The brief attack at his emotions sent Alec on edge. A smile no longer could be seen on his face. Rather a thin line, while he resolved with keeping on a cold look, that dominated his facial features. With a couple steps forward, Alec spotted a young boy run past him, faster than any human could possibly, yet just like Isabella he held a heart beat. Odd With the thought of her, Alec glanced at her kneeling form, the curse seemed to affect her badly. It made sense, after all the time she had spent in a cell. Alone, with only her mind to keep her company. Alec let himself a small satisfactory grin. She would never be the same. Although he was curious of her relationship with the wolf-boy that now seemed to be comforting her.
Then he swung his arm around, grabbing the girl that had been heading the way the kid went. Tightening his hold, Alec turned her around, back towards himself while he held a blade to her throat. His dark red-brown eyes catching Danny running away. No
"Dmetri follow him." Alec ordered, he didn't want anyone escaping.
Then his eyes fell upon the rest of them.
"No one move." He warned, as he dug the blade into the girls neck. Yet not enough to draw blood.

Isabella whimpered, she could feel her mind slowly detaching itself. Blinding pain and an ache in her head emerged as it shred apart. Then it lifted. The weight, the heavy burden of something dark and twisted.
It left her mind.
It took only a second for the stems of her mind to connect. Some parts going back to normal, while others remained damaged. Unable to work like they once did. That was where the pain cut off. Making Isabella regain sense of where she was again. It wasn't a surprise that she found her eyes leaking with blood. The liquid was full within her body, finding any means for an escape. Breathing in, to grasp onto a feeling of calmness Isabella leaned back. She only realized Kaiden was there when she did this. Still she remained in his embrace.
Seeking anything to bring her mind back to some sanity. She found herself comforted that Kaiden was with her at this time.
"Kaiden." It was said with relief, as if this was what she needed.
It was the sudden appearance of Alec with Evie in his grasp that made every cell in Isabella's body freeze.

Evie knew how it happened. She had been following Lelouch, then she was grabbed. Held tightly with a blade across her neck. It happened so fast, Evie's magic didn't even register it. Her brain only woke to the fact she was in danger, when the assassin spoke.
"No one move."
Evie's heart gave out an almighty lurch, as she started to panic. The fellow wouldn't think twice about slicing her neck open. The only reason she was still alive was because he needed them to remain in a group. Or he was just sick and wanted her to squirm. Glancing frantically toward Loki, Azareal and Isabella, Evie tried to smile, yet it came out all wrong. She was terrified. More scared than having to handle vampires in knocturn because she knew what these guys were capable of. She had witnessed, partically this guy's, power.
His magic even scared her. Fighting her pure magic, wanting it to submit to the fate he was going to give her. Still, none of that stopped her body from moving, trying to escape his hold. This action only made the blade dig deeper. Biting her lip, Evie settled at gripping hold of the hand that had the blade. Trying to move it away from her.

Somebody was following him. He was running through scrub and trees, jumping fallen branches. He wasn't paying attention. He was just running. He saw with something other than his eyes.
And yet, a small part of his mind picked up on the fact that he was being followed. Danny could have easily outrun him. It was only human after all. But something seared through him, setting his veins on fire. It out-weighed the pain. Pure, inhuman rage.
Uncontrolable
Danny stopped dead in his tracks. It was like a bitter poison in him. Seconds ago he was blinded by sorrow. Now he was blinded by anger.
As soon as the human-creature caught up to him, Danny pounced. Madness was written on his features. Anger contorted his face. A perfect monster, he had him pinned against a tree by the throat.
He knew the face, but only subconciously. He wasn't thinking. He just wanted to hurt. To kill. It brought him a twisted joy, knowing that he was the stronger one. The this stupid creature he had pinned against the the tree couldn't fight back, would never be able to escape his grip.

Loki and Azareal both snapped their eyes to Alec in the same second. They had resumed their movement as a singular being. They could hear Danny amoungst the trees. They knew that Dmetri would not be coming back. Unfased, they instead paid attention to Alec. They were both completely still. They looked like statues carved by a master. The illusion was ruined only when they spoke in unison.
"Let her go Alec" Their voices, entwined together, sounded eerie. "You know what will happen if you hurt her. We outnumber you now".

Alec's hand tightened around the girl. Not at all liking the noises coming from the forest. Then he heard nothing. No heart beat coming from that general direction. The only form of displeasure that showed upon his face was a slight frown. Inside though, he froze, then his mind went into chaos. Dmetri was his one and only second in command. He was the closest to him, they had a bond. Something much more stronger than friendship, a brother of sorts. To have that gone was strange. He was after all, trained for this.
The anger that came, he couldn't hide, as his face turned deadly. Frighteningly scary.
"No." Alec hissed. His dark red-brown eyes showed nothing. He could not be reasoned with. Even if he was outnumbered. He still had a few of his men standing. Ready to die for him. Alec knew that he wouldn't be working for the same people after this. There had been too many deaths caused by his orders. He knew the consequences. He would die either way.
Causing the blade to slide a little, Alec felt the skin slice as he took a few steps back. It was a warning. She would die, Alec was past letting her go. Not after Dmetri. This girl would serve as a clear reminder that;
He was in control

Isabella swiftly stood. Her violet eyes piercing Alec, while she quickly assessed the situation. She didn't want anyone else dieing. There was just too much pain, too much grief. Scanning them, Isabella felt her heart deflate. There was no way she could get to her in time. The only way she could possibly do anything, would be to cause a distraction. Or possibly a sacrifice?
"Alec, think." Isabella knew what she was doing. She spoke quickly, afraid their was no time for messing around.
"Danny would hurt more if you killed me instead. Evie hardly means a thing to him." Isabella stated, desperate in her negotiation. Already taking slow steps towards the two. Trying to find a weak point in him. So she could grab Evie from him. But if all else failed, than it would be better if Evie survived. It was all she could think of.
Than, maybe she would find peace with herself.

Evie stopped struggling, feeling her blood start moving down her neck. Making her remain still, immobile. She had to be honest with herself, she did not want to die. The thought made her depressed. She hadn't yet made a big enough mark on the world. She was an only child to parents she had yet to meet. An orphan who grew up on the streets. Really her life didn't add up to much, but she was still young. She still had a lot to give the world.
Her thoughts paused once she heard Isabella's sweet voice. Making her silver eyes zone in on her form. Moving toward her. Toward him. Her words, Evie mumbled out a whispered 'No'. Isabella always seemed to want to protect her. Give her advice, warn her and generally act like an older sister.
No, not this time.
Frowning Evie opened her mouth, her eyes flickering to Lelouch behind them all and back. "Bell, No. Think of Lelouch, he needs you." It was all she could say before his grip tightened around her. Even with her brave words, Evie was still scared.
She really didn't want to die. But she wasn't about to let Isabella die instead.

Kaiden growled throatily and held on to Isabella tightly. He could not explain how much he objected to her words. He held onto her as she walked toward Alec, dragging her back against his chest.
If Alec wanted Isabella, then he would have to come to her, and he would have to deal with Kaiden. He didn't care if that Evie girl died. He would dance in her blood, if it would keep Isabella from harm.

Blood was dribbling down Danny's chin. The bright gore was dripping onto his shirt, creating red tracks. It was on his hands, staining the pale flesh. He lifted a hand to his eyes, admiring the crimson droplets as they snaked down his fingertips, his wrist, and dripped to the ground.
His other hand was heavy with the weight of Dmetri's dead body. His corpse was completely drained, it had been so long since Danny fed. He'd been hungry. Anger still shadowed his mind, but not his thoughts. There were no thoughts. He was just... blank.
He did things without thinking about them. That was why he was at the edge of the trees.
It was why he threw the corpse at Alec, making it land so perfectly at his feet.
It was why he lingered for a second, his blood coated visage terrifying, before escaping back into the trees.

Isabella breathed out, trying not to think of Lelouch and how devastated he would become. But she needed to do this. After all, she was meant to die today, if not for.... If not for Lanor. Lifting her chin up higher, Isabella chose to ignore Evie's words. It was much harder when you thought about the consequence of such actions.
Stepping closer, Isabella really felt the tension rise around her. That and Kaiden's hold on her, making her stop. Making her moving toward Alec impossible. Frowning in slight annoyance, Isabella was about to ask Kaiden to let go, when Danny came. His mouth, hand's covered in blood. It took a second to know whose blood it was.
The man's body splayed out for all the see at Alec's feet. It looked like a cruel thing to do to someone, but Isabella knew she had ripped apart someone's neck much the same way earlier.
Finding this as a time to grab Evie, Isabella quickly jumped out of Kaiden's grip. Ready and fully prepared to rip Evie from Alec, when she was hit with an overwhelming scent.
Kaiden's scent
It was all wrong. She could smell his scent on her. On Evie. It made her slow down and stop as she looked at Evie, taking in the meaning of such a thing. Her mind flashed, as she felt anger toward her. Toward the fact she would do such a thing to someone, she...
Isabella didn't know what to do, her actions paused. Unable to move herself. Unable to continue, as she blinked rather like she was out of place.

Alec tensed as Isabella started talking, and walking toward him. The blade cutting deeper into Evie's neck with each step she took. Showing no care of the fact, Alec found amusement in Isabella's offer. To think she would be the one offering herself to him. Wanting to save a human's life. It just showed how lowly she had become. It made everything he was ever taught from the clan seem like a joke. As she looked at him with a plea in her pretty violet eyes.
"Tempting..." Was all Alec said, prepared to hand the girl over, to swap for Isabella so he could end her life. A life that wasn't even meant to be in his eyes. A half-breed.
All was going smoothly, soon she would be dead. And he would of broken so many lives. Alec didn't even need to look at Loki, to know she wouldn't allow such a thing. He had to keep the smug smile from his lips.
Instead, Danny returned. And Alec was looking down at his fallen brother. What was left of his control when out the window at the sight of Dmetri, carelessly tossed to him. His dead, cold eyes broke off and pierced Danny as he left. A growl erupted. He noticed several things at once.
First, Isabella's attemp at getting Evie. It would of worked too, if not for her hesitation. Alec didn't care. His hands already preforming the act, like countless other times.
Quick and clean.
The blade sliced deep, across Evie's fragile neck. The blood spilled out, like a fountain. Covering his finger as he tossed her into Isabella. Giving her a merciless look, before he preformed an explosion spell. Designed to explode out, leaving nothing behind.
Grabbing Dmetri's body, Alec fled. Like a machine he was meant to be, he left them. Even his own men, to the fate of death.

Evie's heart quickened. The moment she found she had hope. That she would be saved from death. She was prepared to be taken from Alec. Her eyes roaming around at everyone, but at the corpse at Alec's and her feet. The distraction was a welcomed one. She watched Isabella swiftly move to her, not even a second passed that she felt something wrong.
She was still in Alec's arms.
Blade still at her throat. Causing her pain the longer she was held.
She didn't understand why Isabella just stopped. Her violet eyes stared at her like she had done something wrong.
A hesitation.
Evie so badly wanted to shout, yell, scream at her. Tell her to move.
Nothing happened. Evie's heart beated just as the blade sunk deeper into her skin. Slicing her neck open.
At first she pulled her hands to her throat to stop the bleeding. She was breathing in and sinking in her own blood. The coughing came next, the blood seeping into her lungs. Drowning her. She didn't remember falling.
But she did remember looking into violet eyes, no longer breathing anymore.
As the world turned off the light and she was left in the dark. Knowing nothing more.

Loki and Azareal watched Danny come and go in silence. Watched Isabella try to save Evie then hesitate. Watched the girl die.
They watched in sorrow, without enough time to intefere. Their bodies only moved into action when Alec cast his spell and disappeared. Again, they threw themselves before the children. Urging them to move. Using their own bodies as sheilds.
They knew that they would not be able to outrun the explosion. But they got as far as they could, before throwing themselves to the ground, making Isabella and Kaiden fall with them. It was far enough. They would survive.
In its own way, survival was a curse.

"Evie?" Lips trembled as violet eyes looked down at silver. Unable to accept what she was holding in her pale, weak arms. The whole memory played across her mind, desperately wanting it to change. Wanting herself to take back the moment she had stopped.
It was all too much.
But before she could become like Evie was, like Lanor was, Isabella felt a tug to the side. It took a lot for Isabella to turn her head. Once she did, she found Lelouch beside her. Tears cascading down his flawless face. Looking lost and entirely out of place. His own violet eyes offered nothing, but the knowledge that he had seen everything. Slowly, Isabella lifted up a hand, placing it on Lelouch's head. Letting it move towards his chin before lifting it up.
"Leave now." Isabella ordered. She did not want the spell to hit him. She did not want Lelouch to see her die either.
Everything was crashing down around them. The spell widening, while the sky gave out a rawr of thunder.
It wasn't meant to be as Loki got to her. Causing her to survive. With the memories, the pain, the utter guilt.
