I try to stamp on them, drench them in darkness before they take hold.

My back slammed against the wall, and I coughed up a large mouthful of blood. Seeing me vomit blood, Alan just watched coldly. "Still being stubborn when death is at your door. Summer, when did you become so vicious? I truly regret saving you back then! If anything happens to Leilani and the baby, I'll make you understand what regret truly feels like!" I lay crumpled on the ground, blood continuously pouring from my mouth. Actually, it was not just Alan who had regrets. I regretted it too.

Her mind seemed fractured. Beside me, Fay spoke softly. "She's a pitiful woman. She had a beautiful family and a husband who loved her, but it wasn't enough.
