Meanwhile, inside the cavern, Jennie was still standing there, her gaze on Lisa. He was still fighting. All the normal vampires and witches that the woman in black had left behind were all dead but the trapped hybrids were still coming at him like mindless zombies.

The hybrids never stood a chance. It almost seemed like they were ordered to sacrifice themselves, that their mission was to keep attacking so that Lisa would destroy this whole place, leaving nothing left standing.

Jennie had been calling for him but Lisa wasn’t responding. Whenever she approached him, Lisa kept on leaping away, either smashing debris away that was about to fall on her or kill the enemies that approached them.

She could only watch him while he did that. It was like Lisa had lost his sanity and the only thing on his mind was to protect her and to kill anyone and anything who dared to try and harm her. He didn’t look like her Lisa anymore. His nails had turned pitch black and his veins looked darker, as if his blood had become black.
The change was so drastic that she could no longer take it. She needed to stop him now. But how?

"Lisa! Please. That’s enough," she begged as she approached him again. She felt more uneasy as time went by because she felt like Lisa was starting to transform into something else.
But how could she stop him? It seemed like he couldn’t hear anything anymore. The only thing she could think of was for her to touch him. Maybe, like all those other times before, she might be able to stop him once she hugged and kissed him. But how? He wasn’t allowing her to get anywhere close to him!
Her throat felt raw and sore from trying to call Lisa, to try and get his attention. She could hardly speak anymore and her energy was slowly disappearing.

When she saw Lisa fingers start to turn black as well, she could only resort to this last idea. There were still remaining hybrids left and she knew that Lisa was going to go after them instead of just waiting for those things to get to them.
So she did the only thing left that she could think of to grab his attention.
She suddenly ran towards the group of the vampires. She didn’t know if this would work but all she knew was that Lisa would definitely come and save her. And once that happened, she would finally be close enough to hold him.

She ran as fast as she could towards the hybrids, hoping that Lisa didn’t jump before her and kill the hybrids first.

However, that was exactly what happened. Lisa was just too fast and he materialised between her and the hybrids. But, at the same moment, the ceiling fell apart and a large piece was falling straight on top of her. Lisa quickly turned around and he smashed that first, giving Jennie time to reach the hybrids. That was her only opportunity.

As she reached the hybrids, one of them grabbed her hand, pulling her into their small circle. Lisa wouldn’t dare to smash them all away with one swing because she was there with them. That meant that he would have to physically grab her and pull her away from the hybrids before he could kill them.And that was exactly what he did.The moment he grabbed her waist, her arms flew around his neck and she hugged him as tight as she could.

"Enough, Lisa, please," she begged. He felt hot, hot like a roaring fire. She felt like she was going to get burned by him but she didn’t let go and hugged him even tighter.

His breath was also just as hot. These changes that were happening to him made her heart tremble.

"Please. Let’s go home, Lisa. That’s enough. I am fine," she whispered so softly as if she was whispering to his heart. "Let’s leave this place now, okay?"

Realizing that Lisa had halted as soon as she embraced him, she slowly pulled back a little to look at his face. His eyes were all black. What was happening to him?
Shaking her head to remove these questions from her mind, she reached out to his face and tiptoed to kiss him.

"Lisa... come back to me," she told him. "Please stop now," she begged and kissed him again.

The next moment, the darkness in Lisa’s eyes began to evaporate. The white in his eyes became visible again and his black veins and nails slowly turned back to normal.

Jennie was so relieved but her relief didn’t last because Lisa fell to his knees again. He was back to his weak state.She held his face, making him look at her as the two of them knelt on top of the ruins.
"Lisa... look at me. Are you okay?" she asked him. Lisa opened his eyes. They were dazed, almost lifeless.

"My... wife..." he responded as he leaned his head on her shoulder. "I’m sorry," he added, his voice so weak and she knew he was having a hard time talking.
She panicked because Lisa breaths were becoming shallow. Was he dying? Was that transformation a form of self-preservation?
Her heart thudded so loudly in her ears from fear. At that moment, she remembered everything that woman had said. If her blood was special, maybe it could cure Lisa? That imposter woman was so hellbent in wanting to drink her blood that she wondered if her blood could help Lisa.

She quickly brushed her hair away from her neck. She didn’t know if this was the right thing to do. She really had no idea what would happen but it couldn’t make him any worse, right?
Holding his face, she bumped her forehead on his.

"Lisa... bite me. Have some of my blood," she told him and Lisa gritted his teeth.

"Please... just a little may do. If you don’t, I will die here. This place is collapsing, Lisa. If you want me to survive, just bite me and drink my blood. This will save you! Please. Just a little. You won’t kill me," she begged him.

The wound that the woman had inflicted on her neck was still fresh so she held Lisa face, placing his lips on her wound, knowing that being that close might make him unable to resist.

Lisa groaned but she held him firmly. "It’s okay, trust me Lisa. I’ll be fine," she said and in the next second, she felt him drinking her blood.
