Chapter80: I want to live!

She walked for a while before she stopped out of the blue. He stopped to look to look at her.

"-what's…

-don't tell me I have to take stairs. Where are we going anyway?

-well our little prisoner is awake and if you hurried up and finish interrogating her you won't be late for your training session with Ayana." He winked and left her behind.

She took a deep breath and fortunately the stairs wasn't that long.

Miranda was tied to a chair in a dark room only the moon light slightly glimpsing through the small window with three almost dead candles in the corners.

She looked up at them and started laughing with her bruised face.

"-did you hit her?

-no but I guess Vernon did.

-our cute couple are here finally." She yelled earning their attention.

Kieran pulled a chair in front of her.

"-listen Mira, I will get over the fact you betrayed my trust and the other things you did if you tell me who you are working with.

-do you think she is that stupid to tell you?" Mal interrupted him with her arms crossed leaning the door of the dungeons door with her eyebrows raised.

"-probably you should listen to your little sweetheart, she is smarter than I thought.

-First I am not he is little sweetheart and…

-Mal we will discuss this later." She rolled her eyes before she finished.

"-since you don't want to tell us who you are working with can I at least know why you did it?

-jealous?

-no sweetheart but I have a problem with stalkers and shapeshifters like you.

-him" Miranda answered looking straight into Kieran.

"-what did you do this time Kieran?" Malin asked firmly and he raised his hands in defeat.

"-he don't have to say nothing.

-what do you mean?

-what do I mean! He is a jerk he only wants you for himself, he rejected me for a pathetic bitch like you!" Kieran punched her face. He pulled her hair so that she can look at him but she was smiling.

"-I warned you if you talked about her in a bad way I will end you in the worst way you could ever imagine." He said with a dark tone and mal just was looking at him.

"-end me for her. Do you think she even care about you?

-do you care about him?" Mal asked and Kieran looked at her confused.

"-that's not…

-I asked you, do you care about him?

-I do more than you ever could.

-if you really care about him, then tell us who sent you to kill him.

-I am not that stupid to tell you who sent me but I wasn't sent to kill him but you supposed to be dead instead.

-so you wanted a free invitation to the party.

-I was offered to stay with him the only condition I had to look like you.

-and Louis he helped you out?

-well yes and no, he didn't like the fact he had to look like Kieran to keep you away but getting his family thrown was tempting that killing wasn't a problem for him anymore.

-I see." Mal walked slowly and put a chair next to Kieran and her arm around his neck and her hand caressing his cheek.

"-I could have felt sorry for you if he mistreated you but you mistreated yourself honey.

-as if you are not? He is using you to get to the thrown and once he is done he will throw you out as if you haven't existed.

-you wish." Kieran said and pulled Mal by her waist, their body stuck to each other and her head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

Miranda wanted to rip her apart but she couldn't free herself.

"-what makes her better than me?

-I told you Mira there is no way to compare between star and dirt. She will always remain better than you.

-I expected you to be smarter than like a woman who despise your kind in her bones.

-I agree but he is an exception sweetheart. I would do everything for him to make him happy.

-you are lying!

-am I? You want a prove that I truly love him." Mal turned and raised his chin looking straight in his eyes.

"-don't you dare!" Mal smirked and Kieran almost lost it.

"-anything for you love." They closed their eyes and leant for a kiss.

"-stop! No! Don't kiss him." She yelled before she finished:"- okay I will tell you just stop!" they both stopped and looked at her.

Mal stood up grinning.

"-so, who is it?" Miranda started to cry. Mal was shocked but Kieran didn't care the slightest.

"-I can't I am sorry. He will kill me if I say anything.

-don't worry the only thing you should worry about is Mal losing her patience. He can't get to you." Kieran said crossing his legs. He stood next to Mal to say something but someone got in.

"-your highness the king is calling for you.

-tell him I am busy.

-he said it's urgent and you have to come." Mal caught his protest and assured him she will be fine.

He left bitterly and when no one was looking he get the guardian lost his consciousness and went back to Mal.

He stepped aside to hear their conversation and watch the seen.

"-if you cooperate with me I will assure no trial, and you can go your separate way.

-you don't know him he is everywhere.

-just tell us a name and I will do anything in my hand to protect you.

-I can't please leave me alone and I promise you will never see me again.

-but I need to know!

-and I want to live!

-you choose, let him save you then." Mal put the blade in her neck.

"-one cut from this blade, will keep you in pain for three days that you would wish for death but you won't have it.

-I will die after three days and feel relieved.

-you could but you can't. I have the antidote and I will gladly give it you every three days and make another cut till you decided to tell us who sent you.

-you won't do it.

-trust me I have done worse than that and thankfully, I am so patient with my guests. Just hope you have stamina to handle my generosity. "Mal stepped and placed a bottle at the end of the room.

She looked at her side and saw two red eyes glowing, she smirked at him.

She walked slowly to her and made a cut on her face.

"-Mal please I beg you!

-you don't have to make it harder on you just tell me his name.

-he will know.

-he can't get to you unless he came to you himself.

-it's…" a loud scream echoed in the room. Mal jumped and Kieran barged in.

"-please stop! Stop!"

She was screaming and hitting her head on the wall behind her.

"-did you do this?

-isn't it your poison?

-I was lying there is no poison.

-hold on." Kieran tried to get in her head.

He slowly dropped on his knees and when Miranda stopped her head smashed from behind while Kieran fainted.
