*Teo gasped for breath, fighting hard to remain conscious since he knew the moment he blacked out, ….if it were even for a second, she would drive the wooden stake all the way through his heart and it would all be over. This wasn't the Claire the he knew. The cloudiness that he saw in her eyes told him that this was some sort of spell and she wasn't in control. The stake had already pierced the skin; being a pure-blood Claire was stronger then he was and it was all Teo could do to stop her from going further. Teo held on to her wrist as tight as he could, not wanting to hurt her.
