"Oh! Thank you for catching that little troublemaker. Please give her back to us," said one of the guards while panting for air.

Not knowing what to do, I frantically held the man's hand and pleaded, "Please save me! They are going to hurt me! I don't want to go back!"

The man first looked at me for a couple of seconds, then at the guards. "Go," he said to the guards grimly. Surprisingly, he was on my side. I was counting on my lucky stars to ask for help from him and I was fortunate enough to earn it.

"What?" asked the guards, confused by the man's words.

"I said go... before I kill you," he threatened. I was hiding behind the man's back and couldn't see his face, but my guts told me that he meant his words.

The guards looked surprised by his words but quickly recovered from them and, instead, started to challenge the man, "We won't go before you hand us that girl."

The man sighed and said, "I warned you." After that, the man let go of my hand and turned my body around. "Don't look," he said, before starting to walk towards the guards. 

Every step he took exuded confidence, and he was not the least scared of the guards who were armed with swords when he himself had nothing but his bare hands.

I closed my eyes even with my back towards them and heard one of the guards scream trying to attack the man. No longer after that, the only sound that I could hear was something like... bones breaking.

A few moments later, it was completely silent. Is he done? The silence was soon broken by footsteps that I assumed were getting closer to where I was. Is this the footsteps of the man or the guards? That was the question that popped up in my mind.

I was ready to run, but before I could proceed to do that, two strong arms gripped both of my shoulders, turning my body around. I nervously opened my eyes to find a pair of red eyes staring softly at me.

"Are you okay?"

My Long Lost Mate

"Darkness... will prevail once more."

"What did you just say?" Luke, who stood beside me, glanced at me. He noticed how I was staring at the door and decided to follow my eyes, curious about what had me so focused. But when he did follow my gaze, all he could see was a normal wooden door. "Is there something there?"

If Luke couldn't see the inscription, it was clear to me that this was a message meant for those with magical abilities—for witches. Instead of answering him, I took his hand in mine, allowing him to see the magic around us.

Luke's eyes narrowed as he watched the words appear one by one, and a frown immediately appeared on his face when he finally saw the whole inscription. He was perplexed as to why someone had scribbled such nonsense on the entrance of a holy church—though not very holy with this one. He called bullshit on that.

"Someone was definitely drunk when they wrote this," he mocked.
