Be Careful When You Bite Me

Chapter 46

"Everything they have done has been because of me," Damon replied," you pride yourself on being fair

and I am offering myself to you with no fuss."

Ameera let out a growl, her face forming into a scowl," they killed a member of my pack, a wolf-"

"Who attacked them first-"

"They were breaking the law!" She shouted over his voice," they had no business being at that church!"

"Enough!" Isla screamed out. She dug his nails deeper into Xavier's chest and he groaned out in pain.

His eyes were beginning to shut and I heard the sound of Asia's sobbing.

"Stop!" Damon shouted," let him go!"

"Make me," Isla challenged.

Damon was quicker than my eyes. He sprinted for Isla and chucked her body, flinging her back towards

the stone fence of the garden. She landed with a thud strong enough to have killed her had she been

human. Xavier fell to his knees and Asia rushed to his side.

Isla got back up and sprinted towards Damon, her nails still extended in the shape of a sword, aiming

right for Damon's heart.

She was able to stab him closer to the neck and the sight was painful enough to make my knees weak.

Damon twisted on her fingers, inching them away from his body but it was clear that she was too

strong. She kicked up in the gut and send him tumbling backward.

Damon was now on the ground, clutching his bleeding wound. Isla placed her sharp nail on the top of

his forehead and dug it slightly," Vesto said don't make a scene, you're going to pay for this."

Faster than light, Isla was behind me, her hands gripping me tightly in a headlock. I gasped for air now

unable to breathe and clung to her arms trying to pry them away from her.

"Damon!" I screamed out in pain as she pulled me tighter. I began to choke. Isla reached up and untied

the ribbon of my mask behind my head, letting it fall to the ground.

Damon's eyes widened in anger and he stood up, despite the fact that he was still bleeding.

His fangs extended and dug into his lips.

"Careful," She said, her words hot on my ear," it would be so easy for me to snap her neck in two."

"Enough games," said Aboot.

He sprinted to where Damon was standing. He wrapped his arms around his neck and gazed towards

Vesto," say the words."

"Let him go," said Aboot," let her go also."

Isla immediately released me from her grip and I fell to the ground clutching my neck and trying to

catch my breath. Damon rushed to my side and helped me sit up. I was able to catch sight of his eyes

that looked both guilty and angry.

He cradled me in his lap until I was finally able to breathe.

He helped me back up until we were both standing.

"I must admit," Vesto began," when I found out that my prison was broken into by a half-witch half-

human, it hurt my pride." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Vesto was now looking at me in a way that made Damon growl. I could feel his body shake. I placed

my hand above his in an attempt to calm him down.

Vesto continued," it would be too easy if you obeyed and let me take you back to that prison

anyway...it's boring."

He began to stroll in front of us," I want you to give me a challenge Damon, make me feel young again,

I have a deal to propose."

"What?" Damon snapped.

"I challenge you to run," Vesto's eyes sparkled with a hint of something dangerous," and if I don't find

you within...one year, you and your friends are free."

Damon remained silent for a couple of seconds before replying," and if you find me?"

Vesto smirked," then you're all mine."

Damon shared a glance with Xavier who was now standing side by side with Asia. His wound had

drenched both his and Asia's outfit in blood. His face remained blank.

Damon looked back at Vesto," deal."

The ride back to New York was long and silent. Damon drove and I sat in the driver's seat. Xavier was

in the back with Asia who was still freaking out.

"We have to take him to Luna's," she insisted," she needs to help him-"

"Isla didn't pierce his heart, he just needs to feed," Damon replied.

"But-" Asia began but Xavier cut her off.

"He's right," Xavier said," I need blood, take me to the hospital on the corner 58th street, I gotta buddy

that'll help us out."

"We're still an hour away," Asia said and gripped on his hands, "I'm right here, it's okay, bite me."

Xavier shut his eyes and remained silent. His fangs had already extended into his lips.

"Damon stop the car," Asia instructed.

"Don't," Xavier snapped," I can wait-"

"No you can't, you're hurt, Damon, stop the car."

Damon glanced at me as if looking for an answer on what to do. I could relate to Asia's situation,

especially having been in it twice now. I know what it felt like to want the man you love to be okay. That

feeling of frantic and panic can make you go crazy. I nodded at Damon. He began to slow the car down

and Xavier began to growl," I said no!"

Once the car had stopped, Asia nipped herself in the neck, reopening the healing wound that the wolf

had given her. Droplets of blood began to drip down her neck and aha temped Xavier by moving closer

to him.

I couldn't watch as I felt as if I were invading their privacy, but I also knew we couldn't leave them alone

in case he loses himself.

I winced when I heard Asia scream out. Damon looked uncomfortable and I knew that was because he

felt guilty having done that to me. I reached out and held his hand. His gaze softened when he looked

at me. I sent him a reassuring smile. Asia had gone quiet in the back, I turned to see that she looked

like she was on the verge of passing out.

Damon reached back to place a hand on his brother's chest," Xavier, enough," he demanded but his

brother couldn't hear him. Damon cursed and stepped out of the car. I tried to tap Asia on the face in

hopes of waking her up but had no luck.

Damon flung the door to the side of the car and began dragging his brother. When Xavier finally let go

of Asia, she fell back against the seat.

"She needs water," I said to Damon but he couldn't hear me, he was busy with his brother.

"Asia," I tapped on her face again," Asia, wake up."

Damon knocked on the window and I opened my door. In his hands was a bottle of water that I

wondered where he had gotten from. I didn't ask a question, instead, I untwisted the cap and poured it

on Asia's face who luckily began to awaken.

"Is he okay," she gasped out. I nodded and smiled sadly," he's okay."

When we finally got back to Asia's place, she disappeared into the room with her mate, leaving Damon

and me in the living room. We stared at each other before I said," I'm going to go change."

He merely nodded and watched me go.

In my room, I struggled to get the dress off of me. I stepped away from the blood and dirt-stained gown

and went into the bath. I watched as the dirty water washed away any signs of today. I didn't know

where to start to feel with my emotions. I had no idea what it meant for Damon now that he was

supposedly on the run. His life for the next year is going to be hell. I wondered about where he will go

or who he will meet. I never for once feared that he would be found before then, but if he does, is that

an automatic death sentence for Asia, Xavier and I? Part of me wondered if I was the reason for all of

this, and if I never had entered their lives, maybe Damon would have been king by now, and Xavier and

Asia would still be here, happy and together. I felt a tear slide down my face and was quickly drowned

away. Part of me was beginning to feel miserable, the separation anxiety from having to stay away from

Damon for an entire year felt almost impossible. It was hard to imagine being away from him for a day

let alone 365 of them. I didn't want to wonder every day if he was alright, or if he still remembered me. I

didn't want to have to worry about him. I shut my eyes and let the water runoff from my face. I tried to

picture him here with me, holding me, whispering in my ear that it's all going to be alright. I was

snapped back to reality when I heard the door open. The glass door from the stand-up shower was

foggy with the smoke from the heat of the water. I wiped a section so I could see who it was at the

door.

Damon.
