    Chapter 172 She Would Never Be Free


    “Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I


    clear?” He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through


    the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.


    Before Ada could steal a frightened nce at her mother, the male’s boots appeared


    in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her.


    It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her


    into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her


    mother’s boots dangling above the ground.

    “Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon


    you all those years ago.” the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of


    Narcissa struggling for breath.


    His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small


    movement but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother’s feet across the


    expansive room as the male strolled leisurely along holding her aloft in the air by her


    neck.


    “I have such an exquisite array of punishments lined up for you my dear. You’re going


    to have so much fun. But, you know how easily I get bored dishing these…


    ‘necessities’… out myself… so I brought some friends…”


    A whimper escaped from Narcissa’s lips as she gasped for air and looked upon the


    impassive face of her master, Lord Eromaug. No pride shone in those empty pools


    anymore as he looked at her, only thinly veiled disdain.


    “How foolish of you to give my precious gift away so easily, Narcissa… and to such


    a… weakling.” he tutted in irritation as he stopped just outside of the roiling clouds of


    shadow and pulled her closer to him, so that their faces were almost touching.


    “You have brought my coven into disrepute, failed in your assigned tasks, and failed to


    take responsibility for all of the failings thaty with you. As much as I will enjoy


    reaping the payment from you, I must admit that even I am a little disappointed. You


    had such promise.” He sighed, his nostrils ring angrily momentarily before he


    settled his face back into one devoid of emotion.

    He watched Narcissa gasp for air a moment longer, almost as if he were savoring the


    sight andmitting it to memory before a grin spread across his face and he


    abruptly continued towards the ominous sounds concealed within the darkness.


    Narcissa could heart hem, his favored daemons, scuttling about in the darkness and


    she knew exactly what he had nned for her.


    She had foolishly lost his magick when Lord Brarthroroz tore it from her during her


    interrogation. It was one of the worst crimes that she could havemitted and now,


    she would pay the price that he, and his daemons, demanded from her body and her


    soul.


    Ada watched, trembling with a terrifying mix of anticipation and fear as her mother


    disappeared into the darkness, their figures appearing as if they had been swallowed


    as the writhing cloud closed over them and left no trace of their passage.


    It was only secondster that the screams began and Ada knew without a doubt that


    her mother would never be the same again.


    Seconds turned into minutes and minutes seemed to turn into hours. Ada had


    as silent tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Narcissa’s bone-chilling screams had seemed to go on forever at first, but when they


    finally died down and the echoes of the screams subsided, the heavy silence was


    punctuated by stomach-churning sounds of flesh squelching and guttural grunts.


    The cycle of screams and silence seemed to repeat almost endlessly. Her best guess


    was that Narcissa had passed out at some point which ounted for the silence, and


    then when she awakened, the hair-raising screams began again.


    As much as Ada wanted to cover her ears and block out the sounds of terror, she


    couldn’t. She wasn’t certain, but beyond the curtain of murky darkness, she could feel


    the sinister gaze that focused intently on her as she hunched over in position.


    She could just be paranoid in her assumptions at this point, but she didn’t dare risk it.


    That beautiful man was clearly capable of true horrors beyond her imagination, and


    she wouldn’t put her unborn child’s life at risk. Long after Ada’s trembling had


    subsided and her tears had dried up, the figure of the beautiful male had appeared


    through the darkness, striding nonchntly towards her with something clutched in his


    hand at his side. Whatever it was, the object trailed along the floor behind him, leaving


    a glistening streak of unknown color behind it along the roughly hewn dark stone


    surface of the cavern.


    He came to a stop in front of her and Ada unthinkingly raised her head to stare up at


    him nkly as he lightly tossed the object on the ground in front of her.


    “You coped far better than I thought you would.” Lord Eromaug smirked, “I presumed


    you would run to the door and attempt to w your way out like a frightened little


    rabbit.”


    Ada blinked slowly at him and said nothing.


    This was nothing but a game to him. Whatever she chose to do would most likely be


    the wrong answer anyway.


    She attempted to lower her head and avert her eyes, but she suddenly felt her chin


    pinched between his fingers as he forced her to meet his gaze.


    “This is a lesson for you as well Ada.” Lord Eromaug said softly, almost lovingly as he


    held her gaze confidently. “Your mother was fully aware of the punishments she would


    receive in the event of her failure, and yet she returned anyway. This same fate will


    await you if you are disobedient in anyway, do you understand?”


    Ada nodded dumbly before he let go of her head roughly and her gaze fell to the


    mangled, bloody messid motionless in front of her.


    She was vaguely aware of Lord Eromaug summoning Ely and hisughter echoing in


    the chamber as she stared nkly at the mess in front of her.


    When the realization hit that this was what remained of her mother, Adaughed. A


    manic sound that echoed around the chamber and continued even as Ely led her


    away.


    There was no saving herself or her child.


    She would never be free.
