A/N - Thank you to anyone who reviewed my previous chapters. Reviews are very helpful so please keep them coming, and if a reviewer has written an SP story then I will check that out.
Billy-Ray Sanguine and Vita Agony sat in 'The Dragon's Head', a pub on the outskirts of Dublin. The atmosphere was as lively as a damp cloth, but Billy-Ray was excited nonetheless.
He had come here for business. Since he had heard about Tanith's engagement, he had been furious. In the days when they had been together, when Tanith was possessed, he had grown used to her company.
At first he couldn't believe his luck, but after a while he found himself wanting to get to know the real Tanith. She was beautiful, there was no denying it. But somehow, he no longer cared simply about her aesthetics. He wanted the real Tanith, conscience and all.
As much as he hated to admit it, Ghastly's proposal had hurt him. It tore away at his insides. She doesn't want me, he thought she wants him. She will only ever see me as a villain. He did not know how to show her compassion, to win her over, even if she had given him a chance. So he had decided to deal with it, the only way he knew how. Revenge.
'Have you not gathered anyone else for the attack?' asked Vita 'Two on two combat is a big risk. They're both well-trained in Martial arts. They're fairly young, strong and agile. It would be a good idea to have numbers on our side.'
As annoying as Vita was, she would be useful, since her adept discipline was that she had a gist. Even more so, being the sadistic psychopath she was, she would be willing to help him for free. This was a very small scale operation, so Sanguine didn't have to put up with her for long. 'No.' he replied, sipping at his beer.
'They will be unarmed and unprepared. We wait 'til they separate then take them down one at a time.'
