“If there is no enemy, there is no war,” I whispered, stepping away from him as the skies filled with thunder. “You are wrong. Some of you really are just monsters. And you need to die.”
“Druella, my—”
I didn’t want to hear from him. Or anyone else. I didn’t want to see anything, and I didn’t want anything other than to destroy them.
They needed to burn.
All of them.
Vampire.
Burn.
Destroy.
It was the only thing my mind could think of. I could barely see anything in the world as I flew faster and faster, gripping the fire in my hands like swords.
“What in the hell are—”
I heard a voice, a vampire’s voice, and with one stroke, its head came clean off. Its body burned to ash, and I ran even faster. Where I was, I did not know. All I knew was…
Vampire
Burn.
Destroy.
“It’s a witch! Go run—”
Vampire.
Burn.
Destroy.
Over and over again, I could sense them, the monsters, close, far, all over the place. My hand was faster each time as I cut into them, the smell of ash the only proof they existed. But I couldn’t find her. I needed to find her!
“Lucy Ming. Give her to me!” I screamed, but at who? Where was I supposed to go? Why couldn’t I find her! Why was everything so dark!
Find her.
Find her.
Find her!
“Druella! Druella! Stop!”
Vampire
Burn.
No!
I knew that voice.
“Druella, can you hear me?”
Theseus?
