Chapter Goodbye
He stared after her and hated how fragile mortals were. He knew that he had to let her go; she needed to recover before they met for round two, he wanted her at her best before he tore her apart.

The truth the words held reached out and soothed his fear. After all, he thought with a wicked smile, he had her crew it was only a matter of time before she tried to get them back.
