Chapter 181: The Warrior's Blade

"Buttercup's been stabbed," Rhychard said as he shoved his cell phone in his back pocket. "Renny found her downtown collapsed on the sidewalk and helped get her to the hospital. Buttercup's in surgery now." He felt guilty with the relief of Renny's safety flooding through him while his friend was in the operating room, fighting for her life. Buttercup had bore the brunt of the wrath of the Unseelie ever since Pastor Adrian Michaels dragged her pimp, Jerome Williams, into the mess with Vargas. She had been beaten, attacked, kidnapped, and now stabbed. How she kept her sanity, Rhychard didn't know. "I've got to get to the hospital.""And I need to find the aswang," Halafarin said, his intense stare still fixed on Trace."You're not touching her," Trace said, just as adamant and determined as the elf."I am sorry for your emotions," Halafarin said. "But, trust me, I have chased her long enough to know this pattern of hers. Several decades ago, I tracked her to a town called Brighton Cove

Chapter 182: The Warrior's Blade

"They said you killed someone, Giselle." Trace paced back and forth along the marina. As soon as he left Rhychard's apartment, he called Giselle and asked her to meet him. He refused to believe what the elf said back at the apartment. Giselle was not the type to kill anyone. She was too meek, almost timid-like. She was too much like him, if he was honest. At least, he believed she was. "That elf said you've been killing for years. He even said you killed your last boyfriend, just so you could escape." He turned and stared at her, his arms limp at his side as the pain of everything the others had told him shoved inward on his chest.Giselle just looked at him, her dark eyes soft, almost childlike. When she spoke, her voice was soft, just above a whisper. "I told you I wasn't like others, Trace. I warned you that you wouldn't like what I was. You'd hate me for it, even. You promised you could handle it and begged me to tell you, remember? You promised, Trace."He stared at her, his Gisel

Chapter 183: The Warrior's Blade

Rhychard stepped outside of the hospital to search for Renny, while Mark went to security to look at the security video. While Rhychard didn't see Renny's photograph back at the Leary Building, that didn't mean Aradhon hadn't had his sights set on her. After doing a complete sweep of the grounds, Rhychard returned to the front of the hospital just as Mark was exiting the building. "I saw her on tape," Mark said, jogging over to where Rhychard was coming around the east side. "Looks like she left with someone but it looked like she left willingly.""Can I see the tape?" Rhychard started walking back inside before Mark could answer. In his gut, Rhychard knew who took Renny, but he needed to make sure.Mark caught up with him and led him to the security room. The guard on duty just nodded and then replayed the tape for Mark, Rhychard staring intently at the monitor. Damn! He hated being right."That guy's sick looking," the guard said. "Like he should be entering the hospital, not leavin

Chapter 184: The Warrior's Blade

"Are you not scared?" Aradhon asked her, sounding impressed. Renny allowed him to bring her to the Leary Building, but instead of moving upward toward the penthouse as she supposed he would, he took her to a sub-level floor, which, by all rights, should have been flooded since they were barely above sea level. The only thing she could figure was that the dark elf employed some form of magic to keep the structure sound. For what purpose, however, she had yet to determine.She turned, her arms behind her back, hands clasped behind her. "Is that your goal? To scare me? Seems rather adolescent if you ask me, and a little beneath someone like you.""Like me?" Aradhon wore a dark robe, his hands and arms slid up opposing sleeves. His dark hair hung around his face and shoulders, framing his narrow grayish-blue face, his pointy ears peeking through his hair."Self-important. Narcissistic. Of course, you are a juvenile bully, so perhaps something so petty isn't beneath you after all."Pux and

Chapter 185: The Warrior's Blade

"Kree!" Rhychard burst into his apartment, his nerves on end as he worried more with each tick of the clock as to Renny's safety. Karl had left, but Halafarin, Tryna, and Kree all sat in the living room of Rhychard's apartment, awaiting word as to Buttercup's well-being. They turned to stare at the Warrior as he entered the home. He kept his gaze on Tryna as he said, "Aradhon has Renny.":Warrior, how did this happen?: Kree sent to everyone as he rose to his feet.Rhychard ran a hand through his long, dark hair as he blew out a breath of exasperation. "He ran into her outside of the hospital." Then he turned back to Tryna as if he blamed her for things. "And those damn gnomes did nothing to stop her from going with him."Tryna didn't seem bothered by his outburst or his look of accusation. "It is their task to protect, not interfere.""That seems to be the theme of the faerie realm," Rhychard snarled.Fitz hopped off his shoulder and landed on the kitchen table. "We're not busybodies,

Chapter 186: The Warrior's Blade

"I'm confused," Trace said as they walked down the marina toward Washington Street and the Leary Building. "How did Aradhon even know we were seeing each other?" Things weren't making sense, and he began to wonder if his meeting Giselle was happenchance or arranged. She had told Trace everything about her past, admitting to killing her boyfriend back in the fifties in order to escape Halafarin, the elven Warrior who had been tracking her for almost a century. She had reacted on impulse, not knowing any other way to escape. Panic was her only excuse. "Aradhon found me after you and I met," Giselle said. Her voice held the tinge of regret mixed with panic. Trace knew she expected him to turn her over to Rhychard, but even with what she did, Trace could not bring himself to turn his back on her. How could he? She was the only one to really give him a chance. "He promised to get rid of Halafarin if I helped him get to the human Warrior. Aradhon wants the Guardian Sword for himself. If he

Chapter 187: The Warrior's Blade

The pain was intense, even with the medications she knew were being pumped into her. Laci gripped the sheets, consciousness brushing her senses, only to drag her away again. She heard screaming, and at first thought it was hers, but she was lucid enough to realize her mistake. Then who? Light surrounded her, bright and warm, almost fuzzy in the way it appeared, giving everything a shimmering cast to it. The air, which had reeked of antiseptics just a moment ago, now held a fragrant aroma of hibiscus and jasmine wafting around her as she strolled… She panicked. How could she be walking? She tried to open her eyes, but the weight of the drugs kept her eyelids pinned shut. Yet, that didn't make sense either, because she could see the fields around her, the weeping willows drooping in the distance as the sun bathed the grassy field with a warmth that chased away the icicles of the hospital air-conditioning. Where am I?She gazed around the field, cattails dancing out by a shimmering lake,

Chapter 188: The Warrior's Blade

Rhychard wrapped his cloak around him tighter, the breeze from the Indian River strong as it pressed him against the Leary Building. He glanced up at the gargoyles perched at the corners of the building. How far would the rescuers be able to get before those creatures joined the fray? Rhychard and Kree were lucky last time, but his luck never lasted.A scurrying noise at his feet caught Rhychard's attention, making him look down, ready to stomp some critter or kick it out of his way. He was shocked when he saw Fitz shove his head out of the earth and wave at him. "I left you at the apartment," Rhychard whispered. "How the hell did you get here?"Fitz crawled out of the hole he made, brushing the dirt from his clothes. When he stood, he shrugged. "I'm a gnome. It's how we travel." Then the little man cocked his head to the side. "You sure don't know a lot about the faerie realm for a Warrior."Rhychard rolled his eyes. Tell me about it. "Oh, wait a minute," Fitz said. "I forgot someth

Chapter 189: The Warrior's Blade

"Renny!" Pux called out to her, but it was too late; she had already crossed over the boulders and stood in the middle of the dark faerie circle. As soon as both feet had touched the concrete within the circle, she felt the surge of power twist around her, jerking her spine straight as she became locked into place. Panic gripped her as she struggled to free herself, straining to move an arm, a leg, even a finger, but nothing obeyed her will. She glared at the dark elf as power coiled about her, licking at her flesh and scalding her. Pux stood at the edge of the circle, his arms extended toward her, but he also was frozen in place, trapped by the dark elf's power. Glancing around the best she could, she noticed the other two gnomes were gone. Where they went, she had no idea.Behind Aradhon, she heard a door open, and then watched as dark elves and gargoyles led several humans into the room, each bound and gagged. The humans' eyes seemed distant, almost vacant as they were led to form

Chapter 190: The Warrior's Blade

Trace held Giselle in his arms, blood seeping from the wound in her stomach, the blade still protruding. He was unsure whether he should pull the knife out or not, not sure if the blood would gush or not. Finally, he chose to pull the blade out and wrap as much of her shirt around the wound as possible to try and stench the blood flow. This was not a video game, and Trace was lost as to what to do. Tears flowed from his cheeks, his shaggy hair dropping in his face as he leaned over Giselle, doing his best to whisper words of encouragement, begging her to hang on and not leave him.The basement then filled with Renny's scream, yanking his attention to the dark circle of large stones in the middle of the room. He swiped at his tears with the back of his arm as he stared at Renny, her body wrapped in dark coils of what appeared to Trace as lightning streaks sizzling around her body. Her head snapped back, and she screamed at the ceiling, her body one giant spasm of pain as it jerked and s
