Original X-roads-2003

    “Jonothan, I just don’t want him to die.”
    “Why? After all he done to you, I doin you a favor.” he lowered the strength of the beam, “Unless, you really do like him.”
    I studied Jonothan, what’s his game.
    He increased the beam higher, Sertoff made a noise.
    “Jonothan stop!” I gasped as I straddled him.
    He smiled at me turning on the charm, “Why don you persuade me to stop.”
    I could feel Sertoffs glare at my back, he was renewed with strength. I began to get nervous.
    “Jonothan make it real easy for you.” he leaned forward and caressed my face.
    His eyes flashed as I glanced into them, I began to feel slightly breathless. But I couldn’t with Sertoff right there, knowing he was right, he would kill me. His eyes flashed again as he moved his lips closer to mine. Every thought in my mind had gone, I felt the softness of his lips against mine. He brushed them slightly then pulled away, I drew in a quick breath then moved forward to him.
    His arm slid around me as began to kiss deeply, I heard a noise from behind.
    Jonothan pulled back with a grin of satisfaction across his face as he looked past me to Sertoff. “How do dat feel?” he taunted him. “Knowin wat she doin, an knowin dere’s not one thin you can do about it.”
    I began to catch my snap and started to turn around to see what was happening, but I heard a thud on the floor. I turned in time to see Sertoff weakened sitting watching. I glanced back at Jonothan, who still had the beam on him.
    “Maybe now you thin twice before tryin dat again.” Jonothan glared at him and pulled me closer. He began lightly kissing my neck, as Sertoff closed his eyes.
    “Well, dat take care of dat.” he moved back, I turned just in time to see Sertoff disappear. “An now we got work ta do.” he reached over and took off my jumper tossing it on the bed then breaking it.
    “He’s only going to drink some potion then come after us again.” I rationalized.
    “No, ma amie.” he shook his head. “No one comin after us. Sertoff cross de line when he shoot me.” he ran his finger across my right cheek. “An now it be time for Jonothan ta do somethin bout it.”
    I was confused, the world changed around us.
