My heart pounded harder, the sound echoing in my ears as I followed it. The trail led me through the hallway and I took the stairs two at a time, going out of the building. Then I stepped outside.

Bella seemed perfectly fine when I reached her and pulled her into my arms, I looked over her multiple times before I registered the trail of blood that led to my bathroom.

My heart raced, pumping the serum throughout my whole body with renewed vigor.

Mamá and Javier came over to me; Javier was bleeding from his mouth yet remained standing between me and the altar as if he could protect me from the apocalypse. “Flee mija " he croaked. “No " I replied. "We finish this as one.” Marco knelt in the middle of the golden fault lines his hands pressed flat against the ground blood streaming, from his eyes gold code flowing out rapidly than his body could produce it. “I can’t keep the patch on any further " he yelled. "The heart is resisting. It’s attempting to restart the bloodstream!” The scarlet heart perched over the altar pulsated once—BOOM—and all remaining reflections collapsed onto their knees heads lowered, as if in reverence.

Travis plunges his chest onto the dagger harder, the sharp tip piercing between the ribs until his eyes widen and I know the tip has reached his heart. I know the moment his heart has been pierced. A soft glow of light crimson coloring coats the blade. The stone begins to shine a soft white slowly turning a shade of pink as blood flows from Travis's heart. The stone absorbs the blood, changing color. Travis holds onto me, letting the blade drain his heart. He bites his lip while staring into my eyes.

His team exchanged quick, knowing glances, fully aware of what came next. He moved with care as he slowly removed the clamp from the aorta, the large artery responsible for distributing oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
