He watched her sleep,

And instantly fell in love with her,

But he was forbidden to do so.

Not wanting anyone else to love Psyche,

He doused her with magic water from the fountain of Aphrodite,

Which made it so no man would love her.

Liam grunted and hissed, his body arching up from the pain.

"Game over," I whispered.

I pushed him off before climbing to my feet. I dusted my clothes and turned to him. He lay curled up on the ground, grunting and cursing under his breath.

At least he's out. I smiled.

Three down. Two more to go.

I turned towards them.

The little Crocotta bounded towards me with determination. My hands tightened on my pocket knife, but it grasped thin air.

Shit! My knife was still buried in Liam.

I turned towards the makeshift spear I had dropped accidentally and rushed to it. I was nearly a foot away when teeth clamped down on my ankle.

The Crocotta tugged me back and I slipped, my face planted against the concrete.

Crap! My nose!

It snarled and shook it's head, biting into my flesh. I cried out in unspeakable anguish and kicked it with my other foot.

It stepped back before making another charge. This time, it aimed for my head. Blood drained from my face.

It acted like a rabid dog that lived for the kill. Which wasn't pretty on my part, mainly because I have no weapon, nothing to defend myself with.
