Chapter 50 - 49 - Defeat

Due to curiosity, confusion, and worry, Leo snapped his head in the direction of his comrades. Everything slowed down before his eyes: Alicia falling to the ground, Alice shouting her twin's name, Alice frantically running towards her sister, Michael pulling the sword out of Alicia's body, and how the blood danced through the air. Leo felt like his world came crumbling down at the sight. The thought of killing Maria's father- the thought of killing everyone but his comrades, crossed his mind as it sought the opinion of his heart. The abhorrence within him intensified as he clenched his sharp teeth hard to the point of almost breaking them. But the repugnance that he was feeling only lasted for a few seconds because the next thing that he felt was pain from a sharp metallic sword that was thrust ungraciously into his body.
