Kato could not return to the Freehold Estate without the Divine Tome, he was worried that if he did then this debacle would land squarely on his shoulders. The elders were already looking for someone to blame, and knowing clan politics the way he did, he knew that if he returned empty-handed that they would find a way to make him a scapegoat.
He had grabbed this mission to gain quick glory, thinking just how easy it would be to catch a thirteen-year-old teen, and if the gods were on his side he would finally outshine his brother. He knew from Edvard that there was no enemy clan involved, and he thought that Jayde had stolen the Tome for revenge, and while he would be the hero that caught the little thief and returned the Divine Tome to the clan, Za'thul would bear the shame of having a daughter you bought calamity to the clan.
The elders were already unhappy with Za'thul because of having a null for a child, and they still hadn't gotten over the embarrassment of her Reading Day. Many of the elders were already maneuvering in the dark to remove him from power.
And while Kato wasn't as talented as his brother, he did have the flair of sucking up to the elders and was quite popular with them. He was quite sure that if they removed Za'thul from power he would most likely succeed in becoming the next clan leader.
The guards grabbed Jayde and dragged her to Kato.
"Search her" he ordered.
Rough hands tore a Jayde clothing, patting her all over. No matter how much she struggled to avoid those horrible hands, she was too weak to get away. Utterly humiliated all Jayde could do was bear with this awful experience.
"Nothing Master," one of the elite guards told Kato.
Kato's eyes widen in surprise, the book must be here.
"Search the surrounding area" he ordered the guards.
Pointing to one of his elite guards he ordered "Guard her, if she escapes I will have yours and your families heads"
While the guards searched the surrounding area, Kato kept on questioning Jayde where the Tome was, but each time she gave the same answer that she didn't know where it was.
Finally losing his temper, Kato grabbed Jayde by the throat
"Last time you pathetic little bitch, where is the f*cking tome?" he roared, his spittle hitting her face.
"E..e-dvard—he must have taken it" Jayde choked out.
Clenching his fist, pure wrath filled Kato body, she dared, she actually dared to frame his son. If the guards reported this back to the elders, it could raise their suspicions. The repercussions of this would exterminate his whole branch. Kato knew that Edvard would never hold up under interrogation and if the elders and Za'thul found out that everything happened due to Edvard and Saphira instigations, the backlash would be unimaginable.
Without a thought Kato backhanded Jayde across the face, forgetting at that moment how weak she was. That one fist shattered Jayde cheek and jaw, the pain was beyond comprehension. Tears streamed from Jayde's eyes, dark spots danced in front of her eyes and she barely managed to stay conscious.
Feeling the weight of the guards' stares, Kato was filled with dread he had to find that damn tome, no matter what.
"Master, she might have already handed the Tome over" Oki his second in command said softly.
"Mm" agreed Kato.
Then grabbing his short dagger, Kato had the guards tie Jayde to a nearby tree, ordered most of them to backtrack their way to the Freehold Estate. They were to search for any tracks that might indicate that Jayde had hidden the tome away or handed it off to someone.
Once the guards left, Kato stalked up to Jayde tied to the tree, she was barely conscious. The pain from her shattered cheek and jaw was overwhelming.
"Ah little girl, you should have told me where you hid the Divine Tome, you are now in for a world of pain," Kata said menacingly.
Jayde tried to speak, but with her jaw shattered all she could do was make small grunting sounds.
Jayde's nightmare had just begun. Her second uncle showed no mercy as he started to flay her alive. With his sharp dagger, he slowly began to peel the skin away from one of her legs. After Jayde fainted the first time, her second uncle fed her a pill that would ensure that she could faint again. With her shattered jaw she couldn't even scream, and the blood-producing pills that her uncle kept on stuffing into her mouth made sure that she couldn't die from blood loss.
After removing all the skin from both her legs and arms, her second uncle then proceeded to break all her bones. By this time Jayde was nearly mad from the pain. She prayed and begged the gods for death, but her pleas went unanswered. Jayde could feel her sanity slipping away.
Just then some of the guards returned, they were very excited. They explained to Kato that they had found tracks a while back, the tracks were about four hours old, six demon scaled horses according to the tracks found. Demon scale horses were very rare in the Lower Realm, they were the fastest breed of spirit beast one could have.
Shocked that Jayde had handed over the Divine Tome to some mysterious group, Kato rushed to his Fire-Tailed Stallion, the group they were chasing had a four hour lead on them, he had to catch up to them, no matter what.
In his haste to retrieve the Divine Tome, Kato forgot all about the broken girl lying in a large pool on the ground, pieces of her flesh discarded around her.
As Kato and his group galloped out of the clearing, Jayde eyes started to blur, she could feel death finally approaching. As the sound of horse hooves faded Jayde finally closed her eyes and death embraced her.
With a grateful smile on her small face, she left her miserable life behind.
Free she was finally free!
