For Him

Author's Note: Man I just had an awful time at the beach! I am wiped out. I had to battle two of my older, stronger, guy cousins in a bikini. Woo.
Mariela: Oh come on. What would be the fun in killing Velkan? Sheesh. You think to little of me, dahling.
Verona: I-Well-Um- now I don't know what to say, dangit. Whatever. Read and see.
Marisa-Drake: Don't have a heart attack. Please. Please. I hope you like it.

Chapter 6
The End?
Everything was suddenly in slow motion. The knife slowly spun out of his hands, and I pushed myself agonizingly slow from the tree. The knife gained on Velkan, who was staring at it. I could see where it was going to land. Right at the heart. Anna was sobbing in slow motion. My arm reached out, my hand stretching to its full length. I closed my eyes slowly.
A shocking pain echoed up my arm and into my torso, and I screamed. The slow motion was gone. Protruding from my hand was the knife, its smooth handle glimmering in the moonlight.
The pain was horrible. I screamed, staring at it, and tears spilled over my eyes and rushing down my cheeks. Then, as I screamed, I thought of who I had just saved. Velkan.
Velkan.
I stopped screaming and whipped around, looking him over to see if there were any blood stains. My pain was put on a back burner. It didn't matter anymore. What mattered was Velkan.
Velkan.
He was staring at me. His beautiful gray eyes slid down my arm to rest at the hand that was drenched in blood. His eyes came back up to mine. Shock was evident in his eyes. Oh how I loved him. My tears wet my lips and neck. I took a step towards him.
"Velkan," I whispered in agony, then sank to the floor. Velkan kept my gaze. "Velkan," I whispered again.

And she blocked the knife from entering Velkan Valerious's heart. It entered her own beautiful, fragile hand instead. She screamed, and her voice pierced my heart. She stopped screaming and turned to look at Velkan. She sank to the floor. And I let loose my rage.
"Kallisto!" I shrieked, and Anna Valerious ran to Kallisto.
MY KALLISTO!
I fell onto my knees, my hands out in front of me.
"Kallisto," I whispered. I put my head in my hands and I felt something come that hadn't come in a long time. The whole time I was a vampire.
Tears.
Tears for Kallisto.
For the most beautiful. For my love. How I loved her.
When I looked up, she was gone.
They took her from me.
They took my Kallisto.
MY KALLISTO!
She was gone. Gone. Kallisto. My love. Love. Kallisto. My beauty. Kallisto. Gone.
I would get her back. I will. She is mine. My love. Mine. Kallisto.
I got up and flew to my castle. I needed to think.

"Yes, that hurts, that hurts!" Anna looked up at me. I was gripping Velkans' hand as she pulled out the knife. His face was close to mine. His eyes were so beautiful. He was so beautiful.
"Why did you do that?" he asked me softly, and I looked at him, tears in my eyes from the pain, and my tongue bleeding from me biting on it to keep in the screams. After a wave of horrifying pain passed, I spoke.
"Because I'm in love with you, Velkan. For twelve years I've loved you. I wasn't about to let you die. That is why, Prince," I said, remembering his title. He ignored it. His stare was intense and searching. Searching for answers. I stared back, then almost bit my tongue off when Anna ripped out the knife.
Tears sprinted down my cheeks, then my head was pulled to Velkan's strong shoulder. I let go and cried out the pain on the man I love more than life's shoulder.
Anna tore the hem of my beautiful ball gown and wrapped it tightly around my hand, making me cry harder. Velkan's steel arms and his hand rubbing my back weren't helping my tears either.
I turned my head so I faced his neck, and I sobbed. I was putting Velkan in danger. I just did. He would have died. It is worth this pain.
Anna pulled me off Velkan, and I thanked her. Velkan was staring at me shakily, and I got up and started walking. He would come for me. We needed to be ready. Good Lord we needed to be ready.
I looked back at Velkan. He was staring at me. He smiled a bit, and I smiled back.
Velkan.
And we were going to be ready.
On my life.
I would not let Velkan die over me.
