Marcus ran as fast as his legs could up the marble steps on the mansion as the rolling black clouds thundered loudly over head. He burst open the door with a resounding boom. He momentarily held his head as the sound echoed in his sensitive ears.
Palic walked in from the kitchen and blinked in surprise at his master's hysteric appearance.
"My Lord?"
Marcus opened his eyes and quickly sought out the direction of the familiar voice.
"Palic? What happened? What has happened to Demona?!"
Palic blinked then glanced down to the floor.
"She is only human master. Her body can't fight the sickness it has been holding back any longer. She is in pain Sir. It's horrible. A messenger arrived just moments ago and.."
Marcus didn't let him finish as he quickly jumped to the second story and dashed down the hall to Demona's room. As he opened the door slowly he peered inside. Zoë was sitting next to the prone Demona as she whipped her head with a cloth as Demona's body twisted with the fever.
Marcus looked at Demona and slowly entered the room, now forgetting about Zoë he unsteadily made his way to her bedside.
"Master!" Zoë looked up at him in shock as she saw her master and her heart broke when she saw the pain and love he held for this woman. Zoë glanced back down at the girl. She only had alittle time left. She wouldn't live much longer, and she now thought that maybe her master had finally realized that.
Marcus's words were choked in his throat. "Please leave Zoë. You're dismissed."
Zoë slowly stood to her feet and wobbled slightly before placing her hand on her stomach. She glanced at Marcus one last time before she walked out the door and shut it with a click.
Marcus listened until he heard the door shut then he slowly sunk down onto the bed with Demona and stared down at her face. Her face was lifeless, pale and shallow skin with dull emotionless eyes stared back up at him.
"Demona please understand that I didn't mean for this to happen to you. I can't believe I was such a fool to leave you alone the way I did. I'm so sorry, but please..please don't die on me. They said love makes you weak, but I find it has made me stronger."
He looked down anxiously at her face.
"Please Demona! Say something, do something, anything!"
A sob caught in his throat as he pressed his face against her burning neck while he wrapped his arms carefully around her.
"It's all my fault."
A knock came from the door lightly. Marcus looked over his shoulder then back down at Demona before he gently removed himself from her.
"Yes? Come in."
Palic walked in nervously. "Master you didn't let me finish earlier! It's urgent news!"
Marcus sighed tiredly and glanced at Palic through narrow eyes.
"And whats that Palic?"
Palic gulped slightly and looked at the floor for a moment as if for guidance then back up at Marcus.
"A note from Sebastian came. He said the city was clear but he had a run in with Faustus."
Marcus snorted softly. "Faustus isn't a threat except maybe to himself."
Palic nodded slowly then looked at his master once again.
"Faustus had reported Demona to the Sarafan Lord , Master. He demands to see you at once."
Marcus's eyes turned a dark red. "Faustus!! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
He stormed past Palic and Palic followed him closing the door behind him.
Demona's eyes fluttered softly. "Marcus."
Thanks! Please review! *Begs *
