Hearts On Fire
Chapter 39:

Azar: “Hold on, doll. I’m taking you home.”

Azrael: “We need to follow him, Fenrir. I'm scared.”

Fenrir: “I don't know what to do.”

Azrael: “He won't be able to survive this. He's my son. I don't know what she did, but this…what if she doesn't survive? I’m afraid Azar will do something to himself.”

Fenrir: “If only we got here a few minutes earlier maybe we would’ve been able to prevent all of this.”

Azrael: “Do you think she'll survive?”

Fenrir: “You know I would never lie to you, love. I want so badly to tell you that she’ll but look at all of this blood. I think there are no chances.”

Azrael: “Our territory is far away. Did he bring her that?”

Fenrir: “I think so. His eyes are red again. You saw how fast he ran.”

Azrael: “Yes, but at what cost? He didn't need them. Now he'll only resent and blame himself. We need to go after him.”

Khiara: “Everything is clear. No one escaped but we found a warlock. He told us about his and Amaya's plans. While she was distracting Nash he managed to pull the innocent out. Everyone else is gone. Amaya won. Her and Azar took them all out. What's with those faces? You're scaring me. Where are they?”

Azrael: “I'll go, I’m the fastest.”

Khiara: “Dad, just tell me!!”

Fenrir: “Amaya’s dying. Maybe she's even gone by now.”

Khiara: “What about Azar?!”

Fenrir: “We didn't arrive in time but he was in really bad shape. Last time we saw them, Amaya was fine. I don't know what happened to her.”

Khiara: “We need to go now. Azar will go insane if she dies. We need to stop him.”

Fenrir: “Mhm. (earlier vampires home)”

Megan: “Hello.”

Jessie: “You're the Elder witches? You don't look elder to me.”

Melisa: “What did you expect to see?”

Amelia: “Old ladies on brooms?”

Jessie: “No. I don't even know what I expected.”

Megan: “Do you want our help or not.”

Sammy: “Of course we want your help. We're desperate.”

Amelia: “So you're dealing with a siphoner? How old is she?”

Sammy: “Yes and she's twenty two.”

Melisa: And you believe she didn't know of her nature?”

Sammy: “We're pretty much certain she didn't.”

Megan: “She siphoned the power from her own mate?”

Sammy: “When he marked her, yes.”

Melisa: “You weren't able to track her?”

Sammy: “No, not yet. We've been searching for over seven months.”

Amelia: “If she didn't know about herself, she probably doesn't know how to use the magic she absorbed. Unless there's someone to teach her. It can make her dangerous.”

Megan: “She can unintentionally siphon power from any source. the greater the power, the greater her attraction to it would be. I'm afraid we can't help you.”

Sammy: “Why?!”

Melisa: “We have a lot of magic and we are directly connected to our ancestors. It would be too much of a risk.”

Sammy: “Can you at least tell us how to reverse the magic? How to get her mate's powers back?”

Amelia: “I'm afraid there's no other way. Unless…”

Sammy: “Unless what?!”

Megan: “Unless she uses blood magic. She can give up and reject the powers she took but only reversal spell there’s…”

Melisa: “She would have to sacrifice herself. It's the only way to reverse the effects.”

Sammy: “There must be another way?!”

Amelia: “I'm sorry, but no.”

Melisa: “I feel really bad. I can tell that she's far from evil.”

Megan: “But almost every siphoner has her tragic end.”

Sammy: “Can't do this a favor? Can you locate her?”

Megan: “Of course. (they disappear)”

Sammy: “What are we gonna do?”

Jessie: “I have no clue. This is a disaster.”

Sammy: “The most important thing now is that we replace her. We’ll think of something. We need to hope it'll be okay.”

Woman: “Hope is a really dangerous thing. Be careful about it.”

Man: “Please don't mind my sister. She's always been an optimist.”

Woman: “I'm keeping it real. If the witches said it's the only way then it's the only way.”

Man: “Enough, M. I'm really sorry you didn't get what you wanted to hear but they'll locate her and I'll be coming with you, if you don't mind.”

Sammy: “Mhm. (back in the dungeon flashback)”

Amaya: “What have you done to me?”

Tyy Leon: “I'm sorry, I just put you to sleep, I had no choice. You were too angry.”

Amaya: “I don't know what you want. I won't let you break my mate bond.”

Tyy Leon’s Mindlink: “Can you hear me?”

Amaya: “Yes.”

Tyy Leon’s Mindlink: “Don't make a sound. Nash said it'll be only me with you but I’d be a fool to trust him. Even the walls have ears. Listen carefully to what I have to say. I'm not gonna harm you nor break your mate bond. You’re a siphoner, Amaya. The potential you have is immense. But Nash doesn't want you to know that. He only wants you to use powers you stole from your mate. I'll teach you everything you need to know but you have to be ready. What we’re gonna do brings a lot of risks.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “So you can hear my thoughts and I can hear yours? Wow. I don't care about the risks. I'll do anything.”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “Yes. Perks of being witches. Now hear me out. You need to kill Nash and break free and by that you'll set us all free.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “There's nothing I want more than to end him.”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “Good, we need that monster gone.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “So you'll teach me?”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “There's nothing much to teach you. You already have it in your blood. It'll come naturally to you and you'll know what and how to do it. I'll help you.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “Do you think I'll be able to do it?”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “I'm sure of it. The fire you've taken is hellfire. There's nothing stronger than that. But you’ll need to play along. Nash can't suspect anything until the time comes. You'll always need to be in the role. Even when you're around me we’ll communicate like this.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “There's only one thing I need to know. Once all of this is done, can you show me how to give the powers back? What is it?”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “I can show you but there's only one way.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “And that is?”

Tyy Leon’s Thought’s: “You need to sacrifice yourself. Die by your own hand. I'm sorry.”

Amaya’s Thought’s: “No need to be. I guess I always knew I'll never get my happy ending. But I wanna do the right thing. I'm ready. (present time in the hospital)”

In Azar’s head: I thought everything was lost. I heard Amaya's heartbeat. She was still alive. It was slow and faint but it was there. There’s still hope. My power’s being back, I ran with her in my arms towards our pack. I was scared that I'll be late and that there’ll be nothing left for the doctors to do. She was still losing so much blood but I decided to fight. I wasn't giving up on her. Now hope is all I have. But if death takes her…I knew that I’d join her and that gave me comfort.

Man: “Azar.”

Azar: “Who the hell are you?!”

Man: “I'm your only chance. We don't have time for chatting. I need to see your mate.”

Azar: “A fuckingvampire?! There's no way I'm letting you go near her.”

Man: “Listen here, boy. Stop wasting time. I know what happened. Your mate is dying. I'm the only one who can save her. You really don't wanna fight me. Now that's better. (Amaya’s hospital room). Stay right where you are.”

In Azar’s head: I didn't have another choice then to listen to him. I didn't know what his intentions or motives were but if you can save my doll, I'll do anything.

Man: “Hello little siphoner. You're such a beauty. It would be a shame to let you die. Ah, I can hear your tiny heart flutter. You sense my presence, I can tell. I'm not surprised. All of you love vampires and our blood. We better hurry. Drink it, love. That should be more than enough. You hear how her heart is already stronger, Azar? Your sleeping beauty will be just fine. I'll leave her to you.”

In Man’s head: Mates.

Azar: “Doll?”

Amaya: “Azar? Am I dreaming? I'm dead, right?”

Azar: “You're not dead. God, I love you so much. I have no idea how and I don't care but you came back to me. I thought I lost you. never do this to me again.”
