“Yeah, it is, isn’t it?” She looks down. “Such a perfect bite. Perfect mark.”

Suddenly, she grabs something from behind her, a loud scream tearing from her skin as she stabs it in the center of the place I claimed her first.

I fall to my fucking knees, the others shouting in shock around me.

“What the fuck?” Sinner jerks forward.

London’s teeth clench and she cries as she pulls the corkscrew out, stabbing it back into the flesh over and over again.

“Stop her!” Creed screams, but Legend is already there, reaching for her.

Before I know what I’m doing, he’s flipped over my back and tossed to the ground.

Spinning, eyes fucking wild, and sanity gone, I dart my hand out to fucking kill her, here and now, but London’s head snaps up and she thrusts a hand out.

My body surges into the air, legs and arms stretched straight out as I fly backward until my head and back are knocking into the wall on the opposite side of the room. No less than sixty fucking feet.

“Fuck,” Creed booms, moving for her, but she jumps to her feet, her head thrown back like she’s fucking possessed, and fuck me, maybe she is. Her bones break beneath her flesh as she wails into the air.

“Shit!” Legend rolls to his feet.

The windows vibrate, the glass shaking and falling to the floor, and when Creed touches her bare skin, her head whirls his way.

She gnashes her teeth at him, eyes blown completely fucking black.

It's enough to make Creed pause, and she laughs. It’s dark, echoed in death and destruction. She laughs manically before taking the fucking screw and stabbing it into her neck.

I lurch over in pain, anger eating away my senses.

She thrashes then, jumping down and charging at Creed.

He dips, dodging her swing of the crystal bottle, but as he comes back up, she manages to hit him across the head.

Blood pours from his ears and she chuckles again, turning to Sinner.

Sinner’s eyes glow white in an instant, his lips moving as he throws up an illusion, but she smirks, somehow seeing through it. She dives right off the edge he left her on, giggling as she falls toward the boiling lava below. When she breaches its surface, she locks her eyes on his, and drags him down with her, drowning him in his own trickery. Slowly, the illusion fades.

“Take her out,” Silver panics. “She’s … this is—”

I lurch to my feet, coming up behind her and taking her head in my hands. She growls, clawing my eyes until blood seeps into my vision.

“Knight,” Legend prompts with a shout.

My insides rage against me, but I look around at my brothers, at the shock and concern on their faces.

I turn on my own soul once again.

I snap her fucking neck, and she falls to the floor with a slump.

She dies for the third time.

Fuck.

Five

Knight

The alcohol hadn’t touchedthe edges of my stress, and neither had the Fae dust, but I sat still. Void of anything more than what I knew was happening. The lights flickered to the deep base of some fucking mortal song as I slowly raised the bottle of blue liquid to my mouth, allowing the sting of potency to burn my lips before swallowing. I hiss through the trail of fire it leaves in its wake, until it finally settles in my gut.
