(GILBERT'S POV)
The moment the knife struck Vera, the demons swarmed Elena before she could even land properly. They slammed into her from every direction, dragging her to the ground and piling on top of her until she disappeared beneath their bodies. Marcus, Timothy, Samuel, and Derek screamed her name as they fought their way toward her, clawing at the demons with their bare hands and desperately trying to pull them off their sister. But there were too many of them. Every demon they dragged away was replaced by another, and soon, all five newborn vampires were surrounded, fighting desperately as the demons swallowed them one by one.
Then I heard the second scream.
I spun around, and Lisa was on the ground.
