.novapdf.com) If you fight with Danaus for control over me again, it will destroy what little is left of mymind and potentially my body.That cannot help your goal.I sent the thought lashing outat Jabari as Danaus approached.Hand over Nicolai and we will leave.I had only secondsto get Jabari to acquiesce.The ring of fire wouldn t stop Danaus from returning to myside.If the hunter touched me again, I knew I wouldn t survive it.My arms weretrembling and my stomach felt as if it had been flipped inside out and dipped in acid.We re close.I wanted to asked what he meant by that, but there wasn t time.In truth, it didn t matter ifI understood.I was just the weapon, not the warrior. Enough! Jabari roared, surging to his feet.What seemed like a child crying in pain wasthe only sound in the room.Apparently, Danaus had done some serious damage to one ofthe harpies.There was a brief scraping and clacking of claws on stone and then the cryinggrew softer and fainter.I hesitantly lowered the flames so they were only a couple feet high and surrounded memore tightly, in a circle with a diameter of only a few feet.Danaus stopped a couple feetaway from me outside the flames, his knife still in hand, as we waited to hear what Jabarihad to say. Kill her, Jabari, Macaire ordered.His arms shook from where he tightly held the arms ofthe chair, barely managing to keep his seat.A horrid green light glowed in his eyes,burrowing into me through the flickering flames.A deep chuckle rumbled from Jabari and a cold smile slithered across his lean, hardfeatures.I had seen that expression once before.The warm, compassionate veneer hadbeen stripped away at the Themis Compound when he told me I was the weapon wieldedby the triad to stop the naturi.At least this time his icy amusement was directed atMacaire and not at me. You ve cried for her death since the second she was reborn.Jabari s words slithered like a poisonous snake into my ears and through the cells of mybrain, sending an uncontrollable shiver through my exhausted body.He had switched toour language; the first language spoken by nightwalkers, which was written in our veryblood.There was no learning it.A vampire was reborn fluent and afraid.No one spoke itwithout a good reason.Jabari most likely had something to say he didn t want the naturito understand. If you wish her dead, you must dirty your hands, because I m not through with her,Jabari continued, gracefully sitting back down in his chair. But remember last night sbloodbath.She s not without her own skills.And beside her stands an experienced hunterof our kind. It sounds as if you are afraid to attack her, Macaire taunted, also using the samelanguage.It didn t roll from his tongue with the same elegance, and I wondered if it wasbecause he was afraid of me and Jabari. No.And that was all he had to say.Jabari could destroy me without raising a finger and we allknew it.There was no fear, no hesitance.He would kill me when he was done using me. But she means to take your pet from you, Macaire said.There was no missing thedesperation that colored each word.He wouldn t be able to convince Jabari to doanything he didn t want to do.If Macaire wanted me dead, he was going to have to doCreate PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com) something about it himself. He was lost to me regardless of the outcome, Jabari said with an indifferent shrug.Hehad sent Nicolai knowing I would either kill him or claim him.Damn Jabari.After livingwith me for roughly a century, he had come to know me far too well.With a wave of his hand, one of the side doors slammed open, banging against the wall.Nicolai stepped into the room, his eyes quickly taking in all the players.The handsomewerewolf was wary, but exhaustion was starting to take its toll on him.His copperish-brown eyes were underlined with dark shadows and there was a day s growth of whiskerson his jaw and chin.He stood near the dais, not far from Jabari, struggling to stare blanklystraight ahead.However, he could either sense or hear the harpies overhead, his eyesoccasionally darting toward the dark shadows near the ceiling.There was only the soft drip of blood leaking from one of the harpies as it hit the marblefloor.Nicolai s and Danaus s heartbeats thundered in my head as I suddenly became awareof my growing hunger.My fight with Jabari and the other nightwalkers during the pasttwo nights had pushed me too far and I needed to feed again.Reluctantly, I doused the last of the flames, but remained kneeling on the floor, conservingthe last of my energy should I need it to escape this nightmare. If you can protect him, you may have him, Jabari conceded.There was no missing thecondescension in his tone.I d already failed to protect Tristan and he certainly didn tbelieve I would be able to protect Nicolai when the Elder chose to attack him.Pushing to my feet, I was surprised when I didn t sway once I was standing again, despitethe fact that my thoughts were coated in a thick layer of fog and pain and my bodyscreamed at every movement [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
