His hand slips off my leg. His eyes roll back. And he passes.

Chapter 103

Vameer

Iblink.

Rune opens her mouth, but no sound comes out. Just droplets of blood, staining her lips.

She’s dying.

I am losing her.

“Rune.” I want to shout, but it’s a whisper.

Her grip slips from my wrist, and her hand lowers.

“Stay with me.”

Gravito explodes out of me.

The red dome of power shatters.

Human flesh is torn.

Vampires are knocked unconscious.

And the building starts to crumble.

Tucking myself over Rune, I jump straight up, through the collapsing building.

Chunks of cement collide with my shoulders.

I increase my speed.

The sides of the building are falling in as we break through the roof.

Up and up. I jump us higher into the night.

My heart slows.

More and more, it slows.

The Dreaded one can save her.

I close my eyes and focus on the magic I felt when we stepped through his portals.

I let my gravito feel for it.

Reach for it.

I turn south. Then a little west.

My eyes open, meeting Rune’s. “Do not leave me, Prinsessa.”

Her eyes close.

The air cracks as I jump, and she goes limp.
