I was slowly drifting once more into  unconsciousness for what felt like the hundredth time today. My mind was all it was left of me right now. For a lack of a better discription, my body looked and felt like it was dissacated. Ironic, right? It seemed Esther had the perfect revenge ready for killing her hubby. Not that I would let her be after all is over. I am not stupid, you know, even though I am totally terrified. I would survive this and get them all back tenfold. They set the bed and they will lay in it.

Maybe while I lay here dying I could get a plan for revenge ready. Not that I have anything better to do. Damn, I am going out again. No matter, I will have time later, I told myself. Even in my mind I sounded fake, this was really scary situation I was in. I might be strong enough, the Michaelson brothers were strong as well, but Enzo was not a main character. I needed to protect him with all I had. I hope he arrives soon.

Enzo's POV

I was running as fast as I could after I heard her distress call. Why didn't I hear or feel her the last days? Why didn't I notice? She was all alone, without us for days now. Anything could happen to my angel and it would be all our fault. We prioritised our own needs instead of hers. All we had to do was stay behind. At least one of us. But we chose to leave her defenceless. How could we do that? I would never forgive myself for doing this.

With the speed I was using it would take me about an hour to reach her. I had the feeling she was at home, but what if she wasn't? What if this was another thing I was doing wrong? I needed backup and now.

Still running, I dialed Elijah's number, which I got from Lyra's phone as I was leaving. Just in case. Good thing I did. After two signals he picked up.

- Who is this? - his voice cold and formal.

- It's Lyra. Something is wrong, very wrong. - I told him without introduction - I couldn't feel her for days and she just used the bond to call for help. She is in danger, hurry back!

I didn't wait for his response, I didn't think I needed to. They were going to be there soon and hopefully with some backup. I dialed Slater as he would be able to give me some insight to what was happening.

- Hey Enzo - his voice was happy and relaxed.

- What is wrong with Lyra? Where is she? - I barked, getting even more distressed by his nonchalant greetings.

- Lyra? - I senced his worry - What is happening?

- I don't know. A few minutes ago I heard her call out for help. Go to the apartment as fast as you can. - I told him without slowing down. I could hear him vamping to the apartment, sounds of the streets on the background. Few minutes passed and I was already going feral with worry. It would take me ten more minutes to reach her.

- I am here - Slater called out - Oh my god, Lyra. - I could hear his distress, it made me almost loose my mind.

- What is going on? - I don't know how he understood my words, they were a bunch of grumble in my ears. My heart was heavy as a rock, waiting for the dire news.

- She is still alive, but barely - his words washing over me like asid. - You need to hurry. I told her this might happen, but she was feeling fine. It is too fast to be the bond. It has to be something else. I don't understand.

- Give her blood - I said, closing the last minutes fast - I will be there in a few minutes.

There was a sound of fangs to flesh, gushing and soft words of coarsing. A few seconds passed and a soft cough was heard.
