AMY

The light finally dimmed and silence and dust filled the hall. The floor cracked where the runes had seared through. And Clara was gone, melted away in the last glimmer.

But Amy was still there. She stood for a moment, then her knees gave out. I caught her before she fell on the ground.

She was shaking, her body ice–cold. I held her as tight as I could, holding us together. “It’s done.” I murmured, though I don’t know if either of us really believed it.

She murmured, “She tried to steal my blood”

Her fingers clutched weakly at my shirt. “It felt like something was tearing inside me. I couldn’t stop it.”

“You did stop it,” I told her. “Look at me, Amy.”

She lifted her head slowly. Her eyes met mine. There was fear in them, but also something else. Something sweet and honest that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“I’m fine,” she whispered.

“You’re not,” I said. “You need to rest.”

She tried to push away, but I didn’t let go. “Daniel, I can walk.”

“I didn’t ask if you could,” I said quietly. “I’m not letting you collapse halfway down th

She didn’t argue again. She rested her head against my shoulder as I carried her out o corridors were empty. Thankfully no one saw what had happened. The guards were stationed outside, unaware of what had just happened within those walls.

When we reached my room, I set her down carefully on the edge of the bed. She sat there, breathing slowly, she was focused on twisting her fingers together.

“You should’ve called for help,” I said. “You shouldn’t have faced her alone.”

“I didn’t plan to,” she replied, her tone flat. “It just happened.”

“Everything just happens‘ with you,” I said, trying to sound light but failed at it.

Her eyes lifted sharply. “You think I wanted this?”

“No,” I answered softly, “I think you keep putting yourself in danger because you can’t stand waiting for others to fix things.”

I sat beside her, my hands resting on my knees.

The silence between us felt thicker than ever.

Finally, she turned to me, her voice low. “She had my blood, Daniel. That means somebody in this house

“I’ll find out who,” I said. “You have my word”

She held my face with unreadable eyes for a moment. Then she nodded. “Thank you.”

When she tried to stand again, I stopped her with a hand on her arm. “You should stay here tonight,” I said,

Her eyes flickered with hesitation. “In your room?”

“Yes. I don’t trust anyone else right now.”

Her lips parted slightly, like she wanted to argue but couldn’t find a reason to. After a moment, she nodded in defeat.

She sat back down, and I reached for the blanket on the chair to cover her shoulders. But as I leaned in, her scent hit me. It was faint but warm, familiar in a way that made my chest tighten.

She looked up at me, and our faces were too close. The air between us thickened.

“Daniel…” she started, but her voice trailed off.

I didn’t know what came over me. Maybe it was the fear of almost losing her, or the anger that someone had tried to break what was ours, or maybe it was just everything we’d both been holding back for too long.

My hand moved to her cheek before I could stop myself. “You scared me tonight,” I said.

Her breath hitched, and she whispered, “I scared myself.”

We stared at each other in silence. Then I leaned forward, closing the small distanc started slowly, I honestly wasn’t certain if i should continue but everything in me like both of us were testing the line we’d drawn for so long.

She didn’t pull away. If anything, she leaned closer, her hand resting on my chest. I could feel her heartbeat under my palm, it was fast and uneven.

When I deepened the kiss, she let out a soft moan and the tension that we had between us for months finally snapped.

I pulled back just enough to see her face. “Tell me to stop,” I said, my voice rough.

She shook her head. “Don’t.”

The way she said it made nothing else matter.
