All Chapters of Love Beyond Death: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Romania, 1595 - Battle of Călugăreni 

Romania 1595 - 1600 “Where are your parents?” she giggled at me, pointing to the house close to us. “What’s your name?”

Liz woke up abruptly, sitting on the bed and stiff as a stone, I didn’t know for sure what was going on, but something was not right, I could feel it, and with all the chaos of these last few days, I didn’t inspect her house enough to see how safe it was.“Liz… There’s an…”

“Oh boy, that’s shit!” I yelped in an anguished tone, standing up involuntarily, when I saw Jack touching my bed.“What are you seeing?” 

That was music to my ears, I couldn’t wait to put my hands, or better than that, my fangs to the men who dare to threaten her. I was out of her sight in a matter of seconds, dodging trees in the woods, reaching the first one crouched behind a thick trunk. He didn’t even notice me standing behind him. I gripped on his neck, raising him from the floor like a puppet. His blood pumping in his veins, calling it to me like a lullaby soothing to my senses as my mouth watered, right then it was my demon taking over, and I was so upset with everything I just gave him free rein over me. 

It was time to go back to my old house. I was so messed up when I found Tony, he took me back to his old estate to mend my soul, and it was the best time of my life. Once in a while we would travel back to the city and be in contact with civilization. No one knew about this place, it was deep in the Catskills mountains, far from any routes and trails where hikers couldn't find it. There he taught me how to shoot, how to hold a sword, how to fight. He became my father in my birth certificate and in my heart, and if I was here today, I owed him that much. 

We had to go back to Kingston, straight to a diner. It was a simple, nice place, and we sat in what she called a booth. I didn’t feel like eating anything, so Liz asked for some coffee for us, and eggs, bacon and bread for her. She was definitely hungry, and we were comfortable in each other’s presence. “What po

We were already traveling for a few minutes into the dirt road with the snow falling very lightly on us, when she came to a stop, turned the engine off, and before I got a hold of her she jumped out of the bike. “No! Not you. I’m gonna teach you how to ride,” she announced to me with an impish smile on her face.

When I heard the noise coming from the living room, I ran there to find him on the floor, pale as a sheet of paper, staring at the fire like if the blazes were ghosts haunting him. Since we found each other I’ve never seen him so out of his bearings. He didn’t answer me when I called, so I went to him, kneeling between his legs and sitting on my calf. I put my hands on both sides of his face, and it startled me how cold he was. 

The cold tone in which she professed those words took me aback, and involuntarily my body tensed and my hands became fists, and she noticed, even my demon raised his head in awareness, the need of dominating her rising in him. I didn’t expect that from her in any way possible, and if I wasn’t already shaken up enough by Anton’s news, now I’ve got speechless by her lack of emotions, but the worst was the painful tightness in my throat and the broken feeling that settled in my chest. In a speedy second my hands flew to her neck and long hair, pulling them down, so she faced me.
