love that binds me

Christmas ball pt. 2

"You!" i spat in disgust.

A few people turned to watch the scene i was causing. I didn't care. They never did care. Only if it entertained them in some way.

"You." He responded his eyes doubling in size.

So he remembered me.

I'll be back for you.

I trembled at thought of what he told me that day.I've waited so long for this moment. What i would do if i saw him again. I wanted to use some of the cool ninja moves i learned with Raheem, but too many people would question it.

So i punched him in the face.

No one stopped me. Ariel nor Chris didn't bat an eye.

It was nice to see that the impact affected him. Until his healing abilities kicked in and it was as if i never touched him. I lunged at him but Ariel caught me without trouble.

"You low life. You raped me." The tears sprang from eyes and i quickly swatted them away. He wiped the spit from his face. His calm demeanor not changing.

Christopher snarled stepping infron of me.

"Don't let him ruin this." His eyes were black orbs. "This is our engagement party and your ruining it." He hissed at his brother.

His brother.

He was hurting and angry. Our feelings were so much the same it was hard to distinguish who's was who's.

"I came to congratulate you little brother. I didn't think I'd see Jothi again." He smiled at me....the same dimples Chris had.

He knew my name. How...how could he know? My head swirled and i felt nauseous. It was as if he targeted me that day. He did. How else would he know my name?

"How do you know her?" Ariel asked alarmed. If he knew me from the camp her lies would have went to waste.

"I met her a few years ago." he said vaguely.

Chris grabbed Michael and practically dragged him away from the party. Ariel and i followed quickly behind into the small room.

Once alone Chris did what i thought he never do. He took off his suite jacket...then threw his brother into the wall.

Michael snarled and tackled him. I didn't realize i tried to run to him until Ariel pulled me back.

"Don't." she said sternly. Her eyes too were black and bottomless.

I've never seen Chris act the way he was tonight. He smashed Micheal's face into the brick wall where it dented.

"She's mine!" he snarled holding onto him by his neck.

Michael kicked him square in the chest and through him across the room as if he was a rag doll.

Ariel didn't say a word and it was killing me. That was her brother. Her brothers.

"Want to know something interesting about your mate?" Michael snarled pinning his brother to the ground.

Ariel released a hiss of her own when he referred to me.

"You know nothing!" Chris roared throwing his brother into a nearby table.

It smashed into pieces. He picked a large sharp piece and held it at Michael's chest.

"I know you haven't completed the bond." He took in a deep breath through his nose. "Doesn't she just smell irresistible Ariel? Like she's in heat.I know Jameson smelled it." He laughed.
