surrounded us.
I turned to see who was was battling. It was Samuel and the Fallen that I’d just encountered.
Danyel started to moan louder. He was slowly coming to.
“Emma! Emma!”
Kad e was charging towards me, one hand grasping his sword, the other waving for me to either get down or move.
How could he see me?
I turned around and the last Fallen Angel was charging at me, his sword was raised above his head, only yards away. I gripped my dagger tightly and held it out in front of me. I instantly realized that I was no longer invisible. The Bloodstone was glowing bright red.
The Fallen angel swung at me, and as he did, I dropped to the ground just under his blade. I could feel the wind as it brushed against my face. He turned back and swung again, this time, his blade met my arm and instant pain shot through it.
But beyond the pain, I felt compelled to move.
I n one fluid movement I rolled over and jumped to my feet. I was behind the Fallen Angel, quickly pushing my dagger into the middle of his back. It went in easily, and I could feel the blade exit his chest.
I let go of the dagger and stumbled back wards. He turned to me. His eyes wide with shock. Blood dripped from the sharp metal protruding from his chest. He glanced down at the blade and then glanced back up at me again.
Kade came from behind him, and with on quick swish took his head clean off. It hit the ground with a thud, and rolled to my feet.
I jumped backwards and turned away .
B reathe. Breathe. Breathe! I urged myself.
I gasped and looked at my bloodied hands, and then it all set in.
Was I the one that was bleeding?
I checked my arm where his blade had made contact, but the suit was still intact and there were no signs of injury. I knew I’d probably have one killer bruise under there, but at least I still had my arm. With the force that he swung his sword, he should have easily taken it off. This suit, and Kade, had saved me again.
I looked at my bloody hands again, and everything became numb. My brain buzzed with the reality that I had just killed someone. It was strange though, like I was on autopilot and the suit had taken over and assisted me in that kill. But the fact still remained, I’d taken a life with these hands. I had pushed a sharp dagger into a living, beating heart.
My world started to spin like a tornado, and darkness slowly started to creep over my eyes. The last thing I saw was Kade’s beautiful face, concerned, rushing to catch me before I hit the ground.

“Emma,” Kade wh ispered in my ear.
I must have been in the middle of a wonderful dream.
Kade and I were walking hand-in-hand down a beautiful forest pathway. It was bright, and the trees were in full bloom, dressed in their entire fall splendor. He turned to me and smiled. His hazel eyes were sparkling in the brightness of the sun, and his touch sent electric waves pulsing throughout every part of me.
I felt happy. Happier than I’d felt in a very long time, and the gaping black void that was left by the death of my parents was filled because he was with me. Holding my hand. Making me want to live again.
A s we continued to walk, the sun began to fade away, and the forest around us became dark and ominous. Kade’s hand started to feel cold in mine. It felt different. Not the perfect fit like it usually was. I turned to him but the darkness that surrounded us was overpowering and enveloped us.
“Kade?” I breathed .
K ade’s hazel eyes suddenly changed into two blood-red eyes, glowing in the darkness. I screamed in horror as the fiery eyes steeled on me.
I tried to break loose from the grip, but whoever it was squeezed tighter, holding me still.
“Kade! ” I cried.
Whoever the red eyes were attached to didn’t answer, but squeezed a little tighter.
“S top! You’re hurting me!” I yelled.
“Emma . Emma.” Kade’s voice called.
“Kade! Where are you?”
