Her usual green skirt was now an odd color that bordered close to purple. White socks on both legs were now stained; her face was as pale as the first snowflakes that fell during winter. Her lips lost their brilliance and for the first time, his heart throbbed because of fear.

Where was his idiotic half-brother when she needed him?

Fear turned to rage and it slowly overwhelmed him. The more he was exposed to her unmoving and seemingly lifeless body, the more the sensations intensified.

Rage was, unlike fear, so familiar and instinctive. He let himself indulge it as it flooded and filled him.

Fists clenched, his eyes started to glow red: fierce and raw.



Chapter fourteen end.
