Soul Shards

Chapter 23

Alex's POV:
Ross had been gone for a day and Abby didn't sleep much at all, she said she could feel each bone in his body breaking last night. I was getting increasingly worried for Abby she wanted to go find Azazel and kill him but I wouldn't let her. Lilith was using him as a trap to get Abby there and kill her. "I'm going," she said packing a bag.
"No your not Abby. Lilith is going to be there waiting to kill you."
"I don't give a shit as long as I get Ross out of there."
"And leave him to forever live without you!" Abby sighed and sat down in tears, she knew I had a point. "Abby if you go and Ross gets out but you die, how do you think that's going to leave him. It's going to leave him in the same position, broken."
"If I'm gone maybe she will leave you alone."
"No she won't Abby, if Misha doesn't show up for you she will come after me there will be no escape."
"Then I should just kill myself now, just end it."
"Abby Smith you will do no such thing!"
"Why. Who is stopping me, I have lost my parents my bestfriend, Jake and now I'm losing Ross and I can feel every little bit of his torture."
"I'm stopping you! I lost my parents too you know I lost my best friend, it was extremely lucky to get him back and I'm not losing my little sister as well!" Abby started crying so I gave her a hug. "We can take on Azazel then Lilith together. All of us, we are stronger together than apart."
"I-I can just feel Ross's pain it's killing me as well. I can't take it. I can't," Abby started crying so I hugged her tighter. "You can Abby your strong. Ross is strong as well he isn't going to back down he isn't going to give in. If you keep fighting so will he." Abby buried her face into my chest and cried. "Your going to be fine, trust me," I said rubbing her back.
"Never trust a person that says trust me," Abby laughed a little bit.
"Promise me you will stay strong and won't go after Azazel on your own."
"I promise."
"Look me in the eyes and tell me you won't. You will wait until we can all go together." She lifted her head and looked at me. "I promise Alex I won't go alone."  I let go from hugging her and started to leave the room but she didn't start unpacking the bag so I had a sick feeling she was going to leave, she was going to break her promise and I knew it. "Abby just don't. I'm not losing you as well," I said before leaving the room. She didn't say anything.

Ross's POV:
I had slept for an hour as I was in so much pain and it was hard to get comfortable on a hard floor. "Sssleep well," someone said in a very snake like voice. I didn't reply. "Here isss sssome food, mistressss Lilith sssaid I musst give it to you to keep up your sstrenght." He gave me a small loaf of bread and some water. I knew it wasn't poisoned as Lilith said she wanted me for something before she killed me and if she wants strength she can't have it poisoned even a little bit but not enough to kill me. "Thank you," I said actually being grateful I was starving and it was very hard to try and heal with little energy. I hoped Abby wouldn't come after me, I knew she would try and come after me alone. I had relied on Smith to keep her there and keep her safe. I went to take a bite out of the bread and realised something wasn't right about it. It wasn't poisoned but drugged. I remembered hearing Lilith talking about make me hers. So I had a feeling it was drugged with a love potion type thing. In the darkness I saw something white so knew that as soon as I took a bite Lilith was going to appear and it was some how going to make me fall in love with her. I wasn't going to betray Abby no potion was going to make me forget her so I took a bite and pictured her in my head. Her long silky hair, crystal blue eyes. Tall but muscular stature, sweet and beautiful face. Lilith appeared in front of me. "Come to me my love," she said and I stayed where I was. "Disobeying me are we, you will get a treat if you corporate. A nice treat one you will enjoy."
"Fuck you, is what I say to that."
"You! Why didn't it work!"
"I love Abby and no bloody love potion can change that."
"You have a stronger bond than I though, that is the strongest potion ever made."
"Looks like it didn't work."
"I'm just going to have to turn you myself then." She pulled me to the bars using magic and held me there, then kissed me. I tried to push away, but I couldn't I had no powers. She tried to get her tongue into my mouth but I bit down hard. "You fuck! You bit my tongue." I spat out blood that wasn't my own. "You get no food tonight and tomorrow morning."
"That's fine with me," I moved as far away from where she was and as close to the wall as I could. I had a feeling I wasn't going to survive being here.
