Her

Chapter 37

Athena came charging towards me and I felt her hand hit my face as she sent me flying to the ground. My face smacked the concrete. My lip began bleeding and so did the left side of my face. The council members quickly got up and attempted to go after her, but she sent them all flying as if they were nothing. Two of them escorted my parents to safety while Klaus and Alec stood watch over Max. There was no way of knowing if Max could even break out of those restraints.

Athena came back to charge after me. "Well I'm surprised you're still alive even still after I just sent your sorry ass flying to the ground pretty hard." She says Without a second thought this time, I was ready for her. Within seconds of her reaching me, I grabbed one of her hands and shoved my claws deep into her chest releasing  my demonic poison into her and then sent her flying a few yards away. Her arms were holding the wound I inflicted onto her as she struggled to get up. She was bleeding profusely.

I smiled at her and she started charging at me again. This time she struggled to get to me, but she was still pretty fast. I had my claws out and ready again for her. She managed to get close enough to my face to scratch it with her claws as blood began to trickle down my face. "Oh someone got their wolf finally huh?" She asked in in a snarky tone. "For your information bitch, I'm a tribrid" I said. With that I grabbed her by the throat and dug my claws deep into it ripping her throat right out with ease. She grabbed her throat and fell to the ground dead. I smiled at the satisfaction of my own victory.

As I turned around, Max was no longer in chains and Alec and Klaus were fighting him. They both looked beaten up pretty bad. Max's eyes were completely black as the wolf within him had taken over. The wolfsbane had wore off enough for him not only to escape, but for him to put up a good fight. I watched him as he stuck one final blow to the both of them.

He seen me and charged right at me and was ready to kill. I had my hand ready to rip right through him, but he dodged it picking me up by my throat and threw me all the way into the woods. I landed in a tree and a big branch pierced through my chest.

I screamed in pain trying to ease myself off of the branch. With each inch that I moved, more blood came gushing out. I stopped moving once I heard a couple of twigs snap. I began to panic a little bit because I was pretty vulnerable right now. I've lost quite a bit of blood and I was starting to feel it. I heard the crunches of leaves and whatever it was, it was getting closer to me. Before I could finish getting off the branch, I blacked out from the blood loss. Whatever it was coming towards me, I wasn't going to be alive and I assume it was Max coming to finish me off. At least I wouldn't feel what he was going to do to me next.

"Klaus, I found her! She's hurt pretty bad. We need to get her back to her parents!" Alec yelled. I came as fast as I could not knowing just how bad my mate was hurt. When I got there, I seen Alec pull her pale unconscious body off of a branch. "She's lost a lot of blood. We need to her her in by her parents as soon as possible." He says panicking. "Alec, where's Max? Did you see him at all on your way here to find her?" I asked wanting to know where he was so I could kill him. "No, I think he left. I didn't see him on my way to find her. I fear that he fled only to come back when he's fully recovered."

This wasn't good news in my eyes. Max didn't want to kill her just yet. He wanted to wait until he was at his strongest and then go after her. I shook my head and picked my mate up from Alec's arm. A small tear slid when I looked at her body. Her wound was healing slowly which was uncommon for her. Alec changed into his lycan form and ran infront of us incase Max wanted to surprise us by appearing out of nowhere. We made it back to her parents safely. Her father had her taken to the royal infirmary.

They went through 10 bags of stored blood from the fridge and it wasn't working and they were loosing her. The nurse came up with another solution. She collected fresh bag of blood from a few of the human volunteers and even had some in the room with a direct IV in them hooked up to her. It seemed to start working finally. Her wound started healing slightly faster, but still not as fast as they would've liked it to have been. But she was now stable and was going to be in the royal infirmary for a few weeks, or months.

"Were you two able to defeat Max?" The King asked. "We attempted, but he was too strong. After he threw your daughter pretty far, he disappeared after that. I'm worried he intends to really go after her when he's at his strongest" Alex says looking down on to the floor. "I'm just glad you brought my daughter back. I also fear you're right. Max knows how to fight pretty well being that he was one of my best guards. It seems like while Edith is resting and recovering, I'm going to have the two of you train so this way you'll be able to fight next time." The King says in a worried voice.

"It would be an honor to learn your ways of fighting. Will Edith train as well when she wakes up your Grace?" Alec asked. "I'm afraid we won't know when she'll wake and we don't know what Max intends to do. As right now, starting tomorrow, you two will begin your training. I feel like Max is going to attack and we need to be ready." The King says.
