Chapter 8 – London

She never let go of my cloak as we ran, or when I had to slow to a walk from time to time to rest. She seemed to never tire, and we spoke as we traveled. She did most of the speaking as she wasn't even winded. Was her Yth'Ical aspect giving her the energy and stamina to keep moving like that? It was a sobering thought, knowing it was the souls of those damned by the curse, or those who were killed in the name of it, which gave her inner beast its strength. She spoke of her home, Bucuresti in Romania. Of growing up with her parents, who worked as servants for a powerful family there, the Marcus family. Of the friends and family she said she wished to see again. It broke my heart to tell her that fifty years had passed since the Lupus Curse was unleashed upon the land. This had her just staring off into space as we stopped to drink from a stream beside the roadway. I heard her whispering as her pain returned to her, “Fifty years? Fifty years in the pit?” She looked at her hands again. I knew she was looking for the telltale signs of age and not finding them. We spoke of me, and how I am able to give her the peace and serenity that she has craved for so long. Then I blushed again when she teased, “All that hope in one cute little woman.” I defended admirably with, “Hey...” Which had me instinctively smiling at the huge smile on her face. She knew she was getting to me and the minx was enjoying the sway she already held over me. I was noticing her radical shifts of emotion. Like she was having a difficult time keeping track of our topics. From one moment to the next she could move from despair over the loss of family, to flirty happiness as she teased like she almost didn't remember the prior topic. I thought on that as she told me of the betrayal of the Marcus brothers when they stole her away one night and tied her up to sacrifice. She could feel the silver knife being driven through her flesh and the wave of agony as she felt torn from herself and thrust into the pit. Her eyes started smoking at that, and I had to calm her, feeling on the verge of giving in to the seductive feel of Yth'Ical inside me and knowing how right it felt. Just to be pulled back to myself when I noticed Illiya's eyes in front of mine. She was holding my cheeks, her face inches from mine as she whispered, her breath hot on my face. “Come on Belle, come back to me. You have to stop taking on my rage. I fear that you may succumb to it if you pull it in as your own like that.” I was staring at her lips and smiled as I whispered back, “You're so beautiful, Illy.
