CAST OUT

Receiving the punishment II

“Elina!” His thunderous voice yelled. Right from where he was standing at the top of the stairs. His voice sent her shivering real hard, it hasn’t been long he left her and she had already caused trouble for herself.

Elina felt rooted to the ground, where she could neither move or walk. The glare she was getting from the man. Whose appearance totally looked like that of a devil incarnate. The only thing missing was the horn. The supposed lore Gilbert. As he was called by Kenzo. He was yelling in her face. But she couldn’t hear a word. She felt lost, already foreseeing her punishment. The hard whip on her bare back. How she was gonna strip, and stay in there till forever. Her hands felt cold. She rubbed them together and fell on the feet of lord Gilbert, begging for mercy.

“You!” He snarled.

“Get out of my sight!”

“Now!”

Elina looked at him from her glasses. His suit was stain with, his hair as well, he was completely drenched in the chicken porridge. It wasn’t her fault rights. It just happened too fast. She’d nothing to do with it. The excuse was not good enough. He would even look at her or hear her say such gibberish.

He was staring at the stairs. Obviously Kenzo was almost down. His footsteps was very light on the stairs, though he was running downstairs. Lord Gilbert paced in front of Elina. Non of the guard around could touch him. They stood far from him.

Just watching.

“I want this thing thrown out.” He ordered.

Kenzo met up with them. And bent his head a little.

Elina felt so bad. She sniffed. Wiping the tears off her face. He had his head bent to someone because of her. He wouldn’t have done that if she’s made a mess of everything. It was all her fault.

She remained on the floor, like she was worshipping Buddha.

“How are you gonna pay for this disaster? Look what you caused!”

“I’ll pay for it.”

“I don’t need your money. Kenzo. You should know that.”

“What do you want?”

“Where did you get this clumsy, dirty, thing from, she totally reeks. I want her to get punished.”

“She would be punished.”

“I would do it myself. Give her to me.”

Elina lift her head up. Staring at Kenzo. He stuffed his hands in his pocket. And exhale. He gave Elina a quick glance. And look away.

Is he gonna give her away?

“Are you bringing her to me or not. I’ll punish her myself. For what she did. I’ll make she regrets it.”

“Why do you want her? You can’t just take her away from here.”

“Is that a no?”

He chuckled. And touched his Grey hair. Walked past Kenzo, with his walking stick. He walked round him. And stood in front of him.

“It’s a simple yes or no.”

Kenzo looked at her again.

“I can’t give her to you lord Gilbert. We would punish her here. She belongs here. And isn’t going anywhere. Is that much of an answer to you.”

“Ha-ha.” He laughed.

“You looked down at me Kenzo. Don’t forget you owe me one.”

“We already sort that out. I got engaged.” He showed him his middle finger.

“Oh sorry, that’s not the right finger.”

Lord Gilbert boiled in fury. His knuckles tighten into a fist.

“I’ve already apologize, you should leave. Aziel show him out.”

“How could you?, you came begging me to help you, to be own your side. And I gave you want you want. This how you pay me back for all I’ve done. I gave you my daughter.”

“She willing came to me.”

He smirked.

Lord Gilbert, groaned.

“I’ll make you pay for this.”

Aziel opened the door for him. He glare at him and walked out. He shut it behind him.

Elina couldn’t raise her head. She keep hitting it on the floor.

“Did you call him over?”

“I didn’t.”

“It’s bad.”

“What?”

“It’s gonna be more bloody sir. There’s no one on your side anymore.”

“I don’t need them, this time Aziel, it’s violence. We take it by force. Who doesn’t agree to it. We kill him.”

His jaw tightened. Which was enough evidence that he was more than angry.

“Then who votes, if you kill them all?”

“We’ll see.”

He turned to Elina. And hunkered down beside her. He held her hairs roughly, lifting her head up. With the other hand removed the glasses on her face. He held her hair tightly. Her veins were in view.

“Little girl.” His voice was cold.

“Couldn’t seems to get out of trouble do you?”

What could she say. She couldn’t possibly say anything. He called her little, making her seems so small already. Compared to him. She was little.

“Do you want to die?”

She shook her head in negativity. She doesn’t want to, not yet though.

“I gave you orders. Didn’t I?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She nodded affirmative.

His hands tighten around her hair. She whimpers, and sniffed, her face was already soaked with tears. With it, he lift her off her feet. She shuddered. Crying.

“It’s hurts.”

“Really? I didn’t hold it well then, what about this?” He lift her up. Removing her feet from the floor.

“You look like a rabbit.”

She heard Aziel chuckled. Though he felt sorry for her. But there’s nothing he could do about it. She was still getting punished.

“I don’t go back on my words.”

He hurled her aside. She fell on the floor. Gasping for breath.

She hugged herself. Curling on the floor.

“Take her away Aziel. Lock her up in the dungeon!” He turned away from her.

“Yes sir..” Aziel nodded and went up to Elina on the floor. He pick up her glasses.

“Don’t give her the glasses.”

How did he know when his back was against them. He nodded anyway and help her up.

She wipe her tears. He was cruel. She knew, he hurt too much. She wipe them off again.

Walking with Aziel.

He was wicked. Any possible way, she was gonna escape from here. Run away. Far, just disappear and never get to see his face again.

She was never coming back here. To this monster that calls himself.

Kenzo.

He was a beast.

Kenzo watched her walk away with Aziel. He didn’t even hurt her that much and she was already dying. She was small, and innocent, someone that shouldn’t be involved with this at all. He couldn’t let her go because she was already a target by Hazard and lord Gilbert. So much as he tried not to hurt her. He didn’t hurt her that much. She end up crying like he tore her apart.

What’s he gonna do to her?

Train her?
