Chapter 106: LOVE IS WAR

I swung the sword and with the tip of the blade, I pierced the side of her waist… “Argh”…. Cristina wailed from the pain she was feeling. The sword is dipped in Mercury. She gathered all her strength because I just weakened her.

“Dammit Cristina, look around you. All your Bampires are dying. You are willing to bleed your creation to take something that is not yours and you don’t have a right to.”

Cristina

Juju overpowered me. She could have killed me, but she did not. She said My punishment is to live with the image and memory of what I have done and the damage I have caused. LB and Jessblue were able to kill the majority of the newborns and the remaining had retreated away from the fight with Trey. Leaving me alone and defeated. As I watch around me, I see the dead bodies of two species that never should have been in this predicament. The loss of innocent wolfs and Bampires that should have never had to fight this war. All this killing for what? To save someone who is already deceased. The scene that is in front of my eyes is like no other I have ever seen. Why I am here? I am ready to let go. I lost this battle, but I am at peace knowing that I am dying, fighting for the love I so wanted back. Since I cannot bring you to me. Then I am going to bring myself to you Guy. I take the gun I have in my hand that I took from one of the wolves I killed, with the mercury bullet inside the chamber. I aim it towards my temple, and I close my eyes ready to pull the trigger, when suddenly, I feel a sharp pain pierce through my heart. When I open my eyes, I see Trey standing before me, piercing a knife straight through my heart, dipped in Mercury. I can feel the effect of the poison flowing through me. He is smiling at me.

“I told you, Cristina, that you would regret this. You think I was just going to give you up and allow you to bring him back? Which we all already knew it could not be done. But if you will leave this earth, then you will leave it dying in my hands, from my weapon. You used me like I was your puppet when all I did was love you. All you needed to do was love me back. I would have given you the world as long as you gave me your heart! Now, I will take your heart myself and poison it. I will also punish your son Cristina. Boy will never see my daughter ever again. She is on a ship heading far away from here. You have taught me never to trust and love someone again. You were supposed to be mine forever. Goodbye Cristina and may the devil take your soul for all eternity.” Trey pushed the knife deeper into my heart. Before releasing his grip and letting me go to run away. My head hits the ground, and my mind begins to flash all the memories in my head of our son and us. My head hits the ground, and my mind begins to flash all the memories in my head of our son and us. The reason I lost this battle and did not fight Trey is that I am at peace knowing that I am dying, that I fought for the love I so truly wanted back. I cannot bring you to me, but I will get to you.

I feel myself fading away. It is almost time. But first, I must tell Boy what Trey had done to Destiny and do what I never did before. I mind Linked Boy.

Boy

I was home worried because I still have not heard from Des, since I last saw her yesterday afternoon. Our links were still blocked. Morpheus has been causing hell inside me with concerns and worries about our mate. Fuck he might have been right all along about the letter not being hers. I was trying to listen to my mother for once. I throw myself on the bed, rubbing my temples when I feel my mother trying to mind link me. Which means something is wrong and trouble is coming. I sit up and prepare myself for whatever it is she is going to say to me.

“My son you must hurry and find Destiny. Trey betrayed us. He wanted me to love him by force. I won't and cannot love another Bampire or person. He went mad and kidnapped Destiny. He said she is on a ship. Heading to where, I have no idea son, but you must go to every port and find her before it is too late. Please do not come to me, son. Ahh…”

I got up so fast and headed out running through the forest as I continued to listen to my mother. I let Morpheus out and together we were on a mission to find our mate.

“Mom, what do you mean he kidnapped her?”

“To punish me he is punishing you. He took her. She is his prisoner.”

“I told you Boy; she was in trouble.”

“Shit... Morpheus. What if we are too late?”

“We will find her and when we do, we will find Trey, where I will rip his heart out and feed it to you.”

“I will hold you to that Morpheus because not even Lucifer himself will be able to help him.”

Shit, my mom sounds hurt bad, but she does not want me to go to her, but instead, find my mate. She is coming in through the mind link again. “Mom, what is wrong? Please talk to me. You sound gravely injured.”

Cristina

“Boy, know that I love you, and I always will. Trey stabbed and poisoned me with Mercury. Love and betrayal can make a Bampire go mad. I should know. But it is time for me to be with your father.”

“No, Mom don't … do not say you are dying. Please don't leave me yet.”

It is all right, son. It is better this way. No one else will get hurt or die because of me. I have destroyed lives for my selfishness, and I tried to bring him back to us. But I failed. So, before I leave this world, my son. I will finally name you so you can continue your father's family name. He would be so proud of the Bampire you have become. Take care of yourself and know that you have a family that loves you and Destiny that will never leave your side. Find her and kill Trey. Goodbye, Marcus Schwartz… My son...... You will forever be in my heart.” My eyes finally close, and everything turns silent.

The End…
