“Bring the computer with us,” Cosmo commands. “Let’s go.”

Great idea, but… “Er, hello. The door is still locked,” I remind him.

Cosmo casually flicks his hand at the door.

The lock mechanism releases.

“What the fuck?” I explode. “We’ve been trapped in here like prawns in a cocktail while you were dreaming of velvet slippers?”

He shrugs. “The fake professor was right. You morons would have gone tearing out of here straight into the arms of a fucking Conclave goon.”

“So?” Max snarls, shoving his feet into boots, then picking up his computer. “Not like they’d take us down.”

Yeah. Agreed. But whatever. This is not important. Getting my girl into my arms is the only thing that matters.

And finding the bull.

OK, I guess that’s important too.

Very, my centaur insists.

???

"What did they do to you, Sparkles?" Max asks.

I have Theo in my arms, and have been kissing her thoroughly for the last few minutes. Her mouth is like kissing a sunset. Pink and hot and beautiful.

“Sparkles?”

Fine. I let her go so she can answer Max’s question.

She gives me one last peck, then turns to him. “What did they do to me? Oh, you know, the usual. Drained my blood, filled me with a dark energy spell, then made me watch two little kids get sliced up so the Conclave could feed that poison into their souls.”

A deep sigh leaves her body.

All the happy, shiny sunset feelings crack and fall away.

Drained her blood?

And tried to fill her with dark energy?

Sliced up kids?

No. NO and NO, again. My stomach does a weird, sick flip. Those bastards trespassed inside my girl—fuckers.

Tee-Tee needs to be filled with three things only; her own blood (duh), the Lumina, and my cock (or my cum, either way works).

I’ll kill them all for touching her.

While I start imagining the most painful deaths I can, like maybe using my centaur bow and arrow and turning them into colanders, Max reaches forward and tilts Tee-Tee’s chin up.

“So then, Sparkles. Nothing you couldn’t handle.” His eyes burn into hers with a wild intensity.

She nods. “Yeah, you're right. Nothing I couldn’t handle.”

Too right my Goddess, my warrior queen, my love.

“But enough of that,” she says, clapping her hands on her cute hips. “Let’s go find Lu.”
