FULL NOVELXO Chapter The End of a Big Bad Witch
"You! How dare you intervene between Selene and me? I told you to take over her body if given the consequence of her having the upper hand on me. Not the other way around."
"No more of this nonsense Carrie. I don't want to hurt you. End this quarrel, now. She's your own niece. You can't keep doing this! I won't let you. And I certainly will no longer help you." Her voice breaks for a mere moment. Fed up of putting Selene through many torturous events through their past.
"You will do as I say! Or I will put your ass back where you belong. Or would you rather I talk to my brother Hades? You'll be a great collection to the small group he likes to personally torment." She smiles evilly at Amber, making her eyes widen.
Amber knows quite well what she is doing. She is trying to scare her. To get her to coward away and continue to do her dirty work for her. Just like Joseph had done with Selene.
"No, Carrie. You will no longer use me. And I will no longer allow for you and Joseph to hurt her, EVER again. This is the last time you ever get to lay a hand on her and her brother. Your hatred towards your own family has bitter you to an extent that not even I would of dared to say. Your brothers would be disappointed in you Carrie." Amber tilts her head in shame and disgust, making Carrie sneer in anger.
She had always hated the fact all of her siblings had great powers, and hers had been partially stripped away because of her mother, the day she was thrown out of the gods and goddesses realm.
"You bitch! I know what you're doing. But believe me, that if you so dare to defy me and work against me, I will make sure that you regret it. I will kill you again like last time. And this time, I will have fun torturing you slowly!" She reaches out for the katana on the ground and steadies herself to charge Amber.
Amber glares angrily back at Carrie, lifting her hand and making the katana fly across and landing directly on her hand, making Carrie gasping in shock as she stares at her own hand. "You bitch!"
She darkens her eyes. Lifts her head high and scrunched her nose, slowly, she gets the crystal out from her blouse. She knows it will have enough power to kill both Selene and Amber as well. But she will have to find a way to kill Tyler and Blake if Joseph fails to do so.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? I am giving you one last chance to make up your mind, or I will make sure you end in limbo again you stupid witch! and this time, for good, you will have no way out. Do you understand me? Now do your damn job, and finish off Selene." Carrie stands to her feet, turning on her heel and begins to walk away to grab Selene's katana on the floor.
But before she can grip the katana off the floor, Amber uses her telepathy again, making the katana fly across the field and landing next to Blake's feet. He glances over towards the direction where the sword was tossed. His eyes widen in shock, but quickly grabs the sword off the floor as he sees more vampires launching towards him.
Carrie clenches her jaw, and slowly darkens her eyes to a deeper black than before, ready to use her magic for the first time against Amber in so long. "Don't you dare test me you stupid witch. I killed you once. I can do it again, and you know it." She sneers at Amber, making Amber become angrier.
She's had enough of Carrie, enough of her orders, enough of her cruelty, enough of her.
Carrie charges towards her, her hands prompt before her as they glow with an immense amount of energy surging through her hands, ready to terminate Amber if she has to do so one more time.
But Amber, who had always been fearful of using all of her force and true potential, for the first time, is ready to confront her rightfully. She grips the katana, and using the same technique that was now second nature to Selene, she allows her power to run through the sword.
Carrie charges her energy across, aiming directly towards the direction where Amber stands and hitting her target with great force. She is sure that Amber never saw it coming at how fast and efficient she is. Reminiscing on the first time she had killed her and stripped her of the crystal around her neck that had been given to her by the wizard Merlin himself.
The smoke cloud with energy surging through slowly begins to fade, bit by bit, she begins to see Amber on the other side, and smiles as she imagines the big hole she probably created in the middle of her torso like the one before. Probably even bigger this time, since she used more power than last time she killed her.
She smiles, sure of herself that she has won victory again as the big surge of energy that her power created dims down with the cloudy smoke. As the smoke and electric-like currents dim down more and more, her face fills with shock, seeing Amber standing before her unharmed, but also unarmed.
She narrows her eyebrows, eyes wide in shock and she finally feels a painful stab in her stomach. Not sure whether it's because of the betrayal or anger, but she has to be sure. Her hands slowly rise, and her energy feels completely drained. No more power in her being.
A cold shiver engulfs her. Slowly, she stares down her stomach as the pain becomes unbearable. Her lungs become heavy, and she has difficulty to breath, her esophagus tightens by the intrusion of blood making its way out of her body and out her mouth and stomach, staining her combat gear and uniform.
No ONE had ever been successful in killing her. Or more like, no one had ever, even with their greatest power and force, had been successful in taking her down. Amber smiles. She had finally triumphed in taking down their biggest threat.
A sense of peace filling her heart. Every one can finally rest and have a fair chance at being happy, as a great peace over takes her. She can finally set herself free from Carrie. She can finally take a chance herself, to make things right. For Selene and Blake. For Tyler, for Damian.
She falls to her knees, hands embracing the feel of the dirt that for the first time on so long feel so good in her hands. The dirt that calls out freedom to her.
Blake slides Selene's katana across the torso of a vampire, setting it in a ball of fire and turning to hit another target when he spots Carrie falling to the ground.
His eyes widen in suspense and pride as he sees Selene standing in victory over her body. Tyler falls to the ground and is attacked by a massive vampire, but he shifts again to Asher, hitting the vampire in mid air with his snout and launching before him. Hovering over his victim and biting him right on his face, ripping his head right off his body.
Damian and Blake stand face to face, ready to fight each other again. Damian's eyes dark red, his fangs exposed, and veins in a deep blue over his neck and face. He slowly walks sideways around Blake.
Blake stares at him, never leaving him from his sight as he slowly moves with him. His eyes dark as night, claws exposed and anger surging in every inch of him.
Harou has had enough of this battle. He stands in the middle of both, hoping to stop them from fighting against each other.
"Enough! Alarick, Keiran please! This has gone far long enough. You have to put an end to this. Both of you!"
"What does it matter? Damian will never stop going after my wife. It doesn't matter how hard we try and get him to reason with him. He'll never stop going after her."
"And why should I? She killed my wife. My mate and the love of my life. I told you Alarick! I will have my revenge. And so long as Selene keeps coming back to life thanks to her fucking mother, I will keep killing her. Time and time again."
Blake's eyes widen in shock. "You- you knew all along who we were. You knew all this time. Am I the only one that had no clue of any of this? He looks between the two in shock. Harou sighs, placing his hands down and hanging his head.
"Alarick I told you. Carrie did something different this time when she brought you guys back this time.
She was different this time. She looked angrier, more upset than usual and something just didn't add up.
"Which it's why i have been trying to find you Keiran." Damian looks at him. His expression softens a bit, but still stands on guard.
"Keiran, Emma is not dead." He says softly, his head hanging low in shame from keeping this secret from him for so long.
"What? No, I don't believe you. I saw that night. Selene killed her. Her expression was what killed me inside that day. I saw how her eyes faded away. I saw it. And I will never forgive Elena for this. She took everything from me."
"No, Keiran. Selene did not take Emma from you. It was Carrie who killed her. "
Amber slowly walks towards them. Though she still resembles Selene's body, Keiran can tell it's not her. Her voice sounding different and hair in a different shade than Selene's lustful brown hair.
"No. You're lying to me. You're all lying to me." He sneers angrily, ready to launch and attack all of them.
For the first time ever, Harou is able to shift outside of his enchanted cave. He quickly shifts to his Lycan, stopping Damian on his tracks and making him growl with anger.
"Enough!" He looks at him with fury in his eyes. Blake slowly makes his way towards them and closes his eyes, sighing deeply.
"I don't understand any of this. Why can't I remember you guys. Why can't I recall any of our past events?" He questions in a low tone.
Tyler struggles to understand any of it himself. Everything sounding like a faint dream. A dream he vividly recalls from a constant nightmare he's suffered for years but decided to push it off because he thought maybe it was just that, a dream.
"Damian. He's telling the truth. I don't know how I know. But Harou is right."
"How would you know this Dylan? You can't even remember your own name. You of all should know I don't take lightly to anyone blaspheming against my dear Emma."
Harou look at each other, Damian looks angrily towards Selene and hisses.
Slowly, Selene gets Amber's attention begging her to allow her to come back.
Though Amber fears that Selene will have no chance of survival again if Damian attacks her, she has no choice but to let her return.
Slowly, she retrieves and Selene is left before her. Blake senses her return. He quickly pushes past everyone and runs to her. Engulfing her with a tight embrace and kissing her in her lips.
Selene smiles, a stray tear falling down her cheek as his tongue swiftly invades her
mouth.
"There's my girl. I love you baby girl. Don't you ever, ever leave my side again. Do you understand me?" He whispers, his forehead resting on her forehead. Eyes closed and embracing the feel of their reencounter.
