the
sound of his voice. She stared unwaveringly at him and her lips
moved.

mouthed to him.

CHAPTER
TWENTY-SEVEN

    Amelia tried not to flinch as
Nhor nicked her skin with the point of his blade. She saw Rohan's
eyes blaze with fury when he saw her blood drip onto Nhor's finger.
    “Prince Rohan of
Draca.” Nhor gave a bow and laughed. “I had the
pleasure of slitting your father's throat. I'll let you watch your
daughter die before I take you back to my Emperor. That way, you
don't have to worry about her when you leave.”
    Rohan didn't look at Amelia.
He kept his eyes locked on Nhor as he said, “Let the woman go.
She's got nothing to do with this.”
    “But she does.”
Nhor smiled. “She's right smack in the middle of all this. I
found out that she's your daughter's teacher, so I thought I could
get to know the nice kindergarten teacher and get her to trust me.
Then I'll be able to get your daughter easily.” He shrugged
and tapped his knife against Amelia's cheek. “Too bad our date
didn't go as planned.”
    Amelia bit down a curse.
“Norbert” had wanted to use her to get to Tessa. She had
been too trusting, too naive and gullible. She had told him which
kindergarten she taught at when they chatted online. Stupid, stupid,
stupid!
    Rohan continued speaking in a
low, steady voice. “Let them go, Nhor. I'll come with you.
You can take me back to your Emperor.”
    Nhor tilted his head,
pretending to consider the trade. “I can deliver you alive to
my Emperor. Or I can bring him your head in a box. I think I'll do
the latter. But thank you for your offer, Prince Rohan of Draca.”
    Nhor gave the signal and the
two Slayors charged Rohan together.
    The two Slayors were strong
and skilful fighters. Their attack was brutal and relentless, and
they didn't seem to feel any pain even when Rohan slashed them
repeatedly across their chests. Their muscle shirts were stained
with black blood but they didn't slow down. Rohan roared in pain
when one of the Slayors plunged a knife into Rohan's shoulder.
    Amelia winced as she watched
Rohan wrench the knife out of his flesh. She gulped and suddenly
realized that Nhor was no longer holding his knife to her throat.
    Very slowly, she turned
around.
    Nhor had discarded his human
shape. A giant serpent was now looming over her.
    Amelia turned and saw Tessa
lying facedown on the ground, whimpering and shaking.
    As Amelia looked up into
Nhor's glowing yellow eyes, she knew in a flash what he was going to
do.
    She was just a means to an
end. Tessa was the target.
    She moved a fraction of a
second before he did.
    Amelia threw herself over
Tessa just as Nhor widened his jaws and lurched towards the child.
    The strike was swift and
deadly.
    Amelia screamed in agony as
Nhor plunged his fangs into her leg and injected his venom into her.
Her entire leg felt like it was on fire, and she could feel the venom
coursing through her bloodstream, rushing towards her heart.
    Amelia clung tightly to
Tessa, shielding every inch of the girl's small, trembling body. She
would not let Nhor get to Tessa. She curled protectively and
determinedly over Tessa, making her body an impenetrable shield over
the girl.
    Nhor hissed in fury and tried
to push her away, but Amelia locked her limbs and muscles firmly in
place. Every tiny movement caused her excruciating pain but Amelia
forced herself to hold on. She would protect Tessa for as long as
she still had breath in her.
    But there weren't many more
breaths left. She could feel her lungs burning and it became more
and more difficult to breathe.
    Nhor reared up, his eyes full
of hate and fury. Amelia made sure Tessa was fully covered before
she glared up at him, her eyes flashing with defiance and triumph.
“I won't let you touch her, you shit!” she snarled.
“You. Can. Bite. My. Ass!”
    He did.
    But this time, she felt no
pain from the bite.
    In fact, she felt nothing at
all.
