Mitch's POV
I swung open the slammer door. My whole body was soked and I was completely out of breath but I didn't care.
Avi's life was at risk.
"AVI!!" I shrieked.
Then my heart stopped.
"AVIII!!!!!!"
I was too late.
Avi was aready stuck in a death trap, his neck about snap off.
"WAIT! NO!! STOP!!"
Avi raised his head slowly. His green eyes were un focused. His face was pale and lifeless.
"Mitch....?" He said, barely a whisper.
"Oh, Avi...." I cried, running to him. Some vampire guards yelled at me to back off but I didn't listen.
"What are you doing here, you're supposed to be home." Avi stroked my arm with a quivering hand. "You're so cold. You should've stayed home."
"That's not important right now. Why are you here? You did nothing wrong!!"
Avi chuckled. "I did kiss you before. I'm a criminal."
"Shut up." I said, wiping the tears away. "What happened?"
"Nothing. I just told some people that I was Scott Hoying and the pulled me away."
"Why on earth would you say-" I stopped and sighed. "Never mind. I'm gonna tell them you're the wrong person-"
"And say Scott's the right one?"
I said nothing. Avi touched my hair.
"Listen. I told them I was Scott Hoying for a reason. You can live without me. But you cannot live without Scott."
"That's not-"
"You can deny it a thousand times but it only makes it more true. So shut up and listen to me okay?"
I nodded and shut up.
"Mitch I saw you with Scott that night. You looked so happy. He makes you happy and....I want you to be happy. Look I was going to be out of your life sometime anyway. So don't think of me as dead. Think of me as.....gone on a trip. And when people go on trips they get forgotten."
"You're not gonna die!" I screamed.
"Mitch..." He kissed my ear. "I love you."
I was pulled back.
I screamed and yelled, fighting.
But I was pulled to the ground, kneeling.
"Mitchelle Grassi."
I looked up at the Head Vampire, Baxter. "Bax."
"So now you're dating. Mortals. I always knew this day would come. I just didn't know it'll be this soon." Baxter laughed. "Oh....classic Mitchelle."
"Shut up and let him go." I growled. "You were wrong, this is not the guy I fell in love with."
"Oh?"
"I fell in love with a vampire and clearly Elisha here made a mistake. You can let us all go now."
"Hmm. Interesting. Then why did you come in right now yelling?" Baxter leaned in close so he was just inches away from my face. "You can't lie to me, Mitchelle."
"LET HIM GO!" I shrieked. "KILL ME INSTEAD!!"
"No!" Scott screamed, appearing out of no where.
Baxter grinned, raising an eyebrow. "And now The Eldorado? Oh Mitchelle you are a very funny kid." He waved at Scott. "Hello sweetie. What are you doing here?"
Scott didn't say anything and Baxter's grin got bigger. "Well this is odd. I heard this Eldorado was the son of the RH. And yet he's in Transylvania with our best vampire, Mitchelle. In a Vampire Court. Strange, don't you think?"
"Forget him." I said, trying to get Baxter's attention. "Let us all go."
"Hmm. No." Baxter laughed hysterically. "Oohhhhh. You broke the rules, Mitchelle. You gotta stand for it."
"Then punish me, why are you killing him?!"
"We'd love to, really. Unfortunately there's a strick rule against vampires killing vampires. Sorry."
Then he waved at his vampire men, Tony Barney and Lick. "Let's get this over with."
"NO!" I screamed. "NOOOOOOO!!"
Lick and Tony walked over and tied me down. I kicked and screamed but vampire guards are stronger than most creatures.
I screamed so much that my ears started to buzz.
I couldn't hear anything but I saw everything.
I saw Barney walk over to the death trap.
I saw Barney pull a cord.
I saw Avi mouth, 'Good Bye.'
And I saw his lights go out.
Good bye, Avi.
