nearer. Time was almost up, and she still didn’t have a plan to save Ian’s life. The smart thing to
do was to walk away knowing she’d done her best, but she’d watched Ian too long. No, she
would not give up when Ian’s soul was so close to redemption.
“Maybe we should head back in. I’ll message Connor and see what he thinks,” Ian’s friend
said, but it was too late. Both vampires heard the danger approaching. His friend pulled out the
handheld crossbow and a knife while Ian drew two knives.
“Well, isn’t this a stroke of luck,” called out a human as he emerged from the woods
followed by six others.
“Is there something we can help you with, human?” Ian asked casually. His hands had
dropped to his sides, but he still held the knives. This came as no surprise. She’d seen him in
action enough to know this vampire rarely let his guard down.
“I think you already have,” the human said.
Kyleigh saw the inner struggle in both vampires. They obviously suspected the humans
were up to no good, but both were too noble to kill them without provocation. That was new for
Ian. No longer shrouded in darkness, Ian wouldn’t kill unless he had to.
Several other vampires stepped out of the trees, surrounding Ian and his friend. Kyleigh
was all too familiar with this type of vampire. These creatures kept her busy many days. Quickly
scanning the group, she found that all the innocent souls had been freed. With this newer virus
they were sometimes trapped in the undead body, which was a form of torture she wouldn’t wish
on the most evil person. She had yet to figure out how that was even possible, or why one of her
kind wasn’t summoned to free the poor soul.
Ian and his friend reacted immediately. The knives in Ian’s hands found their marks in the
hearts of two vampires, and Ian’s friend shot the crossbow at another vampire. Kyleigh watched
the battle before her with a sense of helplessness. They were too outnumbered and there was no
way to win. Even now, the shadows moved in, hungry for death and sin. Rubbing her arms
against the cold breeze that preceded the shadows, she watched in horror as Ian was surrounded.
A scream no one would hear escaped her lips when the knife sliced through Ian’s chest. He
collapsed to the ground, blood soaking the leaves. Her form wavered in and out with her rage.
Despair began to settle around her, but she refused to let it control her. Ian was too close to being
saved to lose him now. Whatever it took, the shadows would not claim his soul.
“Take the blond alive!” shouted one of the humans, obviously referring to Ian’s friend.
“Damaged is fine, but he has to survive with no damage to his face!”
Determination flashed in Ian’s eyes, and his soul brightened as he worked hard to conceal
his phone while sending a message. Then he buried the phone. Soon the blond vampire was
unconscious, and Ian was struggling for life.
“Should we finish off the other one?” asked one of the humans. “Looks like he’s still
alive.”
Kyleigh held her breath, praying to a god who’d long ago abandoned her that they would
just leave.
The leader laughed. “Looks like he’s in a lot of pain,” he said with a vicious sneer.
The urge to use violence against the human who obviously enjoyed the pain of others came
as a surprise to Kyleigh. It was a relief when they left the area so she could make her way toward
Ian. His weakened state meant she had only seconds to save his life. Her decision made, she
emerged from the trees, becoming visible to Ian.
Ian’s beautiful green eyes opened and focused on her as she approached him.
“Kate.” His voice was barely a whisper.
“Don’t worry,” she said in a soft reassuring voice, trying to hide her fear as the shadows
closed in around them. “You’re going to be okay, but we need to get you out of here.”
Wrapping them in her power, she bound Ian’s soul to his body. Thankfully he picked that
moment to lose consciousness, so she didn’t have to explain what was about to happen.
