Bound with fear

OH-OH...

…………. I dressed and pulled my hair back high on my head, the door opened and Iagan stood framed in the early morning light.

“Do you ever knock” I turned my back on him

“We have to train”

“I’m not” I looked back at him “You train get some of that built up tension out that your woman last night failed to do” my tone was hard and biting

“You need to train” he sound tired “We need to talk”

“No we don’t… as you pointed out last night Guardian” I walked toward him “I’m just a whore doing a whores work… but the one man I want is repulsed by the thought of it… so we will be how we are supposed to be but you do not tell me what I can and can’t do or I will do this alone and tell my father I do not want or need you around” Iagan’

S eyes got wide “as for the blood tie we have I’m sorry you will have to feel what I feel I will try to keep my emotions in check so you can remain focused on the whores in your hand” I moved by him “Anya I’m going out for a while please have my things laid out for me for tonight”

“Yes Mo Bhean” she nodded and bowed her head.

“Wait” Iagan ran from my room I looked at him and raised my eye brows “You cannot go out alone what if you come face to face with Seth”

“Then I deal with my brother… I kill my sister-in-law and I lay with an immortal as I was told to do” I closed my eyes

“Kendra NO” he lunged for me falling through the empty air as I vanished “DAMN” He punched the floor

“You’re a fool” Anya Kicked his ass as he lay on the floor “What the hell have you done… she’s on a path to self destruction” He looked at her

“I know” he got to his feet “I know” he walked to the window and took a deep breath as he looked over the city “I have to find her”

“Well you have a sense of her so follow it” Anya turned away from him “Iagan I love you but I do not need you like she does…” Iagan grabbed a heavy wool coat from the hook by the door

“Since when did you become so wise?” he smiled a little

“When I face death and I was saved from it by the woman you love” she picked up some clothes and walked away from Iagan on into the bedroom………..

….. I opened m y eyes I was on the wide back of the river that split the city the chilly air whipping round me as people hurried around with collars pooped on jackets. I took in the sounds and the smells of the city, feeling the burn of Iagan’s worry and anger in my blood making me smile a little as I started to walk, Iagan was all but lost to me the way I wanted him to be he’d made it perfectly plain and clear. My father’s wishes were to make Brae the immortal to take as mine and make a child with, that thought alone sent the living terror through to my bone as I remembered the pain that had happened when Iagan had. The air swirled round whipping up the leaves on the ground I pushed my hands in to the pockets of the coat I was wearing. Then there was Star she’d done nothing to me other than fall in love with my brother and defend her own family as I was supposed to be doing what was the point in wasting her life, but she lead to Seth and Seth had betrayed my father… our father and killed and watched as Cole and Marcus were slaughtered I sat on a bench that faced the dark cold looking water. My head hurt with all I’d learnt and all I’d been shown.

“Well I really didn’t expect to go out for a run and find a beautiful angel on the banks of the Seine” I looked round as man sat down next to me his heavy accent screamed he was a local

“I’m just taking time out to take a good look at the city” I moved up a little to give some breathing room between the two of us.

“The banks of the Seine aren’t a place for a stranger they can be dangerous” he toyed with my hair “Especially beautiful strangers like you… the men here see a beautiful woman and he sniffed my hair’

“Well I think I can take care of myself” I went to get up he caught my wrist and pulled me back down

“I think not Angel… I think we can find a place for you with the girls I have working for me” he smiled raising his other hand and signaling to someone

“I really think you need to let go of me” I glared at him “I do not let men like you touch me”

“Feisty I like it the clients will pay more for this” he laughed as two huge men walked over.

“I think you really need to let go of the Lady” My heart skipped a beat at the sound of Iagan’s Voice

“I agree I don’t think you need to even breathe in her direction” Brae’s voice added in. I glanced at Iagan who seemed to be a little shocked for a minute.

“Don’t even try it” the guy pulled me closer to him Brae’s hand moved under his jacket and the blade came out and glinted in the air as it struck on of the two guys square in the forehead he fell back as Iagan Moved quickly taking the bench in one leap his feet planting in the chest of the second large guys running at him

“Well it seems like I get ot deal with you” Brae Smiled turning to look at the guy holding me I felt my fingers heat up as I clutched at the guys arm Iagan caught my attention and shook his head I realized he meant for me not to reveal what I was.

“I have this” the guy pulled a gun and pointed it to Brae “Now back off and I’m taking my prize with me”

“Really” Brae sighed “So what if I did” the speed of Brae’s movement even had me blinking as his hand gripped the throat of the man holding me the gagging choking sound filling the air round us “I don’t like people that snatch girls from the street to be used by ass holes like you” the guys tried to turn his hand with the gun in it but looked like he was fighting against a force greater than anything “Lives of people like you are worthless” the mans eyes rolled back in his head “And when you interfere with the friend of someone like me I take those likes and snuff them out” Brae’s fingers gripped tighter as the flailing man stopped and I sensed the halt to his heart beat Brae held him over the water and dropped him into the water before turning to me as I watched Iagan tip the other two bodies into the ice darkness of the Seine……………………….
