Chapter 14 You Are Forever Mine

Please read this note until the end. I'm putting this here to explain a few things before you read this chapter. If you already know my writing style from other novels, you know you have nothing to fear reading my novels.

You'll never find something terrible that leaves a bad taste in your mouth in my novel (that's the intention), I don't like R*pe, NTR, and stuff like that, and even though sometimes people try to hurt girls in my novel, I usually have a brutal MC ready to kill those trash.

But a good story isn't just made of happy moments. I like to write good vibes, but in order for it to really move and captivate the readers, I think it needs some sad and dramatic parts too. Now you might be scared of what's in this chapter, but don't worry; even after the darkest night, the sun will shine again, unfortunately for Klaus.

This chapter is almost three times bigger than any other, and I chose to do it this way so as not to leave you on a cliffhanger. This is a full day's work writing, so I ask you to give me a chance and read it to the end.

I'm not going to lie, someone gets hurt in this chapter, but it's not that serious. You can feel angry and indignant, but my intention is not that, but to create a good story where you can like the plot and characters. Read to the end, and I'll be willing to listen to any criticism you have.

_____________________________

Klaus and Irina are very excited as they talk about everything. He asks about her people, the cultivation, and her home; she asks about his life on Earth, his powers, and his family.

Whatever the subject, everything seems interesting to both of them, and they don't see the time pass. Despite being locked underground in a necromancer sect, they are having a great time together.

But that's not the same for the Sect Master, who observes everything through her magic mirror. She is also fascinated by Klaus, but the fact that he only seems to care about Irina leaves a bitter taste in her mouth.

She considers killing the fairy, but that would hinder her research on Klaus and also make their relationship more complicated, so she patiently watches as she plans her next moves.

After a few hours, she notices the magic feather writing something on her desk, a message naturally. That message says what she feared, the leader of the Golden Sect Master, also her older brother, is requisitioning Klaus in the necromancers' headquarters and has already sent someone to such task, one of his sons who was near to that area.

"Shit!!!" The Sect Master is distraught. But instead of just cursing her bad luck, she starts thinking about what to do. Even being in that area, her nephew will need almost a week to reach the Bronze Skull Sect, so she has some time to prepare a plan.

Every day she goes to the chamber and tries to talk to Klaus; he pretends not to understand her words, and she takes some of his blood before leaving him alone with Irina. But of course, she watches all of their interactions through the mirror, each time he drinks the fairy's blood and her embarrassing moans.

Klaus hates that the Sect Master keeps interrupting his fun with Irina, but his instincts continue to warn him that she is very dangerous. His power is rapidly increasing, but he is still far from recovering half of his original strength since he only takes a little of Irina's blood daily.

Yet, he feels that he is getting closer and closer to being strong enough so that the Sect Master's high cultivation wouldn't be a danger to Irina. He wants to make sure when he makes his move, no one can hurt his lovely fairy.

But destiny is merciless and doesn't care about his plans. One week after the great ritual, the Sect Master's nephew arrives in the Bronze Skill Sect.

The Young Master Jaded; all the girls of the Bronze Skull Sect are delighted with him, and the boys get jealous. Actually, Jared is in no way impressive, but he is the son of the so-called Supreme Master of necromancers, so everyone tries to get close to him.

Even the Sect Master has to bear Jared's spoiled and annoying personality; however, she doesn't even think to talk to him personally but sends Elder Abner to take him to Klaus.

The necromancers do not find the Sect Master's attitude strange, as she is supposed to be upset at losing her interesting specimen. Yet, Abner has the strangest feeling that something is not quite right.

But since Jared clearly doesn't like the Bronze Skull Sect, he wants to get to Klaus as soon as possible. He is far from being the great Supreme Master's favorite son, so completing that task perfectly will earn him some points with his father.

So, Abner leads the annoying young master through the dark corridors of the Bronze Skull Sect toward the secret chamber.

—----------------------------

Klaus doesn't really need sleep, but sometimes he likes to close his eyes and meditate to calm his inner demons and get his thoughts in order. But that day, he couldn't get a second of rest.

As he watches Irina sleeping, he feels his instincts warning him of something terrible. Even though he had a fun week with the fairy, Klaus didn't let his guard down for a second; they are still prisoners, and he has a feeling the Sect Master is up to something.

He even feels that someone is always watching him, but he can only hear Eli and Zadok standing guard on the other side of the chamber's door. Those two don't trigger Klaus' instincts, only the Sect Master.

But Irina told him that Eli and Zadok are in the Martial Warrior Realm, which makes them dangerous enemies as well, so Klaus doesn't think to underestimate them. He still doesn't fully understand how powerful cultivation can be, and that's one more reason for him to be careful.

Anyway, every day Klaus spends in that place, he gets more agitated. He doesn't fear anything they might do to him, but Irina can't stay there anymore. That so hostile and dark place is hurting her from the inside even if she tries to hide it from him.

[Maybe another liter or two of blood would be enough...] Klaus wants to get out of that place as quickly as possible, but he's never sucked a person's blood so carefully, so he doesn't know what limit he can reach before hurting Irina.

[???] He hears distant footsteps in the hallway outside the chamber. As he regains his strength more and more, his body returns to how it was before, and so are his super senses, which allow him to hear things even through the dense walls of the chamber.

Then the chamber doors open, and instead of the Sect Master, Klaus sees Abner and a young man with luxurious clothes and a more arrogant smile than Zadok's.

"So that's the thing??" Jared's voice is even more irritating than his smug eyes. He looks at Klaus with a fake disappointed and disgusted expression. "He doesn't seem a big deal."

Abner shakes his head but then gets surprised to see how Klaus looks now. The Sect Master has been the only one to enter the chamber for the last few days, and only now does he notice that Klaus seems very healthy.

[Tall, handsome, and strong...] Abner barely recognizes Klaus. Except for his long white hair, still pale skin, and crimson eyes, the vampire looks like a new person.

Of course, Klaus' beauty would hurt Jader's pride as well as any other young man's, so the arrogant young master turns his eyes to the sleepy Irina.

"The fairy, on the other hand, is just as beautiful as they said..." Jared comments without hiding the lust in his eyes, but there is also wickedness and cruelty there. "Tsk! Karma is really a bitch for giving such a disgusting animal great beauty."

Klaus feels his instincts scream louder than ever. So far, he's managed to keep Eli and Zadok away from Irina, but there's something about Jared that makes him really concerned. He could see in the young master's eyes how much he wanted to hurt the fairy.

[DAMN!!] Klaus starts to regret not drinking more of Irina's blood, but he couldn't risk hurting her either.

"Are you going to sleep forever??" Jared yells at Irina.

"Hmm..." She wakes up feeling very rested again and sees Jared beside Abner. Her expression is a mixture of disgust and contempt. "Who are you, assface?"

"What did you say?!?" Jared couldn't expect the fairy's gaze and words would crush his pride so quickly.

Klaus feels more and more that this situation is about to get bad quickly, but he's not seeing the whole picture yet. [Why is the Sect Master not there? Who is that guy? Why doesn't he seem affected by my aura???]

A part of him thinks about trying to drink more blood from Irina right now, but doing that too abruptly could hurt her, and more importantly, he feels the Sect Master is just waiting for the moment when he reveals his true nature for her to make her move.

It's like a game of chess where two people are deadlocked, and whoever makes the first wrong move loses the whole game. He can't make mistakes, but at the same time, he doesn't know which is the right way.

Irina, on the other hand, has no sense of danger. She was already hotheaded before meeting Klaus, but now next to him, she feels even more fearless.

"Didn't you hear me, assface???" She mocks Jared again. "Maybe you have a cock in your ear and can't hear me?!?!"

"Damn, that girl is asking for death!" Jared takes Irina's cage key from Abner and starts walking toward her.

"Young Master..." Abner has already felt Klaus's murderous aura when people approach the fairy, so he fears what is about to happen. But the Sect Master's orders are clear, and he must do everything Jared orders him.

Jared's eyes are drawn to Irina's beautiful glowing wings, and he talks to Abner again. "Don't just stand there, old man; go get the biggest scissors you have in this place!"

Abner quickly goes to order his pupil to get the scissors while Jaded walks over to Irina. She doesn't show any fear, but Klaus discovers what it's like to be afraid after hundreds of years without feeling anything like that.

Klaus feels his hands sweat, his fingers itch, and his heart starts to beat faster. He tries to use the full power of his aura to push Jared away, but a golden pendant around the young master's neck prevents him from feeling that powerful force.

[Shit, shit, shit!!] Klaus grows more and more impatient, and when Jared opens Irina's cage, he tries to grab the young necromancer's arm.

*Whoosh*

Klaus acts as fast as the wind, but the doors of the cages are distant, and his arm does not reach Jared, who laughs at him. "Oh, do you want to protect your girlfriend?? It would be better to teach her to keep her mouth shut... but it's too late now; I'll teach her to behave."

"Don't touch her!" Klaus finally speaks in the presence of people other than Irina. He doesn't care anymore if he's falling into the Sect Master's trap; he can't allow Irina to be harmed.

Klaus' words carry the full power of his murderous aura and that weighs like a mountain above Elder Abner, causing the old necromancer to kneel on the floor as he brings the big scissors to Jared. But the young master doesn't feel anything because the golden pendant on his neck glows more and more, blocking any hostile energy.

Irina finally understands how bad the situation is when she sees Klaus' worried expression. Ever since he arrived in that place, he always seemed so calm and confident, even when the Sect Master was piercing and cutting various parts of his body. But now he seems to be really scared, and that's because of her.

But now there's nothing she can do. Jared avoids going near Klaus' cage as he quickly grabs Irina's arm. His cultivation is far superior to hers, so he has no trouble dragging the poor fairy out of the cage.

"Don't do that!!! DAMN!!" Klaus yells at Jared. "You'll regret it so badly if you hurt her!! I'm warning you, little human; I'm going to make you feel more pain than you can ever imagine!!"

Klaus' rage gets so powerful that Abner can't even breathe on the floor, but Irina and Jared are unaffected by that; the fairy due to Klaus not wanting to hurt her, and the young master due to the powerful defensive artifact around his neck.

"Your crying doesn't affect me, freak." Jared ignores Klaus' threats and presses Irina's body to the floor in a way that her face is in the direction of Klaus's cage.

"FUCK!! I WILL KILL YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!!!" Klaus feels like he's in that dark day again, just before he lost control on Earth.

He had never felt such a strong attraction for someone like Irina. She is so sweet and pure that it's impossible not to love her. He had already planned to spend eternity alongside her, but now that bright future may never exist. He begins to think that maybe he only deserves the cold shadows and never be happy…

[Maybe I don't deserve her, but she doesn't deserve this shit!] Klaus tries to control his emotions and think of a way to help Irina.

Only those bars are in his way, so he tries to open his way through them with brute force. But no matter how hard he tries, the bars seem immovable; the Sect Master made sure to put the best metal they had in there and reinforce it hundreds of times with all the magical energy she could.

"DAMN! DAMN!!!" Klaus pushes his body beyond its limits, trying to break the bars that keep him from saving Irina. But no matter how strong his resolve and rage are, he simply doesn't have the strength to do that now.

Irina is thrilled to see how much Klaus cares for her, but in the end, that's only causing him pain. She doesn't think to beg Jared for mercy as she knows that would encourage the necromancer to hurt her more.

She starts to cry as she looks at the suffering in Klaus' eyes. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

That scene breaks Klaus's heart, and his rage reaches a new level. His aura is pure hate, and Abner starts shaking on the floor, having several convulsions; The old necromancer is at the peak of the Martial Warrior Realm, but his body's inner defenses are totally broken by the power of Klaus' murderous aura.

But Jared doesn't even seem to care that the pendant around his neck is glowing more and more; he is blind with rage at Irina and full of desire to make Klaus suffer.

"What's wrong with you, old man??" Jared doesn't care about Abner dying there on the floor, and he doesn't care why that's happening either.

Abner is unable to respond due to so much fear, so Jared releases Irina to pick up the scissors on the floor. At that moment, she tries to run toward Klaus, but Jared reaches her first.

"NO! NO!!! NOOOO!!!" Klaus screams as loud as he can as his beloved is about to be hurt, but he can't do anything, which makes him feel as helpless as he was when the witches locked his family in those coffins. That is the same crushing pain that makes him prefer death instead of seeing his beloved ones suffering.

*PAH!*

The sound of the big scissors' blades hitting against each other echoes through the chamber, and it takes Irina a second to understand the pain she is feeling as a pair of her beautiful and delicate wings fall from her body.

[DAMNNNNN!!!] She uses all her will not to cry out in pain; She doesn't want to cause Klaus any more pain, but her already injured heart takes another hard blow with the loss of those wings.

Tears of blood fall from her eyes as Jared opens two holes in her back, severing a pair of her wings from the base. Blood spurts everywhere, but the sadistic necromancer doesn't stop, positioning the scissors over Irina's other pair of wings.

"DON'T DO THAT, YOU BASTARD!!!" Klaus feels like he's about to be broken, and nothing can stop that. If Irina dies there, he will never be able to forgive himself.

She can see that in his eyes, and crying, she keeps apologizing to him. "This shouldn't happen... forgive me..."

"Now it's too late for excuses!" Jared laughs as he uses all his strength to cut off Irina's other pair of wings.

*PAH!!*

That brutal sound pierces Klaus' soul as Irina cannot bear the pain and cry. "AAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

More blood splashes from the wounds on her back. Her wings were so beautiful, but now Irina's back is in a bloody mess as she cries on the floor. Not even in his worst nightmares could Klaus imagine a scene like that.

"What a mess…" Jared lets go of Irina as he tries to wipe her blood from his clothes.

Irina no longer has any hope of living. Her wings were connected to her entire spine, and it kept her body working properly. Her wings cannot be regenerated, and not even her people's most powerful magic can prevent her future from being immobile in a bed, depending on others even for eating.

Somehow she knows that Klaus would be willing to take care of her until the end of her life in that deplorable state, but she refuses to do that to him. Now she just wants to die, so he doesn't suffer anymore.

But none of those options are in Klaus' plans. As soon as Jared lets go of Irina, he starts calling her. "Irina... come to me... quickly!"

She barely has the strength to keep breathing, but Klaus won't give up on her, so she tries to crawl to him. She doesn't have any hope of living the beautiful bright future she dreamed of, but in her last few seconds alive, she could give Klaus a chance to get out of there and take revenge for her.

While Jared is checking on Abner, Irina manages to get to Klaus' cage. She uses the last of her strength to move her arm toward him. "I couldn't help you more... but here... drink it all... and kill them."

Even in that condition, Irina is trying to help Klaus; she wants to give him even her last breath. No matter how perfect he thinks she is, she continues to surprise him.

But now they have no time, so Klaus takes Irina's arm and gently stabs his fangs into her wrist; he needs a lot of blood to break those bars, and she already has so little remaining that he fears the worst, but it's still the only way.

[Don't die... please, don't die!!] Klaus mentally pleads as he drinks Irina's blood. Even though his family's situation is bad, Klaus knows they're alive inside those coffins, so it's not as bad as if Irina died.

Irina thought she wanted to die after losing her wings, but while Klaus drinks her blood, she feels unwilling to abandon him. She never knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life, but after meeting Klaus, she found it out; and that is to stay by his side, help him find his family, and take care of him forever.

Feeling that she is abandoning him is more painful than the wounds in her back, so she cries to her heart's content.

"No, no, don't cry, my dear..." Klaus stops drinking her blood and wipes her tears. "I just need a few seconds, so I'm going to fix this…everything will be fine."

There is no hope in Irina's heart now, but Klaus manages to bring warm feelings inside it. His sweet words comfort her at that moment, and she feels it's like a gift.

"Thank you... Klaus." She makes an effort to smile before her eyes start to close.

[NO!!!] Klaus refuses to accept that end and focuses all the blood he just drank from her inside his body. That hot, powerful blood runs through his veins, restoring much of his power.

"NOOOOO!!!!" He yells again as his veins become visible over his pale skin. All that power coursing through his body is because of Irina, so he will use all of it to save her.

"What the hell?!?!" Jared is shocked to see Klaus like that.

"He..." On the floor, still convulsing, Elder Abner uses his remaining strength to try to say something. "He's a monster..."

"A mons-" Jared tries to say something but again is shocked when he sees Klaus rip the bars off the cage.

Now much more powerful and faster than before, Klaus disappears like a shadow.

*Whoosh*

He reappears in front of Jared, carrying one of the cage's bars. The young necromancer cannot understand how Klaus is so fast, and before he can make any move, the vampire holds the protective pendant in his hand.

[HOW???] Jared doesn't understand how Klaus can hold that pendant as it's supposed to ward off any hostile energy; not even someone from the Martial Lord Realm could harm him while he wears that.

But Klaus doesn't care about that; he crushes the pendant in his hand as if it were a simple stone.

*BAM!*

The pendant becomes just dust, releasing a powerful wave of energy inside the chamber. Jared tries to attack Klaus, but as soon as he loses the pendant's protection, that powerful and frightening aura of Klaus falls on him heavily.

"Impossible-" He tries to understand what's going on, but if not even someone as experienced as Abner managed to withstand that murderous aura, let alone a spoiled brat like him.

Jared drops to his knees, but before reaching the floor, Klaus pierces his belly with the bar of the cage, making it pass through the young necromancer's guts and reach Abner's body on the floor, also stabbing him.

Klaus uses the same bar to pin Jared to Abner, causing both of them a lot of pain; but as he only pierces their bellies, that's not a fatal blow, albeit an ugly one.

*Whoosh*

In less than three seconds, Klaus returns to Irina; he could have tried to help her first, but then Jared and Abner could have screwed up; but now both necromancers are on the floor, and he can heal Irina.

But to heal her, he needs to make her drink his blood; his blood can be as beneficial to other people as their blood is to Klaus, and that is information he very much wanted to hide from the Sect Master and even from Irina.

He no longer cares about the consequences of Irina drinking his blood because it's the only way to save her now, but she's losing consciousness and doesn't have the strength to drink it from his wrist.

[Think, Klaus, think!!!] He tries to think of something, and a crazy idea comes to his mind.

Since that's the only idea he has right now, he does it. First, he uses his fangs to cut his own tongue, causing his black blood to ooze out of his mouth.

Then he kneels down, takes Irina in his arms, and kisses her sweet lips, thrusting his bloodied tongue into her mouth and making her drink his blood.

[Come on, Irina, drink it!!] He begs in his mind.

And like the last ray of hope, Irina opens her eyes again. The blood entering her body is so powerful that it creates explosions of energy inside her, healing her wounds at an unbelievable speed.

Klaus's blood works in others' bodies much better than theirs do in his; just a few drops of that black vampire blood quickly brings new life into Irina's body.

And she finds it so tasty and addictive that she wraps her tongue around Klaus's, trying to suck every drop of that dangerous and powerful liquid.

He can't help but worry about what she'll become after drinking his blood, but he can't deny her anything, especially after nearly losing her that way. So, he lets her drink as much of his blood as he wants.

"Mmmm..." Irina starts moaning not only because of how good Klaus's blood makes her feel but also because that is their first kiss, a bloody kiss that will forever change her life.

[Take it easy, my dear...] Klaus thinks as he continues giving his blood to Irina. [Nothing can hurt you now... nothing will ever hurt you again... I'll kill them all before they get a chance.]
