Terror

Chapter Twenty-Three

Ashley stared at them with a feral grin, her head cocked to the side. "You two are idiots for thinking you could save them."

She watched Cassandra stare in shock, tears streaming down her cheeks. The mutant child can be a real pain when it comes to trying to defeat her.

Those two girls with super speed and ice abilities were now dead, which was great. One had blood soaking her shirt while the other had blood dripping down her back.

"Wow, I'm so cool that I killed people. Nobody can defeat the big bad god," Divina mimicked. "Look at me go."

How dare Divina mimic her actions for what she achieved? It gets her that much closer to killing the rest of these tiny humans, walking out into the world to create her own place.

Ashley felt something latch under her ankle, slamming her hard to the ground. Cassandra held her upside down with an invisible force, feeling hot flames burning through her own body.

"You took innocent lives away," Cassandra grated. "I barely have energy, but I'm taking them."

Ashley felt her body being drained of something as Cassandra dropped her on her head. She stumbled back, her eyes closed. When Ashley went to burn her, it didn't work. She widened her eyes, trying again, but nothing shot out.

"She took away the high ranks. Oh no, should we cry?" Divina sneered.

Ashley's entire body flamed as she gritted her teeth. How could she take them away now? Cassandra barely looked like she had any energy to stand.

Ashley had to try and think of which powers she had left. However, her mind felt blank. Why couldn't she think of any of them? Cassandra had a glare in her eyes, while Divina still laughed.

"What did you do?" Ashley demanded.

Suddenly, Divina punched her in the side of the head, which left her flying to the ground on her side. Ashley felt a crack in her mind, making her scream.

"I erased your knowledge of the list of the powers," Cassandra spat. "You still know information, but not your own power. That's what happens when you make me angry."

Ashley lifted herself from the ground, but Divina kicked her head down. This wasn't how her plan was supposed to go after she killed those two humans.

"You shouldn't have killed those humans, god. I've told you many times that Cassandra is stronger than us. It's all not sheer power, but she knew what to use," Divina taunted. "Did you hear the great news? I get my powers once all your powers are gone."

Ashley widened her eyes, trying to turn her head, but it was kicked back down again.

"Impossible! None of this should be happening," Ashley spat.

Divina clapped her hands, as if someone had won an award. "Now that makes it that much easier for us. I swear, sometimes you're overall pathetic."

Suddenly, she spotted a sparkling light running toward her that sparked in different directions. She placed her palm out, but nothing happened when she tried throwing them in the air.

"Oh my gosh!" Nevaeh exclaimed, throwing the sparkler directly at her.

Ashley felt the spark on her leg but didn't move. Her mind felt slow before she saw four people. Cassandra had been dragging the bodies to the side with what energy she had left, while River held sparklers. Ashley didn't know what they did, except for decoration. They can't fight with them, right?

River threw one at her, watching the spark touch her skin and seeing it physically melt. Ashley screamed, throwing it toward the four people nearby. She felt a bang to the head, leaving her mind spinning. Why can't people give her the least respect around here?
