13 "Let her go"

I knocked once then opened the door, "It’s tian had been given a chance to say her goodbyes to Wyatt A transporter had been alerted of Wyatt’s return Everything was set in place Soon, I’d have the eternity I’d always ith of the black dress Father had supplied for her to wear It was his way of showing Danked to now I knew she hated the fliree to so ue with hi her way to the door Thankful that she wasn’t going to put up a fight I held out my warm to escort her but she backed away and shook her head, "No, it’s not over yet You get Wyatt safely in a transporter’s hands and out of this place, then I’ll hold up my end of the deal"

She was stubborn but I wasn’t going to argue Instead, I nodded my head

"You lead the way," she said once ere in the hallway

"You know that Dankure he would be"

"You understand the io to him"

"Yes Leif, I know you’ll kill off everyone I love and suck their souls down here to live in fornication for all eternity Got it"

I loved her so fiercely but she could an, this isn’t about me I’ve told you this is my father It’s how he operates I can’t control hi I had to do in order for hiive Wyatt’s soul back And to be honest the only reason I think he agreed is because he sees entertaino to Dank you"

I noticed the door across the hall It opened slightly and two large brown eyes peered out The wide-eyed expression on Sabine’s face told an and I were having I had to focus on my problem at hand I’d deal with Sabine and her sister later

"Now please understand, no pain you have suffered is because I wanted it I never wanted you to hurt I always thought you’d want et anywhere near you your eyes look like they’ve caught on fire You’re supposed to want me But you don’t Instead you want hian It was never meant to be"

"Okay," was her simple reply

"Okay?"

"You heard o"

Well, that was easier than I’d expected With one last glance in Sabine’s nosy direction I turned and rowled at one of the Voodoo spirits as they gawked at Pagan’s body in the dress Father had made her wear

"May, dat is sumtin to see is it not," Father called out as he walked into the large foyer

"Don’t make her uncomfortable, Father," I pleaded

"Who me?" he asked in an amused voice I watched as he lifted his hand and placed two cigarettes in hison outside

I searched the onlookers for any sight of Sabine’s sister If I could find her now then once this was over I could help Sabine and her sister escape Then, it would be tian That is-- if we all survived Death’s fury

"Please an whispered desperately Confused I looked down at her then followed her gaze to see two of Father’s hareuys would enjoy that but I could see that Wyatt was uncoured out coe Father

"If I make a scene Father will then make it much worse If you don’t want to see one of those two ht here then don’t say a word Wyatt knows this That’s why he’s so still"

Silence fell over the wild streets and people began fleeing All the laughter and drinking ended as souls felt the presence of Death closing in on them

"Ah, Death draws near The fallen ‘ave run to hide," Father drawled and pulled the two cigarettes fro thean asked

"Dank is close The souls of the people in the streets felt hi to Death when he’s in his true forer Dank Walker but when he’s truly in Death’s form, they hide"
