Damon POV

3 Soundtracks

Frost prickled up Damon's arms as he moved through the woods , silently in ghost-like steps. Frost clung to the outlines of the green leaves, under his weight it crunched under his feet. Damon swore softly as the patch of cold sent shivers up his spine.

This cold was unnatural, supernatural and a warning, as it was now approaching the warm casual summers. Only cold like this left a bitter taste in his mouth as he climb the ridge to meet his brothers. And for once in four centuries since his change from human to half-breed began to kick in, Damon actual shiver a the bitterness of the icy wind. And Damon actual shivered the bitterness of the icy wind. The icy unnatural air curled around his body, as he climbed higher and higher to the peak of the ridge in the earthen forest. As he stared straight ahead at his three brothers wildly shaking, with their arms wrapped around their bodies. They were huddled in a half circle around something dark lying still at their feet.

Biting the inside of his bottom lip to stop his teeth from chattering, Damon made his way towards his brothers. Their heads lifted as he approached; as he closed the circle he noticed the shape was a body. Pain was biting at his toes now, Damon grunted down considering the handsome boy, with a disgusted snarl curling on his lips. His were still wide open, the colour of a pale green mixed with amber. Much like his brothers the boy had tanned skin and long straight black hair that fell way past his shoulders. His mouth was unnatural wide open, as small tears sliced at corner of his mouth. His jaw well defined and strong, As Damon eyes travelled down from the boy's face and landed on the large slash on his smooth neck. He glanced back up at his brothers, their expressions black and unreadable.

"Do you know how long the half-breed has been dead?" He asked blankly. Chaos gasped aloud, his blank face twisted into horror as he gazed at the dead boy.

"I have no way of knowing" Lith answered there was a note frustration in his voice. He shook his head dull fully as the light of the pale sky crossed his tiered looking face, dark shadows rested under his dark sliver/ gold eyes. Reached out and touched Lith on the shoulder lightly, he was frowning his eyes stubbornly fixated on the boy below them. Damon bent low towards Lith, he was a good foot and half taller than him, in a soft delicate voice he said.

"Rest tonight I will watch over Kama" He watched his brother carefully. A thick determination on his face. He thought the boy would be more grateful, but Lith said nothing he continued not to meet his gaze. Damon frowned his eyes found Felix's calm and steady, but also dark. Felix looked oddly grey against the green surroundings. Damon tore his gaze back to Lith again.

"Brother?" He said softly.

"That's okay I can watch her". Said a soft gentle voice. Damon glanced up and smiled stiffly at Eva. She had changed since last summer; her hair was cropped short to the tip of her small shoulders. Her prominent cheek bones now smooth. A short white thin scar trailed down from her left cheek. Her smile was weary and exhausted.

Damon frowned "What happened to your face?" He moved swiftly and trace his thumb lightly over her scar. She grinned up at him now. "I haven't seen you in two summer's and your worried about a little mark on my face". Damon frowned down at his little sister before pulling her into his arms.

He pulled away from her, meeting the eyes of Felix, he stood with his arm fold around himself. The soft crunching of feet had them all starring at the hill, where Taranis stood for a moment motionless. He grunted softly with a frown wrapping his arm around himself gracefully he slid down the hill "I do not understand why one half-breed is so important" He regarded Eva with a bored look.

"You are back and well, I see Eva" he said stiffly.

She nodded once without saying a word. Abruptly Taranis turned to Damon. "well brother?" Damon glanced quickly over his shoulder at Lith. "That was why you were so quite because you invited Taranis".

With a frown Damon said "There is something out there kill us off, something dangerous and there only targeting half-breeds-"

"What should we care we are immortals" Taranis snapped out of the corner of his eyes he could see Chaos flinch.

"You care nothing of others like us?" Damon asked accusingly.

"They are not us!" Taranis roared. "And you will not seek out help from them!" He barked.

"Hey hold one second" Felix said Taranis jabbed his finger into his chest.

"You will not!" He roared. Felix took a step in his direction his eyes flaring black. With a scream Taranis was flung back, shadows within shadows stirring as the whites of his eyes died out. Before their eyes the shadows whipped at Taranis, he screamed rolling over still screaming, blood streamed down from multiple wounds along his and face staining the grass below his withering body. Damon quickly ran to his brother placing his hand firmly on his should shaking him. "You will not tell me what to do" His voice was dark and furious.

"I am no long the winkling you can manipulate and control, I am an all-powerful immortal" his voice had risen to what could only be described as the cry of all the gods.

"Damon do something before he loses himself to darkness" Eva yelled.

"Felix stop this top this now" Damon shouted trying to tear his gaze from Taranis. His body lay limp a motionless. Fiercely he shook at his brothers shoulders desperately, the shadows were drawing closer and closer to his body.

"Please brother" Damon pleaded "Please stop this now". Felix's eyes rolled up to the back of his head, before he could even think otherwise Damon caught his brother before he fell to the ground. He stared wide eyed at Eva for a fraction of a second before he caught sight of Taranis. Eva was at Taranis side in an instant hold his brothers hand.

"What just happened?" Lith asked pressing his two fingers against Felix's neck. He was still breathing they sighed with relief.

"Kama!" Spiro cried. Damon spun to see his sister crouched naked and dirty, her hand bracing against a boulder beside where she had steadied herself.

"No" She shouted in a voice so clear it was confusing why she was crouched like that. When she trembled her spine arched, and her eyes grew dark again. Damon Ran to Spiro closing his had around his shoulder, Spiro shook violently trying to shake free of him.

"Still yourself Spiro" He said in a commanding tone.

"No I will not-"

"Do as he tells you, I won't be human for long I keep changing back-"Her voice had trail of into a cry her back arched and her lips parted fangs drew down from her gums, and her skin rolled turning into fur. She howled bursting into the body of the a wolf it ran into the trees.

Zoey POV

Inception Soundtrack HD - #2 We Built Our Own World (Hans Zimmer)

Four nights and counting I had the same dark dream.

The world bathed in dark silhouettes of the normal world, like a twisted image of itself turning the most beautiful things inside out, spilling its gruesome guts insides out. The trees where black leafless skeletons of itself, the grass where dry brittle sharp roots a dirty brown colour. The sun eclipsed by a blood red moon, instead of birds in the sky bats and ravens cawing and shrieking. The wind was a ghostly horror itself, as it lifted my hair and rattled pass my ears dragging with it the sounds of human screaming.

I was staring down at myself from above as if a spirit in the sky. In a way I felt incompletely detached. The sky above me was stained a horrible blood red with a mixture of blank black. I watched as the me below me slowly rose to her feet, gripping her elbows. The me below was thin frighteningly thin, her white buck skin dress hung of her slim body. Her legs where as thin as her twig like arms as she supported herself, she was trembling as she took a step forward. I remember this part clearly now but the shock still stung in my chest.

I watched her crumple forward gasping and screaming as her back arched. Her thin arms rippled like when you touch the tip of your finger gently over a pool of water. Her eyes rolled back into whites as she sank to the ground, the brittle twigs shifted apart as large grey spiders broke out the earth crawling their way towards her. Her skin greyed as dark blood began to roll out of her mouth. Her back arched up higher than humanly possible her thin limbs trembling under her weight.

Muffled at first the sound of beating wings stirred in the air slicing through the eerie silence. The figure that dropped from the sky was always shielded, by black mist and a wavering fog. It was frighteningly tall over 6 feet. The heated dry air turned cruelly cold like invisible daggers stabbed at my frozen skin, as I watched the figure loom over the me below me. It reached down and touched her face with bronze fingers. The thin me below eyes fluttered open to a warm loving gold, as she looked up at the shielded figure she grasped its fingers. The blood that silently dripped from her lips now began to gush out of her mouth nose and slide down from her cheeks from her ears. Her lips curved up into a bright smile as bloody tears rolled from her eyes.

"You will break me"

Paleness coloured her grey skin as she collapsed dead. The creature threw back its head and wailed an animalistic cry, clearly in pain. Black wing busted out from its shrouded black silhouetted back. Blood poured from the sky as rain, as the screaming wind brushed violently around the figure. The dead ground rip open spitting up Hades flames. The figure shrivelled up into its self as the blood splatted and weighed down its form.

I woke up at the sound of the howls of wolves, my hair plastered to my forehead and cheeks with sweat. By body lunched forward as I ran from the tent into the dawning light. Trembling I gripped my stomach weeping, as the baby kicked at me. Warm arms wrapped around me and pulled me up right.

"What did you dream of?" Draco whispered into my ear. I didn't know whether it was because I felt frighteningly vulnerable. But the sound of his warm worried voice made me instinctively curled up into his strong chest, my arms wrapped around his neck, as I rested my head against the curve of his neck.

I am legend- I'm listening

"It was the same dream" I wiggled closer into his well-muscled arms. He grunted softly , while his hand settled on my back.

"You have been watching your own death" He sounded strained. Frowning I lifted my gaze to his beautiful face which was staring up at the morning pink blurred blue sky.

"It is beautiful is it not?" I sighed leaning my weight on his chest; he didn't seem to mind, or barely notice. Draco chuckled softly. "The stars" He said it as soft prayer.

"The stars?" I caught his calm gaze as he stared up in wonder; his golden eyes sparkled as he looked back down at me. And when he grinned like a boy my heart melted in my chest, the way Kalona grinned at me after he made love to me.

He brought his hand up slowly, as he watched with a strange curiosity, his fingers traced over my cheek. I felt my insides flip uncomfortably, but I felt compelled by the spell of his magical touch to stand still.

"And the daylight" he whispered his lips barely parted to move.

"Why the stars?" I said pulling his hand from my cheeks and grasping it firmly in my own.

He chuckled a little before he let go of my hand, and glided gracefully a short distance towards the boarder of the meadow to the forest. There he stopped confidently squared his shoulders as he turned his body to face me. His eyes still sparkled this time with delight as he lifted his out stretched hand towards me, like a commanding awe inspiring powerful god.

"Come with me and I will tell you"

I felt myself stiffen, did I really want to go wondering with this Angel. Fallen angel . Alone? did I trust in him that much? I didn't even know him. He just might be mad. He had called me Zoey!-

"A-ya I vow to you with all that I am I will not harm you". He'd also said he loved me once which was mad, but when you love someone you'd never hurt them.

"Keep your vow I trust you" I took his hand as he moved a step ahead of me into the brightening woods.

Hans Zimmer - A Way of Life

"Do you know of the story of the stars" The seriousness of his tone caught my attention. My eyes travelled from the path ahead to meet his darkening gaze. "No I do not" I said talking around the sudden build-up of dryness in my throat. His lips twitched back in almost smile as he broke our gaze and stared forward.

"Almost the beginning of time the first angel was born to the otherworlds, back then he was not an angel. But an experiment of the God Uranus." Draco looked abruptly to me then. "You know who Uranus is?"

Subconsciously I nodded "Father of all the gods".

He nodded swiftly and looked back at our path. " Father sky and consort to Mother Earth, Uranus to begin with mated with one of his giants offspring though which one is unclear but not unimportant. It was said in legend that after Uranus mated with the giant she died giving birth to her first son. Uranus took no interest in his son never even gave the boy a name. Till the eighteenth of the boy's birth day, when the boy proven himself to his father and slayed his first demon on a hunting trip. From that day on after being so impressed Uranus thought the son worthy of divinity of his over offsprings the titans".

"So Uranus gifted the son with three gifts: The first a name Raphael , second Raphael's wish was to be by his father side, being father sky Uranus gifted Raphael with wings as white as his clouds. And third Uranus gifted the boy his own powers, in a way he became as brilliant as the gods. Rehael was a smart man and used a fraction of his third gift, diming his divine powers permanently, to cast along with his fraction of divine power a piece of his soul, beyond the heavens and into the sky. Creating the first star. From then he was able to fly along the sky "

"Years later when Kronos over ruled his father he enslaved his brother Raphael and forced him to protect him from his son's, but Raphael disobeyed and betrayed him when he let Rhea into his chambers and castrated him. To thank him Rhea released him from his enslavement, but feeling by nature anxious for her he stayed at her side. Thus swearing to her to protect her and making the first warrior's oath. Rhea accepted the oath, and they secretly mated together to create the first generation of winged gods, which Raphael brought up to follow their father's ways. "

For a moment we stared up at the last remaining stars in silence as they fade away in the morning light. "Those are angel souls?" I asked Draco shivered violently beside me. "But there are so many"

"Some of us descend to do the god's biddings by walking along side humans as humans in the otherworlds through to their deaths" He said sadly. "Those of us most brave intelligent and memorable angel's scattered pieces of their souls together to create memorable patterns in the sky. " He pointed to a shape of star that looked like a vertical straight line. "Look there those belong to Gabriel, Lucifer and our father Rephael"

"Tomorrow will you show me which one is your star" Draco stiffen and made a pained groaning sound crossed between a whine.

I looked to him anxiously the pain in his eyes was unbearable. "When an angel choose to move from the will of the superior god's Rehael's light leaves their wings and turns them black, the soul the angel casted into the heaves before their very first flight dissolves away, as If they were never even born." He sighed. " I have no place in the otherworld any more I have shamed Raphael and therefore I have no soul there"

"Do you think she was worth it. Hemera?" His sad eyes lightened a shade as his gaze locked with mine.

"I'd fall a thousand times more and over again just to be with my goddess" he met my gaze steadily.

"I thought it was forbidden to love your goddess" He shook his head. "Forbidden in Nyx's eyes only" There was a touch of anger in his voice as he said Nyx. He stopped abruptly then his eyes fixated forward slowly I turned to face the thing that had stop Draco in his tracks. It was large brown wolf It must have been yards away from us, but crunch of a twig beneath my foot had its head turning fast. It stared at us for less than a second and then gracefully it bounded off.

For a moment we stood in silence.

"Spiro will be pleased" Draco clapped his hands together, he turned away marching back the way we came.

"I do not understand" I said hurrying after him. He pulled apart a fern bush and held it for me to step through.

"It means Spiro can be of use" He grimaced then and corrected himself " I mean-"

"What you mean is finally you can be rid of my son" a dark voice interjected that wasn't Draco's. Draco whipped around round for a single instant his eyes were instantly shocked. In a flash his wings unfurled abruptly open, revealing hidden in the dark folds of his wings a single indigo feather. His eyes had turned a horrible crimson red, and for the first time since we'd met I actual felt fear towards him. Hesitantly I took a step away from him, he didn't seem to notice for his red gaze was directly ahead

"I told you never to come back" he voice had grown to an angry, it was so unnatural that he sounded so foreign to me now. With every breath he seemed to take his physical grew larger and angrier. His chuckle was as dark and terrible and compelling, erotic as his voice. His laugh was so casual and careless that I had to tear my gaze from Draco.

It was Eros! He was casually leaning against the frame of a sycamore tree. His beautiful face half hidden in the shadows casted by the tall trees behind him. His black eyes a shade darker glinted without right clear defiance. His arms crossed of his chest as he grinned darkly at Draco. From the very first dream about Hemera a when they were children, I had been instantly drawn to meeting this fallen angel. There was something about him that had this strange kind of electric pull that forced me to think of him from time to time. There was something dark and intense about his whole look, from his dark hair to the startling darkness in his black eyes.

His eyes flickered to mine his easy going gaze morphed into some strange new kind of emotion. The way sometimes Kalona would look at me, my breath caught in my chest as that emotion poured over his features. Aggressively I felt Draco snake his arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. As quickly as the emotion came it left, as Eros's eyes whipped back to Draco, and all of a sudden I could breathe again.

"Leave now". Eros snarled his black eyes were beginning to burn the same red color as Draco's . With those blazing red eyes Eros smiled the way the devil might of, moments before he fell from heaven. His eyes flashed at Draco as he deliberately took a step towards the both of us. His lips turned up in a smirk, his eyebrows arched expectantly as he took another step forward.

Draco's nostrils flared his lips pulled back savagely as a deep growl rippled through his chest. Eros took another step forward the amusement on his face was clear on his face as the anger on Draco's. Testing the soil with the balls of his feet before he stepped again, grinning directly into Draco golden eyes.

"I said!-" Draco began but Eros cut him off.

"I heard what you said I am not deaf" His voice was as sharp as the tip of a dagger.

"Then why did you come?" Draco roared his anger rippled through his mighty body. He took a step in Eros' direction, knowing what would come next if I did not act out. I ducked under Draco's out stretched wing, cupping his face gently in my hands as I moved in front of him. Staring into those scary red eyes, I spoke softly to him.

"Draco I'll be back before dawn-"

"No you will not!" he said grabbing hold of my hand.

"Please Draco there are some question I have, questions I need him to answer, and my voice had dropped to a low whisper as I tried to keep the trembling out of my voice.

"No he is the reason I lost you in the first place, it's his fault you don't remember who I am"

"But I do"

He shook his head impatiently "You do know not, it is his fault you don't even remember your own son!" My heart froze over, he must of saw the panic in my eyes for his own in those golden eyes held horror. Without a word he released my hand taking a stiff step backwards.

"What did you just say" my voice was hoarse with dryness.

When he said nothing but looked past my shoulder. I felt Eros touch his hands on my shoulders, I stiffened under his touch suddenly not wanting him near me.

"I will answer your questions A-ya" His voice sounded soft, too soft.

I was tempted to shake of his touch to pull away, and prise information out of Draco. But then again If I rejected Eros now who knew when I would see him again. He was as predictable as thunder in a rain storm sometimes it would happen sometimes it would not. I would see Draco again.

"I want to know-"

"Make sure you keep her safe" Draco said to Eros. Like a switch that had been flicked on his horror expression suddenly transformed to a blank canvas.

"I will always protect her, many things have changed for me in my life but till my very last breath I stay true to my goddess" Eros said sounding confident and assertive.

Draco nodded swiftly, in one quick movement he turned away in to the glow of the morning light and took to the sky.

Tsi Sgili POV

Something unsteady and deeply unsettling stirred in the corners of the Tsi Sgili mind that night, as she lay in her earthen chamber tossing and turning cursing impatiently under her breath, awaiting sleep to take her. Her thick brown wavy hair sprawled out across the patch of her folded animal hind. She sighed impatiently yet again, the thing was never comfy, she had tried a thousand time and a thousand times over that to make it the way Cain had.

Angrily she punched at the furs with a scream, and sat straight up. The bear skin cover she had made for her bed slide straight of her naked body. "This is impossible!" She hissed eerily mirroring the sound of the crackling fire from the large fire pit that warmed the centre the room where she tried unsuccessfully to curl up and sleep.

The body next to her strong and muscular stirred. His brown hand reached out touching her lightly on her abdomen. His touch did not sooth her or awaken her flaming lust as it had the night before, it only strengthen her frustration. She slashed at his hand with her thick long nail, smiling as she did so when the thick welt began to weep a line of blood. He drew back almost instantly, cupping his hand as his brown eyes looked up at her with pain.

"Did I displease you my love?" His voice was thick with the haze of sleep, but also deep with seduction. She smiled then it was a small tease, she was almost pleased with the sound of the Cherokee half breed's voice. Almost. His weeping welt had already begun to heel as his amber eyes stared up at her with lust, hungrily he lick his bottom lip as he watched her lips. He reached up confident and so very sure of himself and began to trail his fingers through her brown hair. She let him for a while do so before he pulled himself up to sit beside her, trailing his rough fingers over her collar bone and brushed aside her thick hair. He began to kiss down her slender neck to her shoulder.

When his hand trailed down to her breast she caught him there. "Enough" She whispered.

"Enough, you do not want me to stop my love. Let me make love to you again" His voice was rough with desire and heat. Succumbed by boredom she slashed at his cheek, he pulled away with a whine cupping his cheek. She stood then baring her body to the naked flames of the fire, by the look on his hurt face she could tell he was ready to go to her again. She held up her hand firmly stopping him before he could make another move towards her.

The boy was merely the age of seventeen. Handsome and strong a common quality with half breeds with almond shaped amber eyes and long straight black hair that fell well past his shoulders. His lips were slim but lush, hardly as full as Cain's but it had to do. Lately she found her lack of sleep more than annoying, so as she strolled through the woods she caught sight of the boy and desire her took her. She thought foolishly that with a bed partner she would be able to sleep well, but that only worsen her condition.

She wanted someone with his silver eyes his dark hair. She wanted an immortal not a piece of immortality and only a fraction of their father's god like beauty, she wanted all of it. She flicked her wrist dismissively as she turned away from him without a single thought reaching for her dress.

"Go I do not want you here" She sounded more bored than annoyed.

She could feel the weight of his gaze on her as she dressed. She sighed and spun to face him, "I have no more need of you leave me"

She did not care to feel anything when she saw the flash of pain in his eyes. "My love-"

"I am not your love!" She barked at him, flinching as if she had physically struck out against him, he pulled out of the covers to find his pants. Stumbling foolishly like a drunken man, she lost patience with him, went round the bottom of the bed and threw his pants at him.

"I just want him gone" She thought turning her back on him yet again, starring into the flickering fire.

She had not known why she found her-self drawn to the boy. She could have chosen any human, but then again they were too mortal, too weak and had always felt less experienced to her. She did not know how Ryina could tolerate them night after night. When the door shut softly behind her she let out a deep sigh, she'd never fall asleep now. So the Tsi Sgili counted to one hundred. Like a leaf caught in the wind she smoothly got up and walked towards her chamber door pulling them apart she caught the stench of blood in the air.

Zoey POV

Day light was warm and soothing, as it stretched out over the gentle flow of the water. The light was warm under my toes, as the sea washed up against my ankles I let out another squeak of surprise.

"The hundredth time today and still you act surprised" Eros laughed. I smiled watching him from over my shoulder. As his soft dark eyes sparkled in the setting sun, "It is just so unusual I have never behind to the sea before. The river is a completely different thing, but this is so oddly comforting."

His smile grew and grew as he watched me with attentive eyes. Eros gazed at the sun cocking his head to side curiously as he did. We had been here almost a full day now, at first our meeting together had been intense and awkward especially after he had found out my history with Kalona and had reacted basically the same way Draco had, when he found out I was carrying his baby. But then after things had settled down and after I fought with myself not to leave him here cursing and throwing sand and rocks and whatever he could get his hands on into the sea. I found out quite a lot from him. Eros was as kind and loving as the boy who knew Hemera.

His easy going smile faded when he gazed back at me, he reached out slowly with his thumb and caressed the side of my cheek, his eyes seemed to go unfocused a distant. I heard him let out a sigh almost in relief. "What is wrong A-ya?" He said softly.

I sighed not wanting to get to this part of the conversation.

"Who is Hemera?" I asked reaching up to take his hand in mine. For a moment he went completely still, like a statue his face was expressionless. Frozen by his beauty, here with him it felt timeless so it could have been hours before he finally responded to me.

"She was my Goddess, my life" He sounded utterly defeated.

I shook my head. " I mean where is she what happened to her? Draco said-"

"Draco took her from me" He said savagely his breath suddenly raged, he turned away from me staring at the setting sun. For a long time we stared in silence "I was a fool to listen to Kalona" The hatred in his voice was so startling that I tore my gaze to look at him. "I should have listened to my brother, for so long I have blamed him for my foolishness, when everything has been my fault. I lost everything the day Nyx banished me from Hemera's side. "He looked from the setting sun and into my eyes the grief there was too much to bare, but to heart breaking to look away from.

"And now she is lost"

Gently I placed my hand on his forearm "did you try to move on"

His laugh was humourless and dry. "Have you not met my son Spiro" he said disdainfully.

"I created him and all of his brothers" With a sigh he said. "I did not wish for sons but I got them" Taking my hand he lead me back up the cliff from which we came. On top without another word he took flight.

An hour later and night spread across the sky leaving the world beneath it to bask in it's dark brilliance. The silence between us mirrored by the eerie fell I felt in the forest, like something wasn't quite right. With a groan I clutched my stomach, It felt like heat and ice licked my insides. With a cry I felt my body slump to the forest floor.

"A-ya" Eros' face flashed in front of my eyes. Black spots flashed across my eyes, till finally I collapsed giving in to the darkness that had begun to cloud my vision.

Tsi Sgili POV

Silently in less than an hour later she caught sight of the silver birch forest. Her footsteps where hushed by the gently flow of the stream. Gracefully she stepped passed the trees and onto his land, she could hear the soft sounds of deep breathing. As she moved towards his tent she took note of the mess that surround it. Some things never change. She thought with a sad smile. She parted the curtain gently letting a single strip of innocence moonlight catch the lines of her old lovers face. She let out the breath she didn't know she was holding when her eyes took in the empty space next to him. His chamber was as messy as it was outside, with useless strips of cloth displayed lazily around his bedding. Ferns and leaves from neglected swiping, even though the man had daughters his room was still a mess. She couldn't help but feel annoyed, had she been here with him like all those years ago she never would have him mess up her good work.

She remembered when he'd asked

Why she clean so much." If I don't then who will my love" She whispered against his lips. When she had lain down beside him and he had wrapped his wings around the both of them. Once upon a time they had been completely and utterly happy. His long dark hair swayed across his face as he turned to face her. His wings slightly opened as he did so. He grunted and spun away from her, a small smile formed on her lips as she watched him stir yet again. As if made for each other they once were so linked that they physically even if they wanted to could never seem to fall asleep unless the other was completely at peace.

I have caused his restlessness. She jumped when he muttered something drowsily. She long to go to him, to curl up next to him and sooth him, she wanted so badly to lie in his arms just to be held by him. The half breeds were not as big as Cain, they never did feel right enough to lie peacefully next to. She had tried so hard to move on to cope with not being with him and more, but it had just been so unbearable.

And those eyes the day she had met him before he even utter a word those eyes captivated her in ways, that still baffled her. As if on her last thought his eyes fluttered open. The Tsi Sgili held her breath as those striking silver eyes looked up at her. He did not move but only went stiff, as she began to back away he sat straight up, eyes widen in bafflement and sheer shock. They stared at each for over five minutes before he moved, pulling completely out of his bedding slowly he rose to his feet his still fastened on her unblinkingly, he moved towards her silent tears flowing down both of their cheeks.

He had reached the curtains, staring down at her with an oddly silently longing. In disbelief his eyes scanned over her frame. As he did gently he pulled back the curtains to his chamber. Moonlight poured over his cheeks turning his salty tears to the same brilliant silver in his eyes. She stared up at him in amazement like it was the first time she'd seen him truly.

Breathing hard she reached up to touch the silver that ran from his eyes, He shivered automatically she pulled away. She was used to making men shiver like that only from the pain she carried in her touch. She didn't in any way want to harm him, don't again. Seeing him now before her made her heart squeeze painfully beneath her breast bone. Twice as swiftly and twice as gentler as she ever thought was possible he took her hand, his gaze still on her, he lift his hands to his lips and delicately as if she were as breakable as twig he kissed her a palm. A chilling shiver passed through her body, one that she long thought she would never feel again, the one he gave to her each time he had kissed her like he had loved her.

He whimpered softly, with a cry the Tsi Sgili through her arms around his bent neck. He held her with such a fierceness that she thought she would break. Tears rolled out of her eyes as she breathed in his minty scent.

"You smell the same" She whispered into his hair. Immediately regretting her foolishness. His chuckle was a mixed with a desperate cry. When he pulled back a little to gaze down at her face she brought her hand up to wiep away at his tears.

"I thought you were an illusion, I thought you were a dream" His voice was hoarse with pain and sorrow. When he brought his lips against her they were so soft and delicate, that she cried against his lips.

"Nerilla" He whispered pulling them both back into his bed chamber. She pulled him harder against him cupping his face as they together deepen the kiss, he pulled at her hips aggressively once they had lain down, the way he always had. When they pulled apart the both breathing hard as she sat straddled on top of him. Tears still flowing slowly from his eyes, heart break pain and love whipped across his face. In the darkness of his tent his beautiful silver eyes shimmered in the darkness creating their own light.

"Cain" He closed his eyes with a moan, she leaned forward pressing her finger tips against his chest. She kissed at the place where his heartbeat he shivered again this time she didn't draw away. As her kisses trailed up from his chest to his ear where she nipped it playfully.

"I love you" His eyes flicked open he turned to her eagerly.

"And I love you" He frowned then. "Stay with me here tonight" He whispered.

She smiled up at him with a un measureable amount of joy. "I will my love".

"I won't ever leave you again" The pain in his eyes flashed away, and the joy that was left was suffused with so much joy that her heart literally began to ach and the sight of him.

When she kissed his lips again there was so much passion, all she knew and think about was him. He let her undress him slowly, once he was completely naked he undressed her kissing her warm skin as he did. When he laid her down on his bed he took her hand in his, kissing down from her palm down her wrist his tongue tickling against her skin. She giggled like she was seventeen when he found her ticklish spot and kept stroking her there. He smiled mischievously at her as he continued to gently lick just beneath her wrist.

"No.. no.. you know I hate that" She said between panting laughs.

"Then why do you laugh if you hate it so much?" He said smiling into her eyes, her breath caught as the feathers from his wings grazed over her stomach, as he leaned forward.

His eyes had darkened "are you ready?" She frowned up at him. She reached up and touched his cheek lightly.

"We have done this before" she smiled.

He smiled ruefully at her and said. "I will threat this night as If it were our very last, only the gods know when we could be drawn apart again."

"No do not talk like that I plan to stay with you for the rest of my life" She cried.

"I know my love, I know but we do not have eternity together you are mortal Nerilla" Her heart ached in her chest, and tears stung her eyes, she watched him with a watery gaze.

"I will make myself immortal for you" Her voice was a whisper. "I want forever with you Cain"

With a pain filled cry he leaned forward and whispered with a firm finality, "Like our last" He repeated he kissed her as he did sinking deep within her.
