her hand and looked into his eyes.
"Well you wanted to see me,here I am".
"Yes I do have questions for you"Gerald said.
"Good...go on".
Gerald leaned back and his eyes hardened.
"Luamisa stabbed herself is that correct?"
"Yes she did...I told you earlier why this interrogation then what else do you want to hear?"
Gerald raised his index finger to his lips to silence her.
"You're out of your mind"the chief knight snapped and stood to her feet.
"You have no choice but to comply chief knight unless you desire this news reaching the Emperor with the conclusion I drew from my observation and investigation"
He let out a hand, motioning her to her seat.
Athena scoffed and slowly took her seat.
"Good...good now you act like a real knight following orders_"
"I don't take orders from you...consider my sitting here to discuss this with you as respect for the Emperor"
Gerald laughed scornfully as Athena eyed him suspiciously,then he leaned forward with a finger pointing a her.
"Did you just say respect for the emperor?am not so sure you have such thing as respect for the Emperor nor am I so sure of your loyalty to him."
Anger immediately flushed on Athena's face as her brows furrowed.
"What exactly is that supposed to mean?"
She questioned sternly.
Gerald laughed and looked away.He noticed he had provoked her with those words and for some reason it amused him.
"Relax Chief knight...I am here to do the questioning not you"
Athena's patience was running out.
Everything Gerald said angered her and she felt he was doing so on purpose.
"That which I desire your response of is just simple question...did luamisa stab herself with that sword or some other sword?"
Athena's eyes grew wide,a bit shocked at the question but she tried not to show it.
He had found a lead if not he wouldn't be asking this.
What had he found and what did he intend confirming with her answer to this.
If she said'yes' and he had found something contray to her response would only put her in a more tight situation and saying no wasn't an option,he would know she was lying as she had already framed luamisa for her own death.
Her sword was the only weapon present at the scene.Gerald had seen the wound and she had died immediately yet why was he asking this.
She thought she had left him with that conviction.
What exactly had this knight found that made him curious about this.
Athena cleared her throat and put up a bold expression.
"Luamisa stabbed herself with her own sword...you saw her blood stained sword at the scene right?then why do you inquire this of me?"
Gerald stood up and suddenly clasped his hands.
He had heard exactly what he had expected to hear and her response had just confirmed every ounce of his suspicion.
"Then that's all for the questioning Lady Athena told you this would be quite the short session I must appreciate your patience and time...do have a wonderful evening"Gerald said faking a smile.
Then he went on his way, leaving a troubled Athena in her own closet of thoughts.
