Chapter Fifty-Five: For Our Future.

A scream hit me. Glancing through my hair, I saw Daphne tugging at her restraints while the vampire I wanted to kill bit into her.

With the knife I'd just used, I placed the sharp end in my palm, aimed and threw it. It landed straight into his back, only just below his heart.

His pain-filled cry was music to my ears, but it wasn't enough. I searched for Darik and Raven. They had their own battle going on with four vampires surrounding them. Raven had transformed into her shifter canine form.

Back on my feet, I swiftly ran towards them. Two vampires stepped in front of me and I halted. They made their move. There was no way I could let anything happen. I had too much to protect now.

I gripped their hair and smashed their skulls together. Strength I never knew I possessed caused their skulls to cave in. They screamed and I stumbled back, shocked. Darik appeared and sliced their heads off.

"Go!" he yelled.

I should not be that strong.
