He was sprinting through the trees as fast as he could, barely touching the ground and twisting past obstacles in a way that seemed as though he was passing through them. The pure panic under his skin prevented him from avoiding some trees, which he then would knock down as though they were nothing. All he knew was that he had to find her, that he could no longer feel her, that he had to save her.
It was with this desperation that he arrived upon the top of a hill, centered in a clearing, where he finally found her. To him, it felt like he stared at her for hours, as though time no longer exsisted or mattered- To an outsider, he only hesitated for a fraction of a second before he sprinted forward to lift her off the stake she'd been bound to and grasped her body in his hands.
Her raven hair was blowing slightly in the wind, strands falling between his fingers as he moved his eyes over her unresponsive face. Her pale blue eyes glazed over and staring into nothingness. Her fangs peeked under her lips in a long-useless threat, her voice silenced By a Silver stake which was held through her heart.
He felt many things. He felt his ceterie closing in on his location, desperate to find both of them. He felt the sun rising slowly over the horizon. He felt the loss of her, forever gone from his life. And he felt rage. He felt the rage boiled inside and caused a roar to erupt from his lips which had nothing to do with the sun burning against the flesh of his back.

From the book itself:
Elysia's life is turned upside-down when she's abducted by supernatural creatures with demonic eyes and threatening fangs. What's worse is she has no idea what it is they want from her, except that it has something to do with a side of her that she's never known.
The chances of Elysia getting out alive are slim, but perhaps with a bit of luck and a lot of bravery she can escape with more than just her life.

''What trick is this?'' The creature asked, but it didn't sound like a vicious question. He sounded... confused. When I didn't answer, he appeared in front of me, snatching my face in his hand once more and growling. ''What is that on your back?''
''I don't know,'' I blindly answered, but corrected myself quickly when his grip tightened dangerously, ''It's a birth mark, the doctors called it a... a Lichtenberg figure. My mother said I was born with it, I swear it, even though it's usually what happens when you survive being struck-''
''-by lightning.''
