Together with Tucker we jump down the tree to enter the garden of Castello di Fiamme. A flash of pain shoots through my weak ankle, but I ignore it as I keep running towards the glass doors of the mansion. Tucker aims at one of them before shooting a bullet, breaking the glass in million of pieces and we run inside, directly splitting in different ways.
Seeing it all in real life is different than on Greyson's computer, but I manage to find my way, until I come across an armed guard that aims his gun directly at me, before ordering for me to stop.
My heart clenches when I take my knife without hesitation and throw it straight at his torso, leaving him in shock and on the ground. I pass next to him, taking back the knife and start running down the stairs. Behind me I hear the voice of Damon, and I tense realising that they are here to stop me, but then adrenaline pushes me to go even faster.
After running through multiple corridors, I finally see the painting through my eyes that are now blurred with tears, and run towards it. On my first try I don't manage to unhook it, my arms too weak, nevertheless after trying again the painting falls on the ground with a heavy thud. I spot the keypad and start entering the six letters with my shaky fingers and I hold my breath when I enter the code.
I just hope it's the right one.
A flash of green appears and I let out a breath of relief, but nothing really happens, which makes me start to panic, especially when I hear the footsteps of guys running down the stairs now.
My eyes dart back and forth between the vault and the keypad and thankfully I see three small openings on the bottom of the wall next to the vault and I figure out that these are the keyholes for the necklaces. So with one movement I remove them from my neck and enter the sliver plates into the holes.
I hear a small beeping sound, before the big door of the vault opens in a crack and quickly I push it open with all my force and weakly climb inside. As I do so, I feel a pair of eyes burning into me.
My body turns automatically around and I wish it didn't, because there, at the end of the hallway, my eyes cross ways with Jace's eyes, and pure hopelessness reflects in them. He started running faster, I look away and shut the heavy door, before he could interfere in any way and see a button that indicates "lock" that I quickly push.
A small locking sound can be heard and a second after I hear Jace's broken shouts scream desperately, followed by his fists banging against the door, begging me not to do that.
With my body shaking through my sobs, I take some slow steps away from the door, while facing it, the image of Jace's look replaying over and over in my head.
"I'm sorry." I sob clutching at my chest where my heart is in pain.
I close my eyes so hard, trying to block out all the voices that scream to me not to do any of this and when I open them again, I acknowledge for the first time the room that I locked myself in.
