Elias covered his mouth with his gloved hand. His fingers tightened on his jaw as he continued to stare at Kade.
'He shouldn't die.'
Elias was not panicking, which was quite a surprise considering his paranoid personality.
However, Elias knew the reason behind his calmness. It was the glowing red orb present in the broken wine bottle.
It was affecting him.
Just looking at it started to numb Elias's mind.
If it didn't, Elias wouldn't have been covering his mouth with a blood-soaked hand!
'I should hurry.'
Elias turned back his gaze towards Kade. Yet, Elias didn't see Kade's body relaxing.
Seizures were passing through Kade's body, and his body started to twitch unnaturally.
"Aaggghhh!"
Suddenly, Kade screamed. His eyes opened, bulging unnaturally, his body twisting.
After this, his body went limp, as if he were dead.
Was he?
Elias turned to look at the split-open chest of Kade.
The heart! It was still. It was not beating.
Tick tock.
