Author’s P. O. V.
“Die,” Tyler said to him as he did numerous pieces of Mike’s heart and threw his sword on the ground. He looked at Zia, James was holding her.
“Zia,” he whispered her name as he cupped her cheeks; it was clear they both hide many things from each other but at that moment, the fear of losing one another, they did not care about the past.
“I am sorry, I guess, I have to… leave…” She breathed in pain as she said that; her body was slowly losing its warmth.
“She’s dying, “James said as he looked at me.
I gulped as I shook my head; “Not this soon,” I said as I closed my eyes for a second; the resistance stone came out of my chest.
“What are you doing? “ James asked him; he was scared; the fear he felt in his bones was chilling.
“The forbidden spell,” Tyler said as he saw Zia closing her eyes.
“Don’t, “She looked at him; the pain was swimming in her eyes; the easy choice for her was to die but with the graze, he was looking at her; she could not give up, the pain was beyond words but she felt if she left right now then she would never see him again.
“Don’t leave me, “A painful sob escaped her lips as she looked at him and nodded.
“Tyler that is a forbidden spell, there will be consequences we know nothing about, “James said as Tyler looked at him.
“I am ready to face any consequence but not her dying because of me, my name was written on that sword but she took the hit and it tore through her body, I can’t let her die because of me, not because of me, “Tyler said before he started whispering the words of the forbidden spell.
“Bring back to life,
Resist all you can,
Life saver, myth believer,
Be her saver,
So mote it be,” he said as the resistance stone started shining bright red.
He kept the stone on her chest for a few seconds as a scream left her lips as Tyler’s hands started to shake in anxiety.
He did not want to lose her; he could never lose her.
“TYLER!” she screamed as she held his hand tightly in a grip. Tyler’s eyes fell on her wound but it was not healing at all.
“Aaaaahhh, Tyler! “ She screamed even more painfully; Tyler could not do anything other than rub her head.
“It’ll be over, it’ll be over soon, “Zia continued to cry biting onto her lips as she felt the pain intensifying in her veins.
After what felt like forever; her hold on his hand became still.
“Zia, Zia!” he tapped her cheek but it looked like she passed out of pain.
“What happened? “ James asked cluelessly, well, Tyler’s condition was not any better.
“I don’t know why she is going through so much pain, the resistance stone always filled my wounds in less than a min, and it never pained at all, “Tyler said as he tapped her cheek but she did not open her eyes.
“We should take her back inside the castle, “Tyler nodded as he picked her in bridal style; He looked at Mike, he was dead and so were his people, Zia killed them all, and she saved him.
Tyler walked towards his room as James opened the door for him; Tyler walked towards the bed and laid her on it.
Her face was void of any emotion, no pain nothing.
Tyler’s heart was gripped in pain and uncertainty; he did not know what to do; he could not bear to look at her lifeless face.
“Did I kill her? “ Tyler asked all of a sudden as James looked at him in shock.
“No, No Tyler, you were just trying to save her, “James said as he kept his hand on Tyler’s shoulder.
“I killed her,” Tyler said once again. It felt as if he was going into shock.
“Tyler no, “James shook his body but he did not even look at him; he did not know what to do to bring him out of shock.
If things will go like this then vampires will lose their king; he looked at Zia; if he continued to be like this; James was sure his soul will leave his body. He did not know Zia at all but one thing he was sure of was that she would never want him to die for her.
Because of her.
What could bring him out of his shocked state?
Heat!
James thought as he walked out of the room quickly; his vampire speed helped him to bring a lighter; he picked a blank paper from the forbidden book and made sure nothing was written on it before he ran back to Tyler’s room with a lighter in his hand.
He looked at Tyler he was holding Zia’s hand; her body was slowly losing color; James was not sure if she was even alive or not. “I am sorry Tyler, I have to do this, “James whispered to him before he lit the lighter and kept the page of the forbidden book within the reach of the fire.
Soon the page started to burn as James threw the burning paper at Tyler. As soon as the burning paper touched his skin, Immediately he snapped out of his shocked state.
But that was not what bought him back to a normal state; it was the movement of her fingers; she had gripped his fingers unconsciously.
“James she is alive, my Zia is alive, “Tyler said as James too saw their intervened hands.
“Yeah, “he was trying to figure out what happened and how it happened. Soon enough, the little grip she had on his fingers was gone.
As he looked at her; “Heat, she responded to heat, “Tyler said as he looked at James.
“She is a supernatural creature, which one I do not know yet but she desires heat; her body had started losing heat the second the sword tore into her flesh.
“What are you trying to say? “ James asked him.
“She needs to have heat around her, “Tyler said as James’ mouth turned dry.
It was indirectly suicide.
