shit,” he growled, his voice thundering past the field and spilling over all of us. “If you knew who I am, then you wouldn’t even dare to breathe in my presence.”
    Phix stiffened up beside me. Completely struck by Eclipse’s words, he hesitantly asked, “Who are you?”
    Eclipse smirked darkly. “What other Demon would have no use for a Source’s heart or blood?”
    I not only felt Phix stiffen up further, but I could also hear Demon Girl gasp in disbelief. The two of them had the “oh shit” reaction while the rest simply laughed mockingly.
    “A Dark Majesty?” the other Demons questioned in between laughs. They didn't believe him. With too much enjoyment, one of the Demons in the back jeered, “Why the hell would a Dark Majesty drive around in that piece of shit car?”
    A flush of embarrassment colored Eclipse’s face. He briefly quelled his furious expression at the reminder of the Rav4.
    “That’s a good point,” he murmured, obviously agreeing with this assessment. He hated my car, and life or death situations or not, he wasn’t going to back down from that belief. “Whatever the case,” he prompted, reverting back to the important matter at hand, “lower this force field and get the hell away from her now.”
    “I don’t think so,” San dismissed, already motioning for several Demons to come forward. “A Source is a rare commodity. She’s staying with us and she’s staying with us for a very long time.”
    “Get away from me!” I screamed when two Demons produced knives from their pockets and began to inch towards me. Panic burned through me with the strength of an inferno. I helplessly struggled against the bonds that held me, desperate to get away from my attackers. “Get away from me!”
    At the sight of me crying out in fear, Eclipse started to go crazy behind the invisible wall.
    “Get the fuck away from her!” he roared above my screams. He began to punch and kick at the force field, using all his strength to break it so he could save me.
    While Eclipse attacked the barrier from the outside, I could feel the blades breathe beside my neck, ready to cut into my skin. The sharp knives were millimeters from my neck when I suddenly felt my chair tilt backwards.
    It all played out so quickly. One moment, I was sitting on the chair, and the next, I was falling backwards and being caught by Phix and Demon Girl. To my surprise, they began to cut me free with their own knives.
    “Come on, little human,” Phix whispered, helping me stand up from the chair.
    They were able to save my neck from being slashed apart, but they couldn’t save my arm. Just as I felt them pull me away from the stampede of Demons charging for me, a blade suddenly cut through the flesh of my left arm.
    “Ahhh!”
    An agonized scream poured from my mouth as I fell back to the floor with Demon Girl acting as my cushion. Without any hesitation, she protectively wrapped her arms around me and pulled me to the corner of the room. We hid behind a large pillar while Phix crouched in front of us. He had a knife held out, pointing directly at the mob of Demons surrounding us. I didn’t understand what had gotten into Phix and Demon Girl. Why were they saving me all of a sudden?
    “Ugh.”
    I pressed my head against the pillar as blood continued to drip from the wound on my arm. I did not have the energy to wonder about their motivations behind saving me when I was surrounded by Demons who wanted to kill me. As I applied pressure to my wound, I looked up at my assailant.
    It was none other than San.
    There was a ravenous look on his face that terrified my very being. With my blood dripping freely from his knife, San tipped his head back and allowed the blood to trickle into his mouth. The results were instantaneous. As soon as he ingested my blood, his eyes glowed with the most powerful hue of red I had ever seen. Even with just a small taste of my blood, I knew that his powers had grown exponentially.
