Meanwhile, inside the cavern, Abi was still standing there, her gaze on Alex. Alex was still fighting. All the normal vampires and witches that the woman in black had left behind were all dead but the trapped hybrids were still coming at him like mindless zombies.

The hybrids never stood a chance. It almost seemed like they were ordered to sacrifice themselves, that their mission was to keep attacking so that Alex would destroy this whole place, leaving nothing left standing.

Abi had been calling for him but Alex wasn't responding. Whenever she approached him, Alex kept on leaping away, either smashing debris away that was about to fall on her or kill the enemies that approached them.

Abi could only watch him while he did that. It was like Alex had lost his sanity and the only thing on his mind was to protect her and to kill anyone and anything who dared to try and harm her. He didn't look like her Alex anymore. His nails had turned pitch black and his veins looked darker, as if his blood had become black.

The change was so drastic that Abi could no longer take it. She needed to stop him now. But how?

”Alex! Please. That's enough,” she begged as she approached him again. Abi felt more uneasy as time went by because she felt like Alex was starting to transform into something else.

But how could she stop him? It seemed like he couldn't hear anything anymore. The only thing she could think of was for her to touch him. Maybe, like all those other times before, she might be able to stop him once she hugged and kissed him. But how? He wasn't allowing her to get anywhere close to him!

Abi 's throat felt raw and sore from trying to call Alex, to try and get his attention. She could hardly speak anymore and her energy was slowly disappearing.

When Abi saw Alex's fingers start to turn black as well, she could only resort to this last idea. There were still remaining hybrids left and she knew that Alex was going to go after them instead of just waiting for those things to get to them.

So she did the only thing left that she could think of to grab his attention.

Abi suddenly ran towards the group of the vampires. She didn't know if this would work but all she knew was that Alex would definitely come and save her. And once that happened, she would finally be close enough to hold him.

She ran as fast as she could towards the hybrids, hoping that Alex didn't jump before her and kill the hybrids first.

However, that was exactly what happened. Alex was just too fast and he materialised between her and the hybrids. But, at the same moment, the ceiling fell apart and a large piece was falling straight on top of Abigail. Alex quickly turned around and he smashed that first, giving Abi time to reach the hybrids. That was her only opportunity.

And that was exactly what he did.

The moment he grabbed her waist, her arms flew around his neck and she hugged him as tight as she could.

”Enough, Alex, please,” she begged. He felt hot, hot like a roaring fire. Abi felt like she was going to get burned by him but she didn't let go and hugged him even tighter.

His breath was also just as hot. These changes that were happening to him made her heart tremble.

”Please. Let's go home, Alex. That's enough. I am fine,” she whispered so softly as if she was whispering to his heart. ”Let's leave this place now, okay?”
