There was a pause in the blood then the blood started clotting faster and scabbed over in the matter of moments. Grant saw the surprise on Alex and Vincent’s faces and said “The Vale clan is skilled with blood. Dante can hear it and things related, his brother can control it.” Dante lowered Damien down and cupped his face. “Damien? Brother are you with us? Can you hear me?” Ana flinched as the bullet came free and gasped in pain. Then she shuttered and said “please…protect them both…they are…important…” then she fell against Alex, her eyes closed.
