Jade took a step back. The blatant sexuality in his eyes was hard to miss, and though she could feel the same desire rising in the pit of her own belly, fear overwhelmed her. The last time this man had touched her, she had been forced to endure immeasurable amounts of pain and her mind had been torn apart with reckless abandon.<br/><br/>Her arm burned where her birthmark - the six pointed star on the inside of her left wrist - was glowing faintly.<br/><br/>"No." She said, turning and running from the room. She heard him call after her, but she didn't stop or turn back. He terrified her. He, who she had been born and raised to kill, was the most terrifying person she had ever met. Even more so than the man who called himself her father.<br/><br/>Making her way through the halls, she at last came to a set of doors that she had not seen before when River had guided her through the palace. Silently praying that they led outside, she threw the doors open and fled outside. She ran blindly, not knowing where her footsteps were leading her, until she could run no more. She threw herself on the ground beneath a weeping willow tree and tried to catch her breath.<br/><br/>She couldn't, wouldn't, allow herself to fall prey to him. No matter how much her body wanted him.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Vivian stormed into the training area. Her eyes were a whirlwind of fury. "What the fuck did you do to her?" She demanded, pushing him back a step. The anger that lit up in her eyes did not cow her. "What did you do?" She yelled again, louder this time. "I'll fucking kill you!" She raised her arms, preparing to cast some terrible curse on him, but her mind was racing too fast for her to think of something terrible enough to cast on him.
