Chapter 145

Stumbling back, she fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Aeris asked.
"Come on," Drusilla said. "Let's go. The pirates are all over the island. They've captured two mermaids."
"What about Madeline?" Aeris asked.
"She's fine. We need to leave."
"No… No. I can't leave Anastasia here."
"Have you forgotten she can't die? I've staked her before but—"
"But it didn't work for me," Anastasia cut her off with a smirk as she rose from the ground. She slowly pulled the stake from her chest and threw it to the ground.
