Drowning Chapter 7: Mind lock

.
Dark Cesia stood watching Rath fight, waiting impatiently for him to either
die or to win so she could carry out her plan.
.
Her patents soon gave way and she took the liberty of killing some of the
bandits from behind so the fight would go quicker.
.
When all of them had either fled or lay dead on the ground, Rath sheathed
his sword and looked around for Cesia.
.
"Cesia? Where are you?" He called out into the trees surrounding the small
clearing he was in.
.
Dark Cesia stalked out of the trees facing Rath. The shadows concealing her
face.
.
Rath took in a sharp breath when she came standing just a few feet in front
of him.
.
"Remember me?" She said, a seductive smile spreading across her pale face.
.
"Where's Cesia?!" Rath yelled, trying to conceal his worry, grabbing his
bell sword, standing ready to turn it into a sword at a moments notice.
.
"I am Cesia." She walked closer to Rath, she held herself high and stood
inches from his face. Her fingers traced the contours of his face and came
to rest on his lips. "You know, its too bad Im gonna kill you, cause you
really are very good in bed. A regular little DEMON!" she emphasized the
last word as she drew out her razor sharp whip and just missed Raths leg.
.
Rath tumbled to the side, his sword out only to block the attacks headed
towards him. He mad no attempt to advance on Dark Cesia.
.
"Still afraid to attack I see. You know, its not as much fun to kill people
when they don't fight back. Looks like this wont take so long after all.
She said smiling as her whip finally made contact grazing Raths cheek,
making a bloody gash on his right cheekbone. Just inches below his eye.
.
"What do you want with me?" Rath said panting, whipping the blood from the
corner of his mouth.
.
"Want with you?" She spat in disgusted surprise. "I want your power, your
blood on my hands. I want to hold your beating heart in my hand while you
watch in pain, still clinging to life. I want you to die knowing you killed
the one person you love most in this damn world. I want to watch you
suffer. Now is that really to much to ask?" She spat, letting her whip fly
towards Rath. It coiled around his leg, cutting him deeply as it came off.
Rath held in a cry of pain, gritting his teeth and glaring at Dark Cesia.
.
"You hate my right now don't you." Dark Cesia smiled.
.
"No. With every fiber of my being, I can't bring myself to hate you, or
kill you. Maybe Im a bit pist off right now, but Im not going to kill you."
.
"Then you will die. No doubt about that. The other Cesia is in no position
to help youi. How can she save your life, when she's fighting for her own."
She said coldly, laughing while Rath stood in horror.
.
"Where is she damnit!" he yelled out, his anger reaching its edge.
.
"She's relatively safe.for now. Once I drain her of her life force (for
lack of a better word) I will no longer need her."
.
"You cant kill Cesia! If she dies you die!"
.
"Not true. If I drain her of her life energy all of it will belong to me
and I already have a body so I have no further need for hers. And besides,
I am not going to lay one hand on Cesia. I wont kill her. You will."
.
"I thought you wanted to kill me."
.
"Oh I will. You see, when I control you, I will be in full command of your
body. But you will still be able to see yourself killing the one you love."
Dark Cesia threw her head back and laughed.
.
Rath stood in the clearing, head down, fists clenched at his sides, arms
shaking in anger. His fists were clenched so tight his knuckles were
turning an unnatural white. He looked up, his intense anger clearly visible
on his face. "You BITCH!!!" He yelled out as he lunged for her, sword
raised high, ready for attack.
.
"You fool!" she laughed as she flung her whip straight towards him.
.
Rath stopped, taking in short gasps of air. Blood trickling almost
invisibly on his black shirt, creating a dark fountain.
.
"Fool, you cant win. Im going to make sure the lat thing your conscious
mind sees is yourself killing the one girl you've ever loved."
.
Raths eyes opened wide, his breathing coming in short staggered breaths.
.
"I bet you didn't know that Cesia had powers able to control people. It's a
power shes developed quite recently in fact."
Dark Cesia wrapped her whip around Raths sword, puling it easily out of his
grip. She stood before him now with the dragon sword and her whip. Using
her wind magic she bound down his hands to his sides and placed her hand
over his face. Middle finger on his forehead, pointer and ring fingers on
his eyes and her thumb and pinky on his cheekbones. She muttered some words
under her breath and stood back to look at Rath. Admiring the product of
her magic.
.
Before her stood Rath, but it wasn't quite Rath. He straightened slowly and
looked at her head on before bowing. When he looked up at her from his
kneeling state, D Cesia looked at his eyes. They seemed hallowed and empty.
Glazed over with only a small shimmer of Raths soul buried deep in his
mind, pleading to get out.
.
Rath stood and approached his new master and took her hand in his, and
kissed it.
.
"Look what I have reduced the powerful Rath Illuzer to. His mind so easily
trapped and controlled." She handed Rath back his sword and told him what
she wanted done.
.
He bent back down on one knee, "Yes master." And he stalked off into the
woods to find his target.
.
'Now this is going to be entertaining. I can feel Raths real emotions as
all this happens, and his emotions give me great power. His deepest
emotions and desires are the greatest weapons against him. First he will
kill that nuisance Cesia, then I will kill him.' (dark Cesia)
