Chapter 1

Fallon’s POV:
Make it stop! Please, God, make it stop. My body burns inside, like molten lava. Not a single spot feels untouched by this pain. Begging out loud just seems to make him laugh, so I beg in my mind instead. He laughs as he continues to gulp down my blood as if he can hear me, mocking me. I’m so close to passing out again. The pain is slowly subsiding as I give in to the darkness, yet he stops just short of me falling off that proverbial cliff.
"It will not be so easy, love. I will not let you escape me this time," his voice is hard like ice. I track his voice, wishing I could see the 'thing' causing me so much pain, but my eyes refuse to work. There is so much pain and blood. My mind, body, and soul just want to give up, to stop fighting.
I have only been trapped down here for roughly 24 hours, but it feels like so much longer. My mind is trying to remain calm and take in everything. I want to survive this, but I know I won't. Maybe it's best for everyone. My family has been gone for some time now. The only person in the world who will miss me will move on with her life. My mind is finally coming to terms with my body. I can't hang on. I can't fight anymore. He's won!
His evil laughter is cut off as all hell breaks loose. The ceiling above my head shakes as debris falls all around me. Growling erupts from up above. Fear worse than I felt moments before grips my heart. I stop breathing momentarily.
"I'm going to die, aren't I?" My voice quivers as the last of my resolve melts away. This is it. This is the end. If it weren't for the vampire that finished me off, the wolves that just broke in would complete the job. "That's right, sweetheart. You'll die by my hand, or rather fangs." I can't understand how, in this situation, he still has the time and energy to mock me one last time.
