Amethyst P.O.V
“Come” his deep, rich voice spoke.
I felt my feet slowly begin to walk toward him, but I caught myself and stopped. Something about his voice, just him, drew me to him. I couldn’t explain it. But I’d seen him holding her up. How murderous he actually seemed as her slowly caused her life to almost come to an end. I’d tried to scream, but couldn’t bring myself to even yell at him.
“Come, my princess.” His whisper carried to me.
I started getting closer to him, before Serena screamed out,
“Amethyst, NO!”
I stopped in my tracks. Before I knew it, Liam had gone back over to her and held his hand down against her face. I couldn’t tell what he was doing, until a light blue mist had begun forming and she began screaming in agony.
I ran over to him and touched his shoulder.
“Liam, no!” I said frantically. “She deserves to live, please.” I whispered as my voice cracked .
He put his hand down, dropped her body to the floor, making a lout thud that echoed throughout the cavern walls. As he did, the mist faded away almost instantly.

She bared her teeth, trying to scare him off. He bared his and smiled before grabbing his sword and connecting it to her neck. Her head roled off as her body fell to the ground, blocking the entrance of the cave. I screamed and backed up.
“Amethyst, don’t worry.” His voice soothed me.
I felt his breath right on the back of my neck. I stared at the body laying limp in the entrance. I felt my arm be caressed softly, cool fingertips making their way up and over my shoulders to my neck. I felt his other arm snake around my waist and turn me around. His dark brown eyes stared right into mine. His hand came up to touch my cheek. I leaned in and sighed before looking back at him.
