ADRIAN WALKED TO LINNA. HE LISTENED TO HEAR HEART. IT WAS THERE, BUT DISSAPEARING. HE FELT DESPAIR SWEEP OVER HIM. BUT THEN SOMETHING OVER TOOK HIM. NO, NEVER AGAIN, HE WOULDNT LOSE SOMETHING HE LOVED. HE BROKE THE CHAINS OFF HER WRISTS, AND FEET,. BRINGING HER DOWN SLOWLY. HE LAYED HER DOWN ON THE GROUND. HE HEARD HER HEART STUTTER. SHE DIDNT HAVE ANY BLOOD LEFT. SO HE HAD TO GIVE HER SOME. HE BIT HIS WRIST, AND PRESSED IT TO HER LIPS, URGING HER TO DRINK. SHE DRANK, BUT NOT ENOUGH. HER HEART STOPPED COMPLETLY. HE URGED MORE BLOOD DOWN HER THROAT. HE WAS TO LATE. HE GATHERED HER TO HIM. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CENTURIES, A TEAR SLID DOWN HIS CHEEK. THEN ANOTHER. HE HAD BEEN TO LATE. HE WAS ALWAYS TO LATE. HE PRESSED HIS LIPS TO HERS. WILLING HER TO COME BACK TO HIM. TO BE WITH HIM IN THIS COLD AND LONELY WORLD. HE HUGGED HER TIGHTER. HIS SOBS SHOOK HIS WHOLE BODY. FOR HIS ONE AND ONLY LOVE.

"LINNA DARLING WAKE UP."

"LINNA, DARLING..."

ADRIAN TURNED HIS HEAD ONLY TO FIND MARCUS STANDING THERE. HIS ANGER OVERCAME HIS URGE TO TAKE CARE OF LINNA. HE WALKED TOWARD MARCUS.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"IM GOING TO MAKE HER MINE. I JUST NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE BLOOD FROM HER AND GIVE HER MINE. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MINE AFTER THAT. I DIDNT WANT TO TURN HER JUST YET. I WANT TO HER TO SEE HOW YOU DIE."

HE GAVE AN EVIL LAUGH. HE SNAPPED HIS FINGERS. TWO BIG BURLY MEN CAME OUT OF THE SHADOWS.

"KILL HIM."

ADRIAN BACKED AWAY. HE LOOKED AT THE MEN. THEIR EYES WERE BLANK. HE LOOKED AT MARCUS WHO HAD GONE TO SIT DOWN ON A BARREL NEAR LINNA. HE STARTED TO TALK TO HER.

"LINNA OPEN YOUR EYES. I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS."

LINNA SLOWLY OPENED HER EYES. HER HEAD WAS THROBBING. SHE TRIED TO STRINGTEN HER NECK BUT IT ONLY HURT BADLY THAT IT MADE HER CRY OUT. SHE TRIED MOVING HER HANDS BUT FOUND OUT THEY WERE CHAINED TO A WALL. SHE LOOKED AROUND FRANTICALLY AND FOUND ADRIAN BEING ATTACKED BY TWO MEN. HE LOOKED AT HER WHILE HE DUCKED PUNCHE AND JUMPED KICKS. HE GRABBED ON OF THE MEN BY THE NECK AND BROKE ITS NECK. HE TRIPPED THE OTHER ONE AND SMASHED HIS WINDPIPE WITH HIS BOOT TO ITS NECK. THEN HE TORE OFF THE HEAD. HE QUICKLY WALKED TOWARDS MARCUS. HE GRABBED HIM BY THE LAPELS OF HIS JACKET AND THREW HI AGAINST A WALL AT THE FAR END OF THE WAREHOUSE. MARCUS REALLY WASNT A MACTH FOR ADIAN HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN WEAKER.  MARCUS FELL TO THE FGROUND.  ADRIAN WENT TO GET A SHOVEL THAT WAS AT THE FAR END OF THE WAREHOUSE.  MARCUS TRIED TO CHARGE HIM. HE MANAGED TO STRIKE ADRIAN ACROSS THE FACE.  LEAVING 3 LONG SCRATCHES ACROSS ADRIANS FACE. ADRIAN JUST SMILED AND SMASHED THE FLAT SIDE OF THE SHOVEL AGAINST MACUS'S HEAD.SENDING HIM FLYING AGAINST ANOTHER WALL. MARCUS QUICKLY GOT UP. THEN DISSAPEARED. HE REAPERRED NEXT TO LINNA. ADRIAN GOT THE SHOVEL READY FOR THE NEXT STRIKE. BUT THEN MARCUS SHOOK HIS HEAD.

"IF I WERE YOU I WOULDNT DO THAT."

MARCUS REACHED INSIDE HIS JACKET. HE PULLED OUT A DAGGER. THE HANDLE WAS GOLD WITH RUBIES AND EMERALDS IN IT. THE BLADE WAS SILVER AND SHARP. ADRIAN TOOK A STEP BACK.

"THATS RIGHT. BE VERY CAREFUL. WHERE SHOULD I CUT HER. HER NECK OR WRISTS. OR PROBLABLY I SHOULD JUST STAB HER. "

ADRIAN SHOOK HIS HEAD.

"I KNEW IT YOU WANT ME TO SLIT HER WRISTS. OF COURSE, SHE DOESNT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. "

MARCUS GRABBED LINNAS HAND BENDING IT BACK. AND WHILE LOOKING AT ADRIAN HE SLID THE DAGGER ACROSS LINNA'S INNER WRIST.BLOOD FLOWED FROM THE WOUND. MARCUS MOVED TO THE OTHER HAND. BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING ADRIAN WAS BY HIS SIDE. ADRIAN GRABBED THE DAGGER FROM MARCUS'S HAND AND DROVE IT INTO MARCUS'S HEART. THEN ADRIAN PULLED THE DAGGER OUT AND SLIT MARCUS'S THROAT. MARCUS FELL ON HIS BACK. ADRIAN STEPPED OVER HIM, HE BRKE HIS NECK FOR GOOD MESURE.

"SORRY BIG BROTHER BUT I CANT YOU DESTROY MY LOVE."
