Chapter 2: Locked Away

The morning had come on the first day of Angelus's eighth month. Caim was feeling much better because the door had been finished and put in place. And the day before he had his sword sealed behind the doors Angelushad prepared all those months ago… was it really not that long ago he had sent his son out of the window? The thought still struck a nerve as Caim marched down the halls of their castle. He had a meeting with local lords to clean up a tax misunderstanding that some fool had made. Now part of his kingdom was revolting and he wanted to throttle the bastard who brought him to using armed force and have him beheaded in front of the rioting masses. The entire idea made Caim smile, but the thought on what Angelus would say wiped it off his face. This was going to be tricky. As he walked in the bickering fools didn't realize he was there until their lord practically ran over the most prominent of them. As Lord Foerd picked him self up off the ground Caim sat down in his high backed chair and smiled at them. By now all who served him knew that he was mute, even if they didn't fully understand the reason why. Yet they all didn't deny his power. They've all watched him single handedly wipe out entire armies with steel and magic.

As they sat down Foerd spoke up, "Lord Caim! We have not found the culprit as you asked as of yet. Though we have discovered who has been leading the riots." Caim cut him off with a simple raised finger. They all clicked their mouths shut. The warrior took a note on that as he always did; keep up the routine disguise. He looked up from the small paper that had several copies of Foerd's name. Sighing he put it down, how frustrating it got when he couldn't speak for him self. He motioned for a guard that was standing near the door that was with him and Angelus not long ago, and who knew exactly what Caim wanted his to tell them.

He cleared his throat, "Lord Caim has discovered the misunderstanding was caused by Lord Ogrey, he has been arrested and brought before Lord Caim for justice witch will be handed out personally, Lord Fredrick is to take over his land, by force if necessary and restore order. If any one has complaints speak so now." The soldier stepped back looking embarrassed. Normally mere soldiers wouldn't speak to royalty like he just did: on top of that he was a rookie. Caim grinned again; this was going to be fun. He felt Angelus's sudden burst of anger and he stood, he motioned that everyone was dismissed and strode back down the halls. They all knew by now why, and what it meant. They dispersed quickly to avoid the wrath of one even their lord was afraid of. Anger could be a quite useful thing when employed properly.

Angelus was far angrier then the pact-link had suggested. She was a screeching banshee when Caim walked in: and he nearly lost his head to a flying plate. Her restlessness had been compounded for months by Caim's strange avoidance to her queries about the steel door and the room. She was getting more and more worried by the day, and birth was getting closer also. And NOW this idiot drudge thought it would be funny to wash her slippers and forget to dry them out? Screw patience! Its time for a little retribution! That was about when she started flinging dishes at the fool who was running in circles trying to find a place to hide, and Angelus was finding it quite difficult to hit a moving target with glass, and silver dishes. As Caim walked into the room the drudge had leapt at the chance of escape and received a knife in the ass on the way out. Revenge was oh, so sweet.

And what was that about?Caim asked his pact-partner. Angelus growled.

"Why should I answer you? You don't answer my questions about that door!"

I wasn't the one trying to kill someone.

"For all I know your planning to lock me away!"

And where do you get that idea?

"Because you don't answer my question of what that door is for!"

Probably because it doesn't concern you directly.

"It does when it's in our castle and when ever you think about it you get some massive wave of satisfaction!"

That left Caim without words, Angelus raised an eyebrow in question. He growled in discontent and stormed out. The dragon-turned-human smiled. She had finally gotten to him! But that was when her body decided to protest. And Angelus once again cursed Caim. And her cravings, she thought off-handily.

Caim had nearly ripped over him self. This was a bit earlier then he had planned on but it was about time. He thrust a hand out and snatched a drudge. Nodding towards Angelus's door with a snarl on his face the drudge thankfully knew exactly what it meant; then she spun around and dashed off to find the mid-wife he had hired. He leaning against the wall he tried to calm his mind. Then dashed down the hall to his destination.

A few hours later Angelus was lying on the bed with a new child in her arms. The celebrating servants were slowly leaving, and making sure if she needed anything. Reassuring them she cleaned the last of the birthing blood off her new daughter. She looked a lot like Aneglus her self did, but she had Caim's raven black hair and his blue eyes. But Angelus was quick to spot the flaws. Her entire chest and her left arm were covered in scales. The arm looked almost human without the scales and each finger having a long claw attached. Angelus was also quick to notice that her daughter also had two fully functional wings. She sighed, so close! Then it dawned on her Caim was missing. Standing she walked slowly out of the room carrying their child. Taking a quick look down both halls she walked into the next room and put her daughter there, then left to find Caim. She reached to the bond and nearly recoiled at numbness that was laced lightly with triumph. Worried she gathered her skirts and raced down the halls. That was what the door was for! "Damn you Caim!"
