Violet Foras

chapter 28

(All credit to the classical music soul check out their work.)

I followed the trail of blood and footsteps down the road and out of the parking lot of the hospital. After some time of following both the trails end at a church, it was located in the center of town with many buildings surrounding it. I was unsure if I can enter but I tried anyways. I went to the first step to the door, nothing, so I walk to the front two wooden doors. I placed my hand on the silver door handle and pulled it open.

I looked around and noticed that there was a black and dark blue shadow standing at the alter holding Rose by her neck. Her feet were a few inches off the ground, "Look who came to join us." It spoke out in a demonic tone that was deeper than my own. I stepped forward with a small purple flame in my left hand.

"Let her go." I said as I continued walking towarss them.

It chuckles, "I wouldn't take another step if i were you girl." He spoke once again. I looked over at Rose, blood was streaming down her face, an eye shut, busted lip and nose, her clothes ripped showing her struggling trying to break free.

I took a step back looking at her. 'Just go V. I'm not worth saving.' Rose thought to me.

I smirked 'Shut up Rose, I'm saving your life even if it kills me.'

My flame in my hand grew a few more inches, "not backing down I see?" He spoke as he tightened his grip around her neck. She begins to grab him by his mist like arm, her hand only falls through him.

'How should I do this? He doesn't have a solid form.' I thought as I stepped forward.

" V-Violet d-don't." Rose caughed out as she gasps for air.

"So this is Violet." He chuckles.

I glared at him, "so you know of me?" I asked.

"How could I not." He let's Rose fall to her knees, he walks down and stands face to face with me. He was tall, maybe 6'5" (i am 5'4". . . he would tower over me ._.) I had to look up at him, I took a step back as he approched me. His form begins to change, he fell to one knee and bows. "Forgive me master." He spoke in a more gentle soft tone.

"Master?" I repeated. "Oh dear not again." I added and walked over to Rose and extinguished my flame. I looked her over, "why did you hurt her?" I asked him as I looked over her wounds. they weren't severe but a couple could use some stitches.

He stood up, he had long white hair with a white goetee. His eyes were bright red, pale face. He had on black and grey armor, a giant sword that was attached to his side with a black belt and sheeft. The handle was a dragons claw, with red rhine stones surrounding the handle and claw.

"I was only following orders." He stood up and walked over to Rose and I.

I stood in front of her ignoring what he said, "don't you dare touch her again." I glared.

He smirks "I'm not going to hurt her master, I was actually planning on fixing the damage i made." I remained where I was standing and looked back at her she was rubbing her neck and wiping the blood away from her eye.

I stepped aside and let him do his work. "So why did you come here?" I paused for a moment then spoke again. "why did you try to kill her?" I asked as I watched him. He stretched his hand out to her, she backs up and pushed herself up as she holds onto my arm. "Im here now he won't hurt you." I spoke softly to her. "Why should i let him touch me after what he just did not even three minutes ago?"

"I came here for you." He paused and stood up. "As for her. . ." he looks at me then back at her. "To collect her soul." Rose jumped a bit and stepped away from us.

"You were going to do what to me now?!?" Rose yelled out in slight disgust. "If i had to, i would trust V with my soul." She adds before sitting down again with her hand on her head.

"You trust her?" His eyes widen in shock. He begins to laugh, "a mortal trusting a demon." He paused to laugh a bit more. "That, that is funny." He wipes a blood tear from his eye. "But in all seriousness you should forget you ever met violet." His laughter and his smile fades. "Maybe I can fix that." He walks over to us and stretched his hand out to her head she jumps back up before he could do anything I blocked him, "no you will not touch her again." My voice changed slightly.

"Is that an order?" He looks at me then Rose.

"Yes it is." I answered as I pulled her close to me letting her hold onto me for support.

He nods and steps back and falls silent with his head low. After a few minutes of silence Rose and I walked to a few chairs and sat down.

"So you never told me your name and who sent you?" I asked him breaking the silence between us three.

"Right, my name Darius. I can't tell you the name but i can tell you I was only following a simple order." He looks at me with a dead serious look. "The one who sent me will not be happy when i return."

He walks to the front doors of the church. "But i must get going." He paused to stretch. "I haven't been here since the very first war between the angles and the demons, I think ill stick around for a bit." He chuckles. "Well I'm off, I'll see you quite soon." I watched him walk out forming back into the balck mist.

I grabbed Roses hand, "I'm sorry Rose." She smiles and hugs me tightly.

"Don't be sorry, I chose to be with you." She released me from her hug and kissed my cheek. I used a simple healing chant and watched her blood absorbed through her skin and her busted lip and nose healed slowly.

After it was complete I looked at her for moment then spoke softly, "Let's go home." I brought up a portal beside us.

"I'm starving let's get some chinese food." She says while we stepped through the portal.

I chuckled softly "Ok, but it's my treat so keep that wallet in your pocket."
