The Dark Hour

--------Astrid--------

I ran into the throne room and saw Seto was beating the crap out of Dean and Sabbath was just sitting back. I leaned against the wall to get my breath back. I wiped the blood that was running down my face but it just kept coming.

"Aw Princess so lovely for you to join us." I covered my mouth since the smell of blood reeked and apparently I can't stand it. I looked around and didn't see Ridge and Lalna which was good. Dean and Seto stopped fighting.

"Yeah sure I guess it was nice of me to come kill you." I couldn't do much more fighting especially if I'm throwing up every ten minutes. "Seto how are you holding up over there?"

"I'm fine, just pissed off."

"Do you know where Ridge and Lalna are?" I asked wiping my mouth and walking more into the room.

"They should be with Ryan." I stopped and covered my mouth once more, I can't stand this blood.

"So our little princess can't stand blood this should be easy." Sabbath caught me off guard and he kicked me in the side. I screamed and held my side. I was pissed but I couldn't fight if the smell of blood was bothering me.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Seto shouted.

"Stay out of this kid! It doesn't concern you!"

"Seto please stay out of this." I said slowing standing up. I staggered some but I got my balance back. Seto ran to my side and he looked at me worriedly.

"You need to get help. You're hurt I'm not, I'll be fine." I shook my head.

"I'm fine Seto, I have to deal with Sabbath myself."

"You're a horrible liar." I smiled at him.

"I might be a horrible liar but I know how to finish a fight. I'm not backing down from this one quite yet." I drew my sword and turned towards Sabbath. "Seto no matter what happens don't get involved with my fight."

"But I can handle it, you don't have to be alone."

"Seto I said no!" I snapped a little. "He's my problem, I've been waiting to kill him for a very long time and I'm not going to let it slip from me."

"And I'm not going to let you get killed! I lost my family once I'm not doing it again!" I looked at Seto with wide eyes and patted the top of his head.

"I'm going to be fine." I said with the most fakest smile and I knew that he knew it was fake. I quickly pushed Seto behind me and blocked Sabbath's sword with everything that I had. I stood my ground but he was much stronger than I am right now. I managed to push him back and I caught my breath.

"What can't even fight now Astrid?" Sabbath questioned. I growled at him.

"I can fight Sabbath just might take me awhile." He lunged at me again and I quickly got my sword up. He was pushing too hard and I lost my footing and fell on my butt. He knocked the sword out of my hand and he held his to my throat.

"This is where it ends Princess."

"No!" Seto launched himself at Sabbath and just managed to shove him back. Seto looked at me then helped me up. I felt a jolt of energy flow through my arm and I felt like I could run ten miles. "Be careful." I smiled.

"Thanks Seto." He handed me my sword then moved behind me. "I got it from here."

"So the kid gave you energy."

"Just enough to beat you with it." I got a firm grip on the sword and lunged at him. He blocked my sword and pushed me a few feet away. I attacked him but he dodged me and I flew past him perfect. I quickly turned my footing and he wasn't very quick and my sword went right through him. I pulled it out and he fell to the ground, the blood soaking the floor. I was breathing heavily, I stuck my sword in the ground and fell to my knees but with the smell of the blood I end up puking. I heard footsteps and they skittered to a stop just outside the door.

"Seto!" Ty shouted. He ran over to him and kneeled down beside him. Seto was out cold. Soon there was another footsteps, I looked up and it was Ryan and Skyla.

"Skyla check on Astrid, I'll see if I need to heal Seto." Ryan said quickly. Skyla nodded and quickly walked over to me.

"Oh geez, what happened?" She asked slowly helping me up.

"Uh I believe Seto gave me some of his strength so I can defeat Sabbath." Skyla nodded.

"Ok, well I'm getting you out of here. Alright?" I nodded.

"How's Axel doing if you know?"

"He's fine, we wouldn't leave him alone if he wasn't," She smiled. I nodded. We got me out of the castle and back to where the angels set base. Skyla went and called Lalna or Ridge. I hope they're okay. Since I killed Sabbath I'm sure that the war is over, but I'm not so sure about William. I hope he isn't alive, and that he died in battle. I held my head when pain shot through. I looked up when I heard footsteps and it was Ryan. He kneeled down infront of me and flicked my nose like when we were younger.

"Idiot, I told you to be careful out there." I smiled.

"I killed Sabbath which means the war is over, everyone is safe and we all can go home." He sighed and held his hands out and the pain that I was feeling in my head was gone and my cuts and bruises were healed.

"Skyla can you watch her, while I tell Michael that Sabbath is dead."

"Ok, is Seto ok though?" She asked worried.

"He's fine I healed the cuts and bruises that he had, other than that he just needs rest." She sighed then nodded.

"Alright."

"Just make sure she doesn't run off." He said leaving the tent. I sighed.

"What does he think I'm going to do go out and kill more people." She shrugged.

"I don't know." She looked at her phone again then sighed. "Why won't they pick up?" She muttered.

"What's wrong?"

"I tried calling Ridge, he didn't pick up so I called Lalna. He didn't pick up either."

"I can go look for them."

"No, let's wait for Ryan to get back first. I don't want him getting mad just because you went off and disappeared again." I sighed and nodded. I hope they're okay.
