As Charmeine appeared in Tabbruis’ dream, she was being carried away in darkness. He saw her being tortured on the ‘Altar of Judgment’ lying helpless and defenseless. Tabbruis was being held by the Elder Temple Guards doing everything he could to get to her. He screamed in horror as the Elder walked over to her with his fangs exposed and leaned down…
Tabbruis tossed his head back and forth and roused himself out of sleep. He got up and ran to the Master Bath to check on Charmeine, but she was gone. He looked around and saw her old clothes were on the bathroom floor with a used bath towel, but her shoes were gone. Tabbruis’ throat tightened and became very alarmed. Quickly, he ran out the bedroom and down the hallway. He opened the door to their castle wing and stood on the front entrance staircase landing. Tabbruis reached out with his senses and felt her heart beating which made him instantly relieved.
Tabbruis heard very soft music coming from the Grand Hall downstairs. As he started down the steps, Tabbruis heard Dmitri whisper, “Charmeine is in the Grand Hall playing the piano.” He saw his friend standing by the door to his wing of the castle.
Tabbruis nodded and began to head down the stairs.
Dmitri whispered, “Charmeine will surrender, Brother. I am sorry. She will not fight.”
Tabbruis’ heart erupted in pain! He felt like a two ton truck had hit him. With determination not to let it happen, Tabbruis whispered, “Charmeine is strong! We will be a family as God intended us to be! She will fight for our family!”
Dmitri whispered, “Ah yes, your family is set as God planned it to be on the dreadful day of the battle in Heaven. However, Charmeine is a Light-Bearer; she is a light of God. This woman is like the Son. She will sacrifice herself for her family. Tabbruis look into your heart. Do you believe Charmeine will let you suffer for her?”
Tabbruis hung his head and replied with despair, “Dear God, how could you do this again to my family? How could you rip Charmeine away from me and our son again?” He could hear music from the Grand Hall and it was so beautiful. Thoughts of Charmeine’s tortured face raced in his memory and began to tear quietly. He could not lose her all over again.

Sitting on the stair with his head in his hands, he said in a whisper, “I have seen it Dmitri. I know what you say is true. I cannot bear to go on without her. I would rather die.”
Dmitri put his hand on Tabbruis’ shoulder and whispered, “There is a solution to this problem Brother. You know it in your heart as well. Your family has something which is a great armor against its enemies… it is love. If you have complete trust and love, nothing can threaten or rip your family apart. All this requires is love!”
“Dmitri, how can I convince her to stay?”
“Tabbruis, if Charmeine had something to fight for and someone to fight with…she will stay. However, if you shield her, she will succumb to the Elder Council. My advice, my good and faithful brother, is to battle beside Charmeine, and never try to coddle her. Remember and heed what I say now above all else Tabbruis: Love and believe in Charmeine because she is much stronger than anyone on the Earth can ever imagine!” With that, he slipped back into his own wing of the castle.
As Tabbruis sat on the stairs, his heart was full of apprehension and worry. He was angry with God for trying to separate his family again. On the other hand, he wanted to chastise Charmeine for even thinking about sacrificing herself. ‘How can she ever think about leaving me alone? I gave her my heart, and she is going to break it!’ Walking down the stairs, he tried to believe there was a way out of this chaos, just like Dmitri said.
Tabbruis sat on a chair next to the door, listening to her play tenderly and adeptly, never knowing she was such a capable musician. As the notes filled the air, he thought, ‘Love… my family has love… we shall sit down and devise a plan to fight together. However tonight, I would like to see my Charmeine play.’

Quietly opening the door of the Grand Hall, Tabbruis came in but stayed hidden as to not disturb her. To see Charmeine play ever so lightly a Chopin Nocturne made his heart jump for joy. He thought, ‘Which Nocturne is that?’ Then he recognized she was playing Chopin’s Nocturne No. 2 in E flat. Her hands touched the keys gently. The music was coming forth lovingly. As she came to the end and the last note rang, she kept her fingers on the keys and let the instrument resonate until the vibrations died. Tabbruis said in a whisper, “That was beautiful my love.”
Charmeine was not startled like he thought she would be. Her head was hung deep in thought and said, “I will love you always until the day I die, Tabbruis.”

Tabbruis stood Charmeine up and hugged her. He closed his eyes, and thought, ‘God, how can I convince her not to sacrifice herself for us, but to fight?’ He began to kiss her gently and Charmeine opened her lips. He ran his tongue over her lips and parted them touching her tongue gently.
She moaned and moved closer to his body.
Tabbruis was heartbroken and began to kiss her passionately. He held Charmeine in a tight embrace wanting to enfold her with his body. He was excited with her touch and was burning with need and desperation.
Like a lightning bolt hit him, Tabbruis remembered Charmeine wanted to leave him. He stopped kissing her suddenly and shouted, “No!” He turned pacing toward the window breathing heavily.
She was confused and asked, “Tabbruis? What’s wrong? Are you angry I played the piano? This is such a fine instrument, I couldn’t help myself.”
Tabbruis furiously picked Charmeine up and with superhuman speed, went to their Master Suite, threw her on the bed and slammed the bedroom door shut.
She was afraid, but also… a little excited too at his impetuousness. He was gorgeous in his silk pajamas. Tabbruis’ body was highlighted by the moonlight and his chest was heaving with anger. He looked positively sexy and drop dead gorgeous. She was panting harder as she tried to keep her libido in check. It was hard, because Tabbruis reeked with animal magnetism.
Nevertheless, she was angry for the way he had just treated her. Charmeine thought, ‘If this was for playing the piano, there was not freedom here but a prison!’ She yelled, “Listen, you can’t treat me this way over a small infraction of playing the piano without your permission!” She started to get out of the bed.
All of a sudden, Tabbruis jumped on top of her and pinned Charmeine to the bed.
Anger raged through Charmeine and her hands began to spark.
He grabbed Charmeine’s wrists and held them over her head so she could not shock him. Tabbruis did not say a word. His face remained over hers.
She could feel his hot breath on her face.
Charmeine’s desire sparked now into an inferno. She wanted him badly and her desire was boiling. She knew he wanted her also. His eyes were black with lusty desire. The fire in his eyes was deep and burning out of control. Hungrily, she enveloped his mouth in a deep penetrating kiss.
His tongue raced over hers, and he growled.

Tabbruis has to convince Charmeine to fight!

She moaned in an urgent response and the weight of his body made her shiver.
Nevertheless, she was angry and could feel her wrists being held but not tightly. Charmeine pulled away in a pant and yelled in threatening manner, “Tabbruis, if you don’t want to end up with a current of electricity going through you to light up New York City, you will stop this now!”
In an instant, Tabbruis flew off of her and yelled, “I am sorry! This is not because you played that damn piano! God, help me!” He went out on the terrace and started to pace back and forth.
