Chapter four! Not sure how long I'll continue this Fanfiction for, I haven't decided yet. But chapter 5 is half finished so I think I'll keep going for a while. I don't own any of these characters, that all goes to P.C and Kristin Cast. Please read and review. I'm not sure if it's all relatively in character or if I waffle too much so please let me know.
Neferet POV
"NYX BE DAMNED! CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!"
Aurox flinches away from me as I yell at him. It almost makes me smile. Almost.
"You have failed me and so you will pay."
I bite into my wrist and allow the tendrils of Darkness to drink deeply in my rich blood.
"You have disobeyed my orders. You allowed Zoey and her circle to perform the spell. So now you must pay."
I thrust my hand out towards him and intone, "Take his blood as payment and as punishment for what has been done tonight. I have ordered it, so mote it be!"
It only takes a few short milliseconds before his screams or agony fill my ears. It is such a beautiful sound. But it is not enough. I am just about to kill him myself when I sense a greater presence and turn only to be face to face the white bull himself. In all his luminescent beauty.
"What is this?", he enquires.
"The boy has failed me, my Consort. He must pay for his failure."
"He is only as good as your sacrifice allows him to be, my heartless one. I should not need to remind you of this."
The reproach in his voice makes the hairs on her arms stand on end.
"I am sorry. I forget. I only wish to remind him of the importance of the tasks I give him. He has ruined everything. Thanatos knows that I killed the useless husk that was Linda Heffer. There is nothing I can do to stop the full might of the council coming down upon me."
"Everyone is corruptible, Neferet. Remember that. You need only name a price."
Of course...She could still get what she wanted. She just needed to have what someone else wanted.
Neferet smiled. It was time for her to attend the ritual.
