"Dying noould be far better than serving you," Leif growled at hi over the balcony The lycan already kneere there, so it wasn’t like I was giving away our position, but Jack glared at me anyway "He’s not the one you want!"
"You have no idea what I want," Gunnar looked up at me His face was that of pure evil, and a shiver ran down me
He walked to the center aisle, and the other three lycanto slaughter hih
"They’re going to kill hi!"
He looked atto save ourselves Jack was looking down at Leif, and I could al, but he was taking too long
I launcheds to snap, but they barely even hurt I even landed on , I would’ve felt pretty da like that
None of the lycan looked back at ain, I wasn’t much of a threat I stood up and I heard the sound of Olivia’s crossbow click back as she loaded an arrow, but I wasn’t the only one
Dodge and Stellan cocked their heads at the balcony, but Bear kept his attention fixed on Leif Dodge moved first, but he wasn’t as fast as Stellan, so the arrow sliced straight through his heart He collapsed to the ground, and I thought he ht burst into flames like in thein front of one Olivia fired an arrow at hih the air behind hi his speed as momentum, Stellan leapt from off the back of a pew up into the balcony No other vampire moved as fast as he could, not even Ezra, and even with the five of theainst him
In the moment of distraction, Leif took his chance to counterattack Bear, sending hi into the pews Wood splintered everywhere, and I realized too late that Leif had the situation under control
I looked back up at the balcony, feeling helpless as they struggled to keep Stellan at bay Ezra was trying to defend Olivia so she could load her crossbow, but even when she did et a shot off, Stellan was impossible to hit
"Hello, Alice," Gunnar whispered, and his voice was right inStellan that I hadn’t noticed hi behind me I tried to look up at him, and his hand was aroundinto the skin over ging , but I didn’t want anybody to know They would stop and look at et the to protect him, and I could smell Jack and Peter’s blood from fresh wounds Only Olivia had yet to be wounded, but she was dodging and diving al me away I knew that he would probably kill me, but whatever he did to me, I had to endure it silently That wasBear, but he seeround and grabbed a broken piece of the pew It had been the back rest, but it had been snapped in half, giving it a sharp edge Leif held it high over his head, then pluurgling sound, but I closedthe blood I heard the crunch of bone, and Bear’s heart fell silent Leif had decapitated hiue "It’s so boring and dull with just the two of us, don’t you think?"
"Gunnar," Leif said, keeping his voice low Blood stained his shirt and face, and he carefully stepped over the peards us "Let her go She’s not what you want"
"You are quite right," Gunnar sighed "But she is what everyone else seems to want, and if you take a step closer, I’ll slice her throat wide open" Leif stopped where he was, glaring at hi loudly, so everyone would hear him "What do you think, Peter? How much blood can sweet Alice lose in one day?"
Peter and Jack froze instantly, but Stellan went for Jack He tackled hi below the balcony wall, so I couldn’t see hiet in a clean shot if they were rolling about together Ezra ju to catch Stellan, but he moved too quickly, even with Jack in his clutches
"No, Peter, help Jack!" I shouted "He needs you , and I knew that he wouldn’t save Jack
Peter leapt off the balcony, his eyes never leaving me He walked deliberately slon the aisle, and I looked up at the balcony I could hear the, and how fast his heart pounded, but I couldn’t see hi killed I saw Ezra go flying across the balcony, landing hard against the wall, and tu down next to Olivia At least Jack’s heart was still beating At least he was still alive
Gunnar made it closer to us than Leif had, but he stopped just below the steps leading up the altar Gunnar had us stationed right below the cross When I looked straight up, all I could see was the e, and it didn’t help that a vampire was about to tear open my throat
