(Eric's POV)
I looked at the girl in my arms, my weakness gone forever. I should be pleased but the only thing I was feeling was loss. Her body hung limply in my arms blood covering her delicate neck.

"Sapphire," I whispered pain in my chest. Was it Nathan or I that was sad? I teleported back to my home walking inside. The guards rushed toward me before pausing. I could see on all their faces that they were grieving for the girl who we all loved. She was so good that even the most vile people loved her. I placed her on the couch looking at my blood soaked hands. Someone was going to pay for the blood she shed. "Get Josh!"

"But sir," one guard said causing me to glare.

"Get him NOW!" I spat angrily. I kneeled beside Sapphire as tears spilled past my emotional barrier. She broke through and I never knew she had. I stroked her hair as I looked at her lifeless body.

"Boss he's here," a guard said as they showed him to us.

"Sapph," Josh gasped as I faced him.

"The ancestors did this!" I snapped as Josh rushed to her.

"How? Why?" Josh asked as he looked at his twin.

"They created her to be my weakness," I said softly. "They forced her and Tony apart."

"How is that possible?" Josh said as I shook my head.

"She died and they did it then," I said unable to look away from Sapphire.

"Does Tony know?" Josh asked as I looked at him confused.

"He broke her heart why should he?" I demanded angrily.

"He loves her," Josh said as I glared.

"Your definition of love and my definition are very different," I said firmly.

"Is there a way to save her?" Josh said as I thought for a moment.

"I don't think you'll like the way I have to do it," I said softly as he looked at me.

"How?" Josh demanded as I looked at him.

"The twins would have to be linked to her. They are the only thing strong enough to save her," I said carefully.

"Is it dangerous?" Josh questioned as I sighed.

"I don't think so but with all these facts I can't give you a definitive answer," I said as one guard walked toward me.

"Boss Tony is outside," the guard said causing me to walk outside.

"Tony your daughter is upstairs safe," I said not wanting to argue with him right now.

"Is that blood?!" Tony demanded as I faced him.

"Yes and no I didn't cause it," I said making my way inside.

"Where is Sapphire?!" Tony demanded anger in his brown eyes.

"She was killed," I said as I made my way back to Josh.

"Is there a way to bind her life to mine?" Josh asked as I looked at him.

"That might actually work. As her twin you would probably be able to save her. You both are connected," I said conjuring a knife. I took his hand quickly pricking his finger. I used his finger to draw a symbol on her arm. I watched as the symbol glowed strengthening their connection. Tony walked into the room a look of rage filling his feature.

"You are trying to bring her back? She's a monster who should stay dead!" Tony growled as I focused on the magic. I felt my magic reaching out to Sapphire's as I shut my eyes. In my mind I could see her life force swirling around us. I reached out trying to grasp her as my heart called to her...

I was pulled quickly into the spirit world. I smiled as she appeared before me a smile playing at her lips.

"Eric," she whispered as I touched her ghostly cheek.

"I will save you," I said softly as tears filled her eyes.

"I love you Eric," she said as I pulled her close to me...

I opened my eyes looking at Sapphire's body as I stroked her cold cheek. I felt a shockwave travel through my body before it entered her body. Her eyes flew open as she started coughing.

"Sapph," Josh said wrapping his arms around her. She sat up glancing over at me her very blue eyes revealing the good magic inside her.

"Tony," she gasped as he glared at her.

"I came for my daughter," Tony growled walking toward the stairs. Sapphire looked down at her hands disappointment filling her face. I grabbed her hands quickly forcing her to look at me.

"You deserve better than him," I said firmly, "better than me, Sapphire!" I watch surprise flood her bright blue gaze. I pulled her close holding her in my arms taking in her scent.

"What about the baby?" Sapphire asked causing me to put my hand on her belly. I felt a smile spread across my lips to feel the hum of magic in her womb.

"Healthy," I said as she smiled relief all over her face. She turned as Tony walked toward the door. Sapphire walked away from me making her way over to him. Pain filled my chest as she called out to him.

"Tony I don't have any dark magic anymore?" Sapphire said to him. He froze before pulling his arm away from her. "Tony please don't do this. I'm pregnant with your child!"

"You crossed a line," Tony growled causing me to grab his arm.

"You stole her children and tired to hold us prisoner, you crossed a line too. Sapphire even on her worst day did everything for family!" I snapped harshly as Tony glared at me.

"She's a monster one step from total darkness!" Tony snapped walking out of the house Jamie in his arms. She had a look of pain in her icy eyes.

"Sapphire he is wrong and one day he will realize what he lost," I said as she faced me.

"For someone I'm supposed to find evil you are so good," she said wrapping her arms around me.

(Sapphire's POV)
I stood in Eric's embrace feeling calm. Were these growing feelings inside love for Eric...
