AND THE WINNER IS .... Man-tastic Flash Fic - Tom Webb - FF-01
Congratulations Tom Web
The clamoring of armed men let him know
there was no way he'd be able to escape through the gate, especially carrying
Jason. If only he had time to get word to the mage, but that regret wouldn't
get them back to Cardonis.
Gabriel pulled Jason back over his shoulder
and melded into the shadows. Moving slower than he wished, he eventually made
his way to the stables. This time of night, no one would be there. It was only
a matter of saddling a horse and keeping the beast quiet, and he was ready to
make their escape.
Mounting the stallion, he pulled Jason on
behind him. The man seemed to be stirring, which was both good and bad. He
could bring unwanted attention should he make too much noise. The quicker he
got them away, the better.
Luck was with them, and the side entrance
to the keep was blessedly unguarded. Gabriel guided the mount off the
cobblestone path and moved into the treeline. The horse was surefooted, and
even in the dim light of the moon through the trees, he was able to put
distance between the castle and Jason.
The mission was a mixed bag of success and
failure. While Jason was able to get the information they needed to counter the
upcoming attack, the price he paid...Gabriel didn't want to think about that.
He had to get his lover examined to make sure the antidote to the poison was
effective.
If something happened to Jason, he would
take Castle Domina apart stone by stone to get to Ranier and mete out his
vengeance.
His thoughts dark, Gabriel almost missed
the tightening of arms around his waist. Almost. Soft lips caressed the back of
his neck, and all thoughts of the Dark left his mind.
