Thanks for all those that reviewed. I'm back!





She couldn't breath. Everything was becoming hard to see from her lack of air. But she did notice that Marcus had found her.

Her hope soon sunk as she remembered that he wouldn't be able to save her from her watery grave without being severely injured himself.

She wasn't sure if he would make such a sacrifice.

Marcus held his breath, even though he didn't need it, as he watched Demona struggle against bonds that chained her to the floor of the tank as she tried to reach air.

Shaking his head, he bolted to the tank and placed his hands on the cool glass.

"Demona?! Demona can you hear me!?"

He banged his fists against the thick glass but didn't even get a crack in return.

He let out a pained cry as she sunk to the bottom limply.

"Demona! Please answer me! You must get up! Try! Please!"

The words entered her mind slowly, but she couldn't get the meaning to surface.

A constant banging on the walls shifted her body on the floor of the tank.

'Why can't they leave me in peace?'

"Demona! Don't die on me! Not now!"

'That voice..it's so familiar.'

Another voice, not as deep as the other one, spoke up.

"You actually think you get through to her? Ha! She is most likely already dead!"

A growl radiated throughout his body as he swung around to face Kain.

"Let her go."

He was so angry that he was calm..and deadly to anything that dared to come within his path.and very much the demon people said him to be.

Kain sneered," And you think you can make me?"

Marcus advanced slowly, the muscles rippling under his skin as he tightened his fists and legs from the strain of not attacking then and there.

Kain watched, amused.

"I think I got something of importance to you finally. And I destroyed it so easily."

That was the final straw for Marcus.

He charged at Kain, slamming himself and him in the near stone wall.

With a growl Kain threw Marcus back a foot or two but not even enough to stun the enraged vampire before him.

The fight continued as blood splattered the walls and floor.

Marcus grabbed Kain by his hair and swung him into the tank that contained Demona.

And with a sickening crunch and crash the glass shattered into a million glittering pieces.

Air.

Sweet and glorious air.

She sucked in gulps of it as she slowly opened her eyes.

What she saw made her gasp.

Blood covered the wall and floors as if it had been painted with it. Diamonds floated in the red paint across the floor.

'Glass?'

She leaned up and looked at the glass case which was now in pieces.

"Demona? Demona!"

And suddenly she was in strong arms against a solid chest.

"Marcus?"

She looked up weakly into the eyes of Marcus, only to notice red tears sliding down his pale cheeks.
