Is this destiny?

"Filthy and useless..." Sarah\'s eerie voice made Liam stop breathing. \'I just wanted to have some fun, how did things end up this way? Noah said it will be easy picking...\' His chin trembled as he looked at Sarah\'s eyes consumed by madness.

Sarah walked toward Liam, and when she was one step away from him, with no hesitation, she delivered number of rapid strikes at him. Liam fell down and was not moving any more, unconscious. Sarah straightened her back and turned to Noah who was still sprawled on the floor his eyes didn\'t leave Sarah. Sarah glanced at Isabella, and commanded. "Unlock the door."

Isabella stumbled backwards but kept her balance... she rushed to the door and unlocked it. Isabella was terrified by what she witnessed but told herself that the ones on the floor are bad guys, and that Sarah protected her.

Sarah\'s crazed gaze was on Noah and her sinister smile showed two rows of perfect white teeth.

Noah found her terrifying and beautiful at the same time... like a person who falls in love with a most vicious demon. His right arm was not injured, and he ignored pain he was in, while reaching out to Sarah hoping to touch this fairy who came from the depths of hell.

While Noah was hoping to touch Sarah, door opened, and Aiden and Jeff rushed in. Aiden stopped in his tracks at the sight of Noah reaching out toward Sarah and his face darkened. "You..." He growled.

Aiden\'s voice alerted Sarah of his presence. She felt a warm breeze blowing, enveloping her heart and calming her down in an instant. She felt safe and protected... and the dark beast inside her could go back to its slumber. Sarah turned toward him, and pouted. "Oh, what took you so long? We were bullied... I was so scared..." Sarah looked like she is about to cry any moment.

Both Noah and Isabella could not believe their ears and eyes. What kind of acting is this? How did this demon become so pitiful?

Aiden looked through the room, while walking toward Sarah, and did his best to keep a straight face while pulling her in his embrace and coaxing her. "It\'s OK... Sorry I\'m late... Did you get scared a lot? ... How about you leave and let me clean this up?"

Sarah stopped her victim act and looked at Aiden with a serious expression. "I\'m staying."

She glanced at Isabella who was visibly shaken. "But Bella might need to leave." Sarah tilted her head and gave Jeff a signal to take Isabella out.

As Jeff escorted Isabella out, Sarah told him, "Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate are her favorite."

Jeff nodded and closed the door behind them.

"What happened?" Aiden asked, while still holding Sarah in his embrace.

"That one", Sarah pointed at Noah. "... had an intention to grope me and said that I\'m the goods that he wants to touch." She looked at Liam. "The other one was interested in Bella. He smells, and he is no fun." Sarah\'s head turned to Noah. "But the groping one... I left some for you. The hand that reached out to me is still uninjured. Do you want it?" She looked up at Aiden, with her eyes sparkling, as she is a child waiting to be praised for a work done well.

Aiden battled with his own darkness while listening to what happened, but when he looked at Sarah while she explained the incident with an innocent face, his lips curved up involuntarily. With her light, she was able to dispel his darkness. The darkness she accepted back in Greece, but he himself was reluctant to let it show again. "Thank you, baby, for thinking about me."

"Mmm, I always think about you.", Sarah kissed him on the lips lightly.

Aiden tightened his hold on her as he returned her kiss and deepened it.

Noah stirred and the sound made Sarah and Aiden break the kiss and turn to look at him.

Aiden let go of Sarah and walked to Noah. "So... you want to touch?" Aiden\'s face became dark, as the need to break Noah\'s body swelled inside him. "What makes you think that you can touch my woman?" Sarah reached for the door and locked it.

Noah realized that Aiden is serious. "Nothing like that, Aiden, buddy... it\'s a misunderstanding."

"Buddy?" Aiden frowned. "When were we buddies? I don\'t have any buddies who would stretch their arms trying to get a hold of my woman. Misunderstanding? Are you saying that my woman is lying?"

Every time Aiden called her \'my woman\' Sarah felt a surge of emotions within her. She enjoyed every time he claimed that she is his. She leaped toward Aiden in a daze and hugged him from the back.

Aiden felt her clinging onto him and all anger he had disappeared. He turned his head toward her and smiled. "Can\'t you stay back a bit?"

"Then stop saying that I\'m your woman." Sarah whispered.

He turned his body toward her and held her chin with his fingers. "But you are my woman." He leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.

"I am yours... but hearing you say it, makes it hard for me to stay back." Sarah smiled mischievously. She got on her toes and kissed him.

Aiden enjoys seeing her eyes sparkle when she was playful, and he loves playing along with her. "I see... how can I beat him up if you are clinging onto me?"

Sarah sighed. "Don\'t beat him up, just break his arm and we can go."

Noah\'s eyes were on Sarah. He realized that she belongs to Aiden, but he didn\'t care. Even hearing her say to Aiden to break his arm, just went over Noah\'s head without sticking long enough for him to understand the gravity of his situation. His eyes saw only Sarah. No matter how vicious she was to him she is the most beautiful girl he ever laid his eyes on. He didn\'t care about pain.. He only cared about Sarah.
