Tainted Blood [3]

Chapter 31

Everyone crashed into one another as the fight began, I grabbed a leech by the neck an threw her back where she was bitten in half by a wolf. I made a b-line for Stefan, I almost had him when I heard a shrill scream from my left, I turned to see Casey and Vicky.

"Vicky!" I looked between the two, confused to which one I should go to, go to Casey and save Vicky, go to Stefan and end it all. Which one ?

"Go," Archer stood next to me, nodding his head towards Vicky and Casey. "I'll take care of Stefan."

"Thank you," I gave him a quick kiss. "Don't die."

"Don't count on it," he smirked before running off. I turned and ran at Casey, swinging my bow I stabbed her in the stomach before kicking her to the ground.

"Vic, here," I tossed her a dagger before standing to face a pissed off Casey. "Oops ?"

"You forget, you are vastly outnumbered," Casey smiled.

"I don't need numbers to kill you, I just need me," I ducked as she pulled out a sword.

"Then prove it," I used my bow to deflect her blows, she aimed for my head, making me duck, spin and cut into her side. I pulled out the bow but she kicked it to the floor. "Too bad."

"Try again," I kicked my heel into her stomach, making her gasp and drop her weapon. I punched her face, causing her to drop, only to kick my legs out from under me. I rolled over, narrowly escaping the fist flying to my face. I jumped up only to be held down by two leeches, I thrashed as Casey got closer.

"Bye bye Purity," Casey raised her fallen sword ready to drive it through my heart.

"Nuh uh," I used my new found strength to throw them off and jump up, I moved to try and rip her heart out, only to see Casey had grabbed Vicky towards her just as my hand was about to go through her chest.

"Oops ?" Casey smirked as paused, looking down where my hand had gone, I let out a shakey breath as I saw Vicky's blood dripping down my hand, Casey had moved Vicky infront of her so I had grabbed Vicky's heart instead of hers.

"No," I whispered as we both dropped to our knees, blood foaming out of Vicky's mouth. "No, no, I didn't, I-I didn't mean to, I," Tears streamed down my cheeks as Vicky smiled at me, or tried to.

"I-It's ok-kay," Vicky started to cough up the blood from her lungs, I pulled out my hand, holding her heart and she dropped to the ground, slowly closing her eyes.

"Oh no, is she dead ?" Casey's voice mocked me. "Always was the stupid one," my grief slowly started trying into anger at every word she said. "Always the last one to know, always in the way" I clenched my jaw, until she said the one magic word. "Pathetic."

I spun around in the blink of an eye and shoved my hand through her chest, making her gasp in surprise and pain. "Pathetic? You're calling her pathetic?" I slowly started to stand. "You were so insecure that you ran to a man who used you," I tightened my grip on her heart. "You became so hell bent on destroying me you killed your best friends, Chloe ? Lizze ? Vicky ?"

"It was worth it to see you break," she gave me a misshaped smile.

"You are a monster only the sick and twisted would approve of you," I glared.

 "Y-You d-don't know m-me anymore," I shook my head as her helpless plea. "Y-You're w-wrong-g."

"No I'm not, and you know that Case," I shook my head in disgust. "You destroyed yourself."

"I-I'm s-sorry," Casey started coughing out her black blood, the sticky substance dripping down her chin. "I-I'm s-so s-sorry Avalon."

"No your not, you're just sorry you underestimated me, and sorry you destroyed everything that could have been your redemption," I looked down at my hand before ripping it out of her chest, not wanting to watch the life drain from her eyes. "No hesitation."

She dropped to the ground, in a pool of her blood.
