Aurora appeared out of thin air as she emerged into the underground crypt where Draco was imprisoned. Her gaze shifted to his lifeless form suspended midair while searing chains coiled around him, licking against his burning flesh.

A shaky breath flared from her lips as she clutched on the blood vial tightly.

A sudden whoosh resonated behind her and the already shadowy crypt darkened even more as a dark being manifested its presence.

The unexpected chill portraying Zamiel's presence as he emerged from the darkness behind her, left her startled to the point she almost dropped the vial, but she quickly regained her composure as she turned around to face him.

"I have her blood." Aurora announced, his intimidating red eyes meeting hers made her slightly nervous as she stiffened.

Approaching her, he seized the vial from her hold without a word and walked past her as he moved toward Draco to stand in front of him.
