Arranged Marriage: Human Crusader Vampire Dissenter
Chapter Fourteen: Blood Relatives
(Btw I drew Alice with Allianna and Adrian in my journa^^ It's only a scribble but go a head and check it out if you guys are curious of how they look^^)
Gabriel shot off a knight head but the body still continued to move without it. He rolled his eyes and reloaded his shot gun. “Damn it!! HAVE YOU DEAD GUYS EVER HEARD OF REST IN PEACE!!!?!?” he yelled shooting the knight in the chest which had absolutely no effect. The knight swung its axe and he dodged and knocked the knight down with a shot gun.
Allianna couldn’t help but glare at him. She was after all dead as well since she was a full vampire.
Christian whacked another’s head off letting it fall lifelessly in the dirt. “That doesn’t really apply out here!!!” he said whacking another corpse.
----------------------------
Alice slowly opened her eyes and saw herself in a different environment. Instead of the glass tube she appeared to be in she was in a brass cage and her wrists were chained together. She wrapped her fingers around the bars as she looked out.
She looked out from between the bars seeing a dark figure in the cage beside her. “Hello?”
A woman with pale skin, and long black hair that reach her knees crawled out from the shadows of her cage she looked as if she was only 27. “Hello dear” she smiled kindly as her ruby eyes twinkled. “What brings you here?”
“I have no idea” Alice answered looking around her. “How long have you been here?”
“A long time, dear” she said then stared at Alice. She recognized the raven black hair and blood ruby eyes. Only one of the vampire royal families had it. “Y-You’re a Valoriette aren’t you?”
Alice nodded. “Alice Valoriette” she told her.
She smiled. “That’s nice to know sweetie, would you like me to read your future?” she asked reaching in her pocket and taking out a pack of tarot cards.
“You’re a fortune teller?” Alice smiled leaning closer to look.
She began to shuffle the cards. “Well, every vamp has a special power and mine is to foresee the future” she said and spread them out on the ground of her cage in a straight line. “Just choose one card” she said.
Alice nodded and picked one card from the cards, right before she could look at the card she was interrupted by a familiar voice.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!!?!?” a girl screamed at the woman. The girl was hooded so Alice could only see from the girl’s nose and down. The hooded girl opened Alice’s cage and kicked Alice in the stomach causing her to land on her back. “You worthless hag…” she hissed and stepped hard on Alice’s neck.
The woman in the other cage gasped then noticed the card that Alice dropped. She read it…The Death Card. She knew the death card meant of course death or a very hurtful experience will arrive in Alice’s life.
Oh dear this isn’t good…
Alice gasped for air and struggled to pull off her foot but her hands were in shackles. She finally succeeded and pulled the girl down on her back. Alice got up on top of the girl and began to choke her by her throat. “Who are-!?” Alice stopped recognizing those ruby eyes that were the same as her own. “Alicia…?” she said in disbelief.
Alicia gritted her teeth and kicked Alice in the stomach knocking her against the bars of the cage on the other side. “Well, well, well…” she chuckled getting up. “ Look at the family’s little princess, Alice…” she said looking down at her. “You make me sick…” Right when Alicia balled her fist she was interrupted.
“THAT’S ENOUGH!” a voice yelled that echoed through the large room.
Alicia pouted looking back at the door. “Mother, please I was just going to knock her out”
A-Alicia’s mother!?! No it couldn’t be…
Alice’s vision was blurred from the impact. She was so much weaker than Alicia now. One, she barely drinks blood. Two, Alicia wasn’t chained down. Three, Alicia was wearing heels and YES this makes a huge difference when you’re the one getting kicked with it!!! XD
Alice knew the woman was walking closer since she could the clicking of her stiletto heels as it hit the marble floor. The tall slim woman was wearing a curve wrapping dress that draped out once it met her knees. Her skin was pale and her black hair was cut sharply above her shoulders. She had a ruby amulet with small key hanging beside it. Her blood red lips curled into a grin as she woman leaned down. “Hello dear Alice, how’s your mum doing?” she said trying to hold in her chuckles but ended up letting out a loud cackle in the end anyway.
“Good one mother!” Alicia cackled.
“Sylvia…You bloody whore…” Alice cursed weakly.
So Sylvia was pulling the strings all this time…
Sylvia chuckled. “Ah so you still do remember me” she grinned standing up straight and crossing her arms over her chest. “But I mean how could you forget…?” she said starting to look down at her gold painted nails. “After all…We were best friends before right?”
Alice gritted her teeth and suddenly lunged herself at Sylvia with all the strength she could get from her current condition. Alice bared her fangs down at her and hissed threateningly.
Sylvia screamed in horror. “AAAAAAHH!! GET THIS BITCH OFF ME!!!” she screamed at Alicia.
Alice bit deep into Sylvia’s neck tasting her blood. It tasted so different compared to Christian’s, it didn’t have that sweet tinge to it…All it had was bitterness…
Alicia grabbed Alice by the collar and threw her back in the cage. “You freak!!!” she said slamming the cage door. She went to her mother and helped her up.
Sylvia panted applying pressure on the deep wound in her neck. “You bitch!!” she hissed. “WHEN THE TIME COMES ALICIA WILL KILL YOU! AND WE’LL ALL BE RELIEVED TO LOSE THE DIGUSTING HYBRID!!” She said as Alicia helped her to the door. “Even you’re father wants you gone!!”
Alice glared at her not believing her.
No…Impossible…Father would never say that…
“I hope you have a heart, Sylvia…” Alice said wiping the blood from her mouth.
Sylvia and Alicia stopped and looked back at her curiously.
“Cause’ one day I’m gonna stab a sword right through your fake boobs just to get to it” Alice smirked.
Sylvia glared at her then looked down at her cleavage then looked back at Alice as she was offended. “One, these happen to be real” she said referring to her cleavage. “And two…I’d like to see you try as you’re locked in there, Hybrids can’t bend metal this strong” she smirked as they left through the door.
“Not for long…” Alice grinned.
The lady in the other cage stared at the card then looked back at Alice with worry written all over her face. “Are you ok dear?” she asked.
Alice got on her knees and lowered her head. She coughed out Sylvia’s blood and let a necklace slide off her tongue. She panted and showed the woman in the next cage the ruby necklace. “I bit this off her neck and look” she sack holding up the key pendant next to the ruby. “We’re getting out of here”
------------------------
Christian beat the shit out of the last suit of armor with his shot gun. “This is taking longer than I thought” Christian sighed; wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Gabriel kicked the front doors open alarms rang all over the house for a few moments.
------------------------
“Mother they’ve made it into the house” Alicia said looking up at the red blinking light hanging up on the wall. They were in the tall tower with Lillith “What do we do?” she asked Sylvia.
Sylvia wagged a finger in front of Alicia. “Don’t worry; those children won’t make it far into the house anyway” she smiled. She turned to Lillith. “Lillith push the button” she ordered.
Lillith nodded sadly and pushed the huge red button on the wall…
-------------------------
Christian sighed as the alarms went on. “And this is what happens when you go through the front door” he chuckled.
Allianna hit Gabriel in the head. “You moron you set all the alarms on!” she growled at him.
“Fine! I’m sorry! I’m Sorry!!!!” he cried as she hit him.
“Stop fighting, I think they’re upstairs” he said leading them upstairs. Christian looked around down both hallways once he made it at the top with Gabriel.
Allianna was still walking up the stairs with Adrian in her arms. “Hey do you see-!?” Suddenly the stairs below her flattened making it slippery and steep. She screamed when she fell on her back and started to slide down. A hole opened in the floor at the end of the stairs just waiting to capture them.
Gabriel looked back and at the last second he jumped and grabbed Allianna’s ankle. “Allianna!” He stopped himself from sliding when he hooked his gun behind a bar in the stair railing.
Adrian slipped out of her hands and slid down into the hole with a clueless look on his face. “ADRIAN!!!” She cried after him but she couldn’t grab him in time. Christian pulled them up from the top of the stairs but struggled since Allianna kept on trying to get out of their grip, the hole at the end of the stairs closed swallowing Adrian into the darkness. Spikes shot up at the bottom of the stair and more shot up traveling up the stairs making it impossible to go back down.
Christian was finally able to pull them up to safety. Gabriel grabbed her arm roughly forcing her to looked at her. “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?” he yelled at her but Allianna just frowned and looked away. “WE COULD’VE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! STOP BEING SO-”
Christian hit Gabriel in the head. “Gab, that’s enough!!” he yelled angrily at him and pointed at Allianna.
Gabriel looked back at Allianna and his glare softened into a face full of guilt. He watched as a tear fell down her cheek. “H-Hey, I…”
“I’m sorry…” Allianna sobbed softly. She took off her glasses and wiped the tears away. “I was being selfish…” she said and kept on walking down a hallway. “Let’s get going…”
Gabriel felt a spoon stab into his heart from all the guilt. Christian sighed and hit him in the head. “You’re so insensitive, think before you talk” he said handing him a red handkerchief and walking ahead.
Gabriel’s head fell as he wipes the sweat of his forehead and put it in the back pocket of his pants.
I didn’t mean to hurt her…
-------------------------
Alice poked her head out behind a wall in the hallway making sure there was no one in the hallway patrolling. She was surprised to see no one, no guards or anything. “Wow, the coast’s clear…” she said walking out in the hallway.
“Do you know the way out?” the lady asked her.
Alice shook her head. “We’re not trying to get out yet” she whispered taking a turn. “We need to find that room where the other creatures are and set them free” she said running to a door that was open. She peeked inside and saw that Honey was there admiring his latest addition.
There was a mermaid inside one of the glass tubes. She was beautiful, her long wavy blue hair floated at one with the water and her gold eyes shimmered. Her tail was long and its scales would change from blue to purple when the light hit it. She glared at him intensely not liking the fact that she was being held captive.
“Oh don’t look at me like that, you don’t look as beautiful” Honey said waving his black feathery fan at her. “You’ll definitely be sold for a very high price” he chuckled and his boa hissed pleasantly as well.
Alice frowned listening in to the conversation.
Sold…? To who and what for!?
“Well I’ll be going my collectables” he chuckled walking towards the door.
Oliver let a low growl escape his lips as Honey left. “That man’s gonna put us all on the market in no time…” he sighed. “Let’s all pray God will give us a miracle…”
Suddenly a hole appeared above Oliver’s tube and Adrian fell right into his arms. Oliver and Adrian stared at each other cluelessly for a few moments and Oliver let him down on the floor. “Hey where did you come from?” he asked him as his fluffy brown tail wagged behind him. Adrian stared at his tail ignoring Oliver. Oliver smiled. “You like my tail?” he said and Adrian crawled closer and began stroking the soft fur. Oliver chuckled amused. Suddenly Adrian gripped it tightly and bit into it deeply.
A deep shudder traveled through out his body. “FOR THE LOVE OF-!!!!
-----------------------------
The trio was walking in the hallways seeing that slowly the doors began to lessen until there were doors left. Allianna stopped and sighed. “We’ve been walking for hours we’re not getting anywhere!” she said completely frustrated. “I don’t smell Adrian anywhere near either” Allianna sighed.
Christian stopped in his steps and raised his hand gesturing everyone to stop and be quiet. “Did you hear that?” he asked them in a quiet whisper.
Allianna listened for a moment before her ear twitched and she nodded. “It sounds like…Hooves?” she said looking back down the hallway. “Is there a horse running loose…?” she guessed. Gabriel just shrugged since he didn’t have any in-human abilities.
Christian’s eyes widened as he stared at the floor. It was shaking… He raised his head and looked down the hallway seeing that the floor boards down the hall were shaking too.
Oh shit…That’s no horse…
“U-Uh Gabriel?” he said stepping back.
Gabriel looked back at him. “What?”
“I think we should start running!!” he said making a run for it down the hall with Allianna.
Gabriel looked ahead seeing that there was nothing to run from. “What are you guys talking about? There’s noth-” his eyes widened when a huge red bull appeared out from the corner. Its hooves were blazing with flames and left tracks of flames where ever it stepped. Smoke was blown out of its nose as it hit its hooves against the floor board and pointed it sharp horns, getting ready to charge.
“Oh shit…” he said and slowly stepped back. “Be a good boy and don’t attack me you ferocious monster…” he said softly trying not to provoke it. Gabriel quickly turned around and ran down the hall Christian and Allianna did. “OH SHIT!!!!!!” he screamed.
------------------------
Alice rushed and pushed her companion into another room beside the laboratory before Honey could catch them.
He walked out humming cheerfully and took a sharp turn down the hallway probably heading for the tower.
Once they heard he left they tip-toed into the Laboratory. Everyone’s heads rose as they entered.
Alice heard someone cursing and saw it was Oliver. “Oliver what’s wrong?” she asked and saw that Adrian was biting him.
Everyone in the laboratory was laughing. “Seems like the newcomer really likes Oliver!” one banshee cackled.
“GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!!!!” he screamed in pain and waved his arms around frantically and wagged his tail trying to make Adrian fall off but he bit down even harder.
ANY LONGER AND MY TAIL’S GONNA COME OFF!!!!
Alice’s eyes widened. “Adrian!?!!” she pushed the blue button at the bottom of Oliver’s tube and a metal claw raised the glass high enough for Oliver to run out screaming like a girl.
“GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!” he pleaded in girly squeals as he ran in circles like a moron.
Alice sighed. “Oliver stop!” she said grabbing his shoulder to make him stop, he was really sobbing.
“It hurts~!” he whined like a child who tripped.
Alice pulled Adrian off and Adrian giggled wrapping his arms around Alice happily. “Alice!” he said in a cute baby voice.
Alice stroked his head and looked at Oliver he was sitting on the floor sobbing and hugging his damaged tail like a child. “HOW DID YOU TAME THAT DEMON SO EASILY?!?!!?” he said in horror.
Alice chuckled, sitting beside him and pushing a red button on the wall releasing everyone in the room. “He’s my younger half brother” she explained. “Is your tail okay?”
He glared at her. “DOES IT LOOK OK!?!?!”
Alice turned when she heard something barking. “P-Poochie!!?!?” she said in disbelief seeing a huge cage containing her wolf. (Refer to chapter 1 XD) “They captured you too!?” she said opening the cage and letting out the black wolf. It licked her face happily she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Oh I missed you, you’ve grown so big!” she smiled patting his head.
Oliver shuddered. “THAT’S YOUR DOG!?!!?”
--------------------------
Allianna and Christian were sitting on the floor of a hallway huffing from all the running they did. “Hey, do you think *pant* Gabriel died?” she panted looking down both hallways seeing no sign of him.
Christian nodded. “Yeah I think he’s dead” he panted not caring that they’re wondering if his best friend is dead. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we found his dead body later on…
“HELP ME!!!!” Gabriel screamed running down the hallway they were in with the bull behind him.
Christian and Allianna flinched readying themselves for the pain they would receive from the bull but it ignored them and chased after Gabriel. Allianna and Christian exchanged glances and both shrugged. “Why do you think it ignored us?” Allianna asked.
Christian eyes Gabriel analyzing him and saw something he gave him earlier that definitely caused Gabriel to be the only one being chased by the bull… “Oh shit…” he cursed realizing what he’d done.
Allianna looked at him with a puzzled face. “What?”
“I gave him a read handkerchief earlier…And he put it in the back pocket of his pants…” he told her in horror knowing that if Gabriel really dies it’s because of him.
Oh well as long as I don’t die…I know Gab’s strong, he can do this…
-----------------------
Gabriel ran through the halls, his legs beginning to fail him. He was exhausted and had been running around for half an hour now. “CHRISTIAN YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!” he yelled as he ran for his life not noticing the red handkerchief tailing behind him.
I HELPED YOU AT THE NEW YEARS PARTY AND YOU JUST LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!?!?! OH YEAH YOU’RE A REAL FRIEND!!
The red bull finally caught up with him and carried Gabriel on it horns one leg hooking on each. He screamed like a girl as the bull still carried him down the hallways.
----------------------
Alice was walking beside Oliver and with the others behind her in the hallways looking for a way out. Around the corner Christian appeared with Allianna. Alice’s eyes widened as hers met his.
Christian froze for a moment then wrapped his arms around her tightly. “Alice…” he said holding her tight. He smelled her hair missing that precious rose scent.
Alice buried her face in his chest returning his hug. “I missed you…” she cried in his chest.
Christian held her tighter. “It’s ok, I’m not leaving you anymore” he said letting go and holding her hand.
Allianna’s eyes filled with tears. “Adrian!” she said and the boy climbed out of a banshee’s arms and into Allianna’s arms. She hugged him lovingly.
Gabriel was being carried on the horns of the bull as the bull ran down the hallway behind them, and of course he was screaming like a girl.
By the time everyone turned he was already gone.
Alice frowned. “Was that…Gabriel?” she asked Christian recognizing that scream from the new years party.
Christian nodded “Probably” then he noticed a lady that looked 27 who was beside Alice. “Is she your relative?” he asked Alice seeing how they both had ruby eyes and raven hair.
The woman stared at him. “Are you Christopher?” she asked him desperately.
Christian shook his head. “I’m his son Christian” he answered.
Her eyes widened and he was caught by surprise when she lunged at him wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, choking him. “My son!” she cried happily. “You’ve grown so handsome…” she sighed.
“M-MOTHER!?!?!” Christian managed to say.
Everyone gasped from shock including the mystical creatures that didn’t know what was happening and just followed the others.
CHRISTIAN’S MOTHER!?!!?!?
“Y-You’re Mary Claire Valoriette!?!?!” Alice said in disbelief.
HOW COME SHE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING!?!?!
“B-But they said you were dead!!!” Allianna told her.
“Yes but that was a lie…” a voice chuckled. Everyone turned to see Sylvia, Alicia, Honey and Lillith on the other side of the hall.
“Alicia!?!?” Allianna said in disbelief. “What are you doing!? You helped them take Alice!?”
Alicia grinned. “Yes I told them where she was”
“Why!??!” Alice asked surprised that her own twin turned her in.
“Because we’re Twins Alice!!” she yelled angrily at her. “Twins always get compared to each other and I always got the negative comments!”
Alice frowned not understanding. “B-But…Everyone always said you were more feminine, and kinder to them when I was rude…” she said. “Even father said he only wanted you!” she remembered when her father first told Christian about Alicia.
“But he never considered me in family meetings!” she cried. “You were always there with Allianna! And do you know WHY!?! It was because he wanted you to become the head of the family after Allianna and not me!!!” she said as Alice saw the tears fall fro her eyes. “He never considered me as a candidate and only saw you…It’s not fair…” she said and Sylvia comforted her.
Alice stared at her feeling the guilt. She never realized that Alicia would ever be jealous of her since she was more feminine and kind when other vampires were around. “I-I never noticed…” she said as she looked down at the floor.
I never knew I was that selfish…
That I wouldn’t see my own sister’s feelings…
Claire looked at Honaey and Lillith. “You traitors! You’re a disgrace to the council!” she said letting go of Christian.
Honey fanned himself and his trusty boa hissed at her. “They made a mistake when they removed me and Lillith from the council…” he scoffed flipping his long silver hair back.
Alice’s eyes widened. “Y-You’re not part of the council!!?”
“Not anymore…” Lillith sighed.
“Yes, that’s because of your bloody parents” Honey sighed referring to Alice and Christian’s parents. “We’ll just kill off the last wife then…” he said taking out a bottle of holy water.
Christian pulled his mother behind him. “Don’t you dare touch my mother” he growled at him.
Honey shrugged. “Then you can both die then…” he grinned popping off the cap before he could wet them Lillith grabbed his wrist.
“He doesn’t need to die” Lillith told him sternly.
He glared down at her. “Let go of me…” he said as his ruby eyes had a tinge of gold to them.
“No, he’s my nephew you said you wouldn’t kill him”
“Well times have changed…” he said and shoved her to the side. Alicia took out a dagger from her side and was about to stab her…
“Step away from my friend’s aunt, you witch!” a voice yelled.
Everyone turned to see Gabriel on the back of the red bull. “GABRIEL!?!?!” Christian said in disbelief.
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HIM!!!
Allianna smirked impressed. “So, he is still alive you’re pretty strong for a human” she commented making Gabriel blush slightly.
Alicia stared at him strangely. “What on Earth…?”
“Hey guys watch this!” he whispered excitedly, taking out the red handkerchief from his back pocket. “Toro!!!” he yelled waving the red handkerchief in the bull’s face. It ran down the hall as everyone jumped out of the way and chased Sylvia and the others.
Sylvia screamed and they all ran up the BILLIONS stairs in the tower to get to the top, and everyone else followed…
-2 Hours Later-
Sylvia and her allies finally made it up to the top panting and on their knees despite that they were vampires they still have their limits. XD
Sylvia crawled to the wall and pulled the switch. Suddenly the stairs flattened and everyone slid including the bull. Everyone screamed as the bull was sliding towards them and they all scrambled to their feet and began running down stairs.
OH SHIT!!!!
Alice spread her wings and grabbed Christian’s hand and began to fly to the top.
“Why didn’t you do that 2 hours ago!?!?!” he asked her panting from exhaustion.
“Just shut up!!!” she growled at him, she forgot she even had wings.
Sylvia and the other cackled from their victory as they sat on the wooden boards from exhaustion. They all gasped when they saw Alice fly up carrying Christian below her. She swung Christian and he kicked Honey in the face.
Honey fell back dramatically whining about his broken nose. “I JUST GOT A NOSE JOB YOU BASTARD!!!!” he screamed and threw his boa at Christian.
Christian scrambled to his feet but the boa wrapped around his neck tightly choking him. Alice landed on her feet but before she could help him Alicia hit her with a plank of wood in the back of her head. Alice fell on her hand and turned to kick Alicia in the face.
Sylvia grabbed Alice from behind choking Alice. “ALICIA!!! FINISH HER OFF!!!” she ordered Alicia got out a dagger but Lillith appeared above the stair banister and tackled Alicia to the floor.
Alice gasped for air and kicked her leg up in a 180 degree angle kicking Sylvia in the face and knocking her back. Alice turned taking her stance. “What now, bitch?” she grinned. “How did you get up here?” she asked Lillith.
Lillith was strangling Alicia. “I always have grappling hooks with me” she grinned, choking Alicia.
Honey took out a sword and pointed it at Christian. “My, my…” he chuckled. “Your time ends here!” he yelled before he plunged Salvador swung in shattering the huge glass window on top of the tower and kicking Honey to the other side of the tower.
Salvador landed beside Christian and cut the boa apart with a dagger allowing Christian to breathe. He gasped for air. “Salvador, you’re here! FINALLY!” he said breathing heavily and Salvador pulled him up.
In came Christopher right afterwards. “Christian you’re alright…” he sighed in relief hugging his son.
“Father!” Christian said surprised. “M-Mother she’s alive!” Christian told him.
Christopher let go of him and stared him in the eyes. “S-She’s alive?” he repeated in disbelief.
Alice screamed when Alicia grabbed a bundle of her hair and pulling her head back. And dragging her to the edge towards the hole in the middle of the tower where the dumb-waiter (Old elevator) was and where the stairs spiraled up from.
“Alice!!!!” Christian called running after her.
Alicia’s eyes widened and she pushed Alice off. Alice screamed as she fell she grabbed onto the edge of the dumb-waiter and dangled for her life. She tried to spread her wings but for some reason she couldn’t she was too scared. “Christian!!!!” she screamed.
Lillith grabbed the rope of the dumb-waiter and began to pull as hard as she could, trying to pull it nearer to the stairs.
Sylvia hissed at her and pinned her against the wall. “THAT DEMON MUST DIE!!!” she hissed.
Lillith struggled to get out of Sylvia’s grip. “Christian!!! The rope!!!” she yelled.
The rope was loose and old and was slowly giving it. The dumb-waiter suddenly dropped an inch and the rope was snapping. “Christian!!! Hurry YOU IDIOT!!” she screamed looking down the billion steps.
Christian grabbed the rope and began to pull. Sylvia tried to stop him but Lillith held her back. Alicia pushed him and he fell of and onto the dumb-waiter making it drop two inches and the ropes began to unwind. He grabbed Alice’s hand and began to pull her up.
“Christian!!!!” he heard his mother scream from below when she was watching.
Christian panted and looked at the ropes as it began to snap one by one then he looked back at Alice seeing the fear in her eyes as she cried. “Alice, I’m going to swing you onto those stairs ok?” he told her beginning to swing her.
Alice held onto his hand tighter. “You asshole, I’m not leaving you!” she glared at him.
Christian swung her harder. “We have to or else we’re both gonna die!!”
She smiled softly and held onto his wrist. “I rather die with you then watch you die alone…”
“I love you…” Christian cried and closed his eyes tightly. Her eyes widened when he swung her and her back hit the wall of the tower and she fell on the stairs she looked up back at Christian seeing that soft smiled on his face.
“CHRISTIAN!!!!” she called and the dumb-waiter rope snapped…
