Nick growled so loudly that the ground shook.

“STOP TALKING TO HER!” he yelled.

His canines lengthened and fur started to appear on his arms and legs. Loud, menacing growls were coming from him.

Victor laughed and raised his hand in mock surrender. “Fine. I will stop talking. But I am done being nice. You had your chance. Little witch, every death from now on is on you. You are about to have a lot of blood on your hands. I hope you are ready.”

My breath got caught in my throat. Before any of us managed to react, Victor looked over at Cora.

“Let’s get what we need,” he told her.

She smirked and raised her hand. A black flame appeared, and it looked like the flame was caressing her fingers. If I didn’t know it was black magic, I would have thought it was beautiful.

“Interitio,” she said, and the black flames flew toward us.

Before we could raise our shields, another black flame knocked Cora’s spell out of the way.

Petra.

Cora screamed furiously and looked toward the forest. Petra walked out, holding her hand up high. I could see a black flame in her hand. Cora gasped and stood frozen for a second. Petra mumbled a spell, and Cora moved.

Her attention wasn’t on us anymore. Victor was furious. He looked at us and I could feel his magic rising.

He was powerful. More than I thought he would be.

“You are full of surprises,” he said, pissed off. “I will just have to punish you harder for this.”

A blast of his magic flew toward us, but Nick was faster. He raised a magic shield, and Victor’s spell bounced back.

This angered Victor even more. He screamed, and his eyes turned red.

Nick turned to us and nodded. Mike flew toward the man standing behind Nick. He snapped his neck in one quick move.

Victor didn’t care. He didn’t even try to stop him. His sole focus was on us.

I glanced at Petra and Cora. They were having their own battle. Black flames flew around them. Black clouds gathered above them, and I could hear thunder. The wind picked up.

I looked back at Victor. He was smirking darkly, looking right at me.

I’ve never been more determined. It was time we finished this.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN – The End

Gabriel’s POV

The way he looked at Aria made me furious. I will kill the fucker and dance around his dead fucking body.

I gathered my magic and I blasted it toward Victor.

He was fast. He pulled up a shield and his eyes snapped toward me.

“YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!” he screamed. “I CAN’T WAIT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR MAGIC AND KILL YOU!”

I smirked and fired up my magic again. Victor expected it and sent a blast my way. Aria put up a shield in front of us.

At this point, everybody started fighting. Annie and Mike ran toward Petra to help her with Cora. Nick, Jake, Aria, and I focused on Victor.

He was strong, stronger than I thought he would be. I glanced over at Aria and gave her a little nod. She was panting hard, trying to hold up her shield.
