Devil Says 'H!'

Chapter 37

"Aaargh"

Skylar gritted her teeth and screamed as she closed the distance between the woman and herself. The woman was standing two feet in front of Ed and when Skylar looked at her smirking face, she suddenly felt as though she should see blood in them. Just as Skylar was closer to her, she raised her arms and put them around the woman's neck. Skylar knew that the woman had powers. She knew that even she herself had powers. But at that moment Skylar hated her for who she was. She did not like the powers that she had and she knew that her father was dead because of her. So, forgetting all of her powers, Skylar just wanted to kill the woman with her own bare hands.

"Trying to kill me, Skylar?" the woman cackled. Skylar felt her eyes burn by the fire in them and she looked at the woman, gritting her teeth.

"Of course I am, Aurelia." Skylar hissed. Her face was dangerously closer to the woman's. Skylar saw the color change in her eyes and the red eyeball turned into pitch black. Her eyes were not visible at all, because only black was there. But Skylar was not afraid. She knew that she would either kill the woman, or die trying.

"No Sky!" Skylar heard Ed say, but she did not reply. She knew that he was just thinking about what was better for her, and knowing that the woman had the capability to do anything, he was afraid that Skylar too would end up like her father. But Skylar smirked. She knew that if she was to end up like her loving father, she would happily do so. Skylar knew that living without him was out of the question for her.

"You killed an innocent man, Aurelia." Skylar spitted on the woman's face through her gritted teeth. The woman cackled and at once her demeanor changed. She flared her canines at Skylar, and she saw them shine in her dark face. But Skylar did not care. She wanted her dead. Skylar imposed more pressure on her fingertips and she looked directly at the woman's face. She was not smiling anymore, and the woman looked as though the pressure Skylar had imposed on her fingertips had done the trick. Her skin was starting to look pale, and Skylar saw her green veins bulge in her forehead.

"Feeling dizzy, Aurelia?" Skylar smirked as she saw the woman's eyes turn red once more and it went here and there, trying to focus on Skylar. She did not reply.

Suddenly, Skylar felt the skin under her fingers burn, and she looked at the woman once more. She was smirking at Skylar and she looked like the true devil that she was. Skylar tried to press her fingers more onto her neck, but she was not able to do so. Her fingers were slackening and she looked back at the woman, as she felt her skin melt under her fingers.

"What are you doing?" Skylar screamed. She was not able to even finish her sentence before a sudden wave of shock pushed Skylar brutally back against the floor. She lost her balance, and landed on her back, her face pressed against the floor.

"SKY!" Ed exclaimed and Skylar heard him struggling against his hold once more. A loud thud and a slow 'aow' was heard, and Skylar knew that he was being hit. She was not able to see him because she had fallen on the floor. Skylar heard the man hit Ed, and he fell to his side once more.

Skylar turned her head to the side by a degree and she looked at the woman. She saw that the woman was massaging her neck and she looked as though whatever Skylar had done had hurt her badly. Skylar pressed her hand to the cold marble floor and she pulled her sleeves across the side of her face, wiping the blood that was rooting down along the side of her head. She pulled her sleeves across her lips too and she saw the blood that had oozed out from her split lip etched on her sleeve. She looked back up at the woman. With one giant leap, Skylar was back on her feet. She saw Ed from the shadow of Aurelia and she saw that the man who was holding him down was stamping his head on to the floor. She saw his red bloodshot eyes and even though she started to feel afraid for him, she did not miss focusing on her target.
