A/n: Hey all, well time has gone by since my last update. I'm sorry for that. I have two research papers due in the next week and I can't find time to write my own story let alone my fanfiction one. And again for that I am sorry. The world has decided that in this moment it wants to push me and pull me in every direction while telling me I have to do everything by my self. It's oodles of fun. Well to the story now.
Chapter 13
Kaye had to shade her eyes. Even though a full day had passed since Nikolas had been with her, sunset seemed to hurt her eyes. She saw two shadows standing before her and one of them spoke her name. She looked up to see Jaguar looking down on her with horror and pity in his gaze. She lurched to her feet in an effort to run at him but was quickly brought down again by a swift kick in the back of the knees.
"Oh Kaye" it was more of a sigh than anything else. Jaguar looked down at the ragged dirty girl that lay before him. "What has she done to you?"
Nikolas watched over Jaguars shoulder as Kaye was forced to the ground. Nikolas tried and tired again to think of some possible reason for why Riska of all vampires would be this mean. She had had her own reasons for being mean to Aubry but she wasn't this mean to Jaguar before. He had an idea but it was hard to prove at the moment.
Riska stood holding onto the rag that was Kaye's shirt watching Jaguar. "Alright you want her back so bad even after she has been marked?" She held up Kaye's scared wrist that had NIKOLAS branded into her skin. The scars were red and puffy as if they were getting infected.
"Those marks are not permanent, Nikolas made sure of that didn't you?" he turned to Nikolas.
"Funny thing about that, the knife went a little farther in than we had originally expected. She will indeed be scared for life like all the others." Nikolas had a look of mischief in his eyes.
"They WILL scar?" Jaguar turned his back to Riska and Kaye and shouted at Nikolas.
"You are not the boss of me. Yes I know that that sounds childish but you know what? She is an exquisite creature and it is very hard to resist a human as strong as her." Nikolas shrugged. "But you want to deal with 'Riska' first before you go and try to kill me." He pointed to Riska who had dropped Kaye and drawn a silver blade from her waist.
Riska rushed in Jaguars direction swiping in a crescent shape. Jaguar dodged the blade and crouched low to the ground as Riska went past him. He drew his own daggers and stood waiting.
"Come now Riska is that all you've got?" he taunted her. She rush forward again stabbing repeatedly. He couldn't avoid one of the stabs and felt the blade slice through his skin as if it were butter. It didn't burn on contact so he knew that it wasn't a witch blade and that he would heal quickly.
He was able to grab Riska by the collar of her shirt as she backed away and he held her by the back of the throat and held his blade to her throat so tight that if she moved she would cut her own throat.
'Riska' took out a lighter and began to play with the flame against Jaguars skin. The bright blue flame of a lighter burned his body on contact and he let go of her. His mind began to catch up with his body. Riska didn't play with fire it wasn't her style she didn't enjoy playing with humans either. "Well Fala I see you've perfected your illusions."
