His to Save

Chapter Seventeen - a new weapon?

I felt my heart snap as I held Damien close in my arms and the whole world went dark,

Fury coursed out of me as I held out my hand and pulled the wolf towards me with my powers, my magic wrapping around his neck as he wriggled in the air.

"What is this? What have you done to him" I hissed as the wolf's eyes widened in fear, but he kept his lips glued together,

Damien gasped in my arms as I felt my heart hurt more as I clenched my fist harder, cutting off his airway, "Tell. Me. Now" I growled as I ran my hand over Damien's chest, trying to stop the bleeding,

He gasped for air as I clenched tighter and the man clawed at his throat,

I loosed my grip as he looked at me and gasped, "We found a tree that sprouted from the resting place of the last dragon. It's the one thing that can seriously hurt or potentially original vampires, or wipe you of your powers completely" he said as my heart stopped and I cursed throwing him away as his body cracked against a tree.

I gently lay Damien's head on the floor as his breathing came out in short, small laboured breaths as I turned to look at him, my eyes glowing as I held my hands out.

"Lillian. Stop. There's nothing you can do, don't waste your energy. There could be more coming" he groaned pushing me away as I shook my head, a small tear running down my face,

"No stop, shut up. It will be fine." I said as I wrapped my hands around the stake, "It didn't pierce your heart, I can heal you from this, You are going to be fine now shut up" I growled as my tears continued to drip down onto his face,

"I can save you; you're going to be fine" I muttered as Damien lifted his hand to wipe my cheek, "Lillian, it's okay. I'm okay" he said as I shook my head, another tear running down my cheek.

"No, this isn't how it's meant to happen. This shouldn't have happened, why did you stand in front of me you fucking idiot, " I said stroking his head as I looked down at him,

"I didn't even get a chance to make things right, I'm so sorry" I said frantically as his breathing began to slow down, an unknown fear rushing through every fibre of my being.

"No, no, no" I said as I gripped his face tight, his eyes slowly closing as my eyes widened, "Don't you fucking dare do this to me" I said as I frantically grasped his face,

"Don't you dare die on me; I can't lose you too. I just can't. I can't do any of this by myself. Please don't leave me, you asshole your not meant to go like this, fucking stop this bullshit" I growled as I gripped the stake and quickly pulled it out of him, a inhuman yell coming from him as his blood continued to seep onto the floor, staining the grass around us.

His chest began to rise and fall slower as I stroked his head and held my hand over his wound, "heal damn it, please heal" I whispered quietly, my magic flowing as his hand began to fall from my face,

"Lillian, it's okay, just look at me. Please look at me." he said as another small tear ran down my face,

"I wish I had more time, and I do wish fate had different plans for us. If only it had partnered us together, maybe everything would be different" he rasped as I shook my head stroking his hair, "You can't leave me. I can't fight Brand by myself, I will have nobody if you go" I whispered as he smiled up at me, gripping my hand.

"You changed me Lillian Silverback. You got me to do the one thing I never thought I would have, and you did the one thing I never thought I would do again" he whispered as I began to panic holding my hands over his wound,

"Damien not now please. Don't you fucking dare talk like this. You are going to be fine." I cried as my tears dropped onto his face,

"You taught me to love again Lillian Silverback, and you made me fall in love with you" he whispered as I gasped as his confession, my eyes growing wide,

He loved me?

"Damien..." I said as I held him tight to me, "Please don't go, please don't leave me" I said as he coughed lightly, his blood further staining the floor,

"Lillian, I wish I could have become and been the man you deserved, and I wish we had been paired for each other, but it was not meant to be that way. But no matter what, I will always love you. You saved me when I didn't even think I could save myself" he said deadly quiet as I sniffled and stroked his face,

"Damien, you're going to live. I can't and I won't let you die" I said as I closed my eyes and pressed my lips onto his.

As I did I felt a blow of power rush through the area and a white light filled up inside me, my heart feeling as if it was going to burst. Every part of my body lit on fire as I felt a cleansing magic run through me.

It was a pure fire, a cleansing heat that burnt away all the numbness as it set my soul ablaze. I felt my mind click as I felt complete, my heart growing full as I opened my eyes to look at Damien.

His eyes mirrored mine as I felt like I was home, his emotions laying out for me as I felt myself within his mind and him in mine.

His love for me consumed me as I felt it wrap around us on the floor and I gasped as he leant in again, pulling me close and kissing me, his tears mingling with mine as I felt his wound heal underneath my touch.

The kiss meant everything. Every stolen moment, every secret glance. The unbearable need that I felt every second I had spent with him was translated with his lips on mine. It was everything I dreamed of, and more perfect that I could have ever imagined.

Damien had always been mine, we had always belonged together.

I pulled back as I gasped and lifted his shirt, running my fingers over the place where the stake had just been,

His wound had healed but there was still a mixture of dark black veins running around the wound and he coughed loudly as he lay back on the floor breathing in deeply.

"Mine Lillian, you were always mine" he whispered as he passed out and I gasped touching my lips, the feel of his on mine still tingling throughout my entire body.

Before I knew it I was on the floor clutching at my head, all of my emotions rushing back to me at once as I screamed and the pain felt as if it was going to rip me apart.

Guilt smothered me as the pain became unbearable and I writhed on the floor in agony, my screams once again echoing throughout the forest,

As it finally subsided I saw a figure watching quietly behind Damien and I weakly lifted my head as I saw Dagger walking towards me,

"You" I hissed weakly as I pushed myself onto my knees trying to gather the strength to protect Damien, "You did this" I said as he knelt down next to me, "You tried to kill us. You almost killed Damien" I said as he smiled at me,

"Oh Lillian, I didn't try to kill anyone. I am merely following my orders" he said as he beckoned his men over who picked up Damien's limp body,

"Leave him alone" I yelled as I tried to push myself to my feet, "He's mine" I hissed as I felt the woods spin around me, my feet staggering underneath me.

"No please, stop it. He's injured, you can't take him away from me. You can't do this, I will kill each one of you. HE. IS. MINE." I cried out trying to use my magic as Dagger lifted me up into his arms,

"Stop struggling and being so damn stubborn Lillian, we aren't going to hurt you. Just rest and all will be explained" he said as I felt myself unwillingly give in to the darkness.
