nShe would never leave him alone, even if it meant dying with him. She preferred to die with him rather than living without him.

nJohn reached her with a steady slow walk, he gazed at her with flashing intense red eyes.

"You will see the real me. Are you ready to bear with it? I would do anything to protect you.

" He emphasized the word 'anything' implying the information that he would kill anyone who will get in their way if he had to.

nNow they weren't only threatening his life they were also threatening Roselyn's life too. He couldn't let her get hurt or even worse. He killed many people for less bad things than that.

nRoselyn swallowed hard before nodding, a murmur was all that she managed to say.

"Yes.

"

nA millisecond after John widened his eyes before turning around hastily. Right in the time since David stood up and rushed toward Roselyn. John readily stretched his fist and punched him so strongly that his body is thrown against the window from the opposite side of the room and the body flew out like if he was heavily weighted, breaking the glass.

nJohn scoffed, shaking his head.

"I hate when useless, helpless people are gifted with powers. What a waste.

" He commented, nonchalantly. Roselyn suffocated a laugh.

nAfter few seconds they heard a loud noise and Roselyn's eyes widened predicting it was David's body crashing into the ground impactful.

nShe cleared her voice trying to forget what she heard and then gazed at the door which was widely opened.

nJohn shut his eyes and focused deeply, his eyes were closed but with the help of his overdeveloped senses and powers, his vision traveled toward the castle. His hearing allowed him to hear and perceive that some guards of his fiercest guards succeeded in knocking down a few of the supernatural creatures and all the humans.

nNow there were only supernatural creatures reaching the Royal Couple and were reduced to about forty.

nThey were still a huge number compared to the two of them.

nWhen John reopened his eyes, he was more fatigued and oddly gazed at Roselyn. Like if he was hesitating whether to ask her something. A crazy idea occurred in his mind, the more he thought about it the more it seemed risky. Yet it was the only thing they could try to do to survive the imminent sudden attack.

n

"I have an idea. It might work or it might kill us.

" He said in good conscience.

nRoselyn's heart couldn't beat more accelerated than it already did and her mouth was so dry that when she tried to reply, her lips glued together.

n

"Tell me.

" Roselyn hissed in her bootless attempt to remain calm.

n

"You can try to bring to life the plants around the castle to trap the army and slow down their rapprochement.

" He gave voice to his plan and Roselyn immediately nodded. But then after few seconds, he spoke again, the worst part of the plan was going to be revealed.

n

"I am too weak to fight so many supernatural creatures all together…

" He started. Roselyn swallowed down the lump that inflamed her throat as she listened to him carefully despite her preoccupation.

nJohn took few seconds and gave a deep breath,

"I need blood.

" John confessed as if he felt ashamed by what he just said.

n

"Okay…

" Roselyn said as she reordered her thoughts.

n

"If you don't want to if you are afraid I can …

"

nRoselyn interrupted him and nodded,

"no, it's alright. I can try to grow plants around the walls to slow them down and then you can bite me.

" She resumed the procedure waiting for him to confirm if she understood well his intentions.

nHe smiled, proud of the woman he married. He had never met someone that courageous before.

nRoselyn took a deep breath closing her eyes. She stretched both her hands toward the orchids and flowers that adorned the hall. She focused all her energies and tried to replicate what she did days ago.

nShe arose from the floor, shivers ran through her body and she felt her energies being drained from her body. Yet she kept focusing and staying strong.

nThe plants began to grow and bloom before slowly then quicker. The more Roselyn narrowed her eyes the more the plants grew to reach the opposite side of the hall. In few minutes a cobweb of branches and leaves filled the whole wall. Thorns and thick sharp leaves emerged from the ground forming an enormous shield of ramifications.

n

"Good job!

" John exclaimed in amazement and proudness. His eyes sparkled, she was so powerful. He had never seen someone to refine and improve in such a short time and within a minimal practice. He was bewitched by her.

nRoselyn smiled at John and after taking a brief pause to regain her energies she gazed at him.

"I am ready.

"

nJohn's heart sank like a stone inside his chest, silence lapsed over both of them as John walked toward her. His mind vaguely registered what he was going to do. He hadn't bitten someone in a very long time and he was preoccupied that he wouldn't be able to depart in time and would hurt her too deeply.

nHis preoccupied gaze was verbal, he didn't need to confess, his doubts were evident.

nWhen he reached his wife he popped his tongue in agitation before saying,

"sit down and expose your leg.

" His eyes were averted, he felt sorry for the situation he put herself in.

nHis eyes hardened flashing their intense redness when Roselyn quickly followed his commands.

nRoselyn's expression was a mix of wrecked emotions but now there was no time to think and worry. She just had to rationalize her thoughts and do the best she could do to save her and John's lives.

nShe slipped up the skirt of her dress, exposing her pale smooth thigh. A deep breath escaped from John's lips and Roselyn offered a supportive smile.

n

"I know you can do it. I trust you..

" Roselyn whispered.
