came at me with a knife, 'Heads up mother.' I
looked up just in time to catch the blade Donovan flung my way and in one
unbroken movement I caught, turned and plunged it right into her heart.
The
most horrible earsplitting rend the air as her life force let her. I saw the
dark curl of smoke as it left her body and descended into the earth as she
dropped to the ground.
It
was over and suddenly I got the shakes, before my knees could buckle beneath me
Donovan was there to catch me.
"I've
got you love."
He kept running with me in his
arms, his personal Garda forming a protective line on either side of us while
the rest of his army carried on in battle. When we reached his horse which had
to be the biggest horse I'd ever seen in my life, he set me down in the saddle
and climbed on behind me wrapping me securely in his arms.
My
heart was thundering away with the horse's hooves as he raced towards home; it
seemed strange to be reacting so strongly after the fighting was all said and
done.
When
we reached the castle he took us straight to his room and into what looked like
a closet. With his eyes I heard the soft chime of his cadence as he spoke with
his mind, then suddenly placing his hand against the marble wall I felt that
same surge I'd felt only days before when we'd travelled here.
Within
minutes we were back in the garden outside his home back on earth and I could
breathe again. It felt as though we were in constant motion as he entered the
cool marble walls of home holding me clutched safely against his chest. My
breathing calmed, the children settled and I fell into darkness.
Chapter Twenty
I've never been so fucking scared
in my life, in fact I've never known fear before, it's almost foreign to me,
but seeing her in battle, I don't ever want to go through anything like that
again.
"Father."
"Not
now Nicola, I'm very displeased with you right now, you had no right."
"But
father, mother needed...."
"SILENCE,
do not speak to me of what my wife needs, you will do well to remember that
though you may be the future empress, I am not only your father, but the ruler
of our people, that means I rule over you as well you have much to learn, your
headstrong ways could've harmed your mother."
She wept at my harsh words; I felt
the tear in my heart for making one so young feel such sorrow but she had to
learn to temper her actions. I will never accept anyone no matter who it may
be, putting Tamara in danger. I accept that I am most angry with myself, I
should never have taken her to the battlefield no matter what. She is and will
always be the most important part of my life. Had she died my people would've
been without their leading family for I swear I would've followed her into the
grave rather than live without her.
Look
at her, she's lying here so still, so lifeless, all because I had taken her
into hell.
"Mother wake up, father is
going mad."
I
heard my son speak to me as if from afar and in the back ground a sad
lamentation, but what made my heart race with renewed fear was the feeling I
picked up from my mate. Total despair and heartache, I tried to climb out of
the darkness to reach him but the lethargy was too strong, I couldn't make myself
awaken.
'Donovan.'
I screamed in my head trying to draw him out of the place he'd gone to but he
seemed too caught up in his own misery. What had happened? I searched my memory
for the recollection; had I been injured? I searched my body for the pain but
there was none. None but the pain in my heart at the sorrow in his.

What the hell is wrong with you freaks?
ME
You can hear me?"

Um yeah, and what the heck is the hold up, I thought we
were supposed to be having hot warrior monkey sex with steel and swords and
sweat and
shit, what's this fainting shit you done scared the poor man half to death?
ME
I can't wake up and I can't reach him.
