"Everything they have done has been because of me," Damon replied," you pride yourself on being fair and I am offering myself to you with no fuss."
Ameera let out a growl, her face forming into a scowl," they killed a member of my pack, a wolf-"
"Who attacked them first-"
"They were breaking the law!" She shouted over his voice," they had no business being at that church!"
"Enough!" Isla screamed out. She dug his nails deeper into Xavier's chest and he groaned out in pain. His eyes were beginning to shut and I heard the sound of Asia's sobbing.
"Stop!" Damon shouted," let him go!"
"Make me," Isla challenged.
Damon was quicker than my eyes. He sprinted for Isla and chucked her body, flinging her back towards the stone fence of the garden. She landed with a thud strong enough to have killed her had she been human. Xavier fell to his knees and Asia rushed to his side.
Isla got back up and sprinted towards Damon, her nails still extended in the shape of a sword, aiming right for Damon's heart.
She was able to stab him closer to the neck and the sight was painful enough to make my knees weak.
Damon twisted on her fingers, inching them away from his body but it was clear that she was too strong. She kicked up in the gut and send him tumbling backward.
Damon was now on the ground, clutching his bleeding wound. Isla placed her sharp nail on the top of his forehead and dug it slightly," Vesto said don't make a scene, you're going to pay for this."
Faster than light, Isla was behind me, her hands gripping me tightly in a headlock. I gasped for air now unable to breathe and clung to her arms trying to pry them away from her.
"Damon!" I screamed out in pain as she pulled me tighter. I began to choke. Isla reached up and untied the ribbon of my mask behind my head, letting it fall to the ground.
Damon's eyes widened in anger and he stood up, despite the fact that he was still bleeding.
His fangs extended and dug into his lips.
"Careful," She said, her words hot on my ear," it would be so easy for me to snap her neck in two."
"Enough games," said Aboot.
He sprinted to where Damon was standing. He wrapped his arms around his neck and gazed towards Vesto," say the words."
"Let him go," said Aboot," let her go also."
Isla immediately released me from her grip and I fell to the ground clutching my neck and trying to catch my breath. Damon rushed to my side and helped me sit up. I was able to catch sight of his eyes that looked both guilty and angry.
He cradled me in his lap until I was finally able to breathe.
He helped me back up until we were both standing.
"I must admit," Vesto began," when I found out that my prison was broken into by a half-witch half-human, it hurt my pride."
Vesto was now looking at me in a way that made Damon growl. I could feel his body shake. I placed my hand above his in an attempt to calm him down.
Vesto continued," it would be too easy if you obeyed and let me take you back to that prison anyway...it's boring."
He began to stroll in front of us," I want you to give me a challenge Damon, make me feel young again, I have a deal to propose."
"What?" Damon snapped.
