Semua Bab Darkness: Bab 81 - Bab 90

I woke up slowly. My stomach felt tight. I could feel the new skin that knitted across it pull as I stretched out my cramped legs. I opened my eyes to the gloomy dungeon. I had no idea what time it was. The wall sconces were still on, so everything looked how it had been when I'd fallen asleep.I slowly stood and stretched again. I started pacing in my cell one step at a time. I wondered if Mr. Kline would bring me food. I wonder if Liam was okay. I wondered if anyone was coming to get me. I stopped. I still had power. I could get out of here. I faced the grated iron and placed my hands on it. I summoned power to my fingertips."Open."My pink power sparked under my fingertips, sending a painful jolt to my heart. I flew across the cell and hit the stone wall. I slid down it like a swatted bug. I gasped in a breath as my heart sped."Okay, no magic then," I said to myself."Reveal," I commanded. My daggers slipped from my skin to my hands. I slashed them at the grate. Their metal c

I pulled at his black aura. I sucked all his magic from him. I took every last ounce. His face went slack with pleasure. I didn't look down. I didn't want to see what it did to him. But I was merciless. I took it all. I took every last ounce of the black aura, but I didn't stop. I didn't want to. I wanted all of it. I wanted to make sure he never hurt another person again. He couldn't have any power left. Never again.His body leaned against my hand. I pushed him away. He fell back then slumped into a heap at my feet. His eyes stared up at the ceiling. I froze. What had I done? I saw no aura coming off of him. He wasn't moving. He lay in a sprawl across the floor with a yellow smock and some cum stained kakis. I tried not to look, but it was impossible not to see the huge mess he'd released because of my power. I grimaced. I made him do that. Gross.I took a step forward then very slowly pressed two fingers to his throat. There was no pulse. He was dead. I had killed him. My heart sp

Liam picked me up again, this time cradling me in his arms. He marched up three flights of stairs into my new apartment. Anton sat on the couch, watching television."Oh, hey, you're back. Everyone's been looking for you," Anton said.My eyebrows rose so high I thought they were going to fly off my head. I really couldn't believe him right now. I gave him the finger as Liam walked us by."What's that for?" Anton asked."I can see why you passed on him as a leader," I said as Liam climbed one more set of stairs to my room.My room was completely unpacked. The cubes were set up and filled. The bed was made. Everything looked clean and spotless. It was so spacious. I guess I really didn't have that much stuff after all.Liam set me on the bed. "I'll stand guard. I'll just be outside."I grabbed his jacket and shook my head. I felt like a little kid, but I couldn't help it. "Please. I've never felt so powerless. I'd never felt like a victim before, and I really needed someone I trus

Slowly, my mind came back down to settle in my body. Liam's head hung resting next to my head on the pillow. He still held his massive form up above me to keep from crushing me. He was breathing hard. I ran my hand over his cheek. He was hot and sweating. Was that normal? He'd always been cold to the touch, but now he almost seemed a human temperature. I pressed a kiss onto his other cheek.He tiled his head to look at me. "Thank you for using your power. I thought I was going to hurt you."I smirked. "I didn't. And you didn't hurt me."He leaned on one elbow as his other hand came up to the bite on my neck. "I did." His hands came away bloody.I shook my head. "You didn't."He rolled to the side. My body tightened in pleasure as he moved out of me. I could see him squeeze his eyes shut with the same satisfaction. He settled in next to me."What do orc girls do now?"His hands traced my skin across my stomach."Orc females would punch me in the face to show dominance and then w

The noise from the bar seeped in through the closed door. I rubbed at my eyes. I looked at the clock. I had been sitting here almost all day trying to figure this stuff out, but I think I finally had some success. I located an inventory that was separated out by drink and calculated by the bottle. I saw where the current inventory was updated each week. From there, I extrapolated a list and made the order online. I tapped the enter button, and everything was done.I sat back in the chair. I was tired but finally felt like I accomplished something. It had been a long time since I had been challenged like that. Maybe the last time was when Kira was working through the book trying to figure out runes. I never did find that book again. I needed to get my hands on some more books like that. The internet was not a great source. Maybe there was still a stock in Utah if that home still existed.The thought of even going outside made my stomach do a flip flop. What if Mr. Kline was out there?
