and
Rum, she thanked him and took a sip. He sat it behind her on the bar when she
was done sipping. He pulled her closer to him and turned her head.
    “I’m glad you’re up here with me.” In this case so was she.
Be up here with him or be down in the arena with whatever the hell Buck was.
“Me too.” She said quietly. He smiled softly and started to kiss her. She
expected him to pull away when the next round started but he only deepened it.
    He pulled away and grinned at her trying to get her
bearings as the third round ended like the others had. He had kissed her during
people screaming as they were torn apart.
    Something was very wrong with this man.
    She didn’t know how Piper could deal with this. The fourth
and final round was started and she was surprised the red head was still alive;
she came out with two other girls all looking her age.She figured the two were
friends or sisters based off the hair colors.
    One had sleek straight hair that was a deep magenta and
hung in a chic cut straight to her shoulders while the other girl, who was
probably one of the prettiest girls she’d ever seen had an ombre effect of deep
black at the top, with deep purple blended into it and then went to small strips
of burgundy and ended in a deep orange.
    On anyone else she would have thought they looked like a
clown but she looked like it could have been her natural hair color. Her hair
hung to her waist and she had pale creamy skin.
    All three were in the same maid like uniform still. She
could see Caedmon’s gaze locked onto the dark haired one why Cieran was
watching the other two. The round started and Buck cocked his head as if trying
to pick which one he wanted more.
    He went for the short haired girl. As he leapt the dark
haired one went for the wall and she watched the short haired girl grab the red
head and toss her into Buck. They hit the ground and Buck flipped the woman and
tore into her like she was a piece of meat.
    She looked up at the ceiling trying to ignore her screams
of pain. How could someone do that!? The crowd loved this round. Caedmon and
Cieran laughed. This was funny to them?! He had slept with that woman. 
    The dark haired woman ran back and shoved a sword
straight into Bucks head. The crowd jumped to their feet. The two women were
led from the arena and the crowd started to rise.Caedmon rose and held out a
hand to her. She did not want anything to do with him, she took his hand and he
helped her up.
    She didn’t say a word to him; her acting skills would have
gotten her any star roles at the moment. He led her back outside and to where a
long stretch limo was parked. The door was opened for them and he helped her
inside.
    They sat at the end of the car, Piper and Cieran at the
other and the people from above came in as well. Lorintha sat right beside him
on his other side. She went into her own little world to try and get herself
back on track. She had to get away.

Chapter Seventeen
    “That was fast Caed.” Lorintha said staring at her. He took
her hand and kissed it. “You know we don’t waste time Rin.” She glanced around
the limo, Piper was quiet, Cieran was whispering in her ear but she wasn’t
really reacting to it, she was just as affected as she was over that “show”.
    “When will you finish turning her?” That had her
attention. “Very soon.” Finish turning her?! He had already started?  “Finish?”
She asked looking at him. “You can’t tell?” He asked pulling her closer to him.
She shook her head no.
    “Half looks good on you, you’ll be flawless as a full, if
you don’t change your mind.” Garreth added.
    Half? No, that was impossible. Shouldn’t she feel
different or something? Didn’t she though? She didn’t feel the pain on her back
anymore when she should have, she felt energized in a way she hadn’t before and
her vision was better. That’s how she clearly saw what the women and Buck looked
like from her vantage point on the balcony.
    She had to stop
