A Shadow's Light

By my side, you'll stay forever

Sting's P.O.V

I'll save you. I'm supposed to save you. I'm your knight in shining armour, right? I want to save you. But I can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.

" Is that what you think? "

A voice spoke softly yet firmly but had a second voice as if two people were speaking in perfect sync. Before the thought of hallucination could take it's place, the voice spoke again.

" For the son of a dragon and the holder of ancient power, you're quite the boy to contradict yourself. "

Taunting. It was taunting me. Clenching my teeth as my fists tightened and muscles strained, I ground out my words irritably.
" Show yourself. Don't hide, coward. "

Shadows around me sifted and waved but did not take any sudden movements.

" Hide within the shadows of darkness that's the assassins deadliest weapon. "

Enough was enough. Nostalgia built up inside of me as I grounded out my next words of warning, my body warming up with a heated glow. " This is your final chance. "

" Actually it's yours. "

Without a chance to retaliate, my body was thrown to the ground like a rag doll, groaning as the pain suffocated my body.

A hand clutched my shoulder and spun me around onto my back, forcing me to look up at my assailant.

My breath caught in my throat at the figures focusing view, memories flooding back to me as the shadows held me down, feeling him straddle my hips.

Impossible, he's supposed to be..

"Dead?"

My eyes couldn't tear away from the towering body, his sleek black hair longer now, tied with a hair tie as it hung on his shoulder.

His red eyes burned crimson, swirling of cold fury that danced to fight with..

L-Lust?!

My breath hitched in my throat as the realisation mocked me, feeling my body shudder beneath his as he leaned over.

" I vanished with the shadows seconds before the knife was able to even touch my heart. I couldn't possibly leave this world without you. I couldn't just leave the one whom stayed by my side even through my betrayal, even then he helped me through everything I could possibly imagine and I thought; Am I really in the position to leave my saviour? My friend? Or lover? "

I blushed furiously at his confession, stuttering helplessly in reply until I was silenced by his lips, immediately wrapping my arms around his now muscular body and clutching the back of his shirt.

I melted against him freely, tearing up quietly as the tears dropped over my cheeks, my body burning excited with compassion and happiness of his safe return.

Before I knew it, my heart was beating harshly against my chest, pressing my lips against his dominantly when I heard a growl, I pulled back in surprise to see his eyes glowing a dangerous red.

" R-Rogue..? What's wro--mmph "

I was silenced again by his lips as his shadows held be down by my wrists and ankles, finally getting a breath as he whispered in a dark, husky tone.
" I am the dominant now, you belong to me. You are mine, no one else. I rule the shadows now, I am their master, just as I am yours. "

I whined gently as he proclaimed dominance, wanting to fight back as his lips kissed over my neck before grazing his teeth over a sensitive area, gasping in surprise as a moan emitted itself.

" Someone is enjoying themself. "

He chuckled darkly, nibbling over my neck as I whimpered in reply, combing my hand through his hair as I suddenly felt his teeth pierce my skin.

I screamed out, a mix of pleasure and pain shot through my body that made me jerk without consent, feeling heat burn over the side of my neck and to my shoulder, over my collarbone.

Managing to sneak a glance, a red tribal mark formed over the heated area, as I glanced back at Rogue in surprise.

" H-How did you--? "

" I have marked you, you're mine now." He assured me softly, cuddling me against him as the pain drifted away, snuggling against him as my eyes slowly closed.

I felt him smile against me, hearing him chuckle with a heartfelt passion on his voice, making me him satisfactorily.

As I slowly drifted off to sleep, I felt him move as he stood up, carrying my body bridal style as he made his way to who knows where.

But I didn't care, I was happy, with him, with the love of my life, everything is okay.

My life is complete.

I'll forever stay by your side, Rogue.
