Bella POV
I don’t pay attention to the number of people coming at us, though it’s a lot. The smell of blood and ash immediately sting my nose, dimming my senses to all else, and forging me on a mission to destroy the demons that have invaded my life. Vampires come at us from all directions, sprinting straight through groups and teams, isolating each of us from the others.
But we planned for this. We practiced. We learned how to deal.
Tactics, not emotion. Rely on your team, but don’t forget how to fight on your own.
Don’t let them see your heart.
I am fully prepared for fighting vampires; confident and ready to take them on. But the four that come for me, Hannah, and Laney? They are not vampires. Ash clings to them like the embers of a fire. Their eyes blown totally black.
