CHAPTER SIX

Helen

I try to calm myself and put up a presentable front but it isn't working. His glance is piercing, those red eyes shining in the shadows of the still morning. The curtains blow over his battle armor, all of the scars and chips from battle hidden under the blue light of dawn, at this angle he looked like a knight, my knight.

That was why it tore my heart out when he kept on refusing my pleas.

"Please don't take me back to him! Please!" I said.

"Do you know what will happen if I don't? I'll have him and Kaiso on my ass human!" he barked.

"I know you care at least somewhat, I can see it under that rugged exterior. Under those rough eyes, you feel something for me, your mate. I'm your mate so start treating me like one!" I shouted and he slammed his fist onto the room's desk.

"You are not!" he snarled.

"Your eyes say otherwise." I said.

"I don't have a choice, I will not relegate us both to death, I will not." he said.

"You don't' know that. I don't know that. At least try. You're one of the best warriors anyone has ever seen. You were able to break into one of the most heavily guarded prisons in this city and get me out with a great deal of success so just...believe in yourself. I know that life has treated you badly, I know that it has battered you and shown you the dark but you have to learn to hope again. Please.....if not for me then for that voice in the back of your head. Do it for you. I know you hate working for these men so strike up a deal with the crime boss, whatever her name is. Just don't give me up!" I cried.

He takes a moment to glance me over, his eyes flicker in the darkness and he bared his fangs. His grey lips smack together and he rubs his black hair, sighing while he walked over to the other bed and sat down. He bites his lower lip and looked over at me, shaking his head before turning away.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked him.

"Rest, we'll be leaving soon." he said to me and I wanted to slap him, to tell him that he couldn't do this to me, that I had a right to live. But perhaps what Kagi had said was right he didn't see things the same way. In his mind, there was no hope, no point in fighting the greater powers because they would inevitably beat you.

"The universe is more rigid than you think girl. There's an order that I can't even defy, none of us can break it, we're all meant to have a spot and to break it would mean pain....sorrow. I don't know what it's like back on Earth but from the way you speak it sounds like you don't believe in order, you think that you might actually have an effect on this world but not up here.
