Chapter Fourteen

The Darkness Settles

It was true, what his mother had once told him. When faced with an unhappy ending sometimes you just had to keep the story going. At the time she had been talking about her inability to accept the fate of his curse. His mother had always been one of the bright places in his life; her light had only ever been outshone by one…Tanith.

He had heard his mother’s voice whispering about endings banging against his ear drum. He wanted to keep their story going; he wanted his own perfect ending. He had seen the far off look settle into Tanith’s eyes; and he reacted before his ever working mind could stop him. If he had stayed still and done nothing she might never know how he felt about her; how much he needed her. He had kept his eyes locked on hers and forced his feet to move quicker. His mind tried to talk him out of what he was about to do but his heart was singing in triumph. When he had touched her he truly felt magick touch him for the first time. He ignored the fear in his gut and the circling doubt in his head and spoke from his heart, from his soul, pouring himself into the kiss he had given her every opportunity to escape from. He wanted to believe, he needed to believe he was changing his own story. When his lips had brushed against hers it was the first time he felt fear mingle with hope. Fear that it was the last time he would touch her; hope that there would be many more. One brief taste of her and he knew he could not live without her.

A stray branch scratched the side of his face forcing him out of his beautiful memory.

He licked his lips, the tip of his tongue tingled with the fading taste of her. He wiped the tiny beads of blood from his cheek with the back of his hand and stared at the dark smear under the light of the quickly ripening moon. Kane had planned his final assault well. The full moon would prevent him from being able to stand by her when she faced the Trinity’s judgment.

Lucas stopped.

His body froze but his mind continued running with possibilities. His racing mind audibly clicked and anger began to override the fear he’d been laboriously carrying with him all day. His hands clenched into fists crushing the delicate object he had spent the past few hours searching for. Instinct took over and he began to run. Leafy, woody branches whipped him spurring his legs to move faster, begging his frail human legs to find more speed. He tore past James, barely recognizing the stunned look on his face; and not missing a step when the other man called out to him. All the while one thought screamed at him over and over…

He’s picking us off one by one.

Kieran would watch out for both girls. Tanith was safe.
