My eyes widened and they turned back to their natural color. Blood dripped from my mouth and onto the floor as I stared up at her, my hands gripping the sword and trying to pull it up. I need to feed, needed to get more blood in my system.

Al...Alexandra...

My blood-slicked hands slide on the blade, unable to grasp it and I gave up, dropping my hands to my sides and feeling my eyes start to get heavy. Alexandra noticed and her face softened, pulling out the blade but keeping it close enough so if I moved to attack, she could pin me again. Not that it mattered, I barely had the strength to lift my head. All I could think about was blood and Nova, wondering where he was while I felt this body starting to give up.

I stared up at Alexandra, my hand raised towards her before blackness took over my vision.
