Samas swung for Aelia, who didn’t duck, but did move, trying to get away as fast as possible. It probably saved her life. His claws raked across her back, snagged something she was wearing, and the momentum of the attack sent her into the wall right next to her with the devastating sound of breaking bones. All of that was better than ducking. He would have easily crushed her head into the wall.

Alexius moved so quickly, he nearly knocked me out of the booth. He wasn’t the only one running across the room as Aelia was slammed like a rag doll again, this time being flung across the room. Maxwell and Lucas were the first to get to Samas, who seemed as if he were a foot taller than both of them now.

Oh my God.

As someone roared and another crash shook the room, bits of wood shattering from something being destroyed, I looked for anything to do, anything to help. I saw Aelia on the floor and ran for her. I dove over her as something hit my shoulder, sending pain all the way down my arm and across my back. Once I knew I had her and nothing else was coming for me, I tried to move her, if only to get her out of the room for safety. I was certain she wasn’t dead even though she wasn’t breathing, and her heart wasn’t beating. There were only a handful of things that could kill a vampire, and she was safe from all of them, except the risk of her head being torn off or destroyed.

I was only able to pull her a few inches before she confirmed she was alive, screaming in pain.

“I need to get you out of here!” I yelled. I checked the fight, hoping I hadn’t drawn Samas’s attention. At that moment, he was trying to keep the others from surrounding him. Alexius, Isaiah, Maxwell, and Jamal were all there. In the seconds I watched, Samas lunged for Jamal and made contact. He was fast—faster than I knew Alexius could be and faster than Jamal could clearly handle. Samas grabbed his head, ripping it off in one clean action, then dove for the next closet vampire, Maxwell. Kamose attempted to tackle Samas, hard enough for the impact to be heard, but Samas didn’t budge. Lucas jumped on Samas’s back, only for the ancient to reach back and fling him off.

“Aelia, please!” I pleaded, pulling her again, keeping my eyes on the fight. I knew the door was closed, but she was struggling. I didn’t have time to assess her, and I knew trying to treat her right there would only get us both killed. I kept a hold of one of her arms and some of her clothes and kept trying to move her.

Every second felt long in the madness, everyone moving faster than a human could have possibly seen. I had a difficult time tracking much of it as vampires lunged and dodged, trying to get the upper hand on the monster Samas had become.
