A scream split the air as Aiko desperately tried to have the grimoire be a shield. Unfortunately, while she had learned to focus it into an offensive attack. Defensive was another thing entirely. She stared in horror as her friend slowly hit the ground, impaled.
It wasn’t long before Roen’s shadow dogs went to work on tearing apart people and he went to wrap an arm around Aiko’s waist, wincing at the blinding light. “ Aiko ! We have to get out of here! There are too many!” Aiko shook her head and reached for her best friend.
“No! I won’t leave her!” Roen shook Aiko . “Aiko!” He hissed. The girl shook her head furiously, but in time, the sound of screams was apparent to them both. Standing there in his full devil form was Mage. Quickly appearing at Alice’s side, he picked her up carefully in his arms and any vampire who got close as met with soul sucking energy fields.
A double layered voice was directed then at Roen and Aiko. “Teleport your asses out of here! We’ll rendezvous at Alice’s place!” Roen didn’t need to be told twice. Teleporting him and Aiko out of there, it wasn’t long before Mage appeared. He barely had any time to turn back to his normal form when Alice’s parents appeared.
Aiko was on the verge of losing her control on the grimoire, and Roen was trying to calm her down. “ Aiko!” He gripped her face in his hands. “Look at me.” Aiko couldn’t help but see the blood spilling onto the ground from where her friend was being held. “ Aiko!” He hissed. Blocking the view of Alice purposely, he pulled her against his chest as she began sobbing uncontrollably, gripping into her lover’s vest. “She can’t... she...” Roen had no choice but to simply hold her, both falling to their knees as Aiko continued sobbing.
Mage looked to his lover’s parents, his eyes narrowing. “Save her.” He didn’t really need to say it, but he elaborated. “I can’t and won’t let her be in this condition. I plan to take her as my mate soon as it is.” If all else failed, Roen would no doubt summon a god that could heal her, but the first row of defense was leaving her to Rachel.
