Maybe it was because I'd obviously been a rubbishfriend. I didn't know where to start and the last part had made me blushand look at the floor, I want...d it to swallow me up. I was so ashamed ofwhat I'd done.Becky saw my reaction. "I'm right aren't I, you little slut!" She saidwinking at me. "Now it all makes sense, you've met a guy and you've beenwith him. Well spill the beans, tell me all about him!"I spent the next 30 minutes explaining everything about John to Becky,obviously excluding the. Igniting a piece of wood I fed it to each dragon as each bowed to me then accepted the fire. Then they all went to hide at various points around the camp. Satisfied so far I started to motion outside the bubble making a complex series of ropes appear entwined in each other. Extending them completely over us I felt a little safer though not much. I checked on Naci seeing that she was recuperating extremely well. I just hoped she was enough before Rigal appeared. Thinking it over I wasn't sure. Your spirit was guiding you, your love was telling you what the right thing to do was." It did? I was? Shoot!" he grinned and looked at Mary, who smiled back."Can I ask you when is the day?" Sharmila asked, "have you set a date?" I think towards the end of the year," Mary said, "then Jake and I are going off on holiday overseas." Wonderful. You will have such a happy time together. You must send me an invitation to the wedding." Of course," Mary said. Jake shot her a strange look but she chose. "It seems you rather enjoyed yourself too." "No." he turned on his heel and made to run from me, but I pulled him back and thrust him against the wall. "No, no, Mark, I haven't finished with you yet." "Let me go!" he yelled and fought against my iron grip. "Not just yet." I plunged yet again in that deep abyss I knew so well; I bit him all over, unable to control my urge, on his neck, his wrists, his chest. I left him weak and bloody in the alleyway when I felt he couldn't be subjected to.
