Chapter 6

The Dark Meeting

Chaos pondered on what her father said all night. But what was even stranger was that Sam didn't show. She fell asleep looking at the clouds through her window. That morning, she was told to meet her father on the top deck.

As she came onto the deck Gaspard was waiting, he was looking out to sea with a glass of wine.

(A/N Gaspard does like to have a drink in wine in this story now and again)

"Who are you waiting for father?"

"I am waiting for the Dark Soldiers; today we are having a meeting, sit down over there" he pointed to a place near the hatchet door. She sat down on the spot where her father told her to sit and Dr Jaming stood next to Chaos.

A black cloud descended across the sky and purple lightening sparked off the cloud. The Dark Soldiers had arrived. They were the same height as Gaspard but there were two that were smaller and was each following a taller figure.

"Today Gentlemen, we are going to have a little treat" Gaspard said sadistically.

He snapped his fingers and seven slaves were brought up all chained together and had leather collars round the necks, the collar pressed in so tight that sometimes they bled.

There were 4 girls and 3 boys; they had the same kind of clothes as Sam wore. They knelt on the floor near their Master, their heads bowed. It was a rule not to look at their Master when they were not told to. Gaspard didn't like to see their faces much, only when they were crying, begged and if they was in pain.

"These slaves have been behaving quite well" he paused for a moment then snapped his fingers again.

Two Griffon Soldiers came up with Sam, he was chained at the legs and his hands were shackled behind his back. He also had a kind of collar round his neck, just like the others accept his was made of heavy iron and steel.

They threw him on the floor in front of Gaspard. He slammed his foot into Sam's back which caused him to scream in agony.

"While this one has been disobedient and treacherous, by waking up my daughter in the middle of the night just to talk to her, therefore making her tired and she is falling asleep in her studies"

The Dark Soldiers nodded their heads as they agreed with Gaspard that Sam must be punished. One Dark Soldiers called Remus spoke up.

"I had no idea that you had a daughter Gaspard"

"So you haven't met my daughter, this is Chaos" Gaspard said as Chaos walked over she had her potions satchel, her Magic staff and a weird black bag.

"As you are introducing your daughter I would like you to meet mine, her name is Lu naire" Remus said proudly as his daughter walked up.

She had long blonde hair that was plaited half way down her back. It fell on a short black dress that came just above her knee and had no sleeves. Gold seemed to glitter as it adorned her slender figure also at the top of her right arm was a tattoo of a black wolf. But what Chaos notice was the weapon on her side a long black sword with a gold wolf on the sheath that matched the tattoo on her arm, which probably could do a lot of damage so she was obviously trained to use it. Lu naire seemed older and taller than Chaos but not as tall as the other figure which was still behind another Dark Soldier.

Lu naire walked forward and bowed to Gaspard then said "Pleasure to meet you"

"What a lovely daughter you have here, Remus" Gaspard said quite positively "I hope Chaos and Lu naire get on with one another"

Lu naire then moved back behind her father then another Dark soldier spoke up he was called Atlan he looked strong and powerful

"Since we are introducing children this is mine, meet Kell" Atlan's son walked proudly forward.

Kell looked strong in the black and gold armour he was wearing with a thick sword on his back; He had short black hair and two gold loops in his left ear. He was well built and very muscular, from rumours he was a very strong fighter. He seemed taller and older than Chaos and Lu naire. Chaos had noticed both of these children had a weapon while she had her books, her Magic staff and her black bag.

Kell approached Gaspard and bowed like Lu naire did, and then returned to his father's side without saying anything but turned to look at Chaos then to Lu naire then down to Sam, giving him a cold glare before saying

" If he did that to me, I would have killed him where he stood" This boy seemed very opinionated and fierce which seemed to scare Sam as the comment was being aimed at him " I don't think slaves should have a second chance, the moment one steps out of line, they should be destroyed" Kell took the sword from his back and walked forward to where Sam was still on the floor and placed the tip of his blade on the side of Sam's face " After all slaves are low and are only here to serve the powerful, brave and strong. They should never question that" Kell quickly withdrew his blade but not before leaving a gash on Sam's cheek, which seemed to be bleeding quickly.

Gaspard chuckled evilly "Well, well Atlan what have you been hiding for these years? An incredibly strong son I am sure you are proud of him, I can see we'll get along very well Kell"

Sam squirmed beneath Gaspard's foot, which was still embedded in his back. He could taste the blood which Kell's blade had caused, he tried to move to stop the blood flowing any further but that earned him the pleasure of Gaspard's foot in his ribs, which with a cracking sound, had confirmed that some of his ribs were broken. Just then Gaspard put his foot on the other side to cause more pain. Sam winced and howled inhumanly at the growing unbearable pain.

Chaos seemed to squirm just a tiny bit as she did feel only the tiniest bit of sympathy towards Sam as he did try to make friends with her, however this tiny movement got the attention of both Kell and Lu naire, who didn't seem to say anything at the moment, but she knew she was going to be picked up for it later. She knew there was a difference between them anyway. They were brought up by most probably their fathers, who probably taught them that the world was corrupt and evil, where as she was brought up by her mother, Gabrielle, she showed Chaos that in a world that might be corrupt but there can still be peace, she was taught with magic and they were taught with cold steel, which was reflected in Kell but she wasn't sure about Lu naire yet.

Gaspard withdrew his foot form Sam's ribs.

His ribs ached heavily and it began to bleed he was terrified of what Gaspard was going to do to him next.

"Get over there!" he said harshly as he kicked Sam over to the other slaves. He knelt next to the little girl at the end.

The youngest slave named Libby came up to her brother, she whispered ever so quietly

"Are you alright big brother?"

After hearing this Gaspard brought Sam back into the middle of the circle which the Dark Soldiers had formed, in addition to this he put his foot to Libby's neck forcing her to bend backwards.

Sam stood up to get a better view of what was happening, even though he was watching Gaspard torture his little sister

She gasped for breath as he pushed his foot deeper into her neck. Tears streamed down her face as the pain became worse for Libby.

"I did not recall asked any of you slaves to speak, did I?"

She shook her head and Gaspard withdrew his foot from Libby's neck. He smacked her harshly round the head and she fell onto the floor. The little girl must have only been 6 years old at the least.

"Stop! Let her go!" Sam screamed at the top of his voice.

Gaspard turned round at Sam his eyes were filled with rage and anger, then he relaxed and called Chaos over.

"Chaos, you deal with him" he threw a knife to Chaos; clearly he wanted her to hurt Sam. Kell and Lu naire looked at the youngster intrigued by what she was going to do next.

She walked up to the circle and looked straight at Sam.

His chocolate orbs spoke to her, they said please don't hurt me. She dropped the knife on the floor, which made Kell and Lu naire exchange looks with one another, "weak" Chaos heard Kell whispering to Lu naire and she confirmed her agreement with a comment back but it was too quick for Chaos to catch it. Chaos knew she had to prove them wrong so she opened her bag and to everyone's surprise it contained her secret weapons. They were black fur gloves and blades were fitted on the ends of the fingers. The claws were tipped with dangerous poison. Chaos slipped her hands into her gloves; the tip of the blades touched the floor. Sam looked up at Chaos again, she could both hurt him and prove to everyone that she was not a coward or she could help him, disgrace her father and become a laughing stock in front of everyone. She closed her eyes and breathed slowly thinking over her options.

Sam began to scream "Chaos help me please, please, please, please" his eyes began to well up as he pleaded for mercy from his once thought of friend.

Gaspard cruelly commented "Do you really think she's going to help a snivelling, little slave boy like you?"

Chaos once again began listening to Sam's screams and pleases for help.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please" he began to sound like a broken record that was years old and had started to jump.

Kell had impatiently burst out "If she was going to do something to that miserable slave, she would have done it by now"

Lu naire followed suit and spoke up "He's got a point, I think your daughter might like this slave boy"

"Let me finish him, Chaos obviously hasn't got what it takes" Kell demanded but Gaspard snapped back "Chaos finish that slave boy NOW!"

Chaos's temper had reached boiling point, she was sick of these criticisms, but now she was about to prove them wrong, dead wrong. Her eyes flashed open with rage, her claws dug into Sam's cheek as she leapt at him. Chaos began hacking away at his body, leaving deep scratch wounds wherever her blades touched him. She had torn away the last tatters of his shirt; his back was bare and bleeding heavily.

Sam fell to his knees screaming in agony as his cheek burned and fire licked at the wound. He began kicking the floor as the pain became unbearable "Make it stop, make it stop, please, make it stop".

The slave boy begged for mercy from a girl the same age with claws, this was not your ordinary playground fighting. Lu naire had seemed to misjudge this girl but Kell was still sticking with his original criticism and whispered back to Lu naire "It's all well and good doing that but a three year old could do that if it got hold of a decent knife" he sneered "But what I'm wondering what is she going to do for an encore?"

Blood covered his body as his sister called out loudly "Sam, are you ok?"

Chaos turned at Libby and thrusted her claw into the little girl's left arm. The claws went all the way through her arm and touched the floor. Blood splattered across the floor, Chaos withdrew her claw and stared at the blood dripping. She wiped it on the back of Libby's tattered dress, but the claws cut into the little girl's back.

Lu naire began to look worried as Chaos' attack had turned towards the little girl but Kell still wasn't happy with the display before him and was still whispering snide comments.

She began to scream bloodcurdlingly, her arm burnt the same way Sam's did.

The pain was too great for her body to cope with, she kicked at the ground, and at least it was something to take her mind of the agonising pain. Chaos walked over to Sam who was just beginning to get into grips with the pain, she put the blades under his neck and forced him to look at her. Once again those eyes looked at her, she hated them, Chaos wanted to gauge those chocolate orbs out. Anything to stop them begging puppy dog eyes looking at her.

Kell and Lu naire watched in amazement as Chaos' frenzied attack through her razor sharp blades turned into verbal attacks that seemed even more painful than the cold steel had just inflicted

"I was never your friend, so stop thinking it; I never liked you and never will, just leave me be" those words ripped Sam's heart apart, he began to sob loudly. He liked her not only as a friend, but a best friend. His tears fell into the puddle of blood that had been spilt all around him.

Gaspard sneered evilly "But your punishment is not going to end here Sam"

Chaos walked back to her father. "Excellent work Chaos, I am very proud"

Chaos reached into her bag and took out a piece of fabric; she used it to wipe the rest of the blood off her claws.

After wiping her claws she put them carefully back in her bag.

Sam was ordered to stand up as soon as he had recuperated.

One of the Griffon Soldiers came up with something and gave it to Gaspard. He uncoiled it and the tip touched the floor almost silently. Gaspard lashed the whip at Sam and the other Dark Soldiers joined in. The whips began to draw blood from all over his body. Occasionally ripping off flesh as the whips were tipped with metal points. The whipping stopped and Sam once again fell to the fall in front of Gaspard. Sam cried in pain as he begged for forgiveness.

"That's right fall in front of your Master, you can't take the pain so you decide to start realising your place, to beg to your Master for mercy!" Gaspard sneered evilly as he pressed his foot hardly on the back of Sam's head, crushing his nose into the floor. Sam's nose began to bleed.

Gaspard lifted his foot from slave boys' head.

He snapped his fingers "Get these slaves out of here including little pitiful Sam here"

Four Griffon Soldiers began to lead the slaves back to their cell as Gaspard said "Oh and because of Sam's and Libby's little outburst work will be quadrupled"

The rest of the slaves stared angrily at brother and sister. They were dragged back down and shoved into there normal cell.

Chaos stood by her father's side and grinned proudly. She reached into her potions satchel and took out a bottle filled with Tasty water; she took a long gulp and put it back. She also had a little nibble on some cheese and meat which she had in her bag.

But she wondered would Sam be able to survive the night after all that pain that had been inflicted on him.
