Chapter 10: Star's blood is unique.
Darcia was stopped by groups of men here and there.
He easily ripped their thoats with his sharp fangs, not caring that he was being repeatedly shot.
They weren't really wounding him, with his strength and surprisingly he kept healing most of his wounds.
He could see Jagura's castle getting closer and closer.
One more group of men tried to stop him, yet he killed them.
Then he was free, running quickly to the castle, he could smell blood, they were using HER blood.
He entered the castle in his human form.
He stopped, looking around the first room.
The guards there, looked, and immediatley fell, his golden eyes were even more powerful on them.
He walked foward, coming to the flight of stairs, there was a glowing at the top, he went up the stairs.
When he reached the top, he went into one of the rooms, it had Star laying on a hard box, with a hundred or thousand tubes implanted in her, she laid there unconscious, a wolf laid below her, sleeping but also keeping gaurd.
Darcia walked in and it immediatley awoke the wolf, he stood growling.
Darcia made his wolf side visible.
" I presume you are the one who took Star?" Darcia said, standing before the wolf.
" Hmm, she's yours? I never noticed, she shouldn't have gotten too close." Tiro said.
" Where is she?" Darcia asked, referring to Jagura.
" My queen? She is in her chambers, she would be delighted to see you." Tiro said.
Darcia stood there.
" I am sorry, but I am on a tight schedule." Darcia said, and walked foward.
Tiro lunged.
Darcia simply caught him by the throat, and tossed him into the wall, which he fell unconscious.
Darcia stared at Tiro for a while, before making his human form and walking up to the sleeping white wolf.
He took a handful of the wires, and slowly pulled them out of Star's body.
After a while, he had them all out.
She was still unconscious, he couldn't blame her, her body had a million punctures from the tubes, and she was still slowly bleeding.
" Star." Darcia said.
Star opened her eyes, she was looking up at Darcia, he was blurry but she could see him.
" Dar..cia." She whispered.
" Hang on to me." He said bending before her.
She let her human side show, and she slowly put an arm around his neck, he lifted her up off the table, and she was resting in his arms.
Without any interferance, he walked out of the castle, out of the town, into the forest, into a dark, safe cave.
The whole walk, he kept his eyes on her, every couple seconds one of her puntures would completely heal.
She slept, tired from blood loss.
He laid her on the ground of the cave slowly, her arm that was around his neck, he slowly laid it down beside her.
He once again took off his coat and put it around her, and he left the cave to go to the river.
He returned multiple times, cleaning her wounds, and when he was done, he rested himself again the wall, letting sleep get the best of him.
...
Star groaned in slight pain as her eyes opened, her body felt like she had been stabbed by a hundred knives.
She moved a little, her body ached.
She remebered, the wolf, he had taken her, she was put on a table, gaurds kept sticking these needles in her, and slowly she felt her blood leaving her, but, there weren't needles in her anymore, she was in somewhere dark.
She slowly worked her way in a sittling position.
Darcia lifted his head, opening his eyes, when he heard her.
He immediatley moved to her side.
She gasped, she didn't expect to see him here.
" When... Did you get here?" Star asked.
" You're safe now, I got you away from there, are you ok?" Darcia asked.
" I feel like I've been stuck by a hundred knives." Star said.
Darcia smiled at her humor in her voice, " Yes well, you're safe now."
Star looked up at him, " Thank you."
" You're welcome."
Star tried to stand.
" You don't need to work yourself." Darcia said, putting his hands on her arms.
" I need to get up." Star said.
Darcia was hesitant, but the way she sounded, it didn't sound as if she was being stubborn or anything.
He nodded, and he stood her up.
She leaned against him for a minute, before moving back, and she limped her way out of the cave.
Darcia slowly followed her, wondering just where she was wandering to.
Night had come and the full moon was at the peak.
She walked out a little bit more from the cave, and stopped, and turned her face up to the moon.
Darcia came to the mouth of the cave, watching her.
What was she doing.
She had her eyes closed, and the moon seemed to be brighter around her.
She inhaled a deep breath, and slowly released it, and opened her eyes again, looking at the moon for a few more minutes.
She dropped her head then, and looked at Darcia, " I feel better now."
Darcia nodded.
" Thank you for saving me, I owe my life to you." Star said, walking up to him.
" No you don't." Darcia said.
Star looked down.
Darcia looked out in the forest, he caught a scent, a wonderful scent.
" You smell that?" Darcia asked.
Star lifted her head, looked out at the forest sniffing.
" Is that..."
" Paradise." Darcia finished.
" We're almost there!" Star said happily.
" Yes, I think you should rest before we arrive tomorrow." Darcia said.
Star looked at him, and nodded.
She walked past him and returned in the cave, making her wolf form and laying down.
Darcia joined her, He laid down next to her, and they curled against eachother.
Darcia was going to miss her.
He may even think...
Star had no idea what she was in for.
She was excited, Darcia would probably join her in paradise, but Darcia knew his decision, he didn't want to leave her because...
She didn't want him to ever leave her because...
' I think.' Star thought.
' I fear." Darcia thought.
'That i might be in love with him.' Star thought before going to sleep.
' That I might have fallen in love with her.' Darcia thought as he relaxed and fell asleep.
