I am Broken

Chapter 13- Willow POV

          So much was running through my mind, but I didn’t understand why he would put Ricky’s life in danger unless he was bluffing, maybe he was testing me but I wasn’t sure if I could draw life from Jake, he was technically dead but he wasn’t completely dead, all I knew Is that maybe I had to try and he would stop all this madness and give Ricky back  to Mia, she remained still but horror was plastered across her face, she was loyal to Marcus and believed he would bring no harm to her baby but why would he do this for this man, this person who is well beyond saving.

           “Okay, okay please just give Ricky back, you are distressing Mia” Jake spoke before I could but he knew better than anyone this might not work and I had to make that clear “Marcus I will try but vampires have no life to take, they are already dead” I explained hoping to appease his anger but he returned with a chuckle “well I’m glad I now have your attention and now you know how serious I am about this, Jake is not completely vampire so try your best and I will hold on to my darling Ricky until I see some progress dear” I nodded at his demand and hoped that this wouldn’t hurt Jake.

        Jake and I walked over to the still body, it surprised me there was no smell but then I am no longer in a normal world, a smell could be easily hidden. I placed my hand in Jake’s as he gave me a reassuring look, it seemed he was okay with what about to happen if anything happens at all. I begin taking what life I could from Jake draining him, like he did me once when he drank my blood, I placed my hand on the body and began pulling one life to another.

         It was slowly working as the body began to take on a more human looking form but Jake, his legs were failing him as he was brought to his knees, I gasped but he looked at me wanting me to continue for the sake of Ricky and so I did, I did not stop until the body took its first breath and I felt Jake take his last “JAKE!!” I screamed as he fell from me, I no longer cared for that body and I had done what I could for Ricky, but I could not loose Jake again.

          His slow shallow breaths he usually took had stopped and he wasn’t even pale anymore he was grey “Jake please!” I grabbed his body and placed him in mine, I was going through this pain again and I wasn’t going to let him go this time, though the chaos of people trying to figure out what had happened and who this man was too, Marcus had given Ricky back and then collapsed but I didn’t care, the only one I cared for was in my arms “Jake, Jake? Please tell me how to make you better” a tear fell from eye and hit his cheek, but no words came from his lips, a fallen knife lay not far away from me, so I picked it up and brought it to my wrist.

           Through the pain I sliced it down hard, hard enough for blood to quickly flow, I placed the wound over his mouth and let the blood flow in, I watched closely as red liquid entered and travelled down his throat, I didn’t know any other way to make it work, I had to hope. But soon my hopes were answered as he leaned into wrist and bit down hard, but I didn’t fight, I held him close and let him take what he needed.

           Because I was to focused on Jake and his wellbeing, I had not noticed the chaos happening around me before it was too late, guards I hadn’t seen before surrounded us and pointed long iced swords at us and others, their faces were covered but they all faced in one direction, waiting for something. 

          We didn’t have to wait long to see what horrors ensured next, the once still body now sat and the eyes behind the mask stared straight at me, they had hunger and obsession in them and I didn’t like the feeling they gave me as I was draw to them, my head was confused as all I wanted to do was now be in his arms, but I knew it was wrong so wrong and so much danger came from those eyes.

          “Guards bring her to me” I didn’t have time to think before I was dragged away from a still weak Jake, “stop he needs me!” I shouted as I tried to drag my feet, but they were too strong, and I was face to face with the mystery man that has caused so much stir in this meal. “my dear, it’s been a lifetime since I have looked at you with these eyes” I didn’t understand and I didn’t care to learn either, so I remained silent.

           “Do you know how demons’ mate?” he asked and I shook my head in reply “I didn’t think you did, you see we don’t have a god or a goddess so we are not blessed with finding our most loved and cherished one but some of us are lucky and do find it, so we made our own mating ceremony with the help of some dark witches, we made it just as powerful as your wolf mates and just as sealed but there is one thing that ours has that no one else does” I sighed and dreaded asking “and what is that?” he chuckled “it brings out their darkness, as we are darkness its self its only right they should become their true dark self but something even better happens, you cannot fight the pull no matter what, other species have a choice but demons have none!!” his laughter echoed in the room and it took me a second to understand what he was saying.

             “I have already started the prosses by giving you my blood” he laughter still booming around the room “and how do you complete it?” I asked and I wished oh I wished it had not. “LIKE THIS!!”
