Chapter 8:

Dilandau watched Jhori walk away. When she was out of ear shot he punched his fist into the wall.

'I can't stand that girl!' he thought, 'Why is she so damn important?'

He walked down the hall towards the dragonslayers barracks. As he passed Jhori's room he thought he heard something hit the door. He pushed the keypad and had just enough time to duck as a vase came flying at him. It stuck the wall behind him and showered the floor with glass, water and three red roses.

He shot into the room and grabbed her arm before she could throw the chair she was holding.

"Let go of my jerk!" she screamed as he twisted her arm behind her back with one hand while he locked his arm around her waist, capturing her other arm as well. He slammed her against him so that she could hardly move.

"What do you think you are doing!" he yelled at her. "That vase was an antique!"

"I don't care! I am pissed and when I get pissed I tend to be destructive!"

Dilandau growled and very suddenly let go of her.

Jhori thought she was free and turned to tell him off. But just as suddenly as he let her go, he had driven his foot into her stomache sending her crashing across the room into the wall.

She slumped onto her hands and knees coughing up blood as he advanced on her. She was trying to stand when he grabbed her throat and shoved her up against the wall.

"You know, there is no one here to stop me" he said deathly calm. "From killing you i mean."

Jhori looked at him with disgust and loathing in her eyes.

"Why don't you kill me then?" she spat at him. "I don't think you have the guts."

Dilaundau let go of her throat and slapped her so hard her head snapped to the side and she slumped to the floor almost blacking out.

He squatted down beside her.

"I think I have a greater job for you..." he said stroking her hair almost lovingly. "You will become a slave. Would you like that?"

Jhori spat on his shoe.

"Get away from me you sadistic jerk!" she coughed out.

"Oh, poor girl." Dilandau said softly, gently kissing her forehead before standing up and leaving.
