I turned around to head the other way

Malevolent

Claire cried against me, terrified

“Get the fuck away froround, and did the only thing that I could

I set the tree on fire

They watched the flames lick the wood before they panicked

Some sprinted back to the camp

But the others moved in

They attackedthe torch from my hand

I couldn’t overpower the her with my body

“Make theo away”

I cried…because I couldn’t

They marched us back to the dais, Beatrice’s blood all over the stone

Amon watched us, his eyes on Claire

“No!” I shoved the Malevolent off er, ready to take down any motherfucker that came for us

Claire buried her face into my stomach so she wouldn’t have to see

I held out the knife toward Aiant with ry tears “Don’t you fucking touch her”

Alance at the knife, not the least bit concerned that I had it in the first place “I s of The Divine—”

“Then I’ll check your heart with this knife”

Forneus rose to his feet, shirtless and in the sael”

I turned my knife on him “Stop this”

All he did was shake his head

“I coel, to stop this!”

Forneus stared, and for once, he didn’t have a smile

Ah he was several feet away

“Come near her, and I’ll kill you I’ll kill all you motherfuckers!”

Aestured to the Malevolent

The surge of adrenaline was indescribable I was fucking Kate Beckinsale in the Underworld filot the other in the sto his nose My arainst me at the same time, my knife held out at the ready

More came

I dida pile of bodies behind before they reme harm

Claire screamed as she was yanked away “Constance!”
