Sylus

I freeze instantly.

Don't you dare lay a hand on my girl!

I can see the panic in my little kitten's eyes and I go full rage mode...

I see red, literally...

My shadows rush out of my hand with a roar out of my mouth.

Within an eyeblink my shadows grab the knife from her throat and out of that assholes hand, before they ram it straight through his neck. With an disgusting sound the knife slits his throat, down to his spine. Blood spits out of his half beheaded body like a waterfall, before the dead man falls to the ground.

Meanwhile my shadows slam the other two bastards against the wall behind them and holds them there.
They're sqirming and shouting insults, but they're obviously in panic.

As they should be...

And the most important thing my shadows do is grabbing my girl around the waist and pull her into my arms, where she's safe again.
I take her head in my hands.

»Are you alright, Baby?«

»Y-yes.«

»Let's get outta here!«

I don't hesitate, put my arms around her and bring us to the roof of the building, still holding those traitors on the wall.

»What are we doing here?«

»Mephisto told me that there are people from EVER waiting for us to come out. They want to take you from me. But I'm not going to let that happen. Never!«

I pull her closer to my body.

»You sure you're alright?«

This is the first time in my life I actually felt real fear for a moment...

She's my weakness...

»I am. Physically at least...«

Yeah, I can tell. She's shaking and a little pale, too.

»Don't worry, Sweetie. I will not let anyone hurt you.«

I grab the back of her neck and pull her towards me. I press my lips to hers in a passionated kiss.

The fear of losing her makes me go insane!

I know I'm stronger than all of them...

But...

One wrong step...

One time being too slow...

The emotions inside of me are overwhelming.
And then I feel her pushing against my chest and I pull away.

»Sylus, you're crushing me...«, she complains and I recognize that my grip on her got tighter.

I losen it up, but don't let go of her completely.

»I'm...sorry. I just...«

Another annoying thing I never experienced...

The lack of words...

»It's okay. I'm okay. Now, how do we get away?«

I calm down and smile at her.

»Not sure if you're going to like my answer, Sweetie.«

»Oh, gods. Tell me...«

Before I can answer, the door to the rooftop flies open and several men come running towards us.

EVER...

»I need you to trust me now, Baby. Can you do this for me?«

»I really think I don't have much choice!«

»Then...Jump!«

»What?!«, she screeches.

»Jump from the building, now!«

I point to the egde behind us, the men only a few feet away from us. They already started shooting, but I hold the bullets away from us with my shadows.

»I'll never go to any event with you again!«, she says with a shaky voice.

And then she jumps...
