I ignored it, grinding my teeth as I crawled to my feet again.
“No, Rayne,” Kilter shouted as he tried to get to me.
Liam held Abby around the waist. She appeared dazed as she squinted her eyes as if she tried to focus.
Damien broke free of the vampire, grabbed the wooden chair closest to him, snapped a leg off, and pierced the vampire underling in the chest with it.. A shrill scream echoed then abruptly ended as he collapsed to the floor.
Damien turned to Abby and Liam, his face a mask of fury.
Liam backed away toward the stairs, Abby as his shield. Neither paid attention to anything around them but one another. I saw my opportunity. I grabbed a knife that had slid under one of the overturned chairs.
I’d need every bit of strength in order to make this work.
“When I put my hands on him, take Abby,”I said to Damien.
“No. Get out of here before I have to save your ass, too,”Damien said, his tone menacing. His eyes remained locked on Abby and Liam.
I approached Liam and Abby. “I can do this. If he takes her, we are all dead.”
I didn’t wait for Damien’s reply as I ran at Liam.
His eyes darted from Damien to me, but he didn’t seem too concerned as he half-grinned.
I slammed into both of them and plunged the knife into his shoulder. He fell back a step then chuckled. Regardless, it was enough of a distraction as Damien leapt, dragging Abby away as I put my hands on Liam and called to my ability.
“Simian, now. Rise,” Damien said.
Liam’s emotions plowed into me with red-hot fury. The intensity gripped my mind, bleeding my thoughts and filled them with his anger.
“What the…” He shook his head and staggered into the wall taking me with him, his arm locked around me.
I screamed when his fingernails pierced my skin and sunk deep into my back. Liam, shoved me aside and I fell to the floor on my hip.
“Fuck,” Kilter shouted.
I crawled to my hands and knees as Liam stood above me, but his eyes weren’t on me; they looked around the room. His face scrunched up and he hissed, revealing his long, white fangs. Then he went for me.
Damien said, “Liam’s going for Rayne. Two seconds.”
Liam bent, grabbed me by the neck, and lifted me to my feet. Then he grabbed me on either side of the head so hard it felt as if he was going to crush my skull.
His head jerked to the right and he laughed a high-pitched tone. “Your daughter is mine.”
He lowered his head and his fangs pierced my throat.
I heard a loud wail as I struggled to get free. Then my eyes hazed over and everything went black.
