As Sira screamed, attempting to wriggle out of the Vampire's grasp, her efforts proved futile. The Vampire turned to me, questioning, "She with you?" Confusion clouded my face, but I nodded. Sira's sudden outburst perplexed me.
"Wait, wait, wait," she exclaimed again. What in the world was she doing? "At least let us know your name if we are going to die anyway. Who will we tell?" The Vampire's retort was cut short by Aiden.
"No one is dying, Sira," he asserted.
"At least I am not. I will gladly use you as an escape to go back to my wife and daughter," Diana declared. Sira gasped, "I am hurt, Diana. I am your family too."
"No, you are not," Diana rebutted.
"Both of you, stop it," Noah hissed at their childish behavior.
"Shut up!" the Vampire screamed.
"I just want to know one thing," Diana interjected, making him groan in frustration again.
"What the hell are they doing?" Liv whispered beside me. "I don't know," I muttered.
I checked my surroundings, searching for something, anything, that could help. I looked ahead to see Theo staring at me, his eyes shifting towards Sira.
"I want to ask why you are doing this," Sira asked.
"Aren't you scared of me?" he retorted.
"Can you answer the damn question?" Sira exclaimed, seemingly irritating him, as he swiftly moved to stand in front of her, choking her. I attempted to run towards her, but Liv's hand stopped me. I glanced back to see her eyes pleading with me not to go.
"Liv," I whispered, torn. "Please, I know I am selfish, but please don't go."
"Hey, leave her the hell alone!" Aiden shouted, but his protest was met with a punch from the man holding him.
"If anything happens to her, I swear to God, I will kill you!" Jacob screamed.
"Ava, why the hell aren't you doing anything?" Diana cried out. "Help her!" I looked at Sira; her face was starting to turn red. I freed myself from Liv's grasp and ran towards her, pushing the man aside to release Sira from his grip. Kneeling beside her, I urged, "Deep breaths, Sira, deep breaths."
"You coward! It took you this long to help me when I was on the brink of meeting the devil downstairs," she gasped. "I am sorry, I am so sorry," I pleaded, embracing her tightly. "I have the gun ready in my pocket," she whispered in my ear.
"You bitch!" The man yelled, charging towards us. Within seconds, I retrieved the gun and shot him, as well as the others on their knees. I then seized the man by his neck.
"Guess who got the upper hand," I whispered with venom.
"All done, snapped everyone's necks painfully," Theo said, joining me.
"Now, I think it's time to say goodbye, isn't it?"
"Wait," I groaned. "Yes."
"At least tell us why the hell you were kidnapping and murdering innocent girls," Jacob demanded. "Oh, right," Theo replied, mischief gleaming in his eyes. Before I could question him further, he launched himself at me, but before I could react, Liv came in front of me. My mind went blank; one second she was beside me, and the next, she was in front of me, with a wooden stake in her stomache. She fell back, but I caught her, kneeling to hold her.
"Liv, Liv," I murmured, averting my gaze to her stomach, where blood was oozing out. My heart pounded in my chest as I held Liv in my arms, my mind racing with fear and desperation. Blood stained Liv's clothes, her face pale and fragile against my frantic touch.
