Iris:
I slashed the dagger across her back.
She screeched and pulled away.
That was when I noticed Luca suddenly waking up from a nightmare. He turned towards her.
Eira turned around to look at . She growled at and then ca at .
This ti, when I tried to move the dagger, she held my hand and punched across the face, making it harder for to keep my balance.
She was now holding onto very hard.
Then it happened.
Luca was finally free from her grasp.
"Let her go," he scread with a roar, pushing through the water and tackling her.
All three of us went under.
This ti, Luca held her down.
I kicked upward, breaking the surface, coughing as I spun around to see them.
They surfaced a second later, locked together.
Luca’s hands were around her shoulders, forcing her back. She clawed at him, her nails scraping across his chest.
"I will never belong to you. I am not a slave to you," Luca growled. His voice was clear to her, and I noticed anger rush through her.
"You think you have the power to control ?" she asked him, looking him straight in the eye.
I was starting to realize how much Kash had sacrificed for .
Not only had he spent years making himself look like the villain, but he had also picked a fight, for my sake, with a monster who had left her territory and co all this way just for him.
One thing did bring relief. Kash was not here.
If she attacked him, my heart would shatter.
But right now, Luca needed .
It was clear he was struggling.
"Well, I broke free from your hypnotism," he grunted at her, making her let out a loud cackle.
"You know, he did too," she mumbled, ntioning Kash.
My fists clenched tightly.
"But look, I’m here to collect him again. Even if not directly, I will still do it." she snickered.
"And if I have to, I will do it by killing his mate," she continued.
As she spoke, I began searching for the dagger in the water.
Because at this point, the only thing we needed was more power."Not , nor Kash. No one will let you harm Iris. You hear ?" he said, clenching his jaw.
As he tried to push her down into the water, she grunted and shoved him back.
His hands slipped from her shoulders, and he almost landed beside .
I helped him stand up, watching her step out of the water and glare at us angrily.
I had managed to hold the dagger again. I moved beside him, gripping the dagger with both my hands.
Together we advanced at her. She looked between us, and then a very creepy smile crept across her lips.
"Oh, you stupid creatures, always thinking you have the power," she said with a grunt of disappointnt, shaking her head.
She noticed the dagger in my hand, and she knew that Luca was walking toward her to attack, but it seed like she was not afraid of anything in that mont.
And that was the craziest thing.
There was nothing she seed to fear. Absolutely nothing.
The only ti I saw any emotion in her eyes was whenever Kash was ntioned.
And that made so fucking jealous.
Suddenly, the river exploded.
A surge of force blasted outward from her body. It pushed Luca away from her, and I was pushed backward as well.
Then the water crashed into us. I felt myself being lifted and thrown hard against the surface.
I skidded backward, the dagger flying from my hand and going completely missing.
When I resurfaced again, I could barely see.
"Luca, where are you?" I shouted, trying to spot him.
Then I saw him floating several feet away from .
I stood upright in the water, not being swayed, dragged, or pushed around.
Her hair flowed around her like she was the queen of the water, and the water seed to hold her upright, watching her beautiful existence.
She lifted one hand, and Luca’s body went still in the water.
Then he sank when she dropped her hand.
It was as if she was making see that the water was openly listening to her commands now.
Luca’s body sank, and my heart stopped.I noticed he was no longer struggling.
Nor was he fighting. He just seed to be listening to the water and her commands, and not in a good way.
He was letting himself drown.
Fear crawled up my throat.
"Luca!" I scread, tears blurring my vision.
He must have passed out or hit his head sowhere.
That was not good because now he could not even shift to fight her.
I tried to move toward him, but the water kept thickening around my legs, holding back.
Eira started to laugh at our condition, making grow more anxious.
"I’m the queen of the water for a reason," she scread, this ti more angrily, as if she was trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
I could see fingers and little hands made of water grabbing onto my legs.
"No, what are you doing to him?" I scread at her.
She looked at and took a deep breath.
"I have lost the power over the blue river. I am losing my command. I took a huge step and left my land to travel through the water for revenge. I have nothing to lose," she comnted in her soft, creepy tone.
"And I realized that revenge is not the only thing I want. I want Kash too. So how about I kill you? That would be my revenge, and then I have him. That would be my treat," she muttered, her eyes narrowing at .
"You think after hurting you will have him?" I asked her in shock.
She seed like a powerful creature, so how could she be so dumb?
And my simple question made her glare at more angrily than ever.
She then walked toward slowly, and the river steadied beneath her.
