until she was destroyed, and from the look in his eyes, he would be the one to do it. But not before he ripped Mitch to pieces and made her watch.

Chapter 1 2
"What was that?" Mitch whispered as he assessed the blank expression on Ciera's face. He couldn't tell if she was nervous, scared or angry. He knew one thing for sure, she wasn't happy. Had she seen something out his window? They were three stories up, how could there be anything looking in his window?
Then she was suddenly in motion. "We have to go…right now! Grab your shirt and a jacket, nothing else. We have to take your bike; the car won't be fast enough."
He grabbed his shirt off the floor, without another word, and began to put it on. Evidently he wasn't doing it fast enough, because she took it out of his hands and threw it over his head faster than he would have thought possible. He stuck his arms through the arm holes and she tossed him his leather jacket.
"He's going to kill us," she said as she took his bike key off its hook and opened the door to his apartment.
"Wait…who's going to kill us?" he asked nervously, trying to keep up with her quick pace and words.
She turned her head in his direction as they headed out his door. "I don't have time to explain anything right now. If we get to a safe place, I'll try to explain everything." God, how could she explain her whole immortal existence to a mortal? She shrugged and looked away. "If we don't…I want you to know that I don't regret anything." Her eyes filled with tears, but he couldn't see her face. She let a few fall then turned and grabbed him up in her arms like she would a small child. He wasn't moving fast enough, and it was only a matter of seconds before Dane realized what she was doing. He wouldn't let them get far. She knew how fast he was. He would take shortcuts that the bike couldn't. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with them, if they even made it to the bike. She was glad that Mitch owned a fast one.
He only gasped and shut his eyes tight as she grabbed him up and headed for the stairs. This had to look funny, he thought. She couldn't possibly weigh more than a hundred and twenty pounds.
Ciera tried something she hadn't ever tried before. She covered herself with invisibility, and then moved it outward from her body into his. She sent a silent thank you up to God as Mitch disappeared in her arms. Just maybe they would be able to get away.
Her plan had changed from that moment. Dane would see the bike driving by itself. It would be a dead giveaway. She had to carry Mitch as far as she could on foot. She was rounding the bottom of the stairs when the door was torn from its hinges and Dane appeared where the door had once been. She froze and covered Mitch's mouth with her hand.
"Ciera," Dane said. "You can't escape me. I'll find you anywhere you go." His face filled with rage as he scanned the small foyer. "Why? How could you do this to me? You know the way I feel about you, and I know you feel the same way about me. You can't possibly have feelings for this mortal when you are in love with me." He paused for a moment and took in several deep breaths to calm himself down. "Egli è la pena di morire per? You know that's what will happen. I hope that kiss was worth it, because it will be the last one either of you will ever have again. I can't believe you would do something like this after the time we shared together."
Mitch began to breathe again. He was sucking air very hard and fast through his nose. She knew what Dane was trying to do. He was thinking that if Mitch thought she had feelings for someone else, it would upset him and he would be the one to give their location away. It was working. She kept her hand pressed against his mouth and managed to press his nostrils together with her thumb and index finger. All was silent now, but Dane had sensed them.
He ran in their direction. All of a sudden there were police
