Children, don't give up on my story. This is called a climax. I swear you'll love the ending.

Sorry all, wattpad is being annoying and its doing crazy stuff. I have contacted them, and I'll try to make all the crazy stuff stop. My app has been really glitchy lately.

Adeline's POV

I clutched his body closer to me, hoping that something may bring him back to life. He can't be gone. That was too easy. They killed him too easily. He's the vampire king for fucks sake. How could they kill him? He's alive.

"My queen, he's de-" One of the citizens stepped out to speak, but I cut him off. I'm not in the mood to speak to anyone.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I didn't want to see any of them. My voice echoed across the green, grassy field. An angel's cry.

In the next couple of minutes, everyone scattered, leaving only a couple people left.

I hugged Gabriel's body, hoping he would come back to life.

"I can't do this alone. Gabriel, please come back." I whispered softly into his shoulder. A part of me realized he was gone. Gripping tightly onto his shoulders, I sobbed.

Eli entered my field of vision. He just got here. His face was filled with shock as he dropped onto his knees. For a couple of minutes, he just kneeled, trying to process what happened. I couldn't say I felt any different. It was all over in a matter of seconds. Just hours ago, he was alive.

"Adeline, let go of him, he's dead." Eli said, swallowing a lump in his throat.

I refused to believe what he said. Hot tears of frustration accumulated at the rim of my eyes. I cursed everything. I cursed the fates for putting me in this position. I cursed the people for causing this. I curse myself for being so foolish.

I can't. I can't let go of him no matter how hard I try. I'm glued to him. It's like a part of me is dead. Correction. A part of me is dead.

The cocking of a gun stole my attention. Lifting my eyes up, I saw Eli. His fingers wrapped around the silver handle of a gun.

The gun? Well, the gun was pointed at me. Directly at my heart.

"Eli-"

"Get up." He ordered.

"Eli, what are y-"

"I said get up." He commanded.

What was he doing? Why would he stick a gun to my head. Confused and terrified that my only friend was putting a gun to my head, I gently put Gabriel's body on the ground.

"Eli-" I started cautiously.

Before I could mutter another word, he fired the gun, startling me. My wings, which were still out, instinctively wrapped around me in a protective form. My hands were wrapped around my stomach.

Terrified and shaking, I looked up at Eli in fear.

"Get up." He said one more time.

I slowly lifted myself off the ground. My wings retreated into my back, disappearing.

"Take her and follow me." He said, motioning to someone behind me.

Before I could turn around to see who it was, someone harshly grabbed onto both my hands, holding them in a vice-like grip behind me. I turned to see who it was.

"Willie?" I whispered.

It was him again. My brother.

Putting the pieces together it finally clicked in my head.

Eli was working for Damien.

My brother shoved me ahead. Eli turned around and began walking as he put the gun down. My brother's hands were in a vice-like grip around my wrists as he pushed me to follow Eli to wherever we were going.

Eli's phone started to ring. He picked it up and proceeded to talk.

"I've got her. Now will you tell me where to take her."

I can't believe him.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Eli ended the call and started to text someone.

The people I trust always found a way to bury a knife in my chest.

It hurt. Everything hurt. Gabriel is gone. My father is gone. Willie betrayed me. Even Eli betrayed me as well. I'm alone; yet again. The world always finds a way to put me in this position.

I'm always alone.

Tears started to drip out of my eyes. I was confused, scared, and there was no one left to help me. I lost the battle. Now they are going to rip me apart, piece by piece, just to become more powerful.

"Were here." Eli said.

We were at what looked like an old abandoned cottage in the middle of the woods.

"Eli, you somehow managed to get her here, so you were worth the time." I heard the familiar, sinister voice.

Tears of fear still coming out of my eyes, I turned to look at him.

"Oh, stop crying, dear. You're wasting those precious tears of yours."

I couldn't stop. He was going to hurt me. I knew it. That fear of what he was going to do kept my tears flowing.

He raised his hand, backhanding me. The rings on his fingers hit my skin, leaving a stinging sensation on my cheek.

"Stop fucking crying." He spat.

I dropped to the ground in tears. It's not like I could control my tears! Believe me! I would of stopped if I could, but they just kept on flowing out.

Grabbing me roughly by my hair, Damien dragged me into the cottage by my hair. I screamed in pain.

He opened a door and tossed me into it, leaving me in the black void of the room.

•Author's note. Updates are most likely going to be really slow from now on guys. I have so much to do with school, that theres not enough time. Like I legit can't squeeze in even ten minutes because I already sleep like at midnight every single day. I somehow managed to get this update in! Don't forget to VOTE and COMMENT!!!

A lot of you have told me that you wished that Gabriel would die and Eli would swoop in. No one is there to save Addie now.

What the hell is Eli doing?•
