"Darla, don't!" Kaizan spun around to stop her. But it was late. Darla had shot forward as she shifted min-air into her gray wolf. "Nooo!" Kaizan yelled. A guard had shot an arrow and it struck her in the back. She shifted back and fell on the ground with a loud thud. Anastasia was shocked as she looked at the chaos around her. Darla was on the ground, her body convulsing. Anastasia stifled a scream in her throat.
Her guards immediately got into action. They started slaying the soldiers but they kept on emerging from the shadows.
Kaizan leaped towards Anastasia to save her from the arrows but an arrow struck him and he sank to the ground with his body jerking straight. "Go! Run!" he said in a hoarse whisper. His eyes rolled and his body writhed. He fell on the floor with a shaft jutting out of his back.
