Last Mercy

(A/N: contains a few gruesome scenes)

"Shall we..."

"No," answered Julian resolutely. He had given his family too many chances. This was their fate now. He would not go out of his way to save them again, only to be backstabbed in the future.

As Samantha pleaded with Layla to get back, she noticed a pair of cold eyes watching her. She wasn't sure if it was just the effect of the 'medicine' or what, but she saw the tall and handsome Julian watching them from a short distance away.

"You! Is it really you?!" she called out.

She let go and walked through the crowd, like a moth to a flame, not realizing that her arms were being torn from her body.

Rayne watched in horror as Samantha continued to walk with a blissful expression, unfazed by the pain.

Her expression continued to twist between blissful happiness and a deep hunger, full of evil intent.
