Chapter 47: For Her

*Nathaniel*

The moment I see the dead man’s blood on Benedict’s palm, I throw myself into combat. The rage and terror surging inside me knows Claire is in mortal danger and that I am the only one who can do something about it.

I feel their fingernail-like claws digging into my petrified flesh around my wrists as I manage to twist myself and lunge. Claire is thrown off to the side and Benedict, with a sly and vindictive grin on his face, lunges at me.

I latch my hands around his throat and attempt to twist, even with the others clinging to my arms and reducing my strength tremendously. I glare at him in frustration, wanting nothing more than to free his pathetic excuse of a head from the rest of his feeble body.

Benedict, unhampered in his attack, punches me in the gut with all of his strength, digging his claws into me. Even through my gritted teeth and loathing, I involuntarily gasp and grunt as the pain sets in. Even though I am immortal, I can still feel pain.
