For where Love reigns, disturbing Jealousy 

Doth call himself Affection's sentinel; 

Gives false alarms, suggesteth mutiny. 

-William Shakespeare

Rex's POV 

I moved through the dark trees of Verboten forest. As name suggested, this forest was the one not spoken about. This was because of the dark creatures that ruled it. No human ever returned alive from this forest, no one.  

No human dared to enter in this forest, but we had these young blooded humans who thought they could deceive anyone. Just for the sake of challenge, they ignored the urban legends and entered this forest. As long as these fools came here, we the dark creatures enjoyed the feast. These young, fresh and hot human bloods gave us a power and satisfaction that no other blood could give us. 

But tonight I wasn't here for blood. I was in a fury, rage to kill that bastard. How dare he go against my order? That pathetic, coward was here in this forest. I could sense the power he was emanating, causing a fear in his prey. I could hear the racing heart beats of that human he was holding prey. I could smell the blood of human. It was coming from the west. Without any delay, I ran into the woods in that direction. 

Within a second, I was behind the bushes where Jeff was playing with his prey. His prey was a human girl. She was all scared. It was clear that her companions were already dead. Now it was her turn. 

Jeff was completely enjoying her fear, her pain, and her misery. All the dark creatures got their strength from the fear and pain of humans. Jeff's eyes were dark with hunger and desire. He had the full power on her. He had compelled her to stay rooted to the ground, not that it mattered as he could catch her within a blink of eye. Compelling human and running at the speed of light was the power we dark creatures enjoyed.  

Jeff was all set to attack her and savor the taste of her warm blood. She smelled delicious, but before he could attack her, I moved in between them, stopping him. 

"Get away from my way, Rex. She is mine," he threatened me. Another fact about us, we never tolerated obstacles between us and our prey. 

"Is it?" I smirked. Seeing prey in pain gave us strength, but seeing the betrayer in vulnerable state gave us pleasure. I was not going to allow him have his hand on her. "Try it," I challenged him. 

He dived to attack her, but with a swift motion, I carried her ten meters away from him. 

"What happened, Jeff? What are you waiting for? Come on. Don't you want her? She is all yours. Just, you need to take her away from me. Come on now," I mocked. 

He jumped to grab her, but failed again. One more time he tried to take her from my grip, but failed. 

"Is that all you could do pathetic, coward Jeff?" I spat. 

Jeff balled his fist in anger. I smirked knowing that now it was going to be something interesting. He created a ball of fire and directed towards me. Holding the girl close, I dodged it easily. He threw the second fire ball which I dodged too. He directed the third one directly towards my face. I had no time to dodge it, so using my power of wind I forced the fireball in opposite direction which set the trees to fire where it hit. The pattern carried on until we were surrounded by the blazing trees. I turned the last fireball he directed towards me into a fist of ash.
