Josie tilted her head and she thought silently of ways to kill the hybrid. Stake, decapitation, siphoning until desiccation. All possibilities that her mind conjured up.

Alexandria held Josie's glare as she undid the buttons on her cuffs and rolled up her sleeves. Her hands fell to her sides and she stretched out her neck till it cracked a couple of times. "What are you waiting for?" she questioned as Josie had yet to make a move.

Josie handed the microphone back to the Necromancer and waved him off. The Necromancer grinned and got off the ring, leaving the two girls.

The cheering continued, echoing in the room. Alexandria and Josie began circling each other, each analysing the other, waiting for the other to make the first move. It was a move that Alexandria wasn't keen on making. She had faith that Lizzie would come back so all she needed to do was stall. Every second mattered.

Josie let out a low hum as she looked Alexandria up and down. She was excited to fight the hybrid but the itch in the corner of her mind proved to be a nuisance. The witch was quick to grow impatient and when she planted her feet into the ground, she raised her hand out to the girl in front of her.

Alexandria noticed the sudden change in her stance almost immediately and she prepared herself. What appeared like red lightning came barreling towards Alexandria. The Sinclair swiftly dodged the attack with her vampire speed and moved out of Josie's direct line of sight, causing the lightning to hit one of the posts, scorching the rubber, revealing the wood underneath.

A series of gasps erupted in the crowd as they saw the trail of smoke coming from the wood. Josie let out an annoyed grunt and continued throwing several blasts, all different spells. Alexandria dodged every one of them but grew frustrated as every time she tried to get closer to the witch, she would send out a blast of fire, forcing her to move back.

Alexandria was physically stronger and Josie knew that without a doubt. So the witch made sure that Alexandria couldn't get within arms reach of her. Every time she started to get too close, Josie would blast fire, forcing the hybrid to have to move back.

Josie became angrier as Alexandria continued dodging everything she threw at her way and she took a step closer to the centre of the ring. But that was a mistake as Alexandria took the opportunity to vamp behind her and kick her in the back. Josie stumbled forward and hissed as she felt the heel of Alexandria's boot dig into her spine.

The witch fell to her knees but she didn't let it deter her as she quickly whipped around and pushed Alexandria back with an invisible force. The hybrid was blown back but she caught herself on the railing.

Alexandria pushed herself to stand. "Come on, Josie. I know you hate me for what I've done but you would never want to kill me," Alexandria challenged.

Josie's eye twitched at the assumption. "That's where you're wrong. I would love nothing more to siphon the life out of you," Josie sneered as she thrusted her hand forward. "Incendia."
