He was happy he’d ended her life.
The witch had done something terrible shortly before he’d killed her. She’d slaughtered a group of people. It had drained the last of her powers. Felix knew she’d done it in order to strengthen her powers. She was trying to grow strong once more, but it hadn’t worked.
Instead of giving her power, the experience had made her weaker.
She’d returned weak and worn out. His chains had lost all of their magical hold over him, and Felix had broken out. He’d seen his shot, and he’d taken it, and now he was alone.
He walked along the beach, kicking sand and rocks as he moved. He was a fully-grown adult man, and he lived on the worst fucking island in the world. If only he could break free. If only he could find an escape.
And then it happened.
He wasn’t sure, at first, if he was seeing what he thought he was seeing, but after he blinked a few times, he realized that he was.
“A ship.”
No.
Not a ship.
A boat.
It wasn’t a very big one, and it wasn’t a very good one, but it was definitely a small little boat nonetheless. The boat flowed slowly up to the beach. Felix dashed behind a tree, peering. He looked at the vessel, shocked.
Where had it come from?
Why was it here?
Was this going to be his way to freedom?
He crouched down, hiding himself from view. There were at least 30 yards between him and the boat, and he still hadn’t spotted the captain of the vessel.
Then he did.
His cock hardened instantly when he saw her, and he chided himself for having such a reaction.
“What the fuck is she doing here?” Felix whispered out loud.
He couldn’t help himself.
She was tall and curvy in all the best ways, and her long hair flowed down over her shoulders. She hopped out of the boat and grabbed it, hauling it higher onto the shore.
What was she doing here?
What was she looking for?
Had she come to rescue him?
He knew, even as the thought crossed his mind, that he was still on his own. This woman might be useful. She might be a threat. She could be here to find Ursula. Perhaps she was here for a different reason altogether. He didn’t know.
What he did know was that he hadn’t seen another person in six months, and he wasn’t wasting his chance.
&n
bsp; “Hey!” Felix yelled, stepping out from his position behind the tree.
Instantly, the woman’s head spun around, and her hands went up. Nothing happened, but he knew perfectly well what that gesture meant.
She was a witch, too, was she?
