No Warnings!


Elijah watched as Kol made his way towards the crowd below who were busy watching and cheering the fighters currently fighting in the ring.

Meanwhile, Orson had asked his dungeon slaves to get drinks for the king to enjoy, which arrived as Elijah sat down on his chair with Niklaus standing beside staring at an odd, unexpected place.

The hybrid, he could tell by their heartbeats that the people or well the witches around them were frightened of Elijah or scared maybe out of respect he doesn't know really but their heartbeats were faster than normal rate.

He watched as a sudden roar of the crowd was heard the ongoing fight in the battle ring was over, and the winner turned around to bow from his waist in Elijah's direction who gave a curt nod in return acknowledging the winner.

The two female slaves came ahead kneeling down at the table in front of their king followed

"My Lord, do you wish to have something to drink," Orson asked, coming and standing at the side.

"No Orson, I'm just here for Charlie and because Kol wanted to come and see this place again," Elijah said and Orson nodded his head agreeing.

Niklaus watched the two slaves dismissed by the man. The hybrid looked observing the people around the slaves staring at Elijah be didn't understand why.

Suddenly the man entered the ring with a mic in his hand looking like a referee or a host.
He first turned in the direction of his king, and bowed down "Welcome my Lord! We do hope you enjoy your time" he said respectfully and Elijah gave a curt nod in acknowledgment.

Niklaus watched as the host turned towards the crowd,

"And next in the ring we have one of our regular fighters," the host paused looking around at the crowd.

"It's Master Charlie!" the host announced loudly and the crowd cheered up hearing the name of one of the strongest fighters.

Niklaus looked at Elijah who had an amused-looking expression, which only his siblings could have seen.

The hybrid figured that this was the Charlie Elijah was looking for earlier he looked down as the crowd parted its way and a man entered wearing a tank shirt and shorts with white tape around his knuckles.

Charlie entered the ring, the host bowed curtly toward Charlie,

Charlie turned to look up at his Lord,

"Good to see you here my Lord," Charlie greeted placing his hand on his chest as he bowed his head in respect.

Elijah have a barely visible smile towards his witch in return but curtly nodded.

Before the host could speak again, Charlie interrupted,

"In honor of our Lord present here, anyone master or a slave can challenge me, enter and fight me" Charlie announced, looking around.

"If a master wins against me he could have his one wish fulfilled within reason and if a slave defeats me his/her master receives that same offer" Charlie added further Elijah couldn't help but smile internally at that. He knew Kol wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity.

"There is a sudden and exciting turn of events which is given by Sir Charlie, any master who wishes to fight or for your slave to fight please do step ahead into the ring" the host announced,

The crowd in the dungeon began to talk among themselves Charlie wasn't just a powerful witch he was one of the seven servants of their king, not only that this man was trained by their powerful king in the art of fighting. One of the top witch practitioners and fighters in their kingdom.

Suddenly a man who looked like a master stepped ahead, and the dungeon suddenly fell silent.

Charlie and the host turned to look at the man, "I would like my salve to fight you Sir Charlie" the Master spoke a smirk forming on his lips, he was waiting for an opportunity like this usually slaves weren't always allowed to fight with one of the seven witches of their king only the once that Charlie servants approved off.

The host looked at Charlie who gave a curt nod in return, "Sir Charlie has approved your fight, you can bring your slave in" the host announced,

Soon the noble tucked on the leash, and a huge bulked toned man entered, wearing a jockstrap and a slave collar firmly wrapped on his neck and leash attached to the ring.

Niklaus who was watching everything from above watched the man unhook the leash like Elijah had done earlier with Kol

The noble patted his slave's ass twice before whispering something in his ear which for some reason Niklaus wasn't able to hear but he just shrugged it off.

The slave entered the ring, while the host exited,

Charlie observed the slave carefully, he could tell that the slave in front of him was a worker slave and prone to hard and heavy lifting. However, the way the slave entered he would tell that he was someone who knew how to fight.

The slave after entering the ring stood straight eyes down on his feet as he waited for Charlie's orders.

No matter if he was allowed to fight in the same ring as one of the seven witches the fact remains he owned a slave and the man in front of him was one of the most important people under their king.

"You can look at me slave, also I am expecting to give everyone here a fair fight" Charlie spoke and the slave was listening and nodded his head.

"Yes, master! Thank you very much sir" the slave answered loudly before he looked up, not really directly in the eye but he was looking at his face which was good enough.

The slave took a fighting stance, Charlie was ready to.

Klaus who was watching everything shivered a little looking at the slave he understood that the man was a slave he remembered what Elijah said that they weren't equal.

He could tell from a distance that the slave was all tensed up just with the thought of fighting a master however, the owner of the slave was not keeping quiet Niklaus doubts that even if the slave wanted to back out from the fight he couldn't because it was the owner who had decided on the first place and the slave maybe wanted to please his owner by standing there in the ring with a master.

Niklaus looked back at Elijah who was sitting on the throne-like seat with Orson standing beside him and two slaves on each side behind the seat in the darker part Klaus was aroused he loved the way Elijah emits power and authority and everyone around knew better than to defy his brother because he knew.

Elijah raised his eyebrows at Niklaus who up till now hadn't realized was staring at him Klaus shook his head in nothing and then turned to look ahead at the fight which had begun.

The crowd was cheering for Charlie and the owner was the only one who was rooting for the slave which was maybe enough for the slave in the ring.

A few minutes later the slave was kicked square in his chest losing his balance and knocked off his feet.

The slave was staring up at the master he was fighting he understood in the first three minutes that there was no way he could defeat much less lay a punch on the man.

Charlie looked at the slave and then up at that host, "The match is over I don't think he can fight anymore. And I don't wish to harm or damage someone else property" Charlie stated the host looked at the slave boy,

"Do you wish to continue this fight slave?" the host questioned,

The slave lowered his eyes and shook his head, "We need words?" the host added, and the slave flinched a little.

"No sir, the slave doesn't want to fight anymore" he answered, and the host nodded followed by entering the ring and announcing the winner.

The crowd erupted in mummers the people who were betting on the fight obviously delighted this was an easy bet.

Charlie walked towards the slave who was still sitting on his ass with his eyes lowered waiting for orders to leave the ring.

As soon he sensed Charlie near him and his shoes came in the line of his vision he quickly scrambled himself to do a proper kneel, with his hands placed on his thighs, back straight, and eyes down the shoes of the master standing in front.

Charlie looked up at the owner behind outside the ring and then placed his hand on the slave's head gently petting it,

"You did good boy! You are a good slave boy. Your master already knew that it was difficult to defeat me and I think he won't punish you for this defeat" Charlie spoke kindly and the slave was staring at his shoes not really knowing what to say.

Suddenly he heard his master from beside him, Charlie's hand was lifted from his head probably to shake hands with a Master he doesn't really know.

However, he felt his own master's warm hand behind his head he couldn't help but shiver.

"Thank you, sir, for fighting with my boy" he heard his master say to but he couldn't hear anything the other man said.

"He is a nice slave, well maintained and he loves his owner," Charlie said and he could feel his master's caressing him gently to calm him.

"Indeed, he is a really loyal one" his own master replied, and then hooked up the leash to his collar bowing down to Sir Charlie they left the ring.

Charlie looked at the host, the host asking if he wanted to continue to fight a second fight to which Charlie nodded.

"Anyone else from the crowd who wish test their strength against Master Charlie here." the host announced and there was again the same silence in the room.

Elijah was silently sipping on his glass of scotch, watching everything around him. He was satisfied with the way the fighting dungeon was managed by the people he had assigned and considering that it was one of his witches visiting this place frequently everything was up to standards.

"I wish to fight" suddenly a hand was raised from far away in the crowd, everyone was expecting it was the master who challenged Charlie so openly with how the sentence was phrased, the person walked towards the direction of the ring the crowd parting to make a way through them and everyone was surprised to see it was a slave who challenged Charlie. The slave was wearing a hood which was covering his face and his neck. The crowd was murmuring and people had again betted on the fight however few were dissatisfied with the manner slave spoke mainly when their king was watching everything.

As soon as he entered the ring, he stood straight and lowered his eyes, "I wish to fight sir" he said, and Charlie looked carefully he could tell, looking at the body that the slave was young maybe too young.

"Where is your master?" Charlie questioned, not liking that a young slave was alone in such a place.

"He isn't here sir, but I've permission to take part in fights" the young slave answered,

"And why are you wearing a hood?" Charlie questioned,

"Sir, I'm here without my master and he doesn't appreciate that his slave is looked in the wrong way in his absence" the boy answered respectfully,

"Well, if he cares about that so much he should be present here with his slave" Charlie pointed out as a matter of fact, he could tell the slave didn't like that he was speaking about his master but held his tongue off Charlie was amused by that.

"What if I ask you to remove your hood?" Charlie stated testing the slave,

"I won't, I am not allowed to and you are not my master" the slave stated blatantly

Charlie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at that, "Do you know who I am slave boy?" he questioned,

"Yes Sir I know, you're Master Charlie one of the seven witches of the King" the boy answered without missing a beat,

Charlie observed the boy in front of him, he could see the outline of the collar beneath the hood, indicating that the boy was an owned slave and wasn't bluffing.

Elijah and Niklaus both were listening to the conversion going down in the ring, Elijah couldn't help but smirk a little at the boy below, suddenly Niklaus turned around to look at his elder brother walking towards Elijah,

"It's Kol down there" he whispered, surprised,

"Yes Niklaus, it is. I'm not still sure where he acquired the hood to hide his face though" Elijah stated amused he knew Kol wasn't going to miss such an opportunity presented to him.

Niklaus turned back to look in the ring, Kol was still standing straight, his eyes lowered considering the master in the ring hadn't given him permission to fight yet.

Charlie after thinking for a minute, "Well, I'm not sure of fighting with a slave whose master didn't bother to show up" he said,

"Sir, but I've permission to fight. I may not look like it but I can fight and my master is aware of that" Kol reasoned back, they both could hear people, especially people around them talking about how Kol was being disrespectful.

"Alright if that's the case, I will fight with you. However, if you lose you are expected to walk out of the ring on your own" Charlie stated just to see any kind of emotion,

"I won't lose sir but yes sir I understand," Kol answered, he knew Elijah must have recognized him,

"You may look up and get ready to fight" Charlie ordered and Kol looked up,

As soon as their eyes met Charlie was pleased that the slave in front of him had the guts to meet his eyes, it was rare especially when he is against a slave even if they have permission to look up they don't usually make eye contact.

Charlie was excited to fight this boy, it was going to be entertaining, "Well, just looking at your eyes I would tell you're quite pretty. If I would have been in your master's place I would've definitely dolled you up and never would have allowed you to leave my sight, let alone fight in this fighting ring " Charlie pointed out thoughtfully, he enjoyed the way the slave was getting riled up,

"Sir, I implore you please don't talk ill about my master," Kol said, with a bite in his tone trying to control his urge to curse the witch in front of him,

Charlie just nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, before saying "Well that's the truth, you are a too pretty boy, and unharmed you are not the type of slave who should be in the fighting ring" he said

Kol was glaring at the witch, he took a deep breath and released through his nose calming himself but he didn't like the manner the witch spoke, Kol took the stance ready to fight.

No matter whether dominant or not, knowingly or unknowingly Kol wasn't going to let anyone get away from speaking badly about Elijah, about his master. No matter if he gets punished for hitting or disrespecting a dominant let alone one of Elijah's witches.

Soon, the host announced for the fight to begin, Charlie was observing the hooded slave carefully, as Kol took a step to the side, both men circling along the ring waiting for the other to attack first.

Niklaus very well knew that in front of Kol's original speed and strength the witch was nothing, and if magic wasn't allowed into the fight then definitely Kol was going to win without breaking a sweat. And the other thing is he hated that the crowd was talking so low about Kol, even if they weren't aware, he wished for them to eat their own words when Kol wins.

"Pretty boy I am waiting!?" suddenly Charlie mused, looking at the slave in front of him, Kol didn't reply he knew if he opens his mouth he'll say something he'll regret later and it wasn't worth risking his own master's wrath.

Charlie was really enjoying riling up the slave boy, it was rare for him to get indulge in a slave who isn't his.

Kol couldn't help but narrow his eyes he didn't like that the sir was calling him pretty.

Both fighters had begun nearing each other, and soon after a few minutes, it was Kol who attacked first when Charlie's eyes shifted for just a few seconds.

Charlie was able to dodge the punch at the last second which was coming to his face, and without wasting any moment he turned to encounter the slave boy who took him by a little surprise.

Kol was able to quickly block the attack and put some distance between them, the crowd was definitely at Charlie's side, no one wishes to witness a slave defeat a dominant, and not just any dominant one of the strongest in the kingdom.

"You're an agile one, definitely a remarkable ability for a slave to have," Charlie pointed out impressed, Kol couldn't help but narrow his eyes at the master in front of him, he knew the witch was mocking him.

Kol covered the distance between them little by little keeping keen eyes on the man in the front, it was Elijah who had taught Charlie all about hand-to-hand combat centuries ago.

Charlie was noticing, in the way, the slave boy was moving ahead and before Kol could attack him he decided to attack the boy first taking him off guard if possible, Charlie went in to kick the boy however, Kol blocked it with his arm before swiping his leg below in quick movement, followed by Charlie dodging by jumping up and then kicking, which slightly grazed near Kol's face before Kol moved two steps away. Both were staring at each other, panting heavily they were not able to hear the noise of the crowd around them. A distraction they couldn't afford a slight one and the other would take advantage of it.

This time it was Kol who attacked Charlie first, going in with the punch but before Charlie could see he kicked the witch in the stomach landing the first hit.

Charlie placed his hand on his stomach, looking at the slave it has been centuries since anyone landed a hit on him let alone a slave.

"That was really a good one slave boy" Charlie praised, he was more excited in the fight now, he stepped in and let out a fury of swift punches and kicks from various angles and directions towards Kol. The latter was countering or dodging them at equal speed, taking a few hits to all the time finding an opening.

When Kol did find one, he gave a full-strength hook punch sending the dominant witch flying towards the netted fence, the crowd gasp in surprise while some dominants were hissing and talking among each other about how a slave was being willful.

Charlie stood up but before he could get his bearings entirely back Kol moved ahead taking advantage of the situation he grabbed the witch before sending him flying at the other side. He couldn't humiliate his master's witch by kicking or stepping on him.

Kol once again moved behind Charlie wrapping his arm around the witch's throat and cutting his air supply off, and before Kol could break a leg or two Charlie tapped out. Soon, the referee who was now silently watching the match entered the ring and pulled Kol away from Charlie.

Once Kol was off, Charlie could take in deep breaths and was staring at the boy in the mask, he needed to know who was behind the mask or at least the owner of the boy in front of him.

There was sudden pin-drop silence in the room, Kol and Charlie were looking at each other panting heavily while the crowd stood stunned by the fact a slave defeated one of the powerful witches of their kingdom.

Suddenly, it was the referee who broke the silence, "The slave boy wins this match..." he declared, Klaus was grinning from above at Kol and looking at the expression of the crowd who were stunned by the result.

"On your knees slave!" the referee ordered, and Kol silently went down on his knees with his eyes lowered still panting with adrenaline pumping in his veins, Charlie stood up on his feet he could hear the crowd murmuring that the slave must have cheated somehow.

Charlie walked towards the slave boy, "You can definitely fight, it has been a while since someone has defeated me let alone a pretty slave boy like you" the witch stated nonchalantly,

"Thank you, sir," Kol answered respectfully.

"Now, as I promised earlier that your master gets any one wish... fulfilled. For that I would like to know the name of your owner boy" Charlie said,

Kol thought for a moment, he wasn't sure if he should tell his master's name in front of the crowd. Only Charlie really knew who he was for the rest he was like he never existed until now.

"Sir, I would like to inform my master first," Kol said, "if he permits I will come and inform you" Kol reasoned,

Charlie stared at the boy in front of him, for a few seconds, "Alright! That's fine with me. Come and let me know tomorrow at the same time" he agreed and Kol nodded his head.

"Yes master, I will" Kol answered,

"You may leave the ring now" Charlie added further, and Kol nodded his head again, "Thank you master Charlie for giving me a chance to fight," he said and Charlie just hummed before Kol stood up and exited the ring.

Charlie looked up at Elijah, and the latter gave a curt nod in return.

Soon Orson came down and whispered something in the referee's ears and the referee nodded his head back, looking in the direction of the crowd, he dismissed the crowd for the day.

Soon Charlie was bowing down to his king, respectfully,

"It has been a while Charlie" Elijah stated from his seat as Charlie lifted his head to look at the original vampire.

"Yes, it has been..." Charlie stated back agreeing,

Charlie looked up at Elijah followed by his eyes falling on the blonde man coming beside Elijah.

The witch looked at the hybrid already knowing very well who he was looking at.

"So he too knows the truth then" Charlie stated,

"Yes, he does" Elijah hummed,

Charlie just hummed, before he looked at his king again,

"You could have summoned me at the palace, my lord. There was no need for you to come here by yourself" Charlie was respectful it was true, he genuinely felt that.

"Yes, there was no need but as soon as my brother heard about this place he wanted to come and see the place himself" Elijah informed, and Charlie didn't say anything, feeling a little less bad that it wasn't because of him that his sire had to come here.

"First, Niklaus" Elijah turned towards the hybrid who was listening to both the men talking "As you both are aware now that this is Charlie, and Charlie this is my brother Niklaus" Elijah introduced the two,

"It's good to finally officially meet you Niklaus" Charlie stated raising his hand and taking the hybrid in a firm shake, Klaus too gave a nod.

Unlike James he couldn't sense any kind of power radiating from the witch, by now he had figured that he was one of the powerful witches here, everyone was talking about. Which made him confused he could have felt at least something.

"Well, Charlie I have something I want you to take care of for me" Elijah informed, getting Charlie's undivided attention towards him.

"Just say the word, my Lord..." Charlie stated,

"You may change, and meet me in my palace" Elijah informed me,

"Yes master" he answered, bowing his head, before going in the direction of the changing room,

"Come on let's go back," Elijah said,

"Why can't I hear anything, not even that man's heart beat now that I think of it I wasn't able to hear anything even before..." suddenly the hybrid realized as he whispered out loud,

Elijah had a small smirk forming on his face, he turned to look at his hybrid brother, making Klaus raise his eyebrows in question,

"To keep things fair and fights here even this dungeon is a place of no magic, anything that has a connection to magical roots gets nullified in here. The fight which happens here is entirely based on one's physical strength and agility. Considering your enhanced vampire abilities are caused by magic they too are negated here" the elder original explained, and the hybrid was really stunned to know that.

"Come let's head back, Kol will come and meet us" Elijah stated and the hybrid hummed, before both the brothers head back to the exit.
