Azmaria Quest for Blood First Bloodline Chapter 1 Escape
Footsteps ran down the hallway as a little girl was breathing heavily with militia hot on her heels but she wasn't about to stop moving.
"Stop her! Do not let her escape!" Viktor shouted.
Militia outside got a warning to keep an eye out for a small child with jet black hair, red eyes, and wearing a right nightshirt attempting to escape containment.
She ran faster once she reached outside where more militia came after her, even firing a few bullets at her. Bullets whizzed past her until she met a dead end and turned around to see them surround her.
All of a sudden out of nowhere a black jaguar car barreled through most of them leaving her stunned at what she just witnessed.
Selene opened the door. "Get in quickly!"
Without hesitation, the girl entered the vehicle with this strange person but it was better than being a test subject for Viktor.
"Hang on tight little one! This ride will be a little bumpy from here," Selene commanded shutting the door.
The little girl put on her seatbelt as Selene revved up the engine and bulldozed her way through a roadblock that was placed to stop them from escaping. Selene kept driving until her car was no longer visible.
"Master Viktor the girl has escaped with Selene," Haller reported.
Viktor rammed his hand through Haller's neck, letting his blood rain down the clean floor before he fell backwards dead.
"I do not excuses from incompetent fools who can't catch a simple little girl. To think I actually got these idiots as a failsafe for just an occurrence like this one," Viktor said.
Viktor's son Damien stepped in the room where his father was looking out the window. Then he saw Haller's dead body and realized that she got away.
"So I'm guessing Azmaria is still out there?" Damien assumed.
"Yes and these so called militia can't seem to find her for whatever reason," Viktor said balding up his fists in anger and disappointment.
"Shall I go after them?" Damien asked.
Viktor turned around quickly at that request and backed his son up to a corner.
"I forbid you! Your powers are not going to be able to be sustainable especially someone like Selene," Viktor said coldly.
Damien felt scared at how badly his father wanted Azmaria and complete the testing.
"I apologize Father for questioning you," Damien apologized.
Viktor backed up a little to give his son space before a woman with dark blue hair, hazel eyes, wearing a red dress with a red hood attached to it.
"Ah Jasmine nice of you to join us. Would you kindly take Damien to his room please?" Viktor asked crossing his arms behind his back.
"Yes master Viktor," Jasmine replied bowing in respect before guiding Damien back to his room.
"Master Viktor shall I have Annabeth clean up?" Jasmine asked stopping at Haller's dead body.
"Yes please," Viktor responded going back to looking out the window.
Azmaria looked over to Selene who was focused on driving but had a smile like she accomplished something.
"Um thank you miss I really appreciate it," Azmaria felt grateful to be out of there.
Selene gave a slight nod and kept driving until they got to a hatch where her car could enter a garage place then parked it.
"Listen to me Viktor was going to do some severe and painful tests on you. I didn't want that happening so I saved your life," Selene explained the reason why she did that.
"I thank you," Azmaria said hugging Selene.
She returned the hug then left the car with Azmaria holding onto her tightly.
They went into a room where weapons of all kinds hung on walls and Selene's signature long black coat.
"Whoa," Azmaria said looking around in awe.
"Yes little one this is my weapons stash. All of these weapons in here are potentially dangerous so I don't want you to touch any of them," Selene warned.
Azmaria nodded but spotted a small metal knife with a dragon carved on it. She pointed it out to Selene as if to ask if she can keep it.
"I guess we'll start off with this and if you grow big enough I might give you a claymore sword," Selene promised Azmaria.
Her eyes lit up from hearing that.
"But first I must train you to be a skilled fighter in order to survive," Selene said.
Azmaria was always ready to learn new things so this might be a piece of cake.
Meanwhile, Damien was pacing back and forth feeling restless as his servant stood there watching him pace like he was awaiting results.
"What are you so nervous Damien? No matter how many times you ask him; his answer will be no," Jasmine said.
"I know that Jasmine but that's not why I'm doing this," Damien replied stopping the pace for the moment.
"Then I do not understand what you are doing," Jasmine was confused.
"I need to know why Azmaria was so important to them and why they want her back so badly," Damien was determined in finding what reason Viktor had to want to test on Azmaria.
"He told you his lab quarters are forbidden to anyone except for his trusted advisors," Jasmine reminded him about Viktor's lab being off limits to him.
"I'll talk to Mantaz because he has clearance," Damien proclaimed leaving the room.
I hope he knows what he is doing Jasmine wanted to make sure Damien didn't bite more than he could chew.
Selene did a swift kick that Azmaria avoided and went behind her then jumped on her back.
She giggled as Selene gave her a piggyback ride with her student laughing happily which is a feeling she hasn't felt in a long time because of Viktor's constant testing to see what activates her power.
Soon enough after the piggyback ride Selene decided to feed her after hearing whale noises residing in her stomach.
Azmaria blushed in embarrassment.
"No need to be embarrassed Azmaria even some of the best and most fierce warriors need nourishment after a hard day of battle," Selene said while making some baked chicken and rice served on a silver plate.
Azmaria sat on a table and ate her food feverishly, she never was fed by Viktor's royals in fear that it would disrupt testing but one little meal wouldn't hurt. Selene watched smiling as her student indulge in a hot meal she hasn't had in ages, it reminded Selene of her childhood.
After Azmaria finished her plate she washed it clean of stuck on or remains of food which surprised her mentor.
"You know how to clean up after yourself?" Selene asked in total disbelief.
Azmaria nodded. "Growing up with my mom she taught me how to clean up after a meal."
"Your mother is a smart lady," Selene admired that about her student.
Watching her clean after herself made Selene very happy.
It just might work Selene hoped for.
