 As soon as he stopped moving, I gave up hope.  The world shook.  The sounds of war turned into an empty hum that made me feel like the whole world was holding its breath.  Elias was lying on the ground still, his hand still on the edge of my torn sleeve, as if he didn't trust me to stay put.  His lips were white.  His eyes are only half open.  He looked like he was just sleeping, but I knew.  I knew he was gone deep down.  "No," I said in a whisper, shaking my head. The word was hard for me to say.  "No, no, no."  Kael’s voice came through the ringing in my ears, sharp but faraway.  “Rory, you need to move.  The flames”  

 Every guard was thrown backward, falling into stone.  Darius protected himself, growling in pain.  I felt the blast tear through my chest  not fire, not magic, but something heavy.  “Stop!”  I shouted.  “Rory, stop!”  She turned to me, eyes sparkling like twin suns.  “You said he was gone,” she whispered.  “But he’s inside me.  I can feel him.”  Lucien coughed blood, pulling himself upright.  “You see now?  She’s possessed.”  “No,” I said angrily.  “She’s connected.  It’s different.”  He wiped his mouth.

 The words hit harder than any blade.  I felt them tear through the space between us, destroying whatever fragile hope I’d been holding to.  She brushed past me, her shoulder brushing mine, her touch colder than frost.  “Roryplease”  But she was gone before I could finish. Darius inhaled harshly.  “You just destroyed the one thing keeping her anchored.”  “She deserved to know.”  “She deserved peace,” he snapped.  “But

 The night darkened.  My body felt colder now, weaker.  The bite had stopped the blood, but not the truth.  Lucien knelt beside me again, his eyes still too bright.  “You’re shaking.”  “I’m fine.”  “You’re not.”  “I said I’m fine.”  He reached for my hand.  “If Elias’s soul is inside you, that means Selene can reach you through him.  She’ll use his voice.  His feelings.  She’ll twist them until you can’t tell the difference.” &n
