Phantom held her as they flew up and over the cliff; once they landed they stood still on the ground. Saya in his arms, tears running down her face. Saya's angelic countenance expressing her deception, she was deceiving Solomon.
Phantom's wings curled around her, pulling Saya closer.
"Such beauty, my Angel of Darkness," he whispered impishly.
"SAYA!" Solomon shouted, appearing with Hagi. Phantom relinquished his hold on Saya and turned around, grasping Saya's arm and forcing her to swivel with him with a swift billow of his cape.
"Well, well, what's this?" Phantom asked contemptuously. Solomon took a few steps toward him angrily.
How I have such contempt for your ways,
Did you think that I would cower in your face?
Why would I leave Saya in your bed
To be defiled of all purity and innocence?
Why would I let her feel pain?
Solomon removed a silver sword from a sheath attached to his belt, as did Hagi. With another swift billow of Phantom's cape a sheath was revealed pressing against his leg and he dared to draw his blade at them. He motioned his sword under his chin and in front of his face; its sheen reflected the same ferocity in his eyes.
I welcome you both,
My old enemies
Why would you think I would harm her?
She does not deserve more pain than already bore
Did you think I would dare to harm her with contempt?
Why would I make her semblance and suffer pain?
Saya ran between Solomon and Phantom.
Please,
I implore that you leave
Solomon,
It's futile don't you see?
(Her heart belongs to me)
Saya stand aside and witness this challenge for your hand!
Phantom flew past her, Hagi's and Solomon's wings retracted from their backs. Solomon's wings were peach, Hagi's were brown. They flew into the air, the clang of their swords echoing.
The silver surface of their blades glowed white in the moonlight, they were fighting for her; an angel of darkness.
Savior, give me the strength
To fight my friends
Saya felt her heart being jerked as her white wings tore from her inside to the outside. Phantom had done that; he had poked her heart and the wings were exposed.
She flapped them once, and then twice. The third time she jumped into the air and glided on the still wind. She grabbed Solomon's blade, her palm burning and bleeding. Silver could only kill a vampire if it came in direct contact with their heart, their blood would cleanse itself after they fed.
"Please stop..." Saya whispered. Phantom pulled her aside and threw her toward the ground. Saya's wings folded and enveloped themselves in her body as she hit the cliff. Solomon was plunged into the cliff, Saya sat still in fear and shock. Phantom was about the strike Solomon when Hagi sliced his sword right through his chest. Phantom pulled himself off of Hagi's blade and struck Hagi in the chest too, just below the heart. Phantom was leaning over the edge of the cliff. He looked at Saya and grinned impishly, as if he felt no pain.
Oh,
(Parting is such sweet sorrow)
Fate is so unkind!
He fell over the edge of the cliff and into the ocean. Hagi stood up, blood dripping from his mouth. Solomon ran toward him and supported him because Hagi was weak. His wound was still bleeding; it would heal slower than usual, even after a feeding. The wound was so deep and close to his heart it could take days, perhaps weeks. It usually depended on the age and power maturity of the vampire.
"Will he be alright?" Saya asked regretfully.
"He will, we just need to get him to his coffin and some blood. Alas, Phantom is dead." Solomon said, at least, that was the case for the time being.

(At night he sang to me)
(In the shadows he hid)
(And now he comes to me)
(In flesh and blood)
(And though I'm sane again)
(I now apprehend)
(The Vampire of the Opera is here)
(To haunt my mind)
(To haunt your mind)
