“Yard security just got a priority alert. I can’t see who flagged it; someone muddied the origin.” “Rafe,” Lys said. “Or Kael,” Aria said. “Or Mother. Or a bored guard with a conscience. Pick your favorite nightmare.” Lys moved. She dropped from the third‑level catwalk to a stack of crates two meters below, knees screaming, then slid down a ladder bolted at a bad angle. Her boots hit puddled concrete with a splash. Voices shouted around the next corner. “…you see that glitch on C‑Nine’s feed? Something’s in there—”

Glancing at his watch, a calculative smirk spread across his features. Suddenly, the elevator shook. The lights went out in an instant, and they were engulfed in darkness. Louis seized his chance to speak. "Oh, it seems like the elevator is down. Ms. Solace, don't be afraid. I'm here with you." "I'm not afraid, though," Larissa replied, taking out her phone to turn on the torch. She pressed the emergency button in the elevator. However, nothing happened. Larissa's brows drew together. She realized her phone didn't have any signal.

He didn’t say Aria’s name. Couldn’t. He felt it burning behind his teeth, like a sin he couldn’t repent for yet. ~~~~~~~~~~ THE OUTPOST The doors groaned like they hadn’t been opened in decades. Sky’s voice echoed faintly from inside, guiding them to the lower levels. Roji was already sweeping corners. Inez was silent, rifle drawn, but her eyes never left the shadows. Lorenzo descended into the belly of the outpost, into concrete and rust. He found her in the med-bay.

– My voice is choked with emotion. She takes her time to say something, as if she wanted to understand what was going on. — I love you too, my love. I turn away from her, tears already flowing. — What happened, Aurora? – she asks me, worried. — Nothing – I say, letting out a smile – I just need you to get better soon and go home. She smiles, her eyes also filled with tears, but doesn't say anything. He just watches me in silence. — Good morning, girls – Lourdes, the nurse, enters the room and her appearance is of good news – how are you today, Desiree?

at the end of Verra's sentence a massive green pillar of mana shot into the sky. "What? What is that?" An uproar began around them. People began running towards the shelters, thinking the Falling Stardust was under attack. "It's coming from the Hurricane territory," Eloise called out. "Xasha!" Verra shouted in excitement and took off in that direction. While in the air, she saw a shadow passing from the corner of her eye and stopped. She around only to see a beardy and unkempt Xasha staring at her with disbelief in his bloodshot eyes.

Louis could see nothing but Lorenzo's eyes…dark, burning, desperate. "This is what happens," Lorenzo whispered, "if I don't hold on to you." He let go. Louis fell. The world tilted. Louis saw the chandelier above him, the marble steps rushing up, Lorenzo's face shrinking away. He heard his own scream…or maybe it was someone else's. Then the first step hit his ribs and everything went white. Unconscious and blood pooling beneath his blonde hair. Lorenzo stood at the top of the stairs, his chest heaving, his hands still reached out like he was waiting to catch someone who was already gone.

Lisa groans in pain , the chest was rock hard. "What the…?" His face turned hard. " How is this possible?" He stares at Lisa skeptical and angry. Lisa stares back horrified and confused. "Hey boys having a party without me?" A shadow appeared from behind. The vampire looked terrified and drops Lisa to the floor almost throwing her down. She fell hard hitting her head and all she saw was darkness. ------------------------------------------------------- Slowly opening her eyes she noticed light rays from the window. Even though she felt so alive the thought of being dead crossed her mind. It could be heaven after all.

Marcus rasped, his knees buckling under him. He slipped backward over the low handrail, falling two hundred feet into the churning, pitch-black waters of the sea cave below, disappearing forever into the Pacific surf. Liora Voss backed away toward the rear escape lift, her face pale as ash, her eyes filled with absolute, blind terror as she saw her entire life's work reduced to smoking ruins. "Aria... please," she begged, raising her hands, her voice trembling. "We can share the code! We can rebuild Blackbriar together! I have millions in Swiss accounts"

Liam whispered, voice barely holding together, “please stay with me.” She closed her eyes for one single heartbeat. One moment of breath. One choice forming in her chest. When she opened them the tear exploded with light. Jace’s hand clawed desperately toward her. Liam grabbed her waist and pulled her back so hard she stumbled. Mara screamed. The world bent. And suddenly Lola was falling. Not backward. Not forward. Sideways. Like the space between realities had tilted, swallowing her whole. The last thing she heard was two broken voices shouting her name

The Fallen said something but she can’t understand it The Fallen was the first one to make a move. He stepped closer to Zephyr and tapped him on the shoulder. Zephyr flinched by the contact but remain frozen. As soon as Zephyr’s attention turned to the Fallen, he let go of Lizzie. She fell to the ground gasping. her throat burned and she was taking a deep breath that added to the pain in her lungs. Linda and John run to her side worriedly. She was in a state of panic again and cautiously passed Zephyr. John picked up Senna, who was also currently in a state of shock and Linda held Lizzie’s hands.
