Danhoul realized she was valiantly attempting to fight the evil, but it was sapping her strength in so doing. As he sliced his chest and poured his own blood on her wound, she screamed out in indescribable pain and he realized it would do nothing. He saw how his own blood seemed to sizzle and almost boil upon touching the open wound.

“It is because you possess white magic, Danhoul. The evil caused by the cursed blade does not want to see me healed. Your magic is benevolent and only used for the purpose of good. The demon must have also placed a spell on the cursed blade so that the more we attempt to thwart the evil, the quicker it spreads,” she tried to warn Danhoul as she calmed him as well.

Danhoul knew she was correct for now the wound appeared even more angry and red, large blisters had formed and the blackness surrounding it steadily grew faster and faster.

“You must get me off this ship!” Her eyes glowed from a disturbing red to a dark black as she spoke to Killian in a deep and menacing tone that was clearly not Alainn’s own voice.

He glanced at her with distress on his face, and Danhoul nodded to him in regretful agreement.

“I will see to it!” Killian’s voice clearly depicted his anguish as he hesitantly left the room to speak with the captain.

“Can you continue to fight it?” Danhoul asked.

“Not for much longer, Danhoul. I must ask you to swear to me you will take my life if it comes to that!” she moaned.

“I will!” he agreed without question, though Alainn knew how adamantly he despised the very notion.

When Killian returned he simply nodded to Danhoul before he took Alainn in his arms again and gently placed a loving kiss upon her lips. She smiled up at him through her agony and touched his face.

“If I am able to make it back to you, if it is within my power as a witch and a woman, I will, my love. I promise you that.”

“And I will wait for that day, every day of my life, Alainn.”

“No, Killian, if I am not back with you by the next full moon, you must carry on, for if I am unable to fight it by then, I will become hopelessly consumed with evil. I hope then never to see anyone I have ever known or loved in my life! I pray Danhoul will be true to his word and end my life if it comes to that, for Killian, my only love, I know within my heart, you could not!”

She noticed his intense green eyes had begun to glisten with tears once more and she felt her own tears falling steadily down her cheeks.

Alainn saw Conner fight to hold Lily back while Alainn was placed within the small boat. The captain and the others aboard were simply told Alainn had suffered an injury that could not be properly attended to on board the ship.
