Ch. 21 Silent Killer

**Liam's P.O.V **

"Ash...." I watch as she sleeps peacefully in her bed, her face no longer strained with a longing look for Adien, who is now trapped in hell, a smirk crosses my face, as I think of him trying to get out of those unbreakable chains, his face strained, surrounded by the dank smell of rotting flesh, and smoking walls.

"What a pathetic fool." I think of Adien to myself, as I watch Ash stir in her sleep. I come closer to her sleeping body and I whisper her name once more before leaving. I sense her jump and hear her heart begin racing which means I must have startled her as she tosses around. Oh Ash, I stare at the girl with long wavy dark hair cascading down her pillow and a creamy completion beaded with sweat that once captured my attention so long ago, she is the one that started this, if she would have only given into me, instead of acting a tease and choosing Adien instead, none of this would have happened. I would have had my way with her just like the others, and would not have cared if my brother got my leftovers, of course there wouldn't have been any leftovers if I would have had my way about it.

A smirk crosses my face as I think of what is to come.

A sound suddenly comes from her table beside her bed and vibrates onto the wooden floor with a dud echoing the entire bedroom, Ash stirs again, more this time, and I slowly creep over and see her phone brightly lit up with a picture of a girl I know all to well, with wavy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes flashing upon the screen.

Emma.

" That stupid wrench." I silently curse. ' what does she want at this time of night.. don't their kind ever sleep? 'I wonder. I make the phone stop its atrocious ring and put it on vibrate, the last thing I need is for Ash to wake up and see me here at this moment. No, I have a plan for her, a plan I have been waiting a century to complete, and it is almost time for it to begin.

A wicked smile forms on my face as I watch her.

" You have no idea what is to come to you My Love." I trail my hand through her long dark hair and watch her shudder at my touch, before her room disappears and Hell takes its place.

***Adien's P.O.V***

Water drips from somehwere unknown to me, as I sit here planning an escape. My only hope is that Emma understood me and is keeping Ash safe and trying to figure a way to get me the hell out of well...Hell.

I sigh. ' All of this is my fault I deserve what comes to me, but not Ash. Ash is innocent, niave to all the evil that surrounds her and now wants to put its ugly, repulsive hands on her fragile soul, to taint her and then throw her away like she never was.'

Footsteps come from my right chasing my wondering thoughts away as I strain my ears to listen to them coming closer.

"Adien." I hear an evil laugh escape and echo along the walls around me, " How are you liking your visit?" He taunts in the darkness.

I keep silent knowing it will only make him angrier than actually speaking my mind.

" Answer!" He screams and then slowly walks towards, an evil smirk still in place, " Tell me how does it feel knowing you are not going to be able to save her once again from her deathly fate, that she is going to be screaming your name to stop and you will be stuck in here, the coldest part of hell and she will think you done it all till her last living breath!" He comes face to face with me and stops.

Spit leaves my mouth to land on his face and I smirk, only to receive a blow to the mouth by his fist," How did you enjoy that cold part of hell?" I taunt him knowing it will just lead to more violence, but not having anything to lose will make a man do stupid things, and the only thing I have to lose is Ash and he has put that out of my hands...for now.

I stare at the anger rising in his eyes, if Emma can figure out how to get me out of here the only thing that will be behind his eyes is the look of death.

I smile and he crosses his arms, " Giving up yet?" He says bored as he looks around the walls and then back at me.

" Never." I say my voice strong even though my body has been through hell, I have healing scars from the force I have been using to try to escape, and I have blood from my new scars going down my body, dirt covers me and I smell replusive, a mixture of decay and death. If my kind could die of human things I would understand the screams I hear at night very well, but as much as I wish for death I have to live and escape for my love, my heart, my sweet, my soul, my Ash.

Her name brings me strength and warmth from a place deep inside of me as a small smile, that doesn't go unnoticed, forms across my face.

" You may smile now brother, but mark my words there will be only tears when I am through." With those words Liam slowly fades away, laughter echoing through the walls, the caves, and leaving me in darkness, alone.
