"I was worried my sisters had gotten to you first," Cassandra purred, appearing out of a swarm of flies.
You bolted to a table that had some items that could help you while Ethan shot at Cassandra. You picked up two pipe bombs and a lockpick. The lockpick wouldn't have much use in this situation, but a pipe bomb will help.
You set the pipe bomb and, when you saw a red light, threw it at the break in the brick wall.
Ethan, at that moment, was out of the way. Cassandra was not.
The pipe bomb blew up, creating a large hole in the wall and letting in a gust of cold air. Cassandra screamed in pain as the air directly hit her.
"You've ruined the hunt," she screamed at Ethan, thinking that he was the reason the wall blew up. "You bastard!"
Ethan kept shooting at her but quickly ran out of ammo. Cassandra saw the opportunity and raised her sickle.
You wasted no time in jumping in front of Cassandra and grabbing the wrist of the hand holding her sickle. You quickly wrapped your right hand behind her neck and used Cassandra's momentum against her, throttling her solar plexus into your knee. You pushed her away as Cassandra growled at you, clutching the area just above her stomach.
"How dare you, Adelina," Cassandra spat as you took to a fighting stance. "I am your older sister, you will treat me with respect!"
You didn't say anything as Cassandra tried to taunt you. You were in brawl mode at this point. Of course, you were only stalling for time so Ethan could load his shotgun but you did kind of want to kick her ass.
Cassandra charged at you again, swinging her sickle down. You stepped backwards, just enough for her sickle to miss its target, before jumping forward. You used your non-dominant hand to trap Cassandra's arm while it was across her body while your dominant hand reached down for the knife strapped to your thigh. Before Cassandra could blink, you had plunged your knife in between her eyes.
Cassandra screamed and pushed you off her. You had a good grasp on your knife so it came with you as you regained your balance.
"Wh- Why?" Cassandra screeched at you, raising her sickle once again. She went to try and hit you again, rage prominent in her features. This time, you didn't counter. You just jumped out of the way as Cassandra ran at you.
And straight into Ethan's line of fire.
Ethan smirked as he pulled the trigger, shooting Cassandra right where your knife pierced her skin.
"You will not get away!" Cassandra screamed, desperately swinging her sickle around. "You're my prey... mine..." Cassandra gasped before turning into stone and crumbling to the ground, leaving a crystalized torso in her wake.
"Crazy witch," Ethan sighed walking up to Cassandra's remains. He picked them up and had you turn around so Ethan could put the crystalized torso in your backpack. "It was refreshing seeing you in action like that."
"It felt good," you laughed, staring up at a mounted animal skull, "almost as if I was back in the ring."
Ethan chuckled as he zipped up your bag. "Can't wait for your next season... I know that when Rose is older, she'll want to see her badass aunt kick some ass."
"I'll get you two VIP seats," you said while grabbing the mounted animal head. You turned and saw that Ethan was giving you a weird look. "My gut tells me that this will come in handy."
Ethan shrugged and you both went down the stairs and back into the Hall of Pleasure. You examined the animal skull the entire time, trying to see if there is a secret. It was on the wall of a storage room so that must mean something right? You found a single screw on the back of the wood plaque the skull is attached to.
