CHAPTER
TWENTY
Tears flowed freely from Cheryl’s
eyes as Synrith approached her. She kept her gaze on Jet’s lifeless body, still
praying for a miracle.
Synrith stopped
a few feet short. “Leave us.”
Cassandra and
Reiko looked at each other, and then moved passed each side of Synrith.
Sophie stared
down at Cheryl a moment, before retreating with them.
Then Synrith
advanced.
He grabbed
hold of Cheryl’s throat and forced her up the wall.
“Beg for your
life,” Synrith said. “Beg me.”
Cheryl spat
in his face.
Synrith
recoiled angrily, and then slapped her with the back of his hand. He busted
Cheryl’s lip and blood sprayed.
“I said
beg
me
,” Synrith seethed between his teeth. “You gotta fucking beg after you
chose him over me.”
Cheryl
winced. “You’re so weak you make me sick.”
“What?”
“You’re weak.
You’re not a man. This isn’t how a man behaves.”
Synrith eyed
her carefully. “No it isn’t.” He then grabbed at her waist and forced her knees
to the ground. “I’m much more than a man.”
She felt his
hands quickly reaching underneath her dress and pulling down her panties.
Cheryl tried
to scrabble away but he kept her in place.
She couldn’t
believe it.
He was trying
to rape her.
“Fucking
cunt!” Cheryl screeched.
She kicked
back at him and pushed herself forward at the same time. He slipped and fell to
his knees. Cheryl started to get up, but he was right there, already on top of
her. His hard and heavy penis slapping about her backside.
“You fucking
bastard!” Cheryl yelled at him.
“Be still,
slave,” Synrith said quietly.
Cheryl’s eyes
searched in panic for Jet. At first she thought he wasn’t where he should have
been. That he had gotten up.
But then her
eyes found him.
Still on the
ground.
Still playing
dead.
What a
horrible end it would be to her story.
“Just let it
happen,” Synrith said, easing his way into her. “Remember it’s
me
. You
love me, don’t you?”
“Not
anymore,” Cheryl whispered.
“Well, you’re
going to,” Synrith threatened. “You’re going to love me until the end of –”
His words
caught him short. His hands loosened in their grip of her.
Cheryl pushed
him away and stood up as Synrith fell to his knees, apparently choking on
something.
“What the
fuck?” Cheryl whispered.
She pulled up
her panties and moved around the side of him.
Then she saw
who it was who had saved her.
It was
Sophie.
Latched onto
Synrith’s back, and stabbing him to death with the golden dagger.
Cassandra and
Reiko hadn’t even noticed what was happening. Cheryl looked back to them with
alarm, almost tripping over her own feet.
Synrith’s
body crumbled, the words still gurgling in his mouth.
Then she
looked over her shoulder and saw Jet starting to get up.
“Jet!” she
cried and ran to him.
Now Cassandra
and Reiko realized what was happening. And they weren’t happy.
“Synrith!”
Cassandra shouted. “Synrith, are you –?”
Sophie stood
up. She let the dagger fall from her fingers and walked towards them.
“What the
hell did you do?” Cassandra demanded.
Sophie
stopped in front of Cheryl and Jet.
“You were
right all along, Jet,” she whispered. “There was nothing in that dragon’s heart.”
She bowed her
head and walked past them and the two vampires.
Jet stepped
out from Cheryl’s clutches to face them.
They both
looked hesitantly at Synrith’s fallen corpse.
“Run,” Jet
said.
Cassandra and
Reiko immediately took off in fright, running past Sophie out through the
courtyard’s entrance.
Jet turned
back to Cheryl.
She wondered
if he was going to tell her to run too.
Instead, he
put both his arms around her and pulled her to his chest.
Cheryl and
Jet embraced, the purple light in the sky shining down on them, and it was
then, in that magical moment, that their lives took a turn.
This moment.
This second.
This kiss.
They’d remember
it for all eternity.
And their
love would never be broken.
