Oscar Wilde
To give and not expect return,  that is what lies at the heart of love.

Hatred.  That's all I see in her eyes and it's directed at me.  Tears were streaming down her face as she drove the blade deeper into my body. The piercing pain below my left breast was too much.

I fell to the ground, after she took the blade out slowly,  clutching my wound trying too stop the bleeding and the pain but it was a failed attempt. I could feel the crimson liquid running through my fingers, escaping the hole in my chest.

Its my fault. He didn't deserve to die. Erin is never going to believe me when I tell her the truth, so instead I said nothing.

Darkness was closing in on me and this time I let it consume me.

# A few hours earlier #

"Can't you see the resemblance?" Erin asked me while standing next to Marvin.

"I can see that you got all the looks in the family. " I immediately regret saying those words because the look on Marvin's  face was one of pure rage.

"You little.. ...... You'll pay for that! Harry, full power. "He yelled with his face getting redder.

This time the force of the electricity running through me was way worse than yesterday. In only a few seconds the numbness has taken complete control of my body.

BANG! !!!!

At the sound of a shot going off, everything stopped. I tried to lift my head up to see where the sound came from.  In front of me stood Erin holding a gun and looking pissed off.  I could still see smoke coming out of the barrel of the gun.

"I told you not to hurt the princess, you idiot!" Erin yelled at Marvin.

Now I was confused at what has just happened.  Weren't they all on the same side?(yet she just shot that guy).

"She insulted me so I think she deserved it.  You didn't have to kill him!" Marvin yelled back at her while walking towards her.

They now stood face to face with their noses almost touching.

"I gave you specific orders to not  hurt her and that means that you have to OBEY them!! "

"Its not like its the first time I've hurt her since she came here, you know.   I mean just the day before I had a nice warm-up with her and Colin. And why should I listen to what you say.   "Marvin said no longer angry and had a smirk on his face while he looked at his sister.

"You freaking dumbass I wasn't the one who gave the order.  Father did." The moment she mentioned their father Marvin's face instantly paled. What the hell is going on?

"Why didn't you say that in the first  place! Shit,  I'm so dead. "He said running a hand through his hair.

"Its too late now.  What's done is done.  Now I'm  going to go out to calm down before I kill all of your men."With that said she turned around and was gone.

"This is all your fault. "Marvin yelled at me but before I could react his fist connected with my face. I could hear something cracked with the force he hit me with.  The chair also fell backwards letting me fall in my back(which hurt like a bitch since me hands were tied behind my back). Then pain was really bad and I could feel the blood coming from my nose.
