For a moment, Nexus' heart fluttered.
That's right- he thought; use Abby! use the child!
With his full might, still surging towards Tiffany's helpless body that was still thrashing on the floor, Nexus called out one last time;
"You want to loose your granddaughter? Just go ahead- do it." he purposely slowed- skidding to a gradual halt- and lowering his tone;
"Kill the girl," he declared- adding a note of finality; "Even if I forgive you, Abby will never forgive you! She will remember this day. She will remember how you crushed her heart- all by your damn self!"
In a throaty chuckle, Dracula threw his shoulders back.
His large cloak slithered like bat wings. As he slowly pulled his gaze away from Tiffany. His dry laughter- cold as ice, cackled throughout the courtyard. In the background, more shadows were emerging from the building.
