Chapter Seventeen:

I groaned and sat myself back up, rubbing at the aching pain that drummed along my spine and neck joints. Betrayal dropped her arms from around my neck before shuffling off of me.

“I’m … free?” She was trembling badly, I wasn’t sure if it was due to massive shock or perhaps her sudden freedom from Lust’s clutch after being imprisoned for so long that had her a unsteady mess. I rubbed at her shoulders comfortingly, before inspecting her scarred eye.

“Does it hurt?”

“Not anymore.” Betrayal coughed into a smile. She had a beautiful smile that I couldn’t help myself but grin back.

“Teresa can you hear me? Teresa?” Elliot crawled over towards Teresa before lifting her head. She was badly injured, much worse than both Elliot and my own injuries put together. She was unconscious that her head rolled limp in his cradled grip.

“Crap – Jordon, I need to get Teresa back. Please help Melissa find a host then meet me back at my place.” He instructed with a longing look at Betrayal before vaporising beneath the shadow’s skin. I took Betrayal by the elbow but she lifted her hand to stop me. For a moment she just sat there, staring down at her feet where her high heels were tied around her ankles, a strange combination with her silk nightie dress.

“Why me?” She finally asked after a two minute pause.

“Because you are loved by a loyal, brave Reaper.” I replied with a smile, “And I need your help to save someone that is dear to me.”

“Another Banished?” Betrayal asked.

“Yes, a young boy. My brother in fact, his name is Evan and I must protect him.”

In gentle curiousity Raix uncurled from the shadows and sniffed the air around her, loosening an unsettled growl from his throat as Betrayal shuffled backwards.

“No, no it’s okay. He won’t hurt you,” I reassured while glancing my hand on Raix’s snout, redirecting his gaze down.

“A monster?” She whispered and I shrugged unknowingly.

“A goon they are called. His name is Raix, I guess you can he is me.” I stroked Raix’s neck as he let out an annoyed snort before stepping back into the shadows.

“What is your name?” She pinned a black strand of wispy hair behind her ear lobe, revealing the prominent pink blush that coloured her iris.

“I’m Jordon.” She gently leant towards me and pressed her ear into my chest, before taking in a deep breath.

“I can hear your heart beating.” I didn’t know what to say to that as Betrayal lifted her face so her eye moved onto my silver hues. “I had thought Reapers were heartless creatures.”

“We only do what we are told, unfortunately.” I moved her head away from my chest, “There’s a world out there ruled by spirits and creatures that I am still trying to understand.”

“I want to know what to expect as well, will you teach me?”

“In due time.” I moved to hoist her up as Betrayal quickly cupped her hand against my cheek, and in the moment she laid her hand down my heart fluttered with hesitation.
