Zoarah City Mental hospital.
Betty lay on her hospital bed restrained by straps starting from her shoulders to her waist line.
She has been acting out of character since her encounter with Jake and his men. They had torture her mentally thereby landing her in the mental hospital.
A nurse walked up to her to administer her daily doses.
"Stay away! Ahhhhh don't come any closer. You cannot kill me. Ahhh." Came Betty's terrified voice.
The poor nurse quickly injected the drug into her IV drip and quickly departed.
They had been warned not to initiate a conversation with a patient that acts out so as not to stimulate them more.
"Dr. Droid I don't think the patient in ward 307 can be discharged in a week's time." The nurse said to the doctor on seat regarding Betty's condition.
"I had the same thoughts but her parents are persistent. I'll communicate with them on the issues on hand. I want you to give me a detailed written report on her condition together with her case file in the next half hour." Droid said as he kept on going through the files on his table not taking his eyes of it for a second.
"Yes professor." She said and excused herself.
Logan's mansion.
Later that afternoon.
Elsa walked through the big gates with a subtle smile on her face. Logan had seeked her presence alone. Maybe he had an important task for her that even his favourite Darius couldn't handle.
This reasoning made her feel that Logan saw her as an important figure.
She remembered how they first met in a dire situation.
She's a native of Grim city in the underworld and were neighbours with Red blood city, a home to vampires and black witches.
Most natives of Grim city were grim reapers of different ranks. Her parents were Grim reapers but were killed.
The both cities were at odds and lives were lost.The devil then sent Logan there to intervene. As Logan arrived hundreds of lives had already been lost.
Logan is a native of Sin city, the most peaceful city that housed demons.
As soon as the Red bloods saw the rumoured demonlord they scurried away while the unwilling ones stayed.
Seeing their reluctance to leave, he served them with death.
That was when he met Elsa on the verge of death.
"H-help...me." She said as she coughed up blood. The handsome demon walked towards her and ordered his men to take her back with them while the other injured ones were treated and given reliefs.
He trained her to be the woman she is today. From the first time she woke from her unconsciousness as and met his golden gaze, she fell in love with him.
She stepped into his study and bowed.
"My lord. You summoned me."
He lifted his gaze from the littered papers on this desk.
"I'll be leaving this realm today. I have things to attend to in the other realms. So I am entrusting my mate's safety to you." He stated with emphasis on the last sentence.
Elsa abruptly raised her head before lowering it again.
"But my lord..." She got interrupted before she could come up with any excuses.
"I believe you don't have an issue with it do you. I trust that you will take good care of her in my place. You may leave. I'll be departing tonight." He said as his gaze quickly returned to his work.
"Yes my lord." She bowed one again before exiting.
Logan materialised in Layla's room and found her sleeping peacefully. He pecked her on her hair before vanishing.
Having completed signing documents, contracts and other official paperworks he handed the company to his trusted aide, Morgan.
He would be gone for only a few days at most a week.
He left for the underworld, Red Blood city to be precise.
He met his men who were already awaiting his arrival at the city walls.
In the dead of night, five men walked through the shadows.
"We take action tonight. Take me to their coven." Logan said with a calm expression. His men knew not to be fooled by his facial expressions. They knew that behind the calm held a mighty storm.
In minutes they arrived at a village with no one in sight.
"Burn." Just with a word from him and all the huts caught fire. People ran out all sleepiness vanished.
"Fire! Fire!" They shouted as some tried putting it out while others had already been badly burned.
A few turned around and saw the red eyed demon accompanied by four other demons as well.
"L-Logan! It's lord Logan. Run!!!" They screamed and ran in different directions all in panic with no sense of direction.
"Get them all. No one should escape. They all deserve to die." Immediately his men moved tying, beating, crippling and gave them all sorts of punishment to bring them to Logan.
As he moved the wind threw the bodies in the air. Digging out hearts, chopping of heads and severing different parts of their bodies. It was a bloody mess.
Rage filled his whole being. They dared mess with the precious life of his mate. The would be the scapegoats for others to learn.
His men were able to capture fifty alive while Logan had already wiped out the entire village. Corpses could be seen every where with missing body parts.
The alive ones trembled in fear. Their magic wouldn't work to save them as Logan had rendered them useless.
" I don't need many of you alive. But I'll just ask a you a question." He gave a dramatic pause.
Various thoughts flowed through their minds, each one wondering what the question could be.
To their utmost surprise they never expected such question.
"Why don't you love your lives." He said rather than a question. He didn't wait for any response and in less than three seconds about twenty bodies lay on the grounds motionless and dismembered.
"We plead you to pardon us lord Logan!" They shouted at different intervals but all pleas fell on deaf ears.
"The families of those men step out by yourselves right now." Without waiting for him to repeat himself again the others pushed them out.
"Hm I see." He just said as he nodded his head gently. The rest thought they had escaped his wrath when the next words from his lips made them shrink in terror.
"Skin them alive."
