My Highlander, My Love, Part Three:Forbidden Love, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.

Despair

Michael saw Lucious grab Abby angrily by her arm and disappear, he knew exactly what was happening and swallowed. Closing his eyes, he could not help but remember the day he slashed the leather whip across Kyra's delicate skin because she had defied him. For a brief moment he almost felt the pain that Kyra had felt, as she lay helplessly beneath him when he cracked the whip, and he prayed that Lucious would not react as he had. Abby was a strong woman and would never forgive him if he hurt her in that way even if Lucious had every right to punish her according to the laws of Scotland. 

When he opened his eyes, chaos was everywhere as the humans ran for cover. There were dead bodies everywhere and splattered blood across the cement ground. Michael could hear the sirens as the many ambulances and fire trucks parked around Times Square, and the men that jumped out of the trucks ran quickly to assist the wounded. 

Up ahead of him, he watched Kalan stand in a Warriors position staring at Violet. Just by his facial expression, Michael could tell that Kalan was fuming. Violet was a strong amd fearless woman and could fight with the strength of ten lions, but Michael knew that Kalan would break her spirit for defying him. He wasn't going to let her get away with it, she had deliberately disobeyed the command to stay put in Fay land and now she too would have to pay for her stupidity. the Druid watched as Kalan angrily made his way to Violet.

"You deliberately disobeyed the command to stay in Fay land and keep watch!" Kalan said coldly.  

Violet lifted her chin proudly, "I am a warrior, and as such, I don't take orders from anyone, nor do I sit back and do nothing when there is a battle going on!" She answered back defiantly, not noticing the way Kalans eyes turn dark and dangerous. 

"Quiet lioness, or I shall punish you and you shall feel my wrath!" His voice sounded harsh and ruthless, any other woman would have cringed by now, but Violet stood her ground without an ounce of fear. 

"You wouldn't dare!" She challenged, without realizing that her own words convicted her to severe punishment. 

Kalan took a deep breath of inhalation, and closed his eyes for a moment to control his anger. He prayed that she will hold her tongue in front of all the Warriors to avoid punishment, for he was a Fay King and as such, punishment tripled if a woman talked down to him in front of others. She would be putting herself in a very dangerous situation and he didn't want to hurt her. 

When he opened his eyes, he threw her a warning glare, begging her to stay silent in front of all the witnesses, but when he looked into her eyes, his heart sank, she was about to dig her own grave. "Silence!" He barked loud and clear, hoping she took his warning to heart. 

Violet chest heaved with anger, how dare her betrothed spoke down to her as if she was nothing but a child, she thought angrily, "Never!" She said in a firm amd unwavering voice.

Kalan raised his eye brow, suddenly realizing exactly what his life will be like once he and Violet are wed, and a part of him throbbed with excitement that he would have in his bed a wildcat that he would find pleasure taming, but another part of him, the serious part, knew that Violet is untamable and if he left the matter alone, it would only get worse. Not liking one bit what he had to do next, and with a sinking heart, the strong amd powerful Fay King in him took over and he did what he had to do. 

"Then I must do what I should have done to you from the start!" His armed snaked out and he grabbed Violet from her tiny waist and they both dissapeared into thin air.

"Help me Pauletta!" Roula cried, as another pain shot up her back.

"Oh my GOD Roula, oh my GOD!" Pauletta screamed when she looked down and found her best friend in a pool of blood. Tears glided down her lovely face, Roula's body looked broken as she lay on the ground fighting for her life. "Help! Help us please!" Pauletta cried desperately, trying to catch the attention of the paramedics, but they were all busy helping other's and Pauletta took a deep breath of inhalation before she opened up her mouth and screamed as loud as she could, "HELP US PLEASE!!"
