His Felicity, His Happiness

Untitled Part 12

Felicity looked at Sah-Him with terror and mouthed "Ray". His eyes hardened and he whispered in her ear, "Open the door but don't let him in. I will stay right here."

She nodded and then opened the door. Ray looked at her with a possessive look as she glared at him. "What are you doing here Ray?"

He placed his hand against the doorjamb. "I came by to check on you. Your co-workers said that you have been gone for weeks with no word or warning." He tried to look into her apartment but she was not budging.

"How the hell did you get out of jail?", she asked. Her body was shaking, he made her nervous.

He smiled a cold smile, "Oh sweetheart. I now a lot of people in this town." He paused, "So are you going to invite me in?"

"Hell no!", she said, and he smirked.

"Where have you been?" He tried to sound casual but she could hear the possessiveness in his voice.

"That is none of your business. And how did you know I was home?", she asked suspiciously.

"I have had my eye on you since we broke up babe! I have to make sure you are safe." He tried to move forward into the room, but Felicity stayed right where she was and didn't move an inch.

"Go away and leave me alone Ray or I will call the cops again!!" She felt Sah-Him tense beside her and it calmed her just a bit.

Ray's eyes hardened. "I care about you Felicity! Why would you say something like that?" He moved into the doorway more and when she tried to close the door, he grabbed the door and pushed shoving her back. She stumbled and quicker than she could blink Sah-Him had Ray by the throat and shoved up against the door.

She could see the fear in Ray's eyes and felt a small bit of satisfaction.

"Who.......who are you?", he gasped.

Sah-Him's grip tightened and Ray's face started to turn red. "Someone who has been waiting to meet you Ray." Sah-Him's voice was deadly and Ray's eyes turned to Felicity.

"Baby, tell him to let me go.", he squeaked. Felicity's eyes narrowed and she took a step toward him.

"I am NOT your baby." Ray's eyes flew between Sah-Him and Felicity and Sah-Him released his grip, but only slightly. Ray started to panic.

"If you don't let me go, I will call the police and press assault charges.", he said and Sah-Him smirked.

"Call your police. They cannot touch me. We would be gone before they could even set foot near this place." Sah-Him said, and turned his head toward Felicity.

"What do you want me to with him my love? Put an arrow through each one of his extremities, or one place in particular?" Sah-Him's eyes drifted down toward Ray's crotch, and Ray started squirming. His face was so red, he could not speak.

Felicity looked at Ray, the man who said he loved her but only hurt her over and over. "You can let him go Sah-Him. He is not worth your time or energy."

Sah-Him released Ray immediately, letting Ray fall to the ground. But he kept his stance between Ray and Felicity, the lethal look in his eyes keeping Ray in his place.

Felicity walked forward, she placed a hand on Sah-Him's arm as she moved forward, and despite his instincts he stepped aside for her but did not leave her side.

Felicity glared at Ray and then punched him dead in the face. His head flew to the side as he turned back to her anger flaring in his eyes.

"You will regret that Felicity.", he said. Felicity turned to Sah-Him, completely ignoring Ray. She looked into his eyes and he could see the pain and the resignation. Sah-Him smiled a cold smile. He knew what she wanted him to do. He stepped back.

"You are free to leave now Ray.", she said and then turned and walked out of the room.

Ray looked at Sah-Him, and then opened the door.

"This is not over Felicity!", he yelled and then slammed the door behind him. Sah-Him waited a couple of minutes before he followed behind him.

They would find Ray's body five days later, his body riddled with black arrows. The one in his crotch having been placed there by a hand, not by a bow.

Sah-Him quietly entered Felicity's apartment and walked to the bedroom. She looked up as he walked in and seeing his eyes she knew what he had done, what her eyes had asked him to do. She walked over to him and took his hands in hers, leading him to the bathroom. Sah-Him watched her with affection as she walked him to the sink and started to wash his hands. His eyes closed as his heart swelled.

He loved her so much. There was nothing he wouldn't do for her. Even kill!

She took a towel and dried his hands and looked up into his eyes. "He can't hurt you anymore Felicity.", was all he said.

He pulled her into his arms and placing her arms around his waist she clung tightly to him. The memories of Ray and how he had hurt her slowly washing away.

"I want to show you my Mom's box.", she said pulling back. She wanted to share with him her best memories. She led him over to the bed and taking the box from the table sat down and opened the lid. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her mother's things. She pulled out the first item that was laying on top and handed it to Sah-Him.

"This is my mother!" Sah-Him looked at a picture of a blonde haired, blue eyed Felicity with her Mother. Young Felicity had a smile on her face and was looking up at her mother as if she hung the moon.

"She was beautiful!", he said, handing her the picture. Felicity glanced at it again.

"Yes, she was!"

She placed the picture back inside and took out a cloth. It was a beautiful red scarve with green striping. Felicity smiled.

"This was her scarf. She used to wear this in winter. I gave it to her for Christmas and she always told me that she wished it was cold all year round so she could wear it every day."

Felicity showed him a few more trinkets and she looked at him with a soft smile. "These things make me happy. They remind me of how much she loved me."

"I am glad we came back for them my love!", Sah-Him said and kissed her lips. "Because my job for the rest of your life is to make you as happy as you make me."

Felicity placed the lid back on the box and then moved into his embrace. He held her close and smiled into her hair.

Tomorrow they would go home!
