Chapter 12 - *Finding Answers Part 3:

Beast of course wasn't aware that Malice surviving and being the hybrid pup that Slayer was trying to avoid telling Vishious and had in fact twisted and left out a few things when he had told Vishious the story of what led up to his Generals death; all those things were of course included in what the Commander was telling Vishious. And Slayer could only sit there and become pissed off at how badly things had seriously backfired in his face, as he heard Beast finishing up and telling Vishious of everything.

"So after I had killed the Night Creature with a single, lethal blow; it was only then that I came to realize what the demon was and put together everything about it and the young pregnant female Kamaira. I did what any demon leader and Commander or General, would have done under those circumstances and wouldn't expect it any other way. For us demons we can't afford to not attack and kill first, showing hesitance is a deadly and stupid mistake to make." Beast snarled as he explained to Vishious his reasons behind killing his Night Creature 18 years ago now.

Vishious understood what Beast was saying and agreed to his thinking and how he handled the situation. He appreciated Beast for not trying to cover up the truth and put the blame on the dead General. Which most would have done in this situation, for it's always easier to blame the one that can't say anything against your story and nobody wanted Vishious as their enemy and would try to lie their way out of possibly being killed by the Demon Lord.

Beast finally ended up continuing to say, "So after the mother Kamaira started to go into labor and she.." Beast was suddenly cut off mid sentence by Slayer who said, "Why don't we take a short break?" Even though Slayer knew that it was pointless to try hiding anything at this point, he was still hoping that maybe Beast would agree to taking a short break. But Beast was on top of it by saying, "I don't mind finishing what I have to say and I'm pretty much done with everything that happened that day anyway that concerns Lord Vishious's General. Unless of course you're needing a break, Lord Vishious? Beast asked.

This made vicious smile his mischievous smile.

This made Vishious smile his mischievous smile, for he couldn't help but find Slayer's dilemma that he had caused for himself amusing and enjoyed how it was unraveling perfectly in his favor. So he answered, "Please, continue on then. So we can go ahead and just get this over with, instead of dragging it out any longer than is needed." Vishious said sweetly. Flashing his smile towards Slayer and when he could see that Slayer glared at him, he winked at him to let him know that he was touring with him by doing this.

Slayer wished he could've punched Vishious in his smug looking face at that very moment, but knew it was his own doing and he had put himself in this predicament.

"So the only thing left to say is that the mother died while giving birth to her pup. And when I saw that her pup was still alive, I knew that I would need to go and inform Slayer of what had transpired that morning and take the newborn hybrid pup for him to decide what to do with it. And at first I had honestly thought of just killing it and not allowing what I viewed as an abomination to live because I was repulsed by it's making. He said not holding back how he had truly thought when he discovered what the pup was. To think that a Kamaira and a Night Creature had actually mated and the baby had actually lived while both his parents were now dead, I didn't see any reason for letting such a thing live. But I'm grateful that Slayer did as he chose and decided to let the pup live and as you did meet malice last night, you could see what an exceptional and very unique hybrid Kamaira he truly is. He's a very strong and powerful warrior who we have yet to see what he is fully capable of." Beast finished telling Vishious everything that he knew Vishious wanted to know about.

The room was instantly filled with a dark laughter that came from Vishious. Alarming the other two that were in the room with him. Vishious' laughter sounded like it belonged to a crazed person and it took a few minutes for his laughing to finally stop.

"Thank you so much for your help and giving me the whole story that took place that day Beast." Vishious said politely. He started to stand when Slayer cut in to ask Vishious before he would exit the room," I'm sure you must have questions for me, concerning Malice and his hybrid makeup?"

"I don't at the moment but I'll definitely let you know when I do". Vishious said coldly. Just then black shadowy smoke started to grow all around Vishious until his whole body was consumed by it and then just as quickly as it appeared the shadowy smoke started to dissipate, leaving just Slayer and Beast in Slayer study.

"Did you honestly think that I wouldn't sense you following me?" Malice said in a deadly, threatening voice, while he sat on top of the cloaked figure that he had pin beneath him. He was looking down at the struggling person before Grabbing the hood and pulling it back.

Malice then said in a mocking tone,"Let's see what hideous thing we have that's hiding it's face, shall we.!" After struggling with the person thrashing their head around trying to stop him from removing its hood, he finally pulled it back to reveal not a hideous creature at all, like he had been expecting. Malice would have never expected to see what he was now looking down at and laying his eyes upon.

Instead he was looking down at a breath-taking, beautiful woman. Who had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, they were dark purple with emerald green that went around the outer circle of her Iris in her eye, with dark blue hair that held light blue-green highlights in it.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the woman saying, "Are you going to get off me or is throwing down and fighting with a woman, something that you guys do in this kingdom?" The woman who was still pinned under Malice hissed in anger.

Malice then said after snapping out of his momentary trance, "I'll get off you but don't try to run." Malice warned. Malice then moved to get off her and sat on the ground right next to the woman. She sat up very slowly and started brushing herself off and pulling the leaves and twigs that had gotten caught in her hair out.

Malice sat and watched her while she did this, not knowing why but he just couldn't help but stare at her. He had never seen someone that was so beautiful before and absolutely and breath- taking in his life.

"Can I ask you your name?" Malice asked, forgetting to be angry and wanting answers as to why she had been following him.

The woman stopped messing with the leaves and twigs that were still in her hair and studied the white Kamaira who wore nothing but a black leather loincloth that went to the middle of his thighs. She couldn't help but notice how he looked different compared to the Kamaira's she had ever come across before.

This Kamaira was actually handsome with beautiful white fur that she had felt wasn't coarse but silky soft when she had been wrestling with him and his eyes were a stunning purple as well. She had never come across anyone else who had purple eyes before, she thought she was the only one.

She shook her head cursing herself for staring like she was. But couldn't help but be curious of what his name was as well. So she answered,"What's Your name first? I'm not going to answer you when I don't even know.your name?" She said coldly. While not looking at the man who was sitting next to her. Acting as if he had done her wrong when in fact it was the other way around.

"My name is Malice." Malice answered without any argument or hesitation and this made the woman to look at Malice quickly, shocked that he shared his name so easily.

"Now may I please know your name?" Malice asked her in a sweet, soft tone.

"Sinyster" She answered him. There was a few moments that they just sat there and stared at each other, neither one saying a word. Malice didn't understand this whirlwind of emotions that he was suddenly feeling.

All he knew is that he wanted to be in the company of this gorgeous woman who he had just met a little longer and who was looking at him with those beautiful mesmerizing eyes.

"You have a beautiful name if you don't mind me saying so?" Malice complimented. He didn't know why but that name sounded so familiar for some reason. "Would you like to walk together back to the Palace?"

As soon as Malice asked this she became alarmed and hurried to stand up. Malice quickly stood up with her and grabbed her arm. "What are you doing?" Sinyster asked him, trying to push herself away from him.

"I asked you to not try and run." Malice reminded.

"Please let me go and please don't tell anyone you caught me or mention my name!?" Sinyster pleaded with Malice, panic and fear obvious on her face.

Malice didn't know why but seeing Sinyster scared and panicky like this made him mad and he didn't like the thought of her being afraid of someone. "I won't let anything happen to you. I'll protect you. Who are you afraid of?" Malice asked. He didn't want her to leave and wanted to try and talk her into staying longer.

For how hard she felt that Malice's muscles were, Sinyster knew that the only way of her getting out of his hold was if he decided to let go of her, but she still tried anyway.

Sinyster stopped struggling to get out of his iron hold that he had on her arm and just stood there and just stared at him for a moment.

The realization of what he had just said to her sinking in, Sinyster blinked. 'is he really worried about me? That would be the first. Well the first in many decades now.'

"How can you say to me that you'd protect me? When you just barely met me!? I don't need your protection, I just need you to keep your mouth shut and not mention my name!?" Sinyster said to Malice, not wanting him to think of her as a weak woman who needed protected. Malice saying he'd protect her, even though said with good intentions, started to make Sinyster mad.

Malice didn't know why Sinyster suddenly became defensive, he didn't think he said anything that would be found to be offensive to her. "Yes, we just met but still I'd protect you if you needed me to?" Malice answered honestly. "And I won't mention anything concerning you, but since you are demanding this of me than it should only be fair that I to am able to request something from you?" Malice said to Sinyster, who now looked at him with wariness, not knowing what he'd want from her.

"Ok, it seems like I don't really have a choice in this situation." Sinyster answered annoyed at the situation that she had gotten herself into.

Malice's lips lifted into a smile and Sinyster's eyes moved nervously over his handsome face, while trying to figure out what he was up to?

"I only ask in return for my silence that you come and meet me tomorrow? At the same time, will that work for you?" Malice asked his questions in a soft voice.

"Where?" Her voice came out a bit breathy.

"Since you don't know the lands... Here," He answered.

"Alright." Sinyster agreed a bit reluctantly.

Malice hummed in approval and let go of her arm. He than took a couple steps in front of her like he was going to start to resume walking towards the Palace, before stopping, turning to look back at Sinyster, but to his utter surprise she had already disappeared.

He exhaled out of a little frustration towards himself, he knew he acted in a way that was foolish and unacceptable on his part.

He let someone go who could very well be a threat towards not only him but also towards Slayer, she did come here with Vishious after all and for some reason she was following him.

He would make sure that when he met up with her tomorrow that he would get some answers out of her, he had to make sure that he didn't let his guard down because of a pretty face.

For he knew that no matter what he'd never allow anyone to distract him and harm Slayer in any kind of way.

His eyes narrowed and he clenched his jaw, while his hands that he was holding down on his sides balled into fists.

He then turned and preceded to head towards the Palace.
