Chapter 53
Aaliyah
Tristan had lopped off the head of a vampire with his bare hands. He was the only one fighting more than a dozen vampires. And though I knew he needed help, stepping out would only distract him, so I remained inside the car.
Piercing the chest of a vampire with a stake, Tristan turned to the car to check if I was still there. As he turned, one of the vampires grabbed his neck, landing a punch on his face.
Tristan staggered backward, and when the vampire drew closer, he plunged the stake into its chest.
Another vampire appeared from behind, driving a stake through Tristan's back. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment as a shiver ran down my spine. When I opened them, Tristan had removed the wood, but he was bleeding profusely. He continued to fight off the vampires, but more and more kept coming.
