Crystal's POV:
Hearing the commotion, Lee pulled me out of the tub and shot me a look of regret. "I wanted to see you burst into a thousand pieces, but sadly, we have ourselves some intruders. Your chances are slim, but if you survive this encounter, I will be looking forward to our next meeting."
"No, you're not going anywhere! You think I'm letting you go after all the heinous crimes you've committed? In your dreams!"
I knew he would try to flee, so I rushed forward and clung to his arm.
Rufus was just beyond that door, along with reinforcements. I couldn't let this vampire escape.
But my head was buzzing, and my vision blurred. I was barely hanging on to consciousness.
"Fuck off, you bitch! If you don't let go of me, you will die before they even break down that door!" Lee snarled and did his best to shake me off.
"Then let's go to hell together. I told you before, didn't I? You must pay the price for the innocent lives you've taken!" My voice was getting hoarse, and my breathing was shallow. But still, I clung to him.
In the end, Lee had to resort to the blood curse again.
I gritted my teeth and braced myself. When his order went unanswered, he grabbed the dipper and splashed some more blood on me, and then kicked me away.
I crumpled to the ground and couldn't get up anymore. The curse was still taking hold of me. I could only lie there and watch as Lee disappeared
into the darkness.
I wanted to pull myself up and lunge at him, grab him by the leg, the hem of his shirt... But I was hurting so bad that all I could really do was to roll on the ground.
The physical pain made me want to die there and then. I felt hot all over, like I had been tossed into a fiery oven.
Rufus was yelling anxiously on the other side of the door. He was so close...
I opened my mouth to respond, but the only thing that came out of me was a gut-wrenching scream.
