My heart is pounding. I couldn’t believe Simone wasn’t there when I got back to her house. I sensed her here but never would have guessed the reason.

I take in the scene before me. Liam is staked to the tree Simone loves. He looks like he’s dying. She’s standing in front of him, her hands out in front of her in a protective stance; a light of energy flows around them. Her face loses all composure as Lucas rushes me and the light fades from around her.

“Don’t hurt him,” she cries out. Her broken tone kills me. Lucas’ hand grips my throat. I grab at his wrist with one hand and rain punches down on his face with the other. He’s stunned by my fighting back. Why, I don’t know. I’ve been around a long time. I’m Death’s son, I’m no pushover.

Lucas stumbles back and his men rush at me. I attack each one, connecting lethal blows. They each fall.

“Enough,” Lucas bellows. “I’m leaving. Come, Simone. I won’t tell you again. I will kill him.”

He raises his hand and I buckle as he closes his fist. My insides twist; the pain of knowing I’m helpless to stop him is unimaginable and a groan erupts from me.

“Please. Okay, okay, I’ll go where you want to go,” she screams. I try to call out to her, but Lucas grips his fist tighter. I can’t speak or even scream. I hear my heartbeat, like a drum, boom, boom, boom, crashing against my chest.

Simone steps toward him. I’m paralysed, the pain is crippling. The thought of her leaving with him literally paralyses me. With every step, my heart slows until it’s a slow thud. Boom… boom… boom… boom. She steps closer to him. Boom… boom… boom… She’s in front of him. Boom… boom… Her hand slips into his. Boom… She’s gone. Darkness closes in all around me.

My eyes flutter open to my father looking down on me.

“What happened?” I take in my surroundings. I’m in the field; Liam is still attached to the tree. Lucas is gone and so is…

“Simone,” I breathe as my chest constricts.

“I’m sorry. We’ll get her back. What happened to you? Have you ever passed out before?”

I shake my head no. I don’t sleep, therefore I have never passed out, but the pain of feeling helpless overwhelmed me. I rush to my feet, but feel dizzy from having my throat squeezed. That bastard Lucas. I call for Charmeine after I pull Liam down from the tree. He slumps into my arms.

“Simone,” he moans.

Charmeine appears with a flash of light. Leah runs out from beneath her wings, straight to me and Liam.

“Oh no, no, no. Liam, baby, stay with us. Have you called an ambulance?”

Charmeine taps Leah’s shoulder. “Let me, Leah. I can heal him,” she pleads.

Leah hurries out of the way. I watch a tear fall to Charmeine’s cheek as she cradles Liam. Light emanates around her, healing him.

“Thank you,” he whispers and he moves into a sitting position. “That fucking sucked.
