Chapter Fourteen

"Can you save her?" Johnny asked.

Libby St. Charles, a curvaceous redheaded witch, lovingly smoothed the hair from Kambriel's face. "She's so pretty."

“I’ve cast a glamour about us,” Verity Von Velde, a fellow witch with dark violet hair said. “We’re safe here, unseen by mortals.”

Johnny nodded, finding little reassurance when faced with what must come next. His body had been mangled, bones broken, and his skin was torn and bleeding, but he was close to healing one-hundred percent.

"We need her heart," Zoë with gentle assertiveness. "You know what you've been told, Johnny." She nodded to Verity, who handed him a black-bladed athame. "Do it quickly."

He took the blade, but couldn’t commit to a firm grip. He'd been told to cut out Kam's heart. It was the only way the witches could work the spell. They would put it back after they'd cleansed it of Himself's guile.

But who could survive having their heart ripped from their chest?

He let the blade fall out of his fingers to clatter on the cobblestones. Stepping over to Kam, he knelt beside her. Johnny shook his head. "I can't."

He could not murder the woman he loved. If anyone should have sacrificed their life this night, it should have been him.

Where was Summer?

“Johnny,” Zoë hissed.

He nodded.

Focus. This had to be done. Wherever his sister was right now, he’d find her soon enough.

Perhaps he could keep Kam as she was? Manage to love her even as she was under Himself's control? He could do that.

He shook his head. She could not live like that. She wanted freedom.

High heels clicking on the cobblestones, Verity stepped up behind him. She touched his shoulder. "So long as the heart remains intact she will survive. Only a strong man can do this. If you love her, give her freedom."

His heart clenched and he thought surely this was what it felt like to have a broken heart. And yet, Kam's heart was broken, and only he could provide the means to repair it.

Bowed over Kam’s body, he pressed his lips to hers. “I love you.” She was warm and smelled like cherries and chocolate. And sulfur. Brushing aside the hair from her shoulder revealed the butterfly tattoos. Vile gifts from Beneath.

Determined, he clenched his fists and glanced to the black blade lying on the cobblestones. If he used a weapon he risked cutting into her heart. He opened a fist and stiffened his fingers.

“Yes,” one of the witches behind him whispered.

The threesome knew all too well how to remove a vampire heart without killing the vamp. Wicked witches.

Decided, he must do this.

Shouting out a cry, a blend of horror, regret, and determination, Johnny thrust his fingers deep into his lover's chest until they slid along the thick, slippery heart. Curling his fingers, he cupped Kam’s heart. Closing his eyes, he gritted his teeth and yanked. The life-giving muscle pulled loose.

He looked over the black mass of blood and muscle. It wasn't red, as it should be. Tainted by Himself's wicked control. The arteries hung in snaking tubes and twined about Johnny's hand.
