who will you marry(part 74)
Dante p.o.v
He looked down at the Ashanti as she was laid down long ways on the bench by one of her guardians, while he walked across the garden after he stopped time because he doubted her guardian would be as trusting as she was. In the dim light from the moonlight that came off the bench he was heading towards, he could see how pale she was. Her lips were almost as pale as her cheeks, drained of color just like she’d been drained of energy. The magic had taken everything from her, every ounce of strength and then some. When he’d saw her, he’d felt the pain inside of her. He’d felt the intense pull on her energy and how she was beginning to falter. Kneeling beside Ashanti, he and looked at her. She hadn’t stirred since passing out after healing herself and it was starting to shake him up. His stomach twisted with worry, tying itself in knots and making him feel sick. He brushed the soft brown hair from her face, revealing just how pale she was when the moonlight from above illuminated it. Fear and a sense of desperation filled him he couldn’t lose her like this. He grabbed hold of her shoulders and shook her. “Ashanti? Ashanti!” He frowned when her head rolled forwards from the force of him shaking her. Carefully sitting her back up again, he cupped her cheek, his look becoming one of anxiousness. He smoothed her hair back into place again and tried to think of a way to awaken her. When an idea came to him, he turned her sideways on the bench, resting her shoulders and head against his right arm. He held her gently, cradling her to him and not taking his eyes away from her face. Grabbing a blade, he flinched as he drew the blade across his wrist.
This was going to work
Bringing it close to lips, he closed his fist squeezing until a drop of blood landed on her lips
A low growl escaped her lips as her teeth extended, her eyes flickered open for a brief moment showing red She sniffed. He swallowed and braced himself, knowing what she was going to do and willing her to do it. He wanted to feel it, wanted to bring her back to life even if it meant weakening himself in the process.
She grabbed his hand, bring it to her lips and tongue swiped over the wound on his wrist they were softly and gently tasting his flesh. He inhaled sharply when her teeth punctured his skin, sinking deep into him in a bite that told him how weak and desperate she was. He gathered her to him, making it easier on her to feed. When she gave a stronger pull on his blood, elation swept through him. His fingers curled tightly around her shoulder, holding her against him while she drank. Her actions stirred the fire inside of him that only she ever made, turning him desperate with need and desire, hungry with passion.
The feeling of being so close to her, so intimately connected, was divine. It told him everything he needed to know about her, reaffirming her affections for him and her need. He sighed and held her head against his chest, relishing how she was making him feel. In almost three centuries of life, he had never had someone need him as much as she did. He had never been with someone whom he wanted to protect more and be this close to him. In return, he’d never felt the need to be with someone as intensely as he did with her. Being apart from her was like losing a part of himself. He’d become so dependent on her. He’d hated her dependence on him when they’d first met, the way she’d looked to him, but now he recognized it as a sign of her affection for him, and he realized that on some level he’d acted the same way throughout their journey together. He needed her, that’s why he had to make her forget about what happened in the cemetery cause he could never forgive himself if she had shared the same fate as cayo. He wrapped his arms about her, lifting her off the bench and carrying her with him to another bench on the opposite side of the garden. He sat down with her, her backside resting on his thighs while he cradled her in his arms. His eyes scanned her face. It was peaceful with slumber but she twitched occasionally, her lips working wordlessly. His fingers brushed the stray hair from her face to get a better look at her, when her brown eyes fluttered open.
Ashanti p.o.v
Your eyes opened and you saw Dante, anger swelled inside you as you realized that he lied to you about working for Vince and who knows what else. Pushing away from him angrily you get to your feet saying what in the hell do u thinking ur doing here? Believe it or not I was trying to save ur life he smirked holding his hands up helplessly. As his eyes roamed down the dress you were wearing, narrowing yours eyes at him angrily, why didn’t you tell me you worked for Vince?
What are talking about? He tried play it off
don’t lie to me, I saw what you did to that noble you hiss in a dangerously low voice as your fingers clench into a fist
Please let me explain, dante says touching ur shoulder
Flinching away from him, you work for my enemy, yet u couldn’t bring urself to be honest with me
His dark eyes flickered hurt before going back to emotionless look of a cold assassin, as if he wanted to say somthing but was holding back. would you have accepted
If I had told you from the beginning? He retorts sharply
Well we never know now, because you never gave me a chance, you say coldly tears beginning to fall upon your cheeks. And your fingers and hands begin to tingle as the light inside you begins to die.
Ashanti please, I didn’t want it to be this way he says attempting to touch you, as he attempts to calm you down
Tell me, was anything you told me true? You whisper coldly as you clench your fist tighter and a dark rage that you’ve never felt before takes over your body and heart and someone laughs darkly in your head whispering you to kill, to make them pay for the sins and cleanse the world of everything and start anew.
His eyes become wide as he backs up a step, staring at your hand but makes no attempt to flee
You raise your right hand before ur face only to see what looks like a current of dark purple electricity, running up and down the length of your hands and fingers and feel the power welling up inside u. Smiling wickedly you narrow your eyes at him before pointing a finger at him and a electricity shoots from your finger towards him causing him to leap out of the way.
Leave, you hiss coldly
No, not till u listen Dante says firmly
I’ll no listen to no mores of your lies!!, you will leave, for the next time we met we will be enemies and I shall kill you.
Please don’t do this, he pleads
Leave!!!! You shout, and thunder claps loudly overhead and storm cloud begins to gather as if the weather is echoing your mood then u blink and he is gone
leaving u with the feeling of a intense sadness and hurt in ur heart.
Pushing your feelings away you become calm realizing that ur friends are still in danger, and you cant break now, you have to be strong for them. Ashanti, u okay? Anthony’s voice breaks the silence and u smile as the darkness of your new powers wash over you taking away some of the hurt, as you clear your mind preparing for the fight. Never felt better, lets go rescue our friends you say quickly. Here he says handing you a main handed medium length sword with a dragon etched into the blade, which was the same color as dawn’s scales , Shane was going to give it you in a ceremony at the party but im sure you can put it to better use right now. Grabbing the sword it hums with power drawing the dark power into itself and demanding more as the blade changed color becoming black as midnight. You fought for control, as the sword seem to have opened the flood gates to ur powers seem to have increased ten fold. Running inside you don’t even wait for Anthony, as you think to make them pay with their lives for daring to ruin your party, yet part of you wanted to fight to hurt the soldiers as he (Dante) had hurt you. Stepping into the castle, nearly everyone turns to look at you, as if they could feel the darkness surging in you. All the soldiers immediately began making their way towards you, they would learn to fear you, you think as you tightened your grip sword.Roaring at them you pause, as one of the soldiers leaps at you, only to have you slice him down the middle with a flick of your wrist as your blade cut through flesh and bone like butter. Attacking becomes a blur as cut a path through the soldiers and anyone stupid enough to get ur way, you wanted to feel the pain and hurt that you felt, they would pay for their defiance with their lives.
You felt the air drove out your lungs as you realize someone had knocked you to the floor, you try to get up but you cant as someone holds u still. Let me go!!!, I have to make the pay, they all must die u shout. They are all dead, please stop, for the love god, your killing your own people. Tears begin streaming down your face as you open your eyes looking up at Michael . Calming down you stop struggling dropping the sword as he pulls you up to a sitting position but still holding u close. For the first time you saw the destruction u caused, dead bodies and appendages are everywhere along with the smell of blood and u thought u would be sick. You looked at the people who are left, who were behind a protective barrier, looking into their eyes you saw fear, they were scared of you as they huddled together avoiding eye contact with u , It had gone so wrong you wanted to save not hurt people. All the emotions of everything that had happened tonight hit you all at once, you wanted to go home and hide, how could trust yourself anymore?.
