"Big mistake." She says before cracking her neck in one swift move of her head. My mouth drops but before she can attack, Evan grabs me from behind and we are gone. I lose balance after landing on the ground roughly because Evan moved with vampire speed. We weren't where we were with the demons, I don't know where we are. I groan in pain, turning onto my back and sitting up. Evan is next to me on the ground looking up at me. I have cuts and dirt stained on my knees and arms. I'm picked off the ground by Evan using his vampire speed and I get a bit dizzy from all the fast movements. I groan in pain from slamming on the ground, punching the demon and landing here. Evan probably doesn't know how to run that fast yet in long distance and probably lost control. Especially while carrying someone than himself. Evan his holding me in his embrace, his back pressed up against a large tree. I stay quiet, grabbing his arm that's around me but something else is a little off than the demons. It's Evan. His breath is too close to my face, he is breathing deeply and shaking. I bite my bottom lip, feeling his tongue flick at the line of blood on the side of my face. "Evan, this is not the time." I whisper to him but he pulls away, pressing his head against the tree. "I can't, Adeline. I can't hold it. I smell it." I swallow hard, rubbing his arm back and forth. "You got this, it's okay." I sooth him but I stop when I hear voices. It's the demons. "I can't believe we lost them." Her voice says and I hold my breath. "We'll find them, don't worry. I can smell the boy lingering here." He replies back. "And I can smell her blood." She adds. Evan groans softy and buries his head in my shoulder. "Adeline." He whispers and I nod my head as an answer. "The lake is right behind us but they are there. I need you to run first than I'll distract them." I nod again, pulling away from him and turning around. Between the tree that I'm facing I see the demons look around for us. I look dead in Evan's eyes and he nods his head short and quick. "Go." His command makes my legs run off and down to the lake that I see shining on the ground. The demons snap their heads towards me and alarms ring in my head. My thoughts are driving everywhere and the only thing I can think of is getting in that fucking lake. The demons run to me and Evan comes from behind, punching the girl in the face so hard that her head snaps sideways roughly. My legs slow down a bit because I don't want to lose Evan. The man goes after him but Evan spins around him with quick speed and snaps his neck. Snaps his neck. Legit. Just like Phillip did to the woman at the feeding station. I didn't think Evan had the might to snap his neck or have the thought to do that. Hopefully the demon is unconscious until the sun comes up and he burns to death. The demon collapses into the ground and I slow down when the girl comes and screams, gashing her nails across Evan's face. I gasp, stopping from running and seeing blood spill off of Evan's face. Her nails sliced across his cheek with four bloody lines like it was nothing from bread. Evan's eyes flared a burning red with anger, baring his fangs at her while she bares her sharp razor teeth back at him. I watch them circle each other until she runs to Evan first. She kicks him in the stomach than punches him in the face. Evan snaps his head back to her and rams his fist at her face, punching her like she's nothing but a rag doll. She falls on her knees and Evan runs to me, grabbing me and pushing me backwards. "We need to go!" He screams and when I turn, the lake is right there. He takes on more step against me and we both fall in the water. I'm squirming around and I think I hit Evan a couple of times underwater. Finally I reach up for air and I crawl out of the water. Evan is gasping for air besides me while we both crawl on the grass. The water on me is gone and I sit up by resting on my elbows. I look around my presence. Thankfully we are in the vampire world in the grounds of the school. All of a sudden, the water splashes in the lake and a hand wraps around my ankle. I scream, getting dragged back in the water. The demon lifts her head out of the water, a smile curling on her lips. Evan grabs me by the arm, pulling me back. "You are coming with me." She growls and I bend my other leg back. "Let go you bitch." I scream because I am so done. She is not taking me. I kick my bent leg forward and it hits her square in the face, her head snapping back with her neck letting out sickening cracks. Abruptly her head flies off of her body, her blood squirting everywhere, especially hitting me and spraying along my face. I flinch at her blood hitting me and the flying head that lands on the grass near by. Her hand on my ankle let goes and her body sinks in the water, the dark blue water turning into a dark red. I'm breathing deeply, pulling my eyes slowly up to the figure that's across the lake and looking right at me. Mr. Hansel is squatting across from me on the grass, a blade covered in blood in his hand. An irate look in his eyes.
