Within seconds I had finished off Alice and knocked my beautiful Vi out. She had actually done it. I knew the demon that was being kept there would react and remember the presence of its master. Vi didn’t yet it know but she held the contract to a very special person, who still hasn’t come forth. It only confirmed my suspicions.
There was only one way to come in and out of Aztec and that was by carriage. What most forgot was that I had created Aztec those hundreds of years ago. The angels thought they oversaw and ruled it with their own gargoyles and soldiers who could detect any intruder. I made sure that small loop holes were available to my teleportation and mine only.
I picked up my beautiful Vi and cradled her in my arms. Her shirt had been torn open from where the demon inspected the contract. I teleported her into her cell, neatly tucking her in the corner of the room resting her head on the hard floor. I pushed back part of her matted and blood soaked crimson hair. The demon had finally awoken after so many hundred years of slumber. I’m certain it wouldn’t have gone unnoticed by the others and especially Gabe. It awoke as soon as she stepped into Aztec. That demon was purely devoted to protecting its master and I relied on that for her survival in here.
She was the one I have been waiting for. My Queen had finally reappeared and contracted with my sweet, sweet Vi. I brushed my fingers over the droplets of her tattoo. The moment I saw it, I knew and I have patiently waited for things to slowly unravel. Now, I would watch and wait until she would reappear and Vi understood who she truly was.
