Chapter 2

Ragren stood shocked at this site. Suddenly Scarlett lunged forward aiming the blood blade in her right hand at his throat. He quickly dodged to the side only to find the blade extending at an incredible speed. A wall of flames burst up in front of him evaporating the blood. The slaves cowered as close to the electric fence as they could without being shocked. Ragren burst flames from his feet propelling himself with his battleaxe in hand. He swung it at Scarlett's throat but was blocked as Scarlett lifted her arm to form a sheild from her blood. The force of the strike however, was powerful enough to send Scarlett flying backwards crashing into the electric fence. Electrical current filled her body tearing apart her skin as blood burst out of her and rained to the ground. Her legs were barely attached to her body. She looked upwards at Ragren unable to focus on him. Her head was ringing. She had never felt this type of pain before. It was almost intoxicating to her. The thrill of a fight against the man who put her through hell. For the first time in all these years, she could actually defend herself against him. Her body was mending itself, due to her newly awakened Serith. Ragren slowly walked towards her. Her body could not heal itself fast enough. Ragren encased his battleaxe in flames. He held it in one hand and put his palm on the bottom of the handle. With a controlled burst of his fire, Ragren's battleaxe shot foward like a bullet. Scarlett moved out of the way in time to avoid a fatal blow but the battleaxe cut through her left arm. Blood exploded from where her arm had gotten chopped off. Scarlet was screaming in pain. She could barely keep herself concous. The stabbing pain threatened to kill her. She lifted her arm and shot bullets made from her blood aimed at Ragren. He put his hands on the ground and a wall of flames burst up evaporating the blood bullets.

"You wretched little bitch. It's time for you to die. And I'll fuck your lifeless corpse every night. I'll keep it warm in between the thighs" Ragren screamed.

"L-Like hell... I-I'll let... That happen... I'll rip...my body apart... " Scarlett said in agony. If she is meant to die here, she won't let him keep having his way with her after she's dead. Scarlett thought to herself.

"Oh you worthless fucking cunt. You'll rue this day." Ragren uttered. Suddenly purple lightning struck the ground between them. A man fell down to the ground, and with his landing spikes of earth shot from the ground at Ragren. Quick burst of purple lightning shot from his hands. The earth beneath his feet rose and lunged the man forward. Ragren had never seen anyone other than the King with more than one affinity for Serith. He surrounded himself in a bubble of fire to deter the man. However lightning stuck him from all angles. A spike from the ground impaled him in the chest. He expanded his flames all over the courtyard, intending to burn everyone alive. He could survive his own fire but did not believe anyone else would. Ragren ceased the fire and saw that everyone was surrounded by a sheild of stone. The man that stood before him dissapeared faster than Ragen's eyes could see. Lightning in the shape of a knife now impaled Ragren's throat.

"After three years of trying to find you, I finally did it. I'm taking Scarlett back home and letting the rest of your slaves free." The man expanded his lightning and cut Ragren's head clean off.

The man had Blonde hair down to his shoulders. Dark blue eyes filled with anger. He was incredibly toned. He wore a white shirt and blue jeans. His shoes were simple black tennis shoes. He walked over to Scarlett and tears of joy filled her eyes. "A-August? Is that you?"

"Yeah it's me. Your grandfather died a few months before I graduated. I've been looking for you for three years now. I'm so glad you're still alive. I see you have awakened your Serith. Let me heal you." August said solemnly. He grabbed her arm and reattached it back to her body. Within only a few seconds she was completely healed. Scarlett pulled him in and kissed him holding on to him tightly. When she pulled away August didn't know what to say.

"I'm, I'm so glad you came for me... all... all this time... I've been beaten... raped.... burned to a crisp... gotten pregnant nine times... had to abort all of them.... my.... my... best friend just had her... head... chopped off in front of me..... I.. I... " Scarlett choked on her words breaking down in August's arms. She could no longer speak on this matter. She looked up at him and pointed over to Trojan and Triana. "Could... you see if they're still alive? They had recently awakened Seriths and tried to fight Ragren to free everybody" Scarlett asked. Even though Trojan was the reason Ophellia was dead, he seemed to believe he could kill Ragren before Ragren hurt anyone else.

"Yeah, we'll need allies in this upcoming war." said August. He walked over to the pair and to his amazement they were somehow still alive, although just barely. He proceeded to heal them and shortly after they woke up.

"Who the hell are you, a Noble? And how the ever living fuck are we alive?" asked Trojan. He looked behind the man that stood before him and saw Ragren's head on the ground. And Triana noticed this as well.

"Did, you actually kill the master?" asked Triana. She didn't understand why she still called him master.

"Yeah I did. Scarlett said you two put up a good fight. What Serith do you have affinity for?" August questioned.

"I have a wind Serith and my girl has a dark Serith" Trojan stated. "Although how did you know who Scarlett is? She's just a nobody and you're clearly a Noble." spoke Trojan rather puzzled. August then laughed. Triana and Trojan couldn't understand why he would laugh In such a situation

"On the contrary kid. I'm the nobody and she's the Noble. She is Scarlett Cianis and I'm just a peasant from a village." explained August.

"Wait, a Noble was born without Serith? Wait. NOBLES WOULD ACTUALLY SELL THEIR OWN KIDS?!?" screamed Trojan and Triana in unison. Scarlett walked over to them and then slapped Trojan and grabbed him by the throat, tears streaming down her face.

"Ophellia, is DEAD because of you. Just because you couldn't keep your mouth shut you worthless fucking BASTARD." Scarlett raised her fist and a blood burst from her hand, forming a knife. August grabbed her arm and shook his head. Hatred blinded Scarlett's Thoughts. "I hope your ready to get worked to death kids, cuz you're joining me on my quest to kill the king" Scarlett stated. The area grew silent.

"Scarlett, the Cianis household has already been devising war plans to take out the king. Your mother and father have rued the current system since you were sold to Ragren. We have to take out the other households first. And acquire those who share our cause. War is soon to erupt.
