Abi’s heartbeats drummed in her ears, loud and fast.
As she walked closer to the woman, the world seemed to move in slow motion. She didn’t know if she was doing the right thing. She didn’t know who this woman was but she had immortal blood, like Alex. What if she was right and that was indeed what he needed to get better? Nothing else that she had tried seemed to work so even though she didn’t trust this woman, she had to try this out. She knew that this decision was a gamble and she hated that all she could do was this; to sacrifice herself but Alex was running out of time.
Alicia and the rest of their troops were watching the scene unfold but they were kept occupied by the vampires and witches who were determined to end them. How could they stop Abigail?! They all knew this was a bad idea, especially Alicia.
"Abigail! Stop!! You don’t have to do this. This isn’t the way!" Alicia yelled but Abigail didn’t hear a thing. It was as if Abigail was in a trance.
Alicia was in a slight panic and she turned her attention to the enemies before them, looking for a way to slip through their defenses and reach Abigail. Fortunately, Raven and Riev were able to create a gap between the enemy line and Alicia quickly took the opportunity to escape and head towards Abigail.
However, the moment Alicia landed on the stairs and started running as fast as she could towards Abigail, the masked man blocked her way.
Alicia looked up as she halted a few steps away from the masked man. She looked into his bright red eyes and in the next moment, Alicia pulled out her silver sword and held it up in front of her. It seemed she had to fight this man to get to Abigail. She knew that she was no match for him, after seeing him fight against the strongest vampire of them all. Even so, she couldn’t let him stop her. She needed to get past him to stop Abigail!
Taking a deep breath, she looked at her target. Her eyes were fierce with resolve as she lunged at the masked man, swinging her sword in a small arc towards his neck but the man easily blocked her attack and pushed her, causing Alicia to stumble a few steps backward. How the hell was she going to get past this man?! Her gaze went to Alex, who was slumped on the ground, then to Abigail who was only a few steps away from the woman in black and then on her opponent.
He really did seem familiar. Was he really Prince Ezekiel?
"Ezekiel? Is that you?" Alicia asked him. "Let me through. I need to get to Abigail!" she pleaded, but the man remained stubbornly silent.
