Girl, and I gulped uneasily.
    We were in danger before when these Demons had us cornered, but now, with their leader becoming more powerful from my blood, we were definitely in for a taste of Hell.
    From outside, I could hear Eclipse going crazy, still fighting to get to me. He was unaware that I had been injured until he caught sight of the blood pouring from my arm. Wrath filled his typically cool eyes.
    And then . . . he lost it.
    The world seemed to have stopped breathing.
    A cold draft entered the room, washing over the air like an ocean and acting as the harbinger of death. A light bulb above us began to flicker menacingly while the cold breeze became cooler. Akin to everyone sensing Eclipse’s power, a foreboding hush presided over us. Then, when Eclipse’s brown eyes morphed into the most beautiful aquamarine hue I had ever seen, the once peaceful setting changed dramatically.
    Boom! 
    The light bulbs in the room simultaneously burst apart, sending shards of glass to rain over the room. Not even the ceiling was spared from Eclipse’s fury. As though being pulled at by a hurricane, the roof tore open, releasing a stream of violent wind to terrorize the room. An onslaught of panic struck the room as this maelstrom of destruction took place.
    The only one who remained calm and in control was Eclipse. With rage embedded in his aquamarine eyes, he slowly extended his right hand and raised it above him.
    “Ahhhhh!”
    Screams penetrated the room when fifty Demons were lifted up in the air like puppets on an invisible string. They became nothing but wall fixtures pressed against the force field, which appeared to be in the shape of a dome. The only ones left on the ground floor were Phix, Demon Girl, San, and myself.
    San’s eyes were still glowing red after ingesting my blood. He looked pompous and unafraid of the power Eclipse displayed.
    I could feel my anger towards him start to cultivate. It infuriated me that he dared to drink my blood. I didn’t want him to gain any powers from it. I wanted him to be punished for what he did to me—just like everyone else.
    Return my blood , a cold voice inside my head ordered.
    A surge of energy seemed to have rummaged through San’s body, but then, just as quickly, his face twisted in anguish. Unable to withstand the pain, his knees buckled beneath him. I wondered what was happening to him, and I knew he had the same question in his head. My blood was supposed to strengthen him, not weaken him.
    “Even with a drop of a Source’s blood,” Eclipse said evenly, answering our unspoken questions, “you are not strong enough to overpower me.”
    San smirked while the rest of his Demons bellowed in agony at the torture Eclipse was bestowing upon them. To San, there was no longer any doubt that Eclipse was indeed a Dark Majesty.
    “Even if you kill me,” San started, announcing something that set us both on edge, “do you think you can stop what’s happening?”
    Eclipse lifted a brow in feigned interest. He looked bored with San, but entertained him anyway. “And what exactly is happening?”
    “There is a new royalty in town, your former Dark Majesty,” San managed to say before he cradled his stomach and gasped for air. He collapsed face-first to the ground and began to writhe on the floor as though someone was ripping his insides apart. Though he was moments from death, he never once shut up. A manic laugh escaped from him while he continued with excitement. “Your monarchy—your father’s monarchy—is breaking and breaking fast. And when it’s all over, a new dynasty will come into power.” Blood started to gush from his smirking mouth. “Go ahead and kill me. It is already an honor to serve the new regime. It is also an honor to see Lucifer’s son act all high and mighty for the last time—right before his Kingdom gets taken away from him.”
    An icy smirk appeared on Eclipse’s lips. Unaffected by San’s words, Eclipse merely tilted his head and asked
