Darren's POV
"Do you think dropping your blood on her tongue would be enough?"
"I don't know, but there should be another way than stabbing her heart."
Rowena was livid, her face couldn't betray it. She stared at me for a full minute, her eyes unblinking.
"So you think I didn't think this through? A cut on her arm or neck would be useless. If you want this to work, your blood needs to go directly into her heart. It needs to make contact with the source. Do you understand now?"
There was silence between us. I looked at Rowena's hand. Stared at Diamond's naked chest. Cast my gaze to Rowena's face. With a deep sigh, I released her hand. I took a deep breath, steadying my mind for what was to come.
Rowena's hand crashed down, a deep cut appearing on Diamond's chest. With a pull, Rowena widened it. Diamond's slow beating heart came into view, blood spilling out. With careful hands, Rowena made a cut at the centre. She wiped the knife clean and passed it to me.
