Bonded

Chapter 13

Lilith opened a door, walked into a small stone room, and smiled wickedly. Joshua laid naked, spread eagle on a bed with his hands and feet tied to the bedpost. Joshua turned his head and looked at Lilith. Fear ran down his spine and he trembled. Lilith shivered in delight as she noticed the fear on his face. She stepped close to him, ran a fingertip down his cheek and across his bare chest.

"Oh Joshua," Lilith whispered, "Are you ready to help me collect Sarah tonight."

"I...I will never he...help you." Joshua replied trying to sound brave, but the tremble in his voice betrayed him.

"Oh you are going to help me one way or another." Lilith said with a knowing smile on her blood red lips. "I will reward you greatly if you help me willing."

Lilith crawled onto the bed and straddled his hips. She rubbed herself against Joshua. She smiled as she felt his body respond. Lilith leaned over and pressed her body against his and then moved her hips slowly against his erection. Lilith smirked as Joshua groaned and gritted his teeth.

"If you do your part, I will reward you greatly. Who knows, you might even have Sarah." Lilith suggested as she licked the side of his neck and bit gently on his earlobe. She felt him tense at the mention of Sarah's name.

"I will not help you." Joshua said slowly trying to resist the temptation of her flesh, but he felt his hips move as she rubbed herself against him.

"Oh, Joshua," Lilith cooed sarcastically.

"Please stop." Joshua pleaded in a small voice and pulled at his restraints.

Lilith moved her underwear to the side. Joshua groaned and strained against his bonds as she felt he heat from between her legs. Lilith wiggled her hips letting his shaft slip between her lips, grinded her hips against his shaft.

"Don't you want to be deep in me again?" She whispered into his ear. "Can't you feel how wet I am for you right now. Your shaft is slippery with my juices."

"Get out of my head, you witch," Joshua cried out and started to sob, "Sarah forgive me."

"You are a pathetic little child." Lilith said sneering in disgust as she reached up, grabbing his hair and yanking his head back, "I guess I have to go with my other plan. That is too bad. I did wanted to have s*x with you one last time."

Joshua looked up in fear. Lilith reached behind her back and unsheathed a knife from the small of her back. She kept her hips pressed against his as she brought the knife close to his face.

"What are...you...going to do?" Joshua asked swallowing hard as he stared at the knife.

"Oh you will see or should I say not see." Lilith laughed.

"Sarah," whispered a voice in the darkness of the bedroom.

Sarah opened her eyes awoken by the whispering of her name. The darkness of the room greeted her sight. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and the room appeared empty. The blanket over the window caught her sight as it moved slightly, but the room remained silent and empty. Sarah furrowed her brow, thinking she did hear something whisper her name. She lied on her side and felt Adam's warm body pressed against her with his hand on her hip. The feeling of his body against her back reassured her and she moved closer to him.

'Maybe I was dreaming.' Sarah thought, but still felt uneasy.

Sarah swallowed feeling thirst. She shifted slightly not wanting to wake Adam, but she felt him tense as she moved.

"Is everything alright, Sarah?" Adam asked drowsy.

His hand slipped down and his fingers rested on her lower stomach. The contact caused Sarah to rub her thighs together. Adam sensing the movement kissed the nape of her neck and rubbed his hand along her lower stomach.

"I was thirsty and wanted to get something to drink." Sarah breathed out and bit her lower lip.

"Shall I get something for us?" Adam asked.

"No, I can get it." Sarah said and turned around so she faced him.

Sarah looked into his golden eyes and smiled. She saw the love that he felt for her through the ages. Living and dying throughout those, many years had been a hard burden to bear, but this time was different. Adam and Sarah were prepared for the outcome. They would defeat Celestia and her horde of witches.

'We have to make it through tomorrow.' Sarah thought as she cupped Adam's cheek, 'We must end this.'

"What are you thinking about, Sarah?" Adam asked as his ran his hand lightly up and down her spine.

"I can't believe that this will finally be over, but..." Sarah said coming out of her thoughts.

"But what Sarah?" Adam inquired as he pulled Sarah close.

The feeling of her warm soft body next to his excited him. Sarah felt his erection pressing against her stomach. She smiled feeling her body warm as she made contact with his hard lean body.

"I worry about Joshua and what Lilith might do to him." Sarah replied feeling a tear run down her cheek, "It is entirely my fault."

"Do not say such things, Sarah." Adam suggested, "You had no way of knowing what would happen. This is exactly what they want you to think."

"But what can I do?" Sarah cried out and tears ran down her cheeks. "Joshua needs to be saved."

"Samuel and I will save him." Adam said firmly, "Right now you are the one who needs to be kept safe. If they capture you..."

"I know." Sarah said sadly, "I hate that this has all been placed on us."

"We will face it together." Adam replied and wiped away the tears from her cheeks, "We must be strong for each other. We will stop the fallen from rising."

'God she is so beautiful.' Adam thought, 'I cannot lose her again.'

Sarah took a deep shuttering breath and kissed Adam on the lips. His words hit her deep in the heart. It filled her with a warm strength. They had to be strong for each other no matter what happened. Adam pulled Sarah tighter afraid to let go. After the long kiss, Sarah pulled back.

"I really want something to drink." Sarah replied, "I'm really thirsty."

Sarah disentangled herself from Adam and sat up. Adam rolled onto his back, propped himself up on his elbows planning to get up, but Sarah placed a hand on his chest.

"Rest love, I want you to keep the bed warm for me." Sarah smiled lightly kissing him on the lips.

Adam hesitated, "I should go down there with you Sarah." Adam argued.

"Your home is enchanted. I will be safe," reminded Sarah. She kept her hand on his chest, gently pushing him back down, "I will not be long."

"Hurry back love," Adam kissed Sarah, pulling her down on top of him.

"I plan to be back quickly," Sarah replied breaking the kiss and breathing heavily.

Sarah stood up and pulled on one of his shirts. Adam watched as she pulled the shirt over her slim body. The shirt enhanced her body and he wanted to take her right now. Sarah sensing his urge wriggled a finger at him and blew him a kiss. Adam watched as she walked downstairs enjoying the sight of seeing the lower part of her rounded bottom and slim legs.

He had a feeling of uneasiness as she left. His heart constricted as panic overtook him. He sat up in bed feeling his hair stand on end. The blanket over the broken window fluttered lightly. Adam gave the window a quizzically look.

'I don't hear or feel a breeze from outside.' Adam thought looking at the window oddly.

Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, Adam suddenly felt drowsy. Adam tried to stand, but his legs would not move. His head felt heavy as his body slumped back onto the bed. Adam gave one last attempt to sit up, but his body would not response. He tried to yell for Sarah, but his voice would not work.

'Get up Adam.' Adam thought gritting his teeth in frustration. 'Get up now.' Willing his body to move, but nothing happened.

Adam froze as he heard something crash below. Then he heard the front door open and a gasp. Then sleep overtook Adam and he passed out.

Sarah walked down the stairs, knowing that Adam watched her. She smiled feeling her body warm at the thought of his golden eyes watching her hungrily. Humming to herself in the kitchen, Sarah found a cup and poured a cup of cold tea. Placing the teapot back down on the stove, Sarah held the cup between the palms of her hands. She slowly rolled cup between her hands and took a sip of mint tea.

"Sarah." A hush whisper echoed lightly throughout the kitchen.

The whisper caused Sarah to jump. She dropped the cup and it shattered loudly on the wooden floor.

"Who's there?" Sarah whispered feeling fear crawl up her spine.

"Sarah." The voice whispered lightly throughout the room again.

Adam's cat growled hissing as it jumped on the table. Its fur standing up on end as it stared towards the front door. Sarah stood frozen in place, fear gripping her heart. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as the voice called out again.

"Sssaarrraaahhhh." The voice whispered, but this time it came from outside.

Shaking with fear, Sarah thought it would be best to go back upstairs, but the voice seemed to be pulling her towards the window. Sarah stepped towards the window near the front door. She felt a sharp pain in her right foot as she stepped forward.

"Ouch." Sarah hissed through gritted teeth feeling the sharp pain in her toe. Pulling her foot up Sarah saw a sliver of the broken cup in her toe. She pulled the sliver out of her toe noticing the blood well up from the cut.

The voice whispered her name again. Breathing heavily as her heart caught in her throat she placed the shard on the table and walked over to the window. Pulling back the curtain, she looked out onto the dark courtyard. The courtyard looked empty, and then the clouds moved allowing the moon light to fill the courtyard. Sarah gasped in fear and shock as the moonlight illuminated a person standing in the courtyard.

'Oh dear lord,' Sarah thought, 'Is that?'

Sarah could not see the face, but knew by the shape of the body that Joshua stood in that courtyard. The cat growled again, but Sarah did not hear the cat. She opened the front door and ran out into the courtyard. Sarah sensed something was not right with the situation. She slowed as alarm bells when off in her head.

She noticed something silvery running down Joshua's cheeks. Sarah stopped short in front of Joshua and gasped in horror. Her hand flew to her mouth to stifle the scream building up in her throat. The silvery stuff on Joshua's cheeks was blood. Joshua lifted his head staring at Sarah with empty eye sockets. The scream never made its way up Sarah's throat.

"Dear god," Sarah gasped, stepping backwards. 'What did they do to you?'

Sarah bumped against something solid and cold. Shaking in fear, Sarah slowly turned around and screamed. She saw the evil smile on blood red lips and the gleaming red eyes of Lilith standing before her.

"You have been a busy girl, Sarah." Lilith said in a whisper, "Your mom has missed you very much."

Sarah opened her mouth to scream again. A felt a sharp pain on the back of her head as light spots blossomed in her vision and then her vision when dark as she fell forward into Lilith's arms. Smiling Lilith laid the unconscious form of Sarah over Joshua's shoulder.

"Take her back to the Covent." Lilith ordered.

Joshua turned around and walked away out of Salem, towards the Covent. Lilith turned back towards the house.

"I want you to kill the man inside." Lilith ordered, but did not look at anyone.

Two figures appeared out of the night. As Lilith pointed towards the open door, the dark figures glided towards the open door. Lilith satisfied with how everything had gone to plan turned and vanished.
