Is she broken yet? Apophis asked amusedly. He was doing one of his "routine" checks on Sadie; I think it was more of a check to see if I was still loyal to him. He slithered around the room, gazing from a small window that you couldn't see from outside. I need her for my plans, son of Apollo.
I bowed deeply. "Yes, my lord. But I need her too. For me, as our agreement goes." I reminded him.
He smirked. Oh yes, of course. Couldn't wait for her to in your pants, can't you?
I rolled my eyes. I may be a sadistic maniac, but I am still a gentleman. "Not even close, my lord. I want her. That is all." I reassured him.
If you say so… he mused. I shook my head in disbelief. It's funny, how I am this close to a god of Chaos, and yet I am feeling strangely brave.

My plans are finally coming to fruition. It has been foretold that I would one day swallow the sun, and plunge the world into eternal darkness and chaos, but there was one more part of that prophecy that I have kept hidden. Hidden very well that I along know it.
The prophecy also stated that I will gain a wife; a wife born from two Royal bloodlines. True, there were many of those in the world, but it was stated that my wife shall be "the kin of the New King." If you take Horus into account, as well as his host, that blasted Carter Kane, then that makes my choices very limited. And as far as I know, he has only one sister. It saddened me that I will have to go back on my word to that son of Apollo, but I am Apophis; everybody knows that I never keep my word. Too bad nobody told him yet.
MY servant left to check in on my future wife a while ago, leaving me to my thoughts.
Soon, very soon. It will be finished.
But there was still one thing that troubled me; the prophecy also stated that my wife will either lead to my downfall or to my success.

"So, love, how have you been?" I walked casually inside her cell, bringing a plate covered in foil.
It was rhetorical, but she answered anyway. "I'm going to kill you." She said, her voice dripping with venom.
I chuckled to myself. "Not the answer I was looking for, but thanks for sharing. Anyway, you may have a hard time doing that, since you're a bit…tied up, at the moment."
She spat in my direction. A very rebellious gesture; but I didn't mind. A rebellious girl was a lot more fun that a submissive one. She kept glaring daggers at me, all of which I tried to ignore. She had been without water or food for days. Her skin was pale, almost the same color as that son Hades. Her cheeks were sunken, and she was shivering slightly. Just to tease her, I brought food with me to her cell. I grabbed a chair, positioned it in front of her, and sat down. I removed the foil, and inhaled the intoxicating smell of the roasted chicken, with a side of rice and gravy.
Sadie's mouth watered. She stared at the food, and gulped. "You bastard." She muttered weakly. I ignored her, and ate. I made her watch, and every time she would turn her head away, I made sure to eat noisily that my chewing echoed against the walls.
"You want some?" I asked teasingly. I waved a leg in front of her face, and her eyes followed it, like a hungry dog.
"Catch." I threw it to her, and hit her between the eyes. She muttered something that I couldn't understand. Egyptian, probably. The chicken leg fell to the floor, making a loud sound as it did so. She stared at it for a long time.
Then, I heard sniffles. I peered at her face, and saw that tears were falling from her eyes.
"Please, just let me go." She pleaded.
"Just one last visit, Sadie Kane." I said, opened the doors, and left. Outside the doors, Apophis was waiting for me in his human form, tapping his foot impatiently. AS soon as he saw me, he raised an eyebrow. "Well?"
"She is weak, my lord." I informed him. "It would be easier to break her now, but sadly, she somehow endures."
Apophis smiled evilly. "Leave that to me."

I walked inside, only to find her crying.
"Kill me now." She said weakly. "She turned her head up to look at me, and a surprised expression formed on her face. "Who are you?"
I chuckled. Of course, she hasn't seen my human form yet. "I am Apophis, Sadie Kane."
I saw fear eminent in her eyes. Her arms started shaking, her breathing became raspy, and she muttered, "You."
I grinned. "Yes, me."
"What do you want from me?" She demanded, tears still flowing down her cheeks.
I paced around her. "I want nothing from you, Sadie Kane."
Her turned around, and followed me wherever I walked. "If you don't want anything from me, then why am I here? Release me, now!"
"I'm sorry, Sadie Kane, but sadly, I cannot do that. I do not want anything from you, which is true, bit I want you." I said.
Her eyes widened. "M-me?"
"Yes, you. The prophecy foretold that a kin of the New King shall be my wife, and unless you have any sisters that I do not know of, you are the only candidate." I stopped right in front of her face. Cade was dangling her so high, our faces were level. "My queen." I added.
She spat in my face. "I will never be your queen!" she shrieked with the last bit of her strength.
I cupped her chin, and forced her to face me. "Listen here. You have two choices as of now: You can either agree to my proposal, or stay here and rot." I growled.
"I would rather DIE than be with you!" She shouted.
I chuckled. "Okay then, how about this. You become my wife, or I torture and kill everyone you care about, starting with that annoying son of Hades."
"You will never beat Nico." she spat.
"Oh really?" I waved my hand, and the vision of our fight appeared in front of her. She gasped when I struck him in the back.
"No…" she whispered.
"Oh yes. That is what I am capable of when I'm not even trying, Sadie Kane. Just imagine what I will do when we meet again. First him, then your brother, then that uncle of yours and maybe those friends of yours in London too, what were their names, Liz and Emma?"
I saw the fire in her eyes go out. She hung her head, defeated. "Okay, then. I'll do it."
"Do what?"
"I will be your wife, in exchange that you will not harm a hair on their heads." She said.
"Very well. I accept. I swear on the Styx that I will not one hair on their heads." Thunder rumbled outside, acknowledging my oath.
I walked out of room triumphantly. Sadie Kane, you do not know what you have done. You have just sealed their fates.
I will not harm one hair on their heads…
Just a short chapter, expect the other one later!
