Fate's Prophecy (COMPLETED)

The King's sword came crashing down on mine with such force that aftershocks ran up and down my arms. This man might have been drinking and being a terrible king for years, but he sure knew how to fight still. He must have started training and fighting harder after getting royally defeated by my mother.

CRASH! His sword came down hard and I just managed to avoid it, making him smash his sword into a side table and an expensive looking vase. Shit, I have really got to focus on him as he is not going to be as easy to defeat. There is something around him, I could sense it with my magic and there was something around him that was...wrong. It was something pushing him and it was something that was egging him on. Some sort of magic because if what Desiree had told me about her parents dysfunctional relationship, there was no logical reason for him to fight me – well I knew he probably really wanted me dead, but to side with his wife? Over his daughter? Something is off and if I had time to focus on what the hell had happened to him, maybe I could fix him, but...Urgh, too busy fighting him.

He swung around and I managed to block this. I used what strength I had as a Werewolf and pushed him back, causing him to stagger back a few paces, allowing me enough time to take a breather and start mixing up my two sides. I could feel how angry and supressed my vampire side has been. He could feel how scared Desiree was and that just pissed him off even more.

I used my werewolf side to focus on the King and my vampire side started looking around for a way out of this. There were 6 guards, 2 posted at each exit out of this and in their hands they had high voltage Taser. I wasn't going near those things because everyone knows that enough volts go through a werewolf their heart stops and if a high enough amount of volts go through a vampire, there heart can explode from never being needed in the first place and they can stop, like just freeze and that gives someone enough time to stake them. I could see silver stakes in the Guards' belts. Covering both of us there, bollocks.

I really didn't know what to do. If I killed the King, Desiree would hate me and I don't particularly want to die. I don't see the King stopping enough for me to kill the Guards, free Desiree and get out of here. Not when he keeps swinging his sword at me. He is really pushing me now. He was swinging, hitting and just barely missing me with his sword.

I lunged at him when I had a chance to and I shoved him off of me, trying to get him away long enough for me to think. How do I save Desiree? How do I save her father? What magic has been put on him? I swung at him and crashed against his sword, pushing him further away from Desiree and closer to one of the Guards, who turned on his Taser, just waiting for one of us to get too close. I stamped on the King's foot and brought my elbow against his face. I then bolted over to Desiree and had a look at her chains. They were silver, burning into her wrist and I could smell burnt flesh. She whimpered at me and I used my own magic to heat up the metal of sword, but before I could finish and bring it down on Desiree's chains, her father let out an almighty roar and charged at me. I didn't think, I just did it, I shot fire at him and he narrowly missed it. He rolled over and stumbled to his feet.

"Reece! Stop it! Look at your daughter!" I yelled at him as I pointed at her. She looked up at her dad, with eyes wide and filled with tears.

"Daddy, please, this isn't you." She begged of him and I saw a flicker go through his eyes, but the magic was just that little bit stronger. He growled again and lunged at me. I ran towards him and when our swords collided, an almighty crash rang out. I brought my foot up and kicked him in the nuts and then brought the end of my sword down on his head. I was trying to knock him out. I did it a few times and he seemed down and out, I hoped.

I saw two of the guards, one from each of the closest doors run over to the King and kick him. I went over to Desiree and put my magic back into the sword. When the sword was red hot, I brought it down on her chains and pulled them off. She practically collapsed in my arms.
