PREFACE
My attacker paused to drink in my suffering. It grinned flashing its perfect white teeth. I wondered then how was it that something so beautiful could be this dangerous. How could something I that I love- My thoughts were cut by the predators advance. I was weakened beyond comparison due to that damned power. I lay limp as it tore my marble arm off and hurled it across the room.
Dazed I followed its course with my eyes, watching it land at his feet. In that instant I allowed a brief glance to his face. Concern and disappointment stood out on his handsome visage. Realization then hit me. I couldn't let him down! There was no way in Hell that I could lose! Even if it cost me my own immortal life I would win! My savior, my lover, my Master will be protected no matter what!
I stood causing the predator to abruptly leap back. Barely a second passed before it sneered again.
"And I thought you were down for good this time." It laughed, words rolling off its tongue like velvet.
I said nothing merely glared at the odd thing. I towered her by at least 10 inches. She was so young yet almost my age. Curly brown hair framed her angel face. And those eyes once so warm and full of life were a cold flat black. I knew this would not be easy. I had hoped that maybe just maybe I could find a way to save her. That was no longer an option.
"I thought this was supposed to be a fair fight?" I mused lightly stepping closer to her. "No powers remember? Ah. But maybe you feel as though you can't take me without extra help?"
This did it for her. Lips pulled back, teeth bared she crouched into a position ready to spring at any moment. Before she could move I raced forward. Our hard bodies collided with a thunderous noise. I wrapped my arms around her slim body the without hesitation propelled us through the window.
