hard, then traced kisses down his neck and over his torso.

Quickly he sat, taking her breath away as she started to fall back, but he grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her against him. Sarah wrapped her legs around his body and felt his arousal pushing against her through his jeans. Sarah stretched her arms up, and in one quick motion, he whipped her top over her head, before embracing her anew.

He looked into her eyes and his expression became serious, ‘I love you Sarah,’ he said.

‘I love you too, you have no idea,’ she replied.

‘I think I do,’ he whispered, before he kissed her again.

He leapt up, holding her tight. He slid his hand under her skirt and Sarah shivered at his cool touch. He pushed her against the wall, her legs still wrapped around his middle. Her breathing quickened as he unbuttoned his jeans and penetrated her. She kissed him and soon lost herself in his rhythm.

Sebastian was mad. He had completely wasted his day looking for bloody ashes, following up leads that had led him no-where. He had even searched the alley where he had been killed, but rain had washed any trace away. He fumed - he would bet his life that Daniel still had them.

It was raining now, and without any further leads he decided to visit Sarah. He would take the risk; he’d be able to over-power her now any way. He had taken far more lives than he had the last time.

As he approached he heard noises from within. It sounded like Daniel was back and he was having his way with Sarah. Blood simmered in his veins; he had wanted her.

What was he to do? Wait for Daniel to leave and follow him? Attack him? Find out where he was staying and search it after Daniel had left?

It would be a risk to attack him now. Daniel was phenomenally strong - Sebastian could sense his power radiating from inside the house.

The best thing would be to follow him. To try searching his residence. If that did not work he would have to seek out the witch and force her to share her wisdom. He could get her to teach him a trick alike to the one Daniel had used on him.

Unfortunately that would require another wait.

Daniel lay his head next to Sarah’s on the pillow. He looked at her soft lips and her silky skin. He brushed his hand through her wavy blond hair and kissed her temple.

She was perfect. Her cheeks flushed at his gaze and, as he looked into her eyes, she twitched her lips in an ironic smile. She still didn’t understand his attraction. Yet to him it was unquestionable. He kissed her soft lips and leant back so they could talk, he could always sense when she was eager to ask him questions.

‘Did you find out what you needed?’ She asked him.

‘Yes, I’ve learned the spell. But I have to go back to the hotel to get the ashes first.’

‘When?’

‘I should probably go now, be prepared in case something happens.’

‘Daniel – I haven’t told you yet…’

Daniel looked intently at her, he was about to find out what had her so het up.

‘What happened?’ He prompted.

‘I was attacked.’ She started.

Daniel’s heart pounded the second she said it, he quickly looked her over even though he knew she was ok - he had just inspected nearly every inch of her body.

‘What happened?’ He repeated.

‘Some guy turned up here. I was just about to get Megan from school - I had Bea with me - he was asking for you. I thought something was strange, he reminded me of Sebastian…’

Sarah continued to fill him in on the events that had occurred. He listened intently as she talked of the rise of power within her. He wondered more about what the changes meant, but he didn’t know for sure. He would have to speculate later.

‘Don’t worry Sarah, I will deal with the body - but after I’ve dealt with Sebastian. Heather told me that once someone has been possessed in that way there is nothing you can do to save them. That they’re dead already.’

‘So there was nothing else I could have done?’

‘No,’ he reassured her. ‘I wonder if he has possessed anyone else yet. Have you seen anyone act suspicious? Or has anyone else come round?’

‘No. We’ve stayed in today, I wasn’t going to risk it. I haven’t seen anyone.’

He held her close, comforting her. She smelt delicious; a herbal
