Double cross

Navigating their way through the battlefield, both Cia and Layla were running as fast as they could to reach one one gate in particular.

Cia's hands couldn't stop trembling at what she had seen not too long ago, but at the same time, the sight of wounded vampires, their own side's and that of the enemy, as well as the cries of pain were distracting her, but not for the better.

Cia gripped the whip in her hand a little harder and swung it towards one of the vampires who came to stop them. The man had tried to block it with his left arm, but it got cut off and he immediately dropped the weapon in his right hand due to the sheer pain the loss of a limb and the still burning fairy blood caused him.

During this attempted attack, Cia had learnt a bit more about her weapons and why they were going to Alex, and now she was feeling even more terrible.
