The guards went into Cyrus room to carry him to bury him but Alex stopped them by standing in her front.
“I will take care of him.”, He said but they didn’t want to listen.
“The boss asked us to take care of him, we don’t want to get into trouble with the boss.”, They said and walked pass Alex.
Alex was about to pick up a fight but as soon as they touched Cyrus, a great force sent them back making them break their bone as they hit the wall so hard.
“Cyrus is alive”, Alex said happily.
“Why can’t we touch him, isn’t he dead?”, One asked.
“I think we have to tell the boss about this.”, Another said and Alex was fast to tell them.
“Are you crazy? If you tell the boss that you failed to do wh@tëver he asked you to do, you are definitely going to die, he is definitely going to kill you and your family.”, Alex said.
“You are just trying to confuse us.”, One said.
“You think so? Magnus threatened to kill my family and lover all because I didn’t do what he asked me to do, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself.”, Alex said and he said that they were giving what he said another thought.
“So what do you want us to do?”
“Just tell the boss that you gave buried him, just leave his body to me, I know how to dispose it.”, He said and they nodded and left and Alex sighed in relief.
He looked at Cyrus and tears gathered in his eyes, Cyrus looked so pale and cold, he wasn’t even moving.
Alex walked towards him slowly and stretched his hand to touch him.
He touched him and nothing happened to him, nothing pushed him.
“I’m so sorry lord Cyrus, you treated me like a brother but what did I do? I only thought of myself but believe me, I had no idea that Magnus was planning to touch the students.”
“I know that it’s too late to ask for forgiveness because you will never even want to set your eyes on me but I promise and swear that I will do anything to protect them and protect your body. I love you so much.”, He said and a tear dropped from Cyrus’ eyes.
“You are not dead, please just hold on for us and return back, I won’t allow Magnus to touch and harm your body.”, He said and carried Cyrus on his back.
He also carried his sword and he left to academy to his family house.
He didn’t know where else to keep Cyrus that he would be save except to his family.
He had warned his family that they shouldn’t let anyone know that he was there and they should take care if his body.

Everyone was locked into cells and Harley was taken to Magnus’ room.
“Take off your clothes.”, He ordered but Harley only spat on his face and it angered him.
“How dare you!”, He said and slapped her making her lose her balance.
“Do you think I am joking with you?”, He said as his hand went to the zip of his trouser.
Harley hit him on his ball and he groaned in pain but Magnus was fast to pull her back before she could escape.
He hit her head on the wall making her bleed.
He tore her clothes angrily and Harley tried to remove his hand hit she already lost her strength and he took off his trouser.
Harley just burst into tears, scared. She already decided that if Magnus have his way with her, she would commit suicide and join Cyrus.
He threw her on his bed aggressively and just as he was about to rip off her trouser, the necklace that Cyrus went white and it made Magnus to fly in air till he finally hit his head on the wall.
Alex quickly rushed into the room, when he returned he was informed that Magnus took Harley to his room.
“Harley are you okay? Did he touch you?”, He asked and she shook her head and quickly hugged him.
“I’m sorry, this is my fault.”, He said as he hugged her tightly.
“You have to leave this place now, this is your chance.”, He said as he took off his shirt for her to wear since hers was rigged off.
He lifted her up and they quickly left the room, leaving Magnus who was trying to recover on the floor.
“Alex what of the rest? I can’t leave them, what will happen to you?”, She asked.
“Nothing will happen to them.”, He said as Harley held unto him.
“What of you? Magnus knows you are betraying him now.”, She said.
“Just worry about yourself.”, He said as they continued running.
“What are you doing alex?”, Magnus men said as they walked towards them.
“Hand over the girl or consider yourself died.”, They threatened and he covered Harley.
“Then I would rather die, you have to kill me before you can take her from me.”, He said and they moved towards them.
Alex brought out his sword to fight and ember appeared in their front.
“I still h@të you Alex and I h@të you more Harley but Magnus betrayed me and I will betray him too.”, Ember said and turned back to Magnus men ready to fight.
“You can go, I will take care of them.”, She said.
“Thank you.”, Alex said as he dragged Harley away.
When they finally got to the gate, more men surrounded them but Alex wasn’t ready to let of Harley …. He wasn’t ready to release her… Never.
He killed some and Harley managed to fight some off too.
“You should leave now, I will take care if the other people.”, He said and Harley nodded.
Just as Harley was about to leave the gate, Alex was hit and he fell to the ground.
“Alex.”, Harley shouted as he ran towards him.
Alex looked at her frustrated, why is she coming back?
“Just go.”, He said but she didn’t listen, she just ran towards him and immediately men grabbed the both of them.
“You betrayal!”, Magnus said as he hit Alex on his tummy making him spit out blood.
“Cyrus isn’t dead! Only Cyrus wears that thing and if Harley can wear that and it still has effect then Cyrus isn’t dead, if he is really dead, the bond they have would have been broken and the necklace won’t have any effect on me.”, He said as he turned to the guards that he asked to bury Cyrus.
“Boss we are sorry for lying, Alex told us that he was going to take care of him, do we left him.”, They said on their knees and Magnus looked at alex angrily.
“Cyrus is alive?”, Harley thought and she finally became hopeful.
“Where is Cyrus?”, He asked.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”, He denied.
“I see you won’t talk, bring him to the torture room and lock the girl back into the dark cell.”, He instructed.
