Blood.
The gun Lily pointed at Aziel fell from her trembling hands. Her eyes wavered as fought between the lines of consciousness and unconsciousness.
The tall trees spun around her and her knees weakened. The pace of her breathing increased and her sight became blurry.
Her knees gave in and she collapsed on the floor.
"I'll kill you..." She muttered, stretching out her hands at Aziel who squatted in front of her. With the fall of her hand, she lost all consciousness.

Lily opened her eyes to a well-lit room. She lay on a bed, covered in a quilt with no one in sight.
Her eyes wandered around the unfamiliar room as she pondered on the last thing her memory served her.
Road of Oax, killing, Simon, blood... Aziel.
At the thought of Aziel, she immediately sprang up from the bed and looked around defensively. When she caught no sight of him, she gently closed her eyes and exhaled in relief.
She opened them back only to find Aziel seated on the bed, in front of her.
