In the Blood of a Witch

Chapter 11- My knight in shining armor.

Chapter 11- My knight in shining armor.

The knock at my door startled me, but I did not get up to answer it. I did not wait for the voices to cry my name, to try to save me.

I was numb and done.

This War was ridiculous, I had already lost so many people and it had not even started. I leaned up against my wall, bawling. Crying, drowning in my tears and sorrow. Suffering from the pain in my heart, telling me that my brother was gone and he was never coming back.

Screams spilled from my mouth, filling the night air. The grief was disgusting; it meant that I was weak...again. My life was slow motion, the pain was everlasting, lingering.

I turned my head towards the pounding door. "Leave me alone," I shrieked behind the tears.

Lynus knocked the door down.

"Get out!" I sobbed. I stood up and found the nearest object then sent it hurdling towards his head with incredible speed and force. He dodged it and continued to rush towards me. Before I could find anything else to chunck at him, he had me enveloped in his bulky arms.

I brought my fist down onto his back with as much strength as I could conjure, trying to get away and escape. "Let go of me," I howled but Lynus wrapped me tighter. I did not feel good, being held by someone you despised. I felt vulnerable and weak but Lynus was all I had right now. He was trying to comfort me and to help me find peace.

I placed my hands on his chest in defeat. Still wailing and still miserable. He ran his fingers through my hair whispering to me. "It's okay Bristol," "I'm here now," "Let it out, cry."

So I did, I cried until I could not cry any longer, right there in Lynus's arms, wrapped in his warm grip, enveloped in his obvious comfort and surrounded by his sorrow as well.  I backed out of his arms first and he took that as his signal to leave. He started to speak but immediately rethought the idea, walking out of my room with his head hanging low and tears glistening on his cheeks.

He was beautiful and magnificent and the tears did not take away one ounce of his manliness.

I was in my room, alone, again and I hated it. I rushed out of my room trying to find Lynus. In his arms I actually felt safe, something I had not in a while. I knew that Lynus had Brooke, but I did not care. I needed him, and I needed him now.

I found him leaning against the same tree where we had shared our first kiss. The same tree, Brooke rudely showed up and took Lynus away from me. My imagination danced with wild ideas to greet him. I could run up and kiss him or jump into his arms. I could squeeze him so hard, or wrap myself in his arms.

However, I was a coward and he was in a relationship with Brooke...well, I was not quite sure if it was a relationship, but still, Brooke was in the picture. With all of that in mind, I stuck to a simple "Hey."

Lynus gave me one look and that look alone was enough to make my head spin. "What are you doing here?" He whispered as he scratched his arm.

"I had to find you," I said taking his hand. His fingers interlocked in mine and I could feel him staring at me as I looked up at the moon.  Lynus was silent; you could only hear his steady breathing. I broke the silence, meeting his gaze and throwing everything out of my mind.

I cleared my thoughts of Blake and Bladeit, of the War, the Elders, Jeremiah and my protection spell. I allowed one thought only inside of my mind and that was Lynus. For the first time ever I noticed the light freckles that trailed over his nose, they were almost invisible against his dark skin but being so close to him I could see them.

I broke the stare session to look at his luscious lips. They were so plump and so inviting. My heart started racing and my mouth was dry. I was so focused on his lips meeting mine that I did not hear Lynus when he spoke until he repeated it a second time. "I don't love Brooke anymore Bristol. That was so long ago, I never thought I could feel the passion and the love the way I do about someone other than her but I do and that person-,"

I groaned in disbelief, shaking my head. "Whatever."

He finally met my eyes with so much sadness and regret behind them it was disgusting. "Don't be mad," he whispered, walking towards me.

I closed my eyes and breathed in a gulp of the crisp night air allowing my senses to become alert. I wondered if Lynus heart was beating as fast as mine was or if the fire of desire had settled in the pit of his stomach as mine had.

When I opened my eyes, I was alone again. There was no trace of Lynus, no proof that he had been here. I dropped to my knees silently begging Brilai to let me be with my brother.

I could not take it anymore.
