He occupied himself with making coffee while Carine spoke to the young family who had come to get a dog. Trying to dispel the darkness that Paul had brought out, he shook as he forced the dark thoughts back. It had surprised even him how his darker side had reacted when Paul had been unkind to Carine, snapping to the front of his consciousness and ready to devour.

Yet there had been a subtle difference to his darkness that he had never expected. While his dark half was always ready to kill and maim and injure, this time he had felt a difference. It had felt as if it was protective of Carine. As if it cared about her as much as his human side was beginning to. He frowned as he poured hot water, wondering over the change. The darker side of his personality had never cared about anyone before, mainly concentrating on anger, hate and violence.

What does it mean? He asked himself, stirring the coffee. Is this because of her? I have never felt about anyone in the same way as I have with Car

  • Shadows Of The Heart   Fifty-Two

    Carine felt her nausea rise as Lilibet rushed the pair, clinging to one like a limpet and devouring his life force as she watched. Lacrise casually grabbed the other elf and snapped his neck as if it were a match. The crack resounded from the stone walls numerous times before it faded.Carine swallowed several times to stop herself from vomiting at the awful sight of Lilibet sucking the elf dry and turned, burying her face in Vanadine’s chest. His arms came about her and stroked her back.Lacrise and Lilibet dragged the corpses away, hiding them before returning to the group as if nothing had happened.It’s my fault. Carine realised as her sickness was replaced with guilt. I brought these women here. I said they could kill…Her thoughts were interrupted by Vanadine guiding her to one side.“This isn’t your fault,” he said as if reading her thoughts. “The only ones to blame are the three bastards that took them, took you. You’re not to blame for any of this. Blame me if you have to bla

    They had moved under cover of darkness, walking silently along quiet passageways and hiding in empty rooms when the occasional night worker headed their way. Vanadine was unaware of their destination as Horann led them while Marrin made sure any room they entered was unoccupied. The four of them had been forced to turn back several times in order to avoid servants or guards performing their tasks.Eventually Vanadine followed Horann down into the lowest level before they would be back in the carved tunnels, heading towards an area that was part corridor, part living space. A single, old elf lay on a straw mattress, several personal items surrounding him. A chair and table had been placed against the wall, a single lamp burning low to provide light.Horann turned and gestured for them to wait and Vanadine watched as she crept over to the sleeping elf and casually strangled him into unconsciousness. He glanced at Carine to gauge her reaction but she did not seem bothered by the act at a

    She could feel the rough texture of his skin as she held his hands to her temples. Her breathing and heartbeat quickened in anticipation and fright.Is this going to hurt? Am I going to die?If you do it’s better that it’s Vanadine who will be the one to end you and not those fuckers on the Council.Carine swallowed as Vanadine began speaking strange words, his eyes closing as he prepared to drain her life force.What the fuck am I doing? She thought desperately.Thought was impossible then as a deep sucking sensation tugged at her brain. It felt pleasant to begin with but as the process continued it started to become uncomfortable and then downright horrific. Her vision faded, as if a mist had formed around her, deepening into a fog as she stared at Vanadine. His eyes were closed, his face relaxed as he sucked the life from her as if he had not a care in the world. A thought flickered across her mind...mistake...Yet it was lost in the maelstrom of exhaustion and overwhelming weakne

  • Shadows Of The Heart   Forty-Nine - Vanadine

    The two halves of him, only recently united, seemed to split once more.There’s no way you can even consider this. One part said. This is Carine we’re talking about here. What’s it going to do to you if you kill her?Yeah, but if you don’t do it and she dies anyway, how’s that going to make you feel? Knowing there was something you could have done and didn’t out of fear?The thoughts swirled inside his head as he recalled the first and only time he had used this power.***The fight had been brutal. Horann had picked a better known establishment this time, the Gilded Knave being frequented by slightly more affluent patrons than the dives she usually picked.It had been a shock to Vanadine when the fight broke out as she had led him to believe they were simply there for drinks and a meal. Horann had drifted over to the bar, elves watching her ass as she swayed through the crowd. Vanadine had continued his simple meal until he had heard the shouting..When he saw some of the elves pulli

    Oh, fucking what now? She moaned in her mind as she heard the words Horann said.“There is increased activity among the guards, they are searching the citadel. It will only be a matter of time before they descend down here.”“They must know you have escaped,” Marrin said in a timid voice.“That was my assumption,” Horann agreed.“So what are we going to do?” Carine asked, nervously. “Vanadine can’t go anywhere and there’s no way we can fight off guards.”“Unless you have an army,” Horann said.“Actually…” Carine said after a few minutes thought.A groan came from Vanadine as he struggled up to sit against the wall, panting, pale and with a sheen of sweat covering him.“Van…” Carine began.With a massive effort of will and an obvious amount of pain, she watched in anguish as he got his legs under himself and tried to stand. Carine rushed to his side and placed one of his arms over her shoulder, helping him take some of the weight. He stood there, panting with his eyes squeezed shut, a

    Guilt ate at him as he relayed his tale to Carine. She was overjoyed to hear Laura was all right but concern clouded her face when she heard about Tony, Tommy and the bomb.“You could have been killed,” she said without malice or accusation.“There was no other way to get through the thin without getting caught,” he said sadly. “I hate that I had to kill so many but there wasn’t much time to get to you before…” He looked away, unwilling to see her face when he asked his next question. “Did anyone..?”“No, babe,” Carine said. “Adnanter would have if Marrin hadn’t helped me escape but no, it was all threats.”“You said he saw you naked,” Vanadine said with anger and misery swelling in his chest.“Yeah but I didn’t think there was any kind of attraction there,” Carine said, pressing herself more tightly against him. “It would be a means to an end with him. He looked at me like I was less than, if that makes sense. Like an animal, cattle. He would have used me but I doubt there would have
