.I could make you forsake your beloved because you desire this body to touch yours.”My hands slowly landed on his chest and began to feel up to his shoulders, and I held him close to me.I didn’t want to kiss him and rip all of his clothes off, but there was a deep desire in me to do exactly that.I felt like my skin was burning to touch his.It wasn’t long before my lips were mere centimeters from his.“No!” I managed to tear myself away.The feeling was still there, but I couldn’t fall and fail Julian.His life depended on it! “I can resist you.I have the power.”He slightly glared, but then smirked.“Enough to survive, but not enough to win.”I felt my stomach collapsing in on itself, and I doubled over in pain.I raised my head to see what he was doing, but the only motion he had made was clenching his fist.“Julian?” A stream of blood flooded out of my mouth and onto the floor.I knew that I needed to be brave, but I was sure that he was killing me.“Julian, you’re still in there.I know you are.Fight him!”He tilted his head intrigued.“What makes you think that Julian isn’t aware of everything that I’m doing? How do you know he isn’t enjoying this kind of power?”He clenched his fingers tighter, and I screamed and fell to my knees.It felt like my insides were burning.“He would never do this to me!”“Greed is powerful, Michelle.Look at Maria.”She had already begun injecting the red serum into her veins.She was trembling from her fear as she waited for it to take effect.I hoped there was some kind of mistake or that she would have a miracle.I couldn’t watch her die knowing what it would do to Julian.“She used to be an innocent little girl who loved her brother more than anything in the world.Now she’s a selfish young woman who put a cluster of demons inside of him and is now killing herself so she can bend a spoon with her mind.” He shook his head and chuckled.She was ridiculous, and he wasn’t going to bother to pretend otherwise.“If that can happen to her, imagine all of the horrible things Julian can do.Hell, think of all the things that he’s already done.”He released his hand and the burning clawing came to an end, but I was still shaken.One wrong word and he would destroy me.But why should I have feared death? I already lost my life.I didn’t have anything else to lose.“I will stop you!”I scanned the room and found Julian’s gun again.Julian might have had more weapons hidden on him, but I would have never been able to get to them before Balthazar snapped my neck.The gun was my only option.Balthazar could easily stop me, and Scott had proven to be supernaturally fast and powerful, but I had to go for it! As soon as I could muster up enough strength, I ran and dove for the gun.Scott moved to stop me, but I had an action movie moment, and as soon as I picked up the gun, I rolled over and then took aim at Julian’s heart.Scott might have been transformed into a supernatural creature, but Julian was still human.He feared what I could do to his master, and he was paralyzed in his position.Amazingly, Balthazar never broke a sweat.He never appeared concerned.He just smirked and looked at me questionably.“You would kill the man you love?”“If it came to that…” I heard the gun rattling and realized that my hands were shaking.Balthazar snickered and began making another step toward me, but I forced myself to be still and then he remained where he was.“Julian asked me to keep a promise.I won’t have to though.He’s coming back to me.”“And how is he gonna do that?” He flung his hand across the room, and my body followed and hit the wall.I screamed out in pain from my back, but I refused to let go of the gun, even when I landed hard on my ribs.If I would have had the time, I would have laid there and cried, but Balthazar and Scott were coming at me.I sat up and tried to scoot away, but there was nowhere for me to go.I panicked and pointed the gun at Julian’s body.I think Balthazar wanted me to do it.He was smirking at me and daring me with his eyes.“You had better act now,” he taunted.My fingers gripped tighter and I closed my eyes afraid.When it sounded off, I screamed.I kept trying to fire, but the gun only clicked and didn’t fire.After nothing happened five times, I accepted that there were no more bullets and hesitantly opened up my eyes.There was a bullet hole in Scott’s abdomen, but he was more annoyed than hurt.“One bullet left, and you wasted it?” Balthazar asked.I swear a little bit of Julian came through to scold me.Scott wiped the blood away, and the wound closed like magic.“Can I kill her?” he asked his master.He had no hesitation.“Sure.Go ahead.”Scott had that same creepy smirk that was much too big for his face, and I forgot how to run.There was nowhere to go anyway.I had to face my death or somehow find the strength to kill them [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
