Prologue
She crouched down to check on the prone body of her lover. Her unbound, coppery, waist length hair fell around her like a silky curtain. Tears began to pool in her hazel eyes when she couldn't feel a pulse on his neck. She turned around to face the smirking man and said, "You killed him. You killed Roland. You murderer!"
Roland's baby blue eyes stared back at her lifelessly. She would never see those beautiful eyes sparkle with mischief and love. His body felt ice cold and his skin were blue. Blood caked his scalp and his body was battered from the duel. She closed his eyes for him and kissed his forehead one last time before standing up and facing Roland's murderer.
"You're evil Seth Kane," she said.
"He was in the way. I told you that no one can come between me and what I want," he sneered. "Now you're all mine Marianne Le Fay," he continued, smiling evilly at her the young woman. His jet-black hair dancing around his face as the wind picked up speed and his jet black eyes looked at her hungrily.
Marianne furiously wiped away her tears and grasped her wand tightly in her right hand and scowled at him. "Never Seth, never. You sacrificed your family in a blood magick ceremony to obtain more power. I'll never be with you!" she shouted at him, raising her wand and pointing it at his chest.
Seth barked with laughter and said, "Your puny stick won't do you any good."
"We'll see about that," Marianne answered. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" a green light shot out of the wand towards Seth. Marianne gasped as the spell was deflected by a lazy wave of his hand. When she snapped his fingers, her wand flew to his hand and he turned it to ash.
"Come my sweet. Come to me," Seth said, smiling widely, crooking his finger towards her. With a flick of his wrist, a horrified Marianne found herself flying into his arms. He wrapped his left arm around her waist tightly to prevent her form escaping. "Now I have you Marianne," he said softly, trailing right his index finger along the side of her face.
"That's what you think, she whispered. Unsheathing the ceremonial dagger that was strapped to her thigh, she gripped it tightly and slashed his jaw line. Seth screamed in pain and released Marianne from his arms. Marianne stumbled back but regained her balance. She stood up and face Seth.
"I'll never be with you Seth! NEVER!" she screamed and plunged her dagger into her heart.
"NO!!" he screamed, running to her crumpled body. He tried to pull the dagger out of her chest but the pommel felt like it burned his hands. "You WILL be mine Marianne! Even if it takes forever!" he swore. Hearing the shouts of the villagers coming nearer, Seth spared one last look at the woman he desired and ran.
