Chapter 14

Drogaem

Standing in my office, I ball my fists and lean forward, resting on the desk. My body is tense and I can feel it getting tired. I don't care how hard I push Kane's body, it will mean nothing to me in the end. I will have my body back and it will be better than ever. The problem is, no matter how seductive she tries to be, or how keen she is to the details, I fear that Briar is working against me. I don't know how she's doing it, or if she even knows she is, but the thought of defeat lurks in my dreams and I shudder at the idea that a mere mortal could get in the way of my plans.

I have been pushing her to work on her magic, but one thing I cannot allow is for her to recover her memories, or the memories that belonged to Lux. They are the key, the answer to all the questions she has probably thought of. If she understands, she will be able to control everything. There is no way that I can let that happen. I need to have complete control over her, no matter what.

I walk around the desk and open the top drawer, pulling out a small vial of blue liquid. I hold it up in front of my face and smirk. I've been working on a serum that blocks Briars visions and even some of her powers. With the way that she's been acting, I thought perhaps it might be hard to even get it into her system, but I haven't had to resort to anything violent, unfortunately. The girl is still a mortal, and prone to distractions and fits of fancy. I see it in her every day. She is careless with the things that she does and her lies are easily seen through.

Nonetheless, the serum will help head these issues off before they begin. The bell tolls overhead in the castle, signaling dinner. I have requested a small party for dinner, just me, Willem, and Briar. Willem has been more useful than I thought he would be. He keeps to himself, doesn't give opinions, and just does what I ask. I feel as if I can trust him to a certain extent. But he is a Reaper, and he is Kane's best friend so I don't expect that loyalty to last once I retrieve my body and take over the Underworld. No matter though, he can perish with the rest of the souls that refuse to go along with what I want. I will not be trifled with, no matter who comes at me.

Leaving my office, the servants scatter and I lurch down the hall to the dining area. When I walk in, both Willem and Briar stand tall, nodding to me. I nod back at them and take a seat, not even looking up as they scoot their chairs in. This time I sit as close to Briar as I can without looking suspicious.
