Gunner hissed when he felt the stake his back and dropped Jace to the ground as he moved to remove it, working through the pain. He smiled when Jace started to scream and dropped the stake on him, he'd live in agony for the rest of his life. Viewed as insane by all those who crossed his path. He dropped him to the ground allowing his screams to fully escape his throat. The screams bounced off the cave walls as he turned to return to Anna. However, he instead found his mother choking her. He saw her about to bite her... He growled, this was not allowed. No one was allowed to bite Anna, Moroi, Strigoi, NO ONE. He took a deep breath before he picked the silver stake up from the ground and threw it into his mother's back, through to her heart. She gasped as she dropped Anna to the ground before collapsing. Gunner looked at his hand, it was red and his skin looked at though it were melting. He let out a huff from his nose before he grabbed Jace by the collar of his shirt and tossed him toward Anna. He held her gaze, "This is what happens to people who cross me and you are going to show the world," He hissed before he turned and left her there. He started to walk into the depths of the cave, where more Strigoi awaited him, "I suggest you leave, Banana.

Maybe seeing Anna will help." She took a deep breath, "But we don't even know where she is... She left without saying goodb-" Serena didn't get through to the end of her sentence before her eyes widened, "She went after him..." She rose a hand to her lips, she hadn't even thought about why Anna had left because Sebastian's mother had stolen away her attention. However, Serena couldn't think of any other reason that Anna would leave Sebastian and herself 'vulnerable' to those who sided with his parents on the matters of their relationship. She bit her bottom lip, the only reason she would leave without a word would be to do something that she knew they would stop her from doing. Tears rose in her eyes at the thought of Anna going after Abigail's army. Who knew how many people that woman had turned and... what if Gunner had turned as well, "Oh Vlad...."
