Chapter 21 Hide and seek
Finn could hear her coming, he was counting on it actually. He could smell that scent of her's getting closer and closer. Wisely he wasn't about to face her, he could feel her anger rolling off her body in waves. If he knew how badly his words could affect her, he would've been far more careful. He watched from a distance, longing to reach out and touch her, from what he could tell, she wouldn't mind so much given how her body had called for him. Raven wrenched open the door to his locker room, annoyed that it was empty. Finn wasn't using his stealth magic, he just wasn't in the room. Not that she was shocked that a Warrior was hiding from her, he wouldn't be the first, and if she ever made it to Motavia, he wouldn't be the last.
Looking for me by any chance?
The words burst into her brain, his smooth accent piping through as he put his words directly into her skull. At least that was one peice of good news, the telecommunication was working again.
Why don't you face me like a man?
His laughter echoed in her skull, she kept trying to get a handle on where he was, but all she got was his thoughts in her brain. Even that was too much for her. She would be far happier if Prince Devitt would die and be done with it.
It's more fun this way Raven. Tell me, did you enjoy the show?
Why did you tell Jinder Mahal that you were my boyfriend?
I didn't. I merely told him to stay away from you
Ok, why did you tell him to stay away?
Because you belong to me
I belong to no one, least of all you, I think I'd rather claw my own eyes out.
See this process would be much easier if you just agreed with me Raven
And now I'm done talking to you
She tried to shut off her mind to him but somehow he managed to get through, the worst part being that she still couldn't get a read on where he was was, for all she knew he could be back on Motavia by now.
Or maybe I should just talk to Storm, afterall I'm curious to know if she knows your little secret
I have no secrets from Storm
Really? So she knows exactly what has had her back for all these centuries? Given from the look on your face, I'd say no
Leave Storm out of this!
Perhaps if you were a good girl and do exactly as I say, I won't be as motivated to talk to her
So what body parts would you like to see this time?
Since you decided to take my magic, my price has gone up
You know what Prince? Tell her, you know what it'll do? Nothing! Her opinion of me won't change, so please by all means tell her, now either tell me where you are so I can rip you to peices or fuck off, I have other business to attend too
The little click in her skull gave her horrible news, Prince Devitt was gone and she still didn't know where he was so she could rip his spine out. The only good part was, Raven had another plan in motion, at least if this plan worked she would be able to kill Leishiec once and for all.
Raven met back up with Storm, who was standing in the same spot when she first left, only Jinder was long gone. Storm had at least grabbed Raven a coffee,
"So is Prince Devitt missin his spine?"
"Sadly no, he decided to be a coward and hide from me. Thanks for the coffee" Raven took a sip, "I haves a plan, one I think I should discuss with you in private"
"So back to the hotel room?"
"Nah, let's find an inn, I feel like mead and sandworms"
"You know they probably won't have either of those things"
"Yeah but at least we can ask, and if they don't I'm sure they'll have bourbon" Raven skulled the rest of her coffee back, "And I have come to a decision"
Storm felt the boulder in her stomach get heavier, she didn't want to leave Earth just yet, but it looked as though Raven had made up her mind about it, like always, she would blame Prince Devitt, if only he had just left her alone.
