My eyes snapped open.

I was slumped over the steering wheel. Blood dripped from somewhere on my face, although I couldn’t tell where. The windshield was completely shattered now, and cold air was rushing into the car through the broken glass, making my open wounds sting.

I sat up slowly. Pain lanced through my ribs. Wincing, I reached up and touched my forehead. My fingers came away red.

But it didn’t matter. I was alive, which only meant one thing: I needed to keep going. For Ella.

I fumbled for the door handle and pushed. The door groaned but didn’t open right away, so I shoved harder, using my shoulder even though it felt like my joint was partially dislocated.. Metal screeched against metal, and finally, it gave way.

I half–fell out of the car and onto the ground. The world spun. I pressed my hand to the dirt and tried not to retch. When I looked up, I saw headlights approaching. The SUVs. They were coming back to finish the job.

I forced myself to stand. My legs shook, but I managed to stumble away from the car and into the trees. Behind me, I heard car doors slamming. Voices shouting.

They were coming.

I ran deeper into the woods, using the trees for cover. Every step sent fresh waves of pain through my body, but I kept moving. I only stopped behind a thick oak tree long enough to shift. The transformation was painful with my injuries, but a moment later, my senses sharpened and my body strengthened.

Before the men could reach me, I took off running. Their shouts quickly faded into the distance as I wove between trees and jumped over exposed roots. I ran as fast as I could, and soon, I didn’t hear them behind me at all.

By the time I reached the edge of the woods near the hospital, my lungs were burning. My injuries screamed in protest with every movement. But I was close now. So close. I shifted back as I emerged from the tree line.

The automatic doors to the emergency room slid open. A nurse at the front desk looked up, eyes going wide when she saw me.

“Let me call a nurse-” she began, but I was already rushing past her. My injuries could wait. Ella, on the other hand…

I took the stairs, figuring it would be faster than the elevator. That was a mistake, of course; my body protested from taking the steps two at a time, and I had to stop on the second landing to catch my breath, but only for a moment. I pushed toward, using the railing to launch myself faster. Finally, I emerged onto the third floor and scanned the signs above the doors. Room 304.

It was at the end. The door was closed, but I could see figures moving through the slats in the blinds.

Iran.

When I reached the door, I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed the handle and threw it open.

The scene inside made my blood freeze.

Liam was on the ground, blood pooling beneath him. Richard was standing with his back to me, towering over him with a knife raised high above his head. And Ella-

Ella was on the floor beside her hospital bed. Pale. Shaking. Her eyes barely open. She was desperately reaching for something, anything, to help her fight back.

Richard’s arm began to descend, and I moved. I crossed the room in three strides and grabbed a metal IV stand as I passed it.
