A/N: If you guys like this story, I'm going to suggest my other 1D vampire story "Blood Prince" which is on my page. Check it out? :) ~Jenna xo

Harry's POV

"What was in here?" I demanded, hoping I was wrong.

"Just, ya know, a LOT of vervain," she replied casually.

She let go of Callie and her body collapsed to the ground. It hurt immensely to watch something that could be fatal happen; especially for the second time.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because he told me to."

"Who?"

"Eliodoro. He said to kill her and to stop at nothing. You can't help her Harry; she's going to be dead by dawn."

The good thing about being alive longer meant that I knew a few things. Good things and bad things. One of them was that she very well could die from this. That was a bad.

"See ya," Dacey said before disappearing.

I got down on my knees next to Callie's body. Placing my index and middle finger on her wrist, I checked for her pulse. Luckily, her heart was still beating. But what if it had stopped? What if everything I worked for was thrown out the window just like that?

Honestly, I don't know what I would've done. Truth be told, I love her; I've always loved her; I'll never stop loving her. Maybe we were moving too fast, maybe that's why this happened. Or maybe things weren't moving fast enough.

You know what, no. Our relationship could move at whatever speed we wanted it to. The real problem here was Eliodoro. His damn compulsion got Dacey to be on a mission to take Callie's life.

My thumb softly traced over the top of her lips. I then leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"She'll be fine, Harry," a voice called from behind me.

I looked to the doorway to see Ambrogio standing there. It puzzled me because we'd all thought he had left and gone back to Italy.

"H-how do you know?" my voice shook due to nervousness that she would be gone.

"Because she's the Lamia Dea {vampire goddess}. Nothing can kill her... Nothing but one thing."

"What is it?"

"I don't know yet. But, I do know that she'll be fine; it's not vervain."

"How do you know that it's not vervain?"

"Because she would be dead already. The one thing that can kill her kills her instantly. I can hear her heart beating, so I know she's alive."

Just as I was about to say something, Callie's eyes opened and she sat up quickly, gasping. Well, I guess he was right about her not dying. She looked at me confused after catching her breath.

"How am I alive?" she asked.

"Because you have already transitioned, Callidora. You are basically invincible," Ambrogio interjected.

"I-I can't die?"

"Almost. There's only one thing that can kill you."

"What is it?"

"We don't know yet," I piped in."

"I need to get back to Florence. Harry, take care of my daughter, will you?"

"Yes, sir."

Honestly, I was a bit intimidated by her father. He is invincible and the strongest of our kind. No one would dare mess with him. Well, no one except for Eliodoro.
