In the next second i stand on a dark street, alone. "Oh god, what do i do now?" i ask out loud but my heart tells me to keep searching for Ella. Carefully i start to walk trough the street and between the buildings, following to where my heart strongly starts to lead me, even tho i feel a bit unsafe now when the boys are not with me. 

Then finally i arrive to the lords mansion. "Vaelra, are you still alive?" i hear someone ask behind me, i turn to look, the lord. I breath slow. "Strongly alive", i say. "I want to see Ella", i add. He looks at me surprised. "Did you come alone?" he asks and seems to be.. Impressed. "Alone. And i will leave with Ella", i say. "You sound pretty sure to me", the lord says. "Yes, i do because i AM sure", i say, suddenly not scared at all even tho this same man shot me last time. "You know i am proud of you of being alive after the shot and all, but i will never understand why to be so brave."

"Just join our side Vaelra and it will be all ok", the lord suddenly says, his expression changing. "I would rather die", i say sternly. "Then, i can finish you this time forever!" he yells. "Go ahead but my friend will be saved and you will NEVER get her to yourself!" 

"To myself? To myself?" he laughs. "She IS mine already!" he yells and smiles to something behind me. I turn to look shocked. It's Ella.. Her skin grey.. No.. No.. She has became a soul eater! "She does look differed, doesn't she?" the lord asks and walks next to me. "She did it Vaelra, she joined us. And now you can safe yourself and do the same", he whispers to me. "I rather be a blood drinking vampire than a soul eating soul eater!" i yell. He laughs. "Soul eating?" 

Suddenly i am so full of anger that i don't feat at all when i grab his collar and pull him close to my face. "Yes, soul eating", i hiss. "Ella is not a monster, you did this! Didn't you!?" i yell at him. The lord laughs. "Will you really kill me in here right in front of everybody just because your friend made a decision you cannot understand?" he asks. "No, not because of that but because you fucking forced her into this! I can see it from your eyes!" i scream. The lord stops smiling. "You see?" he asked actually surprised. I throw him easily on the ground. "Yes. And you can see from my eyes that i am being serious", i say furious. 

The lord stares at my eyes for a moment. "I think i see it", he says seriously as he gets up. Suddenly he grabs my arm and looks at my scar. "And i also see this. You are a human Vaelra and you still are not dead! How is that fucking possible!?" he hisses angrily. I stop.. His right.. I was doing death.. How the fuck am i still standing there? 

Just then the lord throws me on my back. "Are you undead Vaelra!?" he yells. "Let's try!" he adds and points at me with a pistol. "I know your last words already Vaelra, you said them last night. This is a nightmare, right!?" 

Then he pulls the trigger. There is a white flash in my eyes and then i fall, this time forever. "Vaelra!" i can hear someone's blood freezing scream. Ella's scream. 

I still try to get up. "Oh not this time Vaelra, this time you won't escape", i can hear the lords voice but i can't see him. He brings something on my throat. It feels like a pistol's head. He presses me down on the ground with his knee. "This is a nightmare, huh?" he laughs maniacally. "Not to me."
