“Aren, why did you not tell them the whole truth?” Marcus asks.
“I told them what they need to know, but yes, I did withhold some part of what transpired, that time we are in the clutches of those lunatic to check something,” Aren said.
“What is it then? What did you see that I had missed?” Marcus asked.
“I think... We should accept their offer. We do need strong allies if we are going to face Luca Romanov again.
I am sure this time he won't let us get away as easily as before. He will serve our head on his dinner plate for good.” Aren said in a defeated voice.
“Do you think it is for the best? We both know what..." Gritting his teeth he huffs out of frustration before continuing.
"I mean you know who he wanted to have in exchange!" Marcus exclaimed.
"I do not care whether he was just bluffing or what but when it comes to Callum. I do not want to take any unnecessary wagers when it comes to his safety," Marcus added.
"Yes, you're right. We should not take Callum's safety for granted.
“You still remember it right?... Cause I do. I still remember it. Like it just happened yesterday and not a decades ago” Aren mumbled with a sad face.
“ Since that cruel incident takes place. despite our wounds perfectly healed minus, Callum. The memory is still fresh in my mind, phantom pain still lingers deep within my bones, The sound of his cries still gives me nightmares. Constantly reminding me of what occurred on that unfortunate day,” Aren said melancholy.
“ Yeah. I can never forget how our lives had been doomed and saved after a day of torture in that place. How Cal got that mark that renders him to fly back to his home and be trapped here for the rest of his immortal life.” Marcus said with a sad smile.
"Aren come on! Use magic!"
“I can't Marcus. This castle is surrounded by power restraining enchantments. Just run as fast as you can.”
“Excuse me. Thank you for letting me join you but do you have any other plan for us to escape without them catching us?” Callum asks.
“Don't worry Beautiful, there is a hole that was hidden at the furthermost corner of this castle's wall and it's enough to fit us by crawling,” Aren said.
“Let's hope we manage to get there before they catch up on us,” Marcus said.
“Look guys were almost there!” Marcus exclaimed before he passed out.
Aren who is near Marcus has also been struck by lightning.
Callum runs towards Aren to wake him up.
“Mr. Please wake up! ” Callum wailed while shaking the elf awake.
When his arm was yanked harshly causing him to bump into his assailant.
Argo grabbed Callum's arm painfully.
“Do you think you can escape us, Angel?” Argo asks mockingly before he slaps Callum hard making him fall.
Pain and dizziness from the force of the slap overtaken Callum, causing him to lost consciousness.
"Bring them to the dungeon," Argo said before leaving. Excitement runs through his veins for what he prepared for his three little escapees.
Callum was awakened by a swish in the air followed by an agonizing scream.
“Aaahhhhh!!!!”
Opening his eyes. He saw his new friends hanged to the ceiling. Arms spread wide by the chains, feet barely touching the ground. Both of them were badly beaten and still being whipped by the guards.
Despite him trembling from fear he urges himself to shout, trying to gain the guard's attention.
“Stop! Please! They have nothing to do with me!” Callum cried out. Tears falling down his eyes.
“So finally you're awake. Well, my dear Angel. It doesn't matter whether they're with you or not. They enter this place uninvited so discipline is warranted, right?" Argo stated as he commands the guard to carry on what they're doing.
Callum now crying hysterically kept on begging Argo.
"Please, please I beg you."
"Tsk tsk. You should have known better my dear Callum.
Didn't you learn your lesson before? You already know that's what happens to those who oppose us,” Argo said with a very fake condescending tone as he walks towards Callum.
Grabbing a full fist of Callum's hair forcing him to look up from where he was laying.
"Arghh!" Callum grabs Argo's hand trying to break free.
“And that will also happen to you. You will be punished for trying to escape.” Dragging Callum by his to get him hanged on another chained
Getting the whip Argo raised it and swing it down on Callum's bareback.
Aaaahhhh!!!!!!
Callum's screams are deafening. The agony is clear on his every cry.
Aren and Marcus saw how Argo enjoys hurting Callum making him scream on his every strike. He looks like a sick mad man. He kept on lashing Callum's back until the flesh are ripped, bleeding profusely.
That should have been worse enough for punishment but no what worst than that was the way that sick Argo is touching Callum.
Argo can't help admiring what was before him. An Angel painted in red. Perfect. Marvelous.
Wrapping his hand around Callum's waist pressing their body together. Caressing Callum's wet face from a combination of sweat and tears lovingly. Argo couldn't help himself from tasting such enticing entrée before him. Runs his tongue from Callum's cheeks down to his neck.
Smirking. Argo loves how Callum's body is trembling before him flinching at his every touch.
He kept on licking, savoring the taste of Callum's soft sweaty milky neck
before biting the flesh hard enough to draw blood.
Callum despite losing his voice from the previous screaming still lets out a hoarse cry of pain.
Argo loving the tortured sound Callum is giving off, dips his finger on Callum's back right on the torn skin. Making him holler even more and that's when Luca barged into the place.
“Argo, what is the meaning of this!” Luca exclaimed as he shoves Argo away from Callum.
“Your little Angel tried to escape for the second time with the help of those idiots,” Argo explained nonchalantly before he left the place like nothing happened, leaving Luca to deal with the rest.
Cal, why did you do this? Look at what happened to you? Luca said. Releasing Callum from the chains, he laid him down to the ground gently.
“Now what do we have here? Oh yeah. Who are you insects and how did you manage to get in my palace?” Luca asks. Striking Aren and Marcus with a lightning bolt.
Luca is about to end Aren and Marcus's lives but was stopped by Callum. He desperately crawls towards Luca and begs him.
“Please, please Luca!! Stop it! Stop it! I will do anything you want. Please let them go. Spare them this is all my fault!” Callum said while crying.
Luca bent down and hug Callum. Running his hand on Callum's hair repeatedly.
“You will do anything?”
Callum nods.
“Then will you stay here with me? Stay with me, be mine and I promise you I will let them go. But if not, then... Raising his hand, lightning appears."
A sobbing Callum grabs Luca's hand.
“Yes, yes I will stay. Just let them leave this place peacefully.”
Aren and Marcus were shocked. Why would someone willingly give up their freedom to someone they just met? Despite them being in pain they know that it is not right.
“Stop it! Please, Callum. You don't have to do this!” Marcus yells.
Please stop Marcus, it's Ok. Luca, please don't get mad at them. I already agreed with you, can we go now. Please?" Callum said trying to placate Luca.
"As you wish my Angel."
Hugging Callum. Luca looked at Aren and Marcus, smirking tauntingly. Silently casting a silencing spell on the two, he then put a stone inside his mouth.
Luca captured Callum's lips. Making him swallow a bloody colored stone that makes his body start feeling hot.
Callum screams as a burning sensation runs through his veins. Holding on to Luca whimpering as waves of pain assaulted his entire being.
"You know my Angel. This would have never happened if you just listen to me.
I told you didn't I. You can't leave this place yet. Yes, you are right that your wings are already healed. But haven't you noticed? That every time you use your wings pain shots through it.
I was contented my love to just have your wings clipped by enchantments but then you just have to do this. Your repeated attempt to escape. Leaves me no choice, my love. So I specially made this stone for you. I do not know how much this may affect you as it is its only kind. Let's just hope that you went past the ordeal, my love. It is made out of pulverized angel's blade, holy oil mixed with immortal blood, and cast with an angel banishing sigil. I know these are fatal for angels like you but with only a copious amount and thorough study of said substances. Let's hope that it does what I wanted it to do, which is. Permanently rendering your transformation and having you stuck here in the Mortal Realm." Luca explained while holding Callum lovingly. Such a twisted way of loving a person.
With Callum's muddled mind from too much pain, barely acknowledges what Luca had said.
Callum writhing in so much suffering but unable to have any relief of losing consciousness. His cries of agony were heard by everyone within the Wizards Castle.
Luca seeing the telltale sign of the curse mark. It is time to do the final step. The mark of ownership.
“It's ok baby the pain will go soon. Sleep now, my love.” Luca whispered as he bites Callum's neck completing the curse.
Aren and Marcus are horrified at what Luca has declared. They couldn't believe that the guy had just forced an Angel to fall. Slash the fact that the substances he used are fatal for angels, that repercussion of using said substances may lead Callum to die. But mixing an immortal's blood is an understatement. What kind of immortal creature did he even get the blood from?! Aren and Marcus hang their heads in defeat. They couldn't believe what they had witnessed. They are horrified— appalled by how twisted the person who has claimed Callum as his. How far this man's obsession has gone through. It is too late. Even if Callum manages to find a way of removing the curse the fact that his blood has been tainted. He will never be able to return to the Heaven Realm
“You were lucky my Angel begs for you low lives,” Luca said towards them.
“Throw them far away from here.”
After they were thrown away from the palace they never forget the angel who gave them a chance to live. So when a war strike Luca's palace they made a plan to get Callum out of that dreadful place.
That is how their journey began. Trying their best to hide from the clutches of Luca Romanov. But it seems their game of "hide and seek" is about to come to its end.
Their gloomy faces light up when they saw their friend running towards them with his ever bright smile. The two both bow to their lives that they will protect their Angel no matter what.
