Prologue
Red.
All I could see was red.
From the blood that was splattered everywhere, soaking into the dirty sand and stone walls that enclosed him. I just couldn't look away. The collar wrapped tightly around my throat felt so much tighter than before. Even more hotter than before and I quickly realized that I was panting harshly, near hyperventilation.
I caught movement from the corner of my eyes. Just a flash of sandy gold and alabaster white. And then red as he turned his gaze to me.
"I want you to watch. Don't you dare turn away from him as he's ripped apart."
Before I could even think of a response, he turned away from me, his hard stare now resting back to the bloody sands, his hands tightening around the cold metal chain attached to my collar. And I couldn't help but obey him.
As I stared down into the arena for a brief moment, our eyes met. His were burning with fire and fight. I couldn't even begin to tell what mine held. And even as we gazed at each other unblinkingly, with the blood dripping down from his body and his claws, his eyes spoke to me as clearly as if he shouted them from his very lips.
I love you.
And all I saw was red.
So...I'm back! I have been gone for so so so so so so so so so so long and I am so so so so so so so so so sorry! But I am back with a story that will hopefully get me out of this writing funk I've been in for like, 2 years!
Anyways, I just want to let everyone know that this work is heavily inspired by Spartacus. And if you haven't seen that show, please go and watch it! It as AMAZING! NAGRON FOR LIFE!
Anyways, please enjoy and review!
