Chapter 26

5 days later

"No use in sitting around looking helpless. Brandy, you and I need to put some things together. Cyndy, I'll meet up with you later. Everyone, prepare yourselves, this isn't going to be easy." Michael explained.

I went with Michael into the kitchen. He pulled out a flask for each of us. I looked at him strange before he had a time to explain.

"I need you to go out tonight and fill these up." Michael said as he noticed I was staring at him.

"For what?" I asked curiously.

"The end." Michael said blankly.

"Understood." I said as I took the flasks and put them in a backpack.

I walked out of the kitchen and met up with Ben.

"Ben I have to talk to you." I said to him.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I feel bad for all of this. The reason we are going through this is because of me." I said looking at the ground.

"No it's not. It's Damien's fault. If it were your fault none of us would be backing you up and standing by your side." Ben explained.

As he said that I looked up and turned around. Everyone was standing behind me.

"What family would we be if we didn't stick with the one who brought us together?" Dj said.

"Yeah! No matter the outcome, we are and forever will be a family. It's all thanks to you." Cynthia said.

"Thank you." I said as I hugged them each.

"I want the most recent spell book I bought. I saw something in there that will come in handy." I said to Ben.

"The rest of you pack up your stuff and get it into our cars. We are leaving tonight." I demanded.

"Cyndy, you stay behind I need to talk to you." I said holding her shoulder.

"What's up?" She asked nervously.

"I know you don't want to die. None of us do. But it's what we have to do to stay together. Don't worry, we will be together in the after life." I told her.

"How can you be so sure?" Cyndy asked doubtfully.

"We have a goddess on our side." I said looking at the sky.

"So it goes down tonight?" Cyndy asked.

"Yes. And before you go, I need you to come with me and fill up these flasks." I said quietly.

"We are hunting? Why?" She asked.

"It's all part of the plan." I said.

She nodded and we walked off to find victims.

By the time we got back, everything was set up to go. We were traveling back to my home town for the final battle. It was a long drive but we managed to make it a short trip. We arrived at a large field I used to hang out at. Ben handed me the spell book I requested, and began to set up the circle. My plan was to set up a circle to trap Phillip and Damien when they meet us.

"They're here." Cyndy said looking out in the distance.

"Everyone positions now!" I yelled.

Everyone ran away to a safe distance but Ben and I. As Damien got closer, Ben and I began to yell at each other.

"Stay down!" Ben yelled as he pushed me down.

"Ben, please don't do this to me!" I yelled back struggling to get back up.

"Shut up! You'll be a great specimen to the goddess." Ben smirked.

"Get away from her Ben!" Damien said running at us.

"Now!" I yelled.

Everyone came running out of the woods and surrounded Damien's group. Ben helped me up and I chanted the spell. Damien's group was trapped.

"What's going on?" Damien asked.

"Oh? That's right, I tricked you. Thank you for being so gullible." I smirked at Damien.

"You tricked me?" Damien yelled furiously.

"Duh. Did you really think I loved you? Ha, what a joke!" I laughed in his face.

"I cannot believe this! Get them!" Damien demanded.

"Not a chance. They're trapped." Cyndy said.

"Now listen up. This is how it's going to go down." I said walking up to Damien.

"I'm not listening to anything you say." He said looking away.

"Whether you listen to me or not is your choice. You're still going to die in the end." I say evily.

"Damien, don't listen to them. We will get out of this!" Phillip yelled.

"Shut up traitor. Listen Damien, i'm making you an offer. My life for his." Michael said.

"What? Michael no! That wasn't part of the plan!" Cyndy said with tears.

"Deal." Phillip agreed.

"MICHAEL HOW COULD YOU?" Cyndy yelled in anger.

"Cyndy, it'll be okay. Trust me." Michael said as he walked over to Phillip.

"Michael don't do this!" Dj yelled for him.

"I love you, please don't leave me like this!" Cyndy begged as she fell watched Michael release Phillip from the trap.

"I love you too." Michael said sincerely.

"I've long awaited the day I could kill you." Phillip said as he drew a knife from his pocket and shoved it into Michael's chest.

"Same here." Michael grunted as he did the same Phillip.

Phillip chanted a spell and then both of them fell to the ground.

"Nooooo!" Cyndy yelled in anger.

She began to change and she went biserk.

"This is all your fault! I'll kill you!" Cyndy said in rage towards Damien.

The second she broke the circle, everyone in Damien's group was free.

"No. I get to kill him!" I told Cyndy as I began to rage. "Avenge your lover by not letting any of the weaker ones die."

Cyndy growled and started after the nearest person. She went crazy and blacked out with anger. Before I knew it Damien was charging at me as he chanted a spell and pulled out a knife.

"You don't get to kill me. You ruined my life. You will pay for this." I screamed at him as I caught his wrist.

"If I can be with you i'll kill you!" Damien shouted back.

He began to overpower my restraint, but I wasn't done. I threw him back then kicked the knife from his hand. When he got back up I held his arms down and bite his neck and sunk my fangs in.

"Die." I muttered into his neck.
