"You saw that right ?!" Emmery throws herself to Rosalinds bed "he had her and released her !" Rosalind sips on her glass, it's true he had pushed and prodded for weeks with a violent temper to have her and yet when in reach ...

"When are you going to do something about it ?" Almost a whine

"Soon precious" Rosalind sooths back placing her glasses to the side "one more destination and we'll know what to do" straddling Emmery

"Now come, I'm bored of the talk" pulling Emmery to her

                        **********
Passing Rosalinds room I hear Squeals and moans. Smirking I carry on, climbing the stairs to my floor

There I jump into the hot shower washing of the rivers' cooled waters. Closing my eyes, I see her standing by large boulders. Leggings clinging to her frame and a loose exercise shirt. Her hair sat wild and free, curls running to the length of her chest. Eyes looking nowhere but me. Groin stirring

Her heart beat, I can still here it in my ears. Jaw bulging, frustration fills me. Leaving the shower

Why hadn't I taken her ? Alone close to the river, hadn't that been what I wanted, craved for weeks and yet ...

climb into bed I hoped for restful sleep.

It's not until the following night Rosalind informs me we're ready to move. We steady ourselves before the last village

"This is it," Rosalind looks to me "make it count, Cresent will be ours" howling we transform, leaping into action. Claws stretch jagged edges deep into flesh, bodies collide while screams, growls and howls fill the air. Rosalind runs on my right, Emmery to my left. We file through until I notice Rosalind unable to keep up, she'd become surrounded, mind occupied

"Rosalind!" Snarling I push her free from the mobbing to be beaten with claws, bats, and torches driving me to my knees.

"Another village down ... when are you going to take your chance ?"

"Soon" Emmerys words cloud Rosalinds mind. They'd spent many nights rolling in the sheets, but when it comes to the battle, she finds herself waiting, pondering when to strike.

Erebus finds himself in a situation where aid is needed after freeing Rosalind from the same fate

"Rosalind, why the wait ?" Her voice pressuring

"Now" Emmery snarls as she flies into position. Rosalind strikes Erebus round the back of the head, kicking his knees out from under him. Claws drawing blood from his throat as she whispers close, under Emmerys gleeful gaze

"I loved you, you know. Would have followed you anywhere.." her eyes holding Emmerys "loyal without a cause.." Erebus kneels unmoving

"Any last words?" Emmery smirks as she spits to his knees

"Fuck you" boasting in her winning "guess I did make it to que.. " her words splutter as blood curdles in her throat. Her hands grasp at the object that sits deep in her innards, fingers curling to forearm

"Ros..Rosalind .." splatters across her cheek, pulling loose her heart. It pulses in her palm as Emmery lays like a fallen angel to the ground

"Your right" eyes flicking to Erebus who looks at the blooded cheeks and then to the heart "she does talk to much" sighing she lets the heart fall to the ground

Erebus stands, pulling Rosalind to him. His forehead touching hers, neck pulsing

"Trust me .."

"Always, love" his words cut through hers, a gentle kiss to her forehead and arm around her shoulders, they leave along with the shadows. Emmery lays blue, heart to her open hand features still like stone. As it pulses one last time
