Chapter 22 – Darkness

CALUM'S POV

"Luke, baby, why? Why would you do that?" I asked frantically as I gripped the handle of the sword from behind him and slowly started to pull it out of him.

He stopped me.

"Cal, listen to me first." He held my hands weakly, preventing me from moving.

Before he could say another word, we heard cries of pain from a few distance away from us. We turned our heads to the source of the sound.

"W-What is happening to him?" I asked.

"It's w-working." Luke said.

I turned my head to him, to find him smiling.

"We did it, Calum."

"What happened, Luke?"

We watched as Brendon ran towards the clone Luke to check on him.

"I found out that I have to intentionally hurt myself to hurt him. And that is the only way to defeat him." Luke explained simply.

"But why? To the point that you would take that blow for me?" I shook my head at him and gripped the handle of the sword, slowly pulling it out of him. This time, succeeding.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"I'm okay."

"Don't do that again, okay?"

"I don't know but the moment I saw Brendon charging at you with the sword, I just jumped right in front of you without thinking." He explained, looking at me straight in the eyes.

I sighed. "Luke, I lost you once. I'm not losing you again." I added as I pulled him close, our foreheads touching.

"You are not getting away with this." We heard Brendon say.

We diverted our gazes to him. He looks scary...scarier. Luke's clone is gone, all that was left of him were his clothes. It's like he evaporated into thin air.

"You ruined our dreams!" Brendon screamed, an overwhelming power surrounded him again.

In lightning speed, he picked up his sword from the ground.

Everything happened so fast.

LUKE'S POV

Due to my vampire instincts, I can perfectly see Brendon's movements. My eyes widened when I realized that he's about to kill the both of us. Fuck, there's no time. So, I did what came to my mind first. I pushed Calum away and took the blow. I coughed out blood as the sword pierced right through my newly regenerated wound once again. I laughed mentally, Calum's gonna be so pissed at me. I swear it.

"Impact Stab." Brendon muttered and an overwhelming pain struck me that made me cough out blood more.

"No! Luke!" I felt his warmth engulf me, as he held me in his arms.

"C-Cal..."

"Please, no, stay with me. Please don't leave me again!" He begged.

"I'll manage... Do what you have to do. I'm n-not going anywhere."

"He won't be able to survive, Calum. And you know that." Brendon smirked.

"You shut the fuck up, Brendon." Calum angrily said back.

He put me down beside a tree, making my back rest on it. The pain never left me but I will try to stay alive until Calum defeats Brendon. He kissed my forehead.
