Love Conquers All

Chapter Twenty Five

George's POV

"It's been a while since we've sat down and talked like this, hu George?" Aaron's fingers touch between my shoulder blades and I slam against the ground.  I groan and gasp for breath, body reeling with my newfound connection with the floor.

"I could live another hundred years without talking to you." I snarl and eyes narrow at him.  He gasps and puts a hand on his chest.

"I'm offended George, I thought you'd learn to love your daddy. I thought  it would make us closer,that we wouldn't have to fight." He sits behind the desk and props his feet up. I glare and stay standing.

"Leave my family and home alone, and we wont have a problem." I grind my teeth and fingers slowly curl around the knife hidden in my jacket pocket. Thomas gave it to me before we left the hotel, orginal dark steel from under the mountain, from thw orginal night court. Where he got it? He's a king, its his court, hes probably had stashes around incase of emergancies. It doesn't supries me.

"You see, I cant do that." He bobs his head to the side and eyes lock with mine." The Jefferson family is simply just too powerful to leave alone. And John with that shapeshifter? Together they're dangerous, of course you already know how I feel about Laf."

"Then leave Maria and Hercules out of this, the less people involved the less likely I am to kill you slowly and painfully." I narrow my eyes and study his and as they rest on the desk, frost curl around the wood like an endless growing maze.

"I would, but then again. Where's the fun in that?" He chuckles with a crooked grin.

"What exactly are you going to do now that you have us all together?  Once Geroge and James cometo their senses youre hopelessly outnumbered.  Even if you could rally an army to rival ours, your screwed. So let us go, leave us alone, and we wont hunt you like the monster you are." I  feel the edge of the blade, its freezing hot.

"Well, I've already taken care of James and dear old Washington.  "He watches my expression.

"You killed them." I scoffed. "You murderd innocent people, they didn't even know what power they had and why you mattered to them. "

"There's that murder word," Aaron cringes and studies under his nails. Blood." I don't like that word, I prefer, saving them from what's coming. "

"I have a feeling they wouldn't want to miss your death." I scoff and grind my teeth.  He stands up and slowly strolls over to me. "And as for the rest of you, well, you'll be reunited with you beloved friends soon enough. "

"You're crazy." I snarl and my hand strikes forward, his hand wraps around it and eyes go cold. The skin starts to burn, so cold its burning.  I stifle a cry of pain and my knees lock.

"I could say the same about you George." His hand locks around my other wrist, the blade rattles on the floor and he  looks at it." I didn't think I'd ever see those again." He purrs. My eyes harden and the blades gone with a snap, back to Thomas.

"Well, you saw it.  But you'll never see it again." I smirk. He hisses and sticks  my cheek,I stagger back slam against the wall.

"I'll see it again, Thomas is bound to have one. I'll start with you, I'll kill each of your little friends one by one when I bring them into this room and take what I want.  With you picks gone, there's no one in my way!" He laughs.  My eyes widen and I duck from hid fist, his gust splinters the wood and freezes the wood.

His untamed wild eyes watch as I stagger across the room. I pant between my teeth as I study my wrist.  They'll scar severly if I live to see them healed.
