Me: yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. So Toru's mad at me and so is Chase. Neither one is speaking to me. I'm sad. Remember I own nothing except for my own characters.

Previously:

"Please-please don't leave me, Chase! You can't! I tried to move, I tried to fight back but I just couldn't. Forgive me, punish me, just don't leave me alone!" she begged, crying into Chase's arm.

'Punish her?'

'How could mate possibly see this as her fault?'

'Her sprites been broken'

'We cannot leave mate, not with her condition like this. We'll have to kill Hannibal another time'

Chase wrapped his arms around Toru and hugged her tightly.

"Do not worry, Toru I will never leave you alone…I promise."

The true prince of darkness had someone he truly cared for. He's always cared about her though but never this strongly before. No one would ever harm her again, and if they tried…he'd kill them.

Chapter 20: The Road to Healing & Revenge

Chase Young's lair

Chase and Toru had made it back to the citadel and saw it was worse than what Orion had described. His warriors were hurt, seriously hurt, or dead. Dead! Chase felt an insult that he was sure the only way to fix it was to kill Hannibal, but that would have to wait, Toru, and his domain were the ones that needed him the most.

Toru on the other hand was immediately given a reified hugged.

"Oooohhhh! Tooooooorrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuu! You're alright!" Hitomi cried happy tears as she hugged her friend. Despite how much her body hurt.

Everyone else also seemed relieved that the young miss was alright as well.

Toru looked down at her friend, "Uh, Hitomi."

Hitomi immediately let go. "3 second rule, right, sorry."

Toru looked at Chase with unemotional eyes and told him dryly, "I'm going to the hot spring." Chase simply nodded.

In the hot spring Toru scrubbed herself vigorously all over until her body turned. How dare that asshole touch her? How dare he rape her? How dare he take what was sacrosanct between her and Chase and defile it, defile her?!

'We were weak'

'Be quiet'

'Our mate was barely in time to save us'

'I said be quiet'

'That insect touched us. He had the gall to take what wasn't his, and we couldn't defend ourselves.'

"SHUT UP!"

Toru sunk down into the water, crying. She couldn't handle her beast right now she just wanted to get as clean as humanly possible and go to her room.

After about 2 hours in the hot spring, Toru didn't exactly feel new but the burning sensation in her skin she felt after scrubbing for so long did erase Hannibal touch which was better than nothing. She went to her room and decided to listen to music, 'cause who doesn't listen to music when they're feeling down. Sitting on her bed listening to A Little Piece Of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold, thinking of what she should do next as Hitomi came in and jumped on her bed.

"Uh, hi." The clouded leopard smiled.

"'Sup" Toru said dryly

Hitomi looked into her friends solemn eyes. "You know if you ever want to talk about it I'm here."

"What are you talking about?"

"I could smell your scent when I hugged you, I know what happened."

Toru's eyes widen then she began to tear up, "You must think I'm terrible then to allow such a thing to happen."

Hitomi shook her, "No! It's not your fault, Toru, if anything its mine. I couldn't protect you when you need me most, and I am so sorry."

"Yeah and if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be hurt. I wouldn't blame you if you hated me."

Hitomi rubbed up against Toru purring, showing her affection and smiled. "I could never hate you, Toru, none of us do. If anything we're all just glad you're safe."

"Oh come on don't get all mushy on me, now." Toru smiled. Hitomi smiled as well as they laughed and finally hugged. "Have I told you what a good friend you are?"

"You could stand to mention it more." The cat woman said with a smirk.

Above them the raven was watching showing Chase everything. He was happy to see his mate slowly returning back to normal.

As Chase watched his mate and Hitomi talking as usual Orion and 2 other warriors approached.

They bowed before their master.

Orion was the only one who lifted his head, "Lord Chase we have yet to locate Wuya."

Chase's eyes narrowed, "Then why are you here?! I want that Witch brought to me-no kneeling before me-she will answer for her crimes!"

"Yes, Lord Chase." Without saying another word they left.

Toru told him on there was back to the citadel that she felt a magical force push her into that capsule and Hitomi also mentioned how Wuya wasn't there the entire time Toru was ill or when Hannibal attacked. He knew that witch was never trustworthy and for her to sink to this level of desperation Chase could honestly say he wasn't surprised he just thought she wouldn't have the gall. Then again a desperate animal will resort to things it would never do normally.

After about a weak Toru seemed to go back to normal with help, of course from the others especially Chase. He was never really good at expressing himself verbally but physically through their love making she could tell what he was saying.

She was in her room dancing to Trouble by P!nk with Hitomi, while talking to Aranea via spider messenger.

"Are you sure you're ok?" the spider queen asked concernedly.

Toru continued to dance without a care. "I'm perfectly fine but I probably will need a catalyst for my rage soon."

Hitomi then sniffed the air and smiled, "You may get your chance."

In Chase's throne room Wuya was brought, or rather dragged to Chase.

Wuya was quickly thrown to the ground. "Ugh!"

Orion held her down, not pinning her to the ground but keeping her on her knees. "Bow before Lord Chase, witch!"

Wuya struggled against the man's grip with no avail. "Chase what is the meaning of this?"

Chase stood and walked towards the witch. "You're here to answer for your crimes against my realm and my mate."

"You mean she's-"

Chase cuts her off, "What did you really think I would simply I would get rid of my mate because that pathetic excuse for fertilizer tried to defile her?"

"Please Chase it was all Hannibal's idea, I swear." Wuya begged.

"Oh I'm well aware of that…and I'm also aware of your involvement." He said with a cold look in his eyes. He gestures Orion to move and the warrior does, and then grabs Wuya by the neck. "I normally wouldn't harm a woman as I find it dishonorable, but in this case I'll make an exception."

Blood soon spattered the floor. The sound of her screams could be heard throughout the citadel as Chase beat her. Wuya's dress was severely torn revealing the gashes all over her body. Chase then threw her to the wall splattering that part of the wall with blood.

Wuya tried to get up but she could barely move everything, it felt like 1000 knives were run through her.

"Are you feeling helpless Wuya? The inability to move, to defend yourself. Well that's exact how Toru felt, so it would only be fitting if she chooses your fate."

At that very moment Toru tail wrapped around Wuya's neck and lifted her in the air. Toru smiled as she looked at the bleeding harpy.

Toru chuckled, "God you look pathetic."

Wuya gave a weak smile. "Must remind you of yourself then."

Toru frowned and slammed Wuya into the granite floor head first. She kept Wuya on the ground as Toru moved leaving only a few inches between them. Toru moved a strand of hair off of the witches face.

"I could kill you right now," she uses her claws to scratch Wuya's face. "and it would be ease."

"Then do it." Wuya said with conviction.

Toru leaned in closer and whispered in her ear. "No." She then got up lifting Wuya to her feet, unwrapping her tail, and then going over to Chase. "Chase I've been thinking, death seems far too…merciful for what she's done. So I say we keep her as a slave."

Chase gave an amused smile. "An interesting proposition, Toru."

Wuya held her aching, bleeding sides. "And what makes you think that I, Wuya, would ever become your slave!"

Toru smiled, "Well there are 2 reasons as to why you can't say no."

Hitomi suddenly came up behind Wuya and placed an inhibiter collar as the witch kicked her to Toru's side. "Bong." Toru petted Hitomi's head.

"What is this thing?" Wuya shouted

"I made you your very own inhibiter collar with a few modifications, like now you're completely powerless. Reason 1."

"If you think I won't just rip this stupid thing off then-" as Wuya pulled on the collar she was shocked with electricity. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"You didn't let me finish. Reason 2: If you try to remove the collar then you get shocked with 500,000 volts of electricity."

The witch panted. "I don't care I still won't do it."

Chase then looked at Toru. "As much as I'm enjoying this my mate, Wuya is trouble and she will be difficult to control."

"I know but I'm never without a plan. Although I don't particularly like this one." Toru then put on some clear lip gloss and walked over to Wuya and kissed her. As she moved away, wiping her mouth of the spit, Wuya stood there motionless. "Well that was…unpleasant"

Chase raised a brow, "Do you wish to explain your actions?"

Toru showed his the lip gloss. "I've been working on a mind controlling agent derived from my own poison, considering it is a neurotoxin. I made a few modifications to the compounds and concentrated it into this. Now Wuya will follow any order we give her."

"And how long will the affects last?"

"That I'm not entirely sure of, 2 weeks at the most, I think." Toru said looking at the still motionless witch.

"Very well. Orion take Wuya to the dungeon and chain her to the wall." Chase ordered.

Orion simply nodded and dragged Wuya's limp body out.

That night, Toru laid on her mate's chest after a few hours of love making.

Chase held his mate close to him. "I was surprised that you let Wuya live, and I'm rarely surprised."

"Would you rather I had killed her?" Toru asked sleepily.

"No. I rather like the idea of her serving us, but I would like to know why you did it."

"I did it because when the day comes that you rule the world you will need slaves. So I thought I might as well get use to subjecting people." She explained as she fell asleep.

Chase gave his signature cool smile. "When the day comes we rule the world, my mate."

Surprised you didn't I? The ones that reviewed all of you said I should kill Wuya and don't worry it will eventually happen just not in this chapter. Sorry to disappoint. Once again sorry the chapter is so short. But you gotta give me my props I've been pumping them out like a mad woman. I've mentioned a lot of songs and I gotta know at this point have any of u looked up any of these songs or have I mentioned any songs you liked so far? Plez review.
