Chapter 18

Dimitri

My shoulders feel as if they’re being ripped from my body.

That’s quite possibly because they are.

My wrists are bound above my head, and only the tips of my feet are capable of brushing the cold linoleum ground. It’s white, of course, making the blood smears across the surface even more visible. And the room itself must be magically enchanted to make time stand still, because I’ve been here for what feels like months without any sleep or food. I haven’t died from it yet, but my body feels the effects. I’m tired, sluggish, and my mind is practically inconsolable with madness.

Every bone in my naked body aches fiercely, and my skin feels raw, as if someone has taken sandpaper to my arms, legs, and stomach. My head lolls forward, my chin touching the top of my chest, but I force myself to stay awake, to focus.

You never know when your captives will get complacent, when they’ll fuck up and leave an opening for you to weasel your way through.

Not that I have a lot of experience being held prisoner…

I don’t get caught.

I was an assassin before I even knew how to ride a damn bike, and I’ve never, ever gotten caught before. Not once. I’ve lived a semi-existence for years where I hid in the shadows, my form coalesced from the darkness itself, and never interacted with the world more than I had to. You wouldn’t know I was there unless I wanted you to.

However, a certain infuriating female entered my life like a shooting star providing light to an unrelenting darkness.

A shooting star, might I add, made of acid. Burning. Searing. Mutilating everything it comes into contact with.

Violet fucking Dracula.

And even as I try to muster up the familiar tendrils of anger, I find that I can’t. Blind panic beats against my skull, throbbing in tandem to my racing heart.

What happened to Violet after I was pulled through that portal and into this hellhole? Is she okay? Did she make it out of the hospital in one piece?

The thought of anything happening to Violet, of harm befalling her, makes me clench up instinctively. I try once again to free my wrists from the shackles imprisoning them, but like the thousand times before, it proves to be futile.

Fuck.

“Well, well, well,” a slimy voice coos, the noise punctuated by the slap of bare feet on the cold tile flooring. “Are you ready to talk now, Headmaster Gray?”

I quickly slip my mask back into place, not bothering to dignify such an asinine question with a response.

Too soon, one of my three captors steps in front of me with a hideous grin tugging up his lips.

“Dustin,” I bite out, glaring at the minotaur who had once been a student at Prodigium Academy.

He’s large, nearly as large as Barret, with a head that resembles a raging bull, complete with sharp, curled horns and beady black eyes. Two rings cut through his nostrils, and with every exhale he makes, they sway forward. His top half is distinctly masculine, though it’s covered in a thick layer of pitch-black fur.
