The bastard was skimming his fingers down Nissa’s cheek, dirt caked throughout his fingernails and the lines of his hands.

Byron blinked away the blood in his eyes. Nissa’s head hung down. She was moaning, low moans of despair. “Not again. Please, not again. Not again, I can’t survive this time. Not again.”

Not again?

Tears streamed down her cheeks. The leader grinned at her distress, his hand clutching the fabric at her chest, the cloth starting to tear.

Not again?

Byron was useless. This piece-of-shit form of couldn’t protect her. It couldn’t withstand a few hits. It couldn’t rip these bastards apart for touching her, for making her cry. He was helpless, as helpless as Nissa.

But Benton could protect her.

Not again?

That meant…

She had been helpless like this before.

Benton could kill them all. Benton would ensure her safety. And after he killed these men, Benton would visit the monsters in her past and skin them alive for what they had done to her. “Nissa, look at me!”

She didn’t acknowledge Byron, her moans the only sign she was still conscious. He had seen this before, soldiers retreating within themselves to escape the hell they were going through. He had to break through before she was lost to him.

“Nissa, look at me, look at Byron. Nissa! Remember your kids at school, remember teaching Benton to read. Nissa, look at me! Come back to me, Nissa!”

She was fighting his words, but slowly she was being pulled back to awareness. The leader laughed. “Good, good, I like it better when they fight.”

Byron ignored him. Now he had to reach Nissa. “Think about school and your kids. Nissa, come back to me.”

Her eyes raised and locked with his. She was back in her right mind, but it wouldn’t be for long. Fear already shot through her beautiful eyes as her situation pressed upon her, and he spoke before fear took her away again. “Nissa, I’m Benton.”

Confusion stopped fear’s movement, halting its progress. “What? Byron—”

“I’m not Byron, I’m Benton. A fairy godmother granted my wish and made me this. I’m Benton, your Benton.”

Her eyes were clear as they locked on his, and he saw… acceptance. She believed him. She believed him. “Benton?”

“Enough of this,” the leader interrupted. “Shut him up, let’s get to our fun.”

The leader grabbed her chin and forced his mouth on hers. Nissa’s head twisted violently as she struggled to get away, and the other bandits watched with laughing interest.

None of them were paying attention to Benton, the two holding him so loosely their contempt of him obvious.

Pain ripped through his body, sharp and stabbing, ten times greater than what he had experienced to turn into Byron. His teeth nearly bit through his lower lip as he held back screams.

After long moments both the transformation and the pain were finished. In a swift movement he leapt to his feet, freeing himself from both of his captors. He grabbed the one on his right and broke his neck, grabbing the dagger from his belt and tossing the body aside before his jailer on the left bothered to look in his direction.
