My Duke Won't Leave Me

A girl stood in front of a man choking his blood as he looked at a young girl standing with her face covered with blood. Her face was blank as she looked at the spell circle in front of her, she bent down at the man who was looking at her in horror, he cannot believe that a girl which such a bright doe eye could kill a person in such cold blood. “Hope you have a good life where ever you will be going”; She said in a cold tone as she sliced his throat slowly making him feel how the knife teared his skin and all the blood, he was choking on started spilling out of his throat. The man grabbed his throat as if he wanted to stop the blood, slowly and slowly he bleeds out as life left his eyes. The girl sighed remembering how things were good just this morning, if she knew this was going to happen, she would have not let him take the mission Flashback…. A girl yawned as she got off her car and walked in a coffee shop. Her brown hair tied in high pony tail swayed with the wind. She chewed her pink lips as she searched the coffee shop for the person who called her to meet him. Her doe like brown eyes landed on the golden hair. The man looked up his green eyes landed on her as he raised his hand to call her over. Her boots clicked as she walked over to the man, every gaze followed her. She was beautiful and had a petite figure but that was not the reason the eyes followed her. Her beauty was generic nothing special but what was special about her was her reputation which preceded her. She was the most powerful person in the world and everyone knew her. She was well respected in the society and was given every privilege one can imagine. “It has been a while, Seven”; She said taking the seat in front of the man. The man was very handsome and well known as well. People gasped realising that there were two members of THE COUNCIL in front of the them. THE SEVEN and THE ZERO; the only person who is more powerful than the ONE. “Yes, it has been Master”; Seven spoke up as the girl smiled while gesturing to the counter to bring two cups of coffee. The girl raised her one eyebrow in question of his tone, it sounded grave and emotional. They were not able to meet because Seven was on a mission for two months, many things happened during those two months. “I heard about your mother, I am sorry”; Seven gave his condolence making the girl nod before she could say anything the waitress came up with their coffees; behind her were two girls and four men looking at them. The girl drank her coffee and smiled at them making them blush while waitress took her leave. “May we help you with something?”; Seven asked in a gentle tone to those six people as one of the girls came forward with all the courage she could contain and asked. “May we have both of yours autograph”; she asked shyly. The girl smiled and nodded towards them making all of them squeak in excitement. “THANK YOU, MISS RUHI!”; the girl shouted in excitement making Ruhi chuckle at her. She and Seven gave them the autograph they desired making them leave. “Why did you leave the organisation, Master?”; Seven asked the question he wanted to ask Ruhi. She took a big sip of her coffee and smiled at her; she knew this would be the reason he asked her to come here today. Most of the time he would come to her house but he wanted to have this meeting in a public place so, he could control his emotions. “I wanted an early retirement, Seven”; She answered not explaining much to Seven’s disappointment. “This is not an early retirement; you just turned twenty master. You are leaving. What if we need you? What if I cannot handle the threat?”; He said in a low tone. She is the most powerful person in the organisation, she is his master. He feels lost without her, she was always there for him but now she will go away. “I am just a call away”; replying she stood up, her coffee was over and she does not want Seven to start blackmailing her. She walked out of the coffee house not wanting to talk any further. “MASTER!”; She was about to get in the car as Seven called her out loudly. She stopped and looked at him, he walked towards her and hugged her. He can understand her reasons, she is broken inside after her mother passed away. Even if she does not tell her, he knows; he can clearly see pass through her. “Why are you getting emotional? You can always come and visit.”; She said patting his back as if assuring him that she is not going anywhere far. He is her sole student; he will always have a special place in her heart that no one can take away. Seven pulled away smiling and nodded, he has to visit Ruhi’s mother’s grave soon enough but he has another mission lined up for him. “I have another mission tomorrow; I will come home after that.”; He said making Ruhi smile at him and nod. “I will be waiting”; She said in a gentle tone getting in the car. She waved goodbye to him and drove away. Seven looked at her going as he sighed, he cannot believe he has another mission tomorrow even though he just came back from a mission. THIS IS LABOUR ABUSE!! …………………………………………………..   Ruhi looked at the sky line from the windows of her penthouse with a wine glass in her hand. She sipped her wine and sighed; she is so young yet she has nothing left to do. She can surely work as a normal person but she is very famous and it won’t work at all. She does not need to work at all, she has so much money that it can feed her four generations without any of them working at all. “Miss Ruhi, I have plated your dinner”; Her housekeeper said as she nodded without looking behind. Taking the signals her housekeeper took her leave. Ruhi kept looking at the lighted up buildings, bridges and the traffic. It showed her how life moves on yet for her it seems like everything is stuck and she cannot move on. She was on a mission when she got call from her mother has been taken to the hospital, she could come to her only at her last minutes. Her mother’s last words were ‘I love you baby’; Ruhi sighed gulping down the whole glass of wine in one go before going back to eat her dinner. She filled her glass again till the brim as she started eating her food. The food was great yet she could not taste anything, she was upset and emotionally disturbed after losing her mother; her only family. She took another bite of her food before gulping whole glass of wine again, she poured the wine again. Taking another bite, she was about to gulp the glass down again when her phone rang out loudly. She picked her phone and answered it seeing it was from the organisation. She does not know why would they call, but she knows she needs to have some distraction from her thoughts. Before she could say anything the person behind the phone spoke up. “Miss Ruhi, Seven has gone missing”; Ruhi gripped her glass hard but maintained her calm. “What do you mean?”; She asked calmly as the person behind the phone. “Seven has been asked to go to a mission tomorrow, but he said he would go today because he wanted to get it over with. After he went his power presence has been missing and he is nowhere to be found”; the person said, clearly panicked. No one has been able to defeat someone from the COUNCIL. “Send me the details of the mission”; Ruhi said as she cut the call. She looked at the photo sent and looked at the details. Age- 56 years Extra-terrestrial being- yes Type- mage Illegally here, uses children to perform rituals. He cut young children and let them slowly bleed out as he collects the blood to perform the ritual. Current location (17:08) – 7 street of Bew Street.  She replied with the message that she will be taking the mission. She wore her jeans and shirt with her phone and wallet. Tying her hair in a tight pony tail and washing her face she walked out of her house locking it before speeding off to the location. As she ran, time stopped; her speed was so fast that even time is not able to keep up with it. Within seconds she was at her location. She stopped and looked at the old man who was hurrying and packing his thing. “Going somewhere”; She asked as she walked inside the house making the man look at her in surprise. She looked around as she looked at a big green inter-dimensional spell. There was blood everywhere as she looked at Seven’s piece of torn up shirt. Seems like Seven has gone to a different dimension, she took out her phone and started messaging. The man thought it was his chance to escape, he tired to run but he could not move his leg. He was frozen, he looked at Ruhi in horror. It was her pressure that made him unable to move. Sending the message, she called him to her with a finger as he was dragged towards her by some unknown force. “Seven is in there”; she asked pointing at the spell as the man gulped and nodded. She nodded as she looked at the knife tainted with dried blood. Picking it she examined it making the man gulp; she smiled pointing the knife at him. “Isn’t this the knife you took lives with”; The man gulped but did not say anything. Flashback over… She threw the knife on the ground which now had the man who used it for killing children. Taking no time, she stepped at the centre of the circle, as it lighted up. The light was so bright that it lighted up the whole street, before slowly dimming down. As the light went out the spell and Ruhi was gone. She was gone to the same dimension where Seven was sent to.
