The moon sparkles overhead and bugs chirp through the night. After our stop we decided to set up camp for the night. A thin blanket lies over Bion and I. Liam happened to walk over here as 'that' was going on which was super awkward but he immediately left. Bion and I are now in a kind of spooning position and I think he is asleep. His arms drape across me folding me in protection. I turn around so I am facing him. He slightly opens an eye and lays on his back. I snuggle up next to him and rest me head on his warm chest. Bion sighs. "What?" I ask and look up at him. He runs his hand up and down my arm softly. "Who knew that in this situation I still got what I wanted most?" He says with a relaxed smirk. "Who knew I was what you wanted most?" I say in a seductive tone. He grins lazily. "We are in a war between our people and still we love and hope and dream," he says. I run a finger along one of the many scars that trace his chest. "I love you," I whisper. "I love you too," Bion says as he kisses my head. Pork fills the air. I brought plenty of pig meat. "Ooo I'm starving lets get some food," I say. A hint of disappointment falls on his face but then he reaches for our clothes. I hurry up and get dressed. Bion follows behind as we head to the campfire. Liam walks up before we can reach the food. "Umm." His face is red and he rubs a hand on the back of his neck. "I am uh really sorry about that," he says and looks from me to Bion. "It's cool you didn't stop me from doing anything," he says and kisses my neck. I giggle and look back to Liam. "Forget about it ok," I say and he nods. We walk over to the juicy pig meat cooking. I grab some and gobble it down. Bion looks off into the woods with a concerning look. "What is it?" I say looking off where he is. "Not it, who?" Bion says and pulls away from my hand. He walks towards where he was looking. His broad shoulders stick out in his muscle tank top. He walks into the bushes. I go off after him. "What are you doing here?" Bion says. I hide behind a bush when I see the woman. She is taller than Bion! She looks like one of those freakishly tall basketball players. The woman is skinny with a little muscle. She has jet black hair and a little tan. Her eyes are pitch black like her hair and her teeth are sharpened to a point. She looks like some demonic alien thing. "I think you know very well why I'm here," she says in a thick French accent. "I know but why do you care if one of your little puppets falls out of line? It isn't like the whole species is following me." She grins maliciously and her white, sharp teeth sparkle in the moonlight. "Normally I wouldn't care, normally I would just send others after you. But this time is different you aren't like the others. The others who fell out of line did it because they were scared but not you," she says. "Bion you did it for love and love is powerful, it will drive you to do anything to protect your love. And we cannot have that now can we," she says and pinches his cheek. "I made all of you a certain way. I made absolutely sure that you were built for war. I did not put love in any of you. It is quite impossible that you feel it. But then I remembered who you were. No one is immune to the new virus and no one heals a human like that. You are not of our species," the demon lady says. Fear takes a hold of Bion. "You are strong and you are from the X realm. So I obviously need to kill you," she says. A smile creeps into Bion's face. "So I'm from the X realm huh? Well I know very well that I am stronger than you, so tell me Kali how are you going to kill me?" He asks with confidence. Kali smirks, "Is that a challenge?" Bion pulls out his silver blade. Kali pulls some sort of glowing blade out. It glows bright blue and flames with fire. Bion's eyes widen at the sight of the blade. Kali moves closer to where I hide. Then she is right in front of my bush. She grabs me by the neck and throws me on the ground in front of her. Dust stings in my eyes. I cough and grasp my throat. "This is the little human you love isn't it? My my she is so... Ugly," she says and smiles devilishly at Bion. Rage masks his face and his knuckles turn white around his blade. I look up to Bion with frightened eyes. His face softens when he sees me but anger quickly recovers when he looks at Kali. Her fingers still grips my neck and I can feel her sharp talons digging into my skin. Blood drips on the ground. I take a deep breath and whip out my dagger. I slice her hand off. She grunts but then smiles as I get up. I scramble over to Bion. Blood pours from her arm. "Feisty isn't it," Kali says to Bion. "Excuse me I don't know if you people have genders from where you are from but I'm obviously a female," I spat at her. She cackles and stops the blood from flowing out her arm. My eyes widen as she grows back her hand. I look to Bion and shock is written on is face too. "Oh sweet little Bion I am one of the few mothers of our species and we can do so much more than the wee little offsprings," Kali says and lunges at him. She knocks him to the ground and starts to punch him while the blade lies on the ground. "Why don't you just kill me coward," Bion yells in between punches. Kali stops for a minute and holds his face with one hand. "Why would I want to end this so quickly I'm just starting to have fun," she says and passionately kisses him. He struggles beneath her body. She is straddling him. Watching Kali kiss him snapped me out of my frozen stance and I pounced on her. Kali growled at me as I got up. She tried to grab my leg and I stabbed her hand. She didn't even flinch and pulled me down. "That blade won't work you need a specific silver one," Bion said. Bion slashed her face. A deep cut traced her forehead. Blood spilled over her face and eyes. She groaned and wiped at her eyes. Kali took her blade in hand but Bion reached her first. He dug his blade deep into her chest. She grasped his hand but he just pushed deeper until his hand was in her chest too. Her black eyes returned to a dark brown and you could now see her pupils and the whites of her eyes. Kali looked into Bion's eyes and the vengeful wall she had built crumbled. Tears ran down her cheeks. "You aren't my child, you are the son of the one I love," she croaked out and Kali payed a hand on his face. Bion slapped her hand away and a betrayed look was the last thing I saw in her eyes before the life left them.
