Rise of the Malactric Heir

Blood splashed on Alix's face like droplets of rain.

He opened his eyes and was shocked to see the person standing before him and the one who was pierced by the sword was no other than the princess.

"Your... your highness," he called out as his eyes trembled while looking at the blood running down her arm for the sword pierced her just above the heart.

"You are... being careless," she mumbled as she was about to hit him then saw his eyes tremble when he looked at the frightened bullies, she grabbed onto the handle of the sword and his body went back to normal.

"Why? why did you do that?" he asked as she looked at him and the tiger appeared beside her.

"I am fine, relax," she said while pulling out the sword and he sighed.

"Catch," she said as she threw the sword to him and he grabbed onto it.

"Your wound," he said.

"Oh, this little thing, i will be fine," she replied then turned around looking at the bully and his two friends trembling in fear.

"Now, now, I just placed a curse on you, if any of you tell anyone about what happened here tonight, you will die instantly, I am a person of my word, you idiots know that now run along like good little boys, go hug your pillow and cry while praying your mouths doesn't slip," she said and the three boys ran away without hesitation.

"Did you really curse them?" Alix asked.

"Nope, I just scared them, they will believe I did, they all consider me cruel at times," she responded as she downed her head and placed her hand on the wound.

"Go home Alix," she said.

"I... I am sorry," he replied as she glanced at his nervous face and then scoffed.

"You don't have to apologize, I know you were stronger than you looked but this strong, I am a little impressed, it's your first step to becoming well not weak," she said.

"I won't use these monstrous powers," he replied and she looked at him sternly.

'Are you trying to make me dig your grave?" she asked and he looked at her.

"You want me to use these powers?" he asked.

'Without them, you will not be able to win, I wouldn't have picked your team members if I hadn't seen potential in them, including you, I swear you let me down and will cut you limb by limb," she responded ed and he smiled nervously.

"I don't have control over these powers nor do I know what they really are, what if I am a true monster?" he asked and she scoffed.

'Do I look like I care? I was going to shape you into one anyway, if I were you, I would play around with them, you know to get the hang of your powers," she responded as he stared at her wondering if he was hearing correctly.

'Are you okay?" he asked.

'Stop looking at me as if I am delusional, you will learn about your powers, I know deep down you yearn to know about them," she responded and he sighed.

"You are right, i want to but if one day it turns back to bite you don't come crying to me," he said with a smirk and she scoffed as they walked out of the building.

"Are you going to the hospital?" he asked as the tiger disappeared.

"I am healed," she said as he looked at her and sighed in relief.

"Go home," she replied then just disappeared and he went back to his apartment instead of going to visit Sally at the bakery like he usually does.

Upon arriving back at his apartment, Alix saw the shards of the broken mirror on the floor and began cleaning it up.

While he was cleaning he noticed his eyes constantly changing colors, they went from green, red blue, and purple.

"She wants me to explore my powers, I don't know what I am playing with here but I have no intention of losing, I will become a monster if I have to, this world is full of places for them anyway," he thought as he threw the shards into the dustbin in the kitchen, took his shirt off and went to freshen up.

"Your highness, I am here to report," a guy said as he appeared in the main hall of the castle where the princess was sitting on the couch in bloody clothes.

'What happened to you?" he asked.

"You are a spy, go on what's your report?" she asked.

"Your highness I don't know who I am supposed to tell this but it only seems right to come to you since I told you about the Genome editing, your students are being targets, they are using the tournament to execute something," he said and she stood up immediately.

"What's your source?" she asked.

"A demon spy, he was visiting the arena after the match with Sarah earlier, upon arriving there he saw a few guys in cloaks talking about you and your students, they feel one of them,in particular is a threat to mankind but the funny thing is they don't know who, I don't know what's going on, but this tournament needs to end," he responded.

"No, it will go on, my father and no one else hears of this, they will lock Sarah and the others up, I have a pretty good hunch, I am sure they sensed something strong in their presence, they might be behind the vampire hunters and the dire wolves attack too, we need to think this through carefully, find out more but be careful," she said.

'As you wish your highness, I will do as you ask," he replied then left and she sighed then left to her room.

After Alix finished taking his bath, he got dressed and left his apartment, he got on the train and was on his way to see Sarah when he notched a shadow on the train and no one was there.
