With full strength, she flew towards me sending me to the ground. She delivered my face with blows as the fire seared her skin. 

She kept on shouting in pain as she punched me, destroying my face. Finally getting a chance, I pushed her off me and climbed on top of her as she screamed.

My hands filled with fire covered her neck, sending heat waves with all the strength I had. She screamed looking me in the eyes while holding my hands. Her eyes suddenly became much softer and changed into fear. 

"Adriana! Stop!" I suddenly let go as she coughed out. 

My eyes shifted and I saw Toby running towards us in human form. Two brown wolves followed him and I guessed those were my best friends. I spat out some blood from my mouth while some still stained my teeth.

Toby ran to us and I stood up near Avalon coughing a fit making him stop immediately in his tracks. 

The fire burnt in my eyes as I glared at him in anger. "That is not your mate right now!" I growled at him and he nodded.

"I know! Don't just kill her." He shouted and the wolves walked towards me. He told me I could before but I knew he would change his mind. After all, that was the love of his life in front of him.

"I'll find a way. She knows how to release your mate!" I pointed at Avalon and she smiled as black blood ran down her lips. 

"I see that my rogues have failed but I'm the main point of this. I know I can but I will never release her. If I die, your mates go with me." She laughed again and tried to stand up before her eyes shifted behind me. "Oh wow, one is dead already." 

I looked at her in confusion but turned immediately to see Chris turn visible with a dark knife in his hand. 

"No!" I screamed but it was too late. He stabbed Zayn with it before Avery and Justin could run to him. Avery was the first to pounce on him as he screamed in pain. Justin followed as he tried to drag them off.

It all happened in slow motion. I ran towards my mate as his body calmed down visibly. Whatever the knife was, it was deadly. I ran to his still body as he tried to breathe.

Drops of tears fell from my eyes as I held him. "Look at me, babe. Okay? Calm down. I'm—" I tried saying but he shushed me.

"Wow, I never expected to die being stabbed in the chest. That knife was a perfect vampire killer and he is the only one active now. Do this. Don't talk. Just hold me. I'm not going to make this a dramatic death and say anything. I've lived for a rather long time-" He said to me as he turned his head to the side, tiredly.
