Chapter 6
Raenef IV POV:
"It's simple," I said to them. "What we need to do is sell the boy to a brothel.
The looks on both of their faces was priceless. Of course, I was only joking… to an extent.
I sighed, "By law, I have to kill you unless you willingly change your name."
The boy responded with a confidence that was previously hidden. "Don't give me that bull. Demonic laws are more like guidelines which some demons CHOOSE to follow. No one really has the authority to enforce them. Even the elders don't really care what we do outside the council."
I was shocked. Years ago I'd heard Eclipse say that exact phrase verbatim. I looked to him; he seemed just as puzzled as I. This child was beginning to become an increasing headache.
"That may be, but there is a set of laws under my house: mine. And I will personally strangle you if you don't select a new name within twenty-four hours. By that time, I'll have decided with what to do with you."
With that I dismissed him. He left rather hurriedly. Eclipse remained behind.
"Shall I prepare a room for him, sire?"
"Why? He seemed quite comfortable in your chambers last night."
"Sir?"
"I overreacted. I gave him to you for whatever your pleasures might be, and I intend to let you keep him. Do what you will. Nothing binds me to him."
Eclipse was back to himself and gave no reaction. He then left to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
It pained me to say it. I didn't want him to touch anyone but me, but I've heard rumors of Eclipse's cruelty. If they were true, then he'd break the little creampuff in no time, and things would go back to normal.
Raenef V POV:
This was horrible! I have to find a way to reverse whatever I did… There was one major problem: I was lost. Without my powers, I couldn't teleport to the library, and there was no way that I could find my way in this big house.
I sat against the wall to think.
'What was I doing anyway? I have no magic. I can't undo a spell. I'm so stupid.'
I doubted that I could've gotten Eclipse to help me. He would never believe me.
Suddenly the events from last night flooded back to me. Eclipse never cared for me. Last night proved it. If I hadn't had been his master, what would've happened? I heard other demons mock him about going soft. Maybe it was true. Chris told me stories of Eclipse's actions during the Hangma War. He was a monster.
Somewhere in my mental rant I must've dozed off because when I woke the next morning, I was in the last place I needed to be: Eclipse's bed.
