Chapter 1
So here I was. Off to kill the man i was so deeply in love with. It hurt me deeply to know that he had become something he despised so greatly. She owed her one true love to put him out of his misery. But could I do it? I don't know for sure. I guess when the time comes we will all know.
Of course I feel horrid for leaving Lissa there all by herself...well not by herself. She had Christian to protect her. And I
could still go into her body. I will always know when she is safe but I could still feel the hurt inside her about the night
I had left. She feels betrayed and I don't really blame her. I chose someone else above her,but I will come back as
soon as I fufill what I left the Academy to do. I was going to kill Dimitrie. The man my heart belonged to. The man whose
half fit perfectly with mine. I would never be whole without him, but I could make myself a semi-happy life. I could settle down with Adrain. He seemed like a nice enough guy when he wasn't drinking. But could I really spend my life with someone who was always drunk. I couldn't possibly trust him. I knew of how he treats women. As soon as they sleep with him he is done with them. And I was certainly not going to be a blood whore to him.
So here I am. Not knowing where exactly I was going. The memory of the last image of Demitri in the claws of the stupid sturgio that took him from me. I would make that undead peice of shit pay. He took half my soul and I could never get over that. Then I had that gut wrenching feeling. As If a stirgo was near. I turned to watch my back. It was night and I knew I should've found somewhere to stay before the sun-set, but my stupid ass didn't listen to myself AGAIN!
Then I herd footsteps behind me. I wasn't sure if it was human or stirgio, but it could be one of the stirgio's human henchmen. Since they were so close these days. You know with the breaking the wards and all at the academy and kidnapping me, mason, christian, Eddie and Mia. Just the thought of mason brought on the hurt that I felt when he died then that image of the smile he gave me before he moved on to a better place moves into my mind and my heart flutters. Ok now the foot steps were closer. I was sure it was coming for me since there was no one in sight. Plus I was in the middle of nowhere. So naturally I had my hand on my steak and was ready to run.
I turned around to see a man...better yet a stirgio standing right behind me. He just stood there. This was confusing cause well stirgio either tried to fight then suck the life from you, but this one just stood there with what looked like a tear in his red eye. This was strange. He was very skinny deffinatly used to be a morio. He had black shaggy hair, and was very pale which was normal for his kind, but he obviously wasn't normal. I pulled my steak out to warn him that either he gets away or I kill him.
"If you're going to kill me then do it!" He shouted in what seemed like frustration.
"What is the matter with you?! Do you want to die?!"
"Well I didn't become like this by choice and I hate it! I don't really care if I live or die. This other person that lives with my colony feels the same way. With the looks of him he could take out an entire colony of us himself. He wont stop talking about his lost love though. He seems kind of weak when he talks about her." He said like he was carrying on a casual conversation. Which this was not one. This information made her consider that the man he is talking about might be Demitri, but there could be a million stirgio that are big and lost love.
"Well. Would you consider taking me to your colony. Can you keep me safe when I enter?" Of course he could claim me and no other stirgio could touch me. I will walk in there looking hopless and act like its my doom just long enough to see if this stirgio was the particular one I was looking for. This might just work.
"Yeah. But its not going to be easy to get you out. You might not live. And I might not either." But when he said this he didn't seem to care.
"Ok. Take me there. But we can only travle at night. I can't be seen."
"Dah! I can't go out in the sunlight. I'll burn into a crisp. I would rether die a fast painless death. Not suffer." He said with a grinn. Ok. I hate stirgio, but I might be able to like at least two of them.
"So whats your name?" I asked. I might like him, but in no way did I really trust him.
"Edward. My name is Edward McCain. You know. You are really pretty. I mean most girls look like shit, cause my vision is so good. But you look radiant." He said with a bigger grinn. I scowled.
"Keep your mind on keeping me safe, not hooking up with me. Ok? I promised some people that I would come back. And I really want to keep my promise. And the sun is getting ready to come up so we need to get some place we can hide you and myself. I got some cash. So we can get a room."
"Oh. So soon. I just met you less than five minutes ago." He cracked I scowled again and we began to walk.
