Kelly

I watch the amazing sight before me in awe. Scarlet was so close to him but then she just backs up until she is almost beside me in the middle of the room. Scarlet pulls her arm in to her body and then begins throwing her arms around like she's throwing a ball. Waves begin to crash around Colum and I feel the wind pick up in the room. Colum and the water move up as thorn covered vines burst from the ground and wrap themselves around his legs and lift him into the air.

"Kill me already!" I hear Colum yell over the commotion he is forced to endure while we all watch.

"This isn't the first time someone's begged for their death by my hands but I never gave it to them" Scarlet yells over Colum's screams" I let self loathing and infection do the job for me more then once. I lived on the run, killing people for money to buy food and clothes with while you hunted me down constantly. None of your men returned because they were pathetic humans! I killed them all. Every last one, all of your people that worshiped you are all dead just like you will be!" I listen in shock as she reviles everything that she has gone through. I never imagined it was that bad.

Scarlet's fingers begin to glow a lavender purple colour. The purple glow spreads through her whole body and into the ground. I can see the air between her and the plants glow a faint purple, I know I'm the only one who can see her magik at work. The glow fold the purple vines from the bottom up and soon Colum is surrounded in the purple glow. He screams and cries that he is not sorry for what he did.

"That is what I suffered and how you will. I send you to hell you dirty sadistic bastard!" Scarlet yells loudly. She must have sent him memories and forced him to live them just as she did. An image flashes in my mind quickly. One that I will carry with me forever as I finally understand her hate for this man fully. How could someone just sit and watch that knowing he did that to her and jerk off to it? I feel my own anger boil over the top. I watch as his body goes limp as a red soul leaves his body and struggles like is needs air. It claws at it's throat and head and let's out a shrill cry as it shatters. He's dead now it's my turn. I pour some of my strength I to Scarlet as she opens her eyes to see what she has done.

I open up the earth and suck all of her elements and his body into hell. I see his broken soul begin to twitch and I suck that in too just in case. I close up the earth and fix the tiles where I opened the earth. She turns around with a smile on her face. She sways slightly and collapses onto the ground. I run over to her.

"Scarlet?" I ask to no one. I check her pulse and vitals.

"Is she alright?" Summer asks coming down beside me.

"She's going to be okay she's over worked to the point where she passed out" I explain "she did melt sliver off of her body and gain an element today so let's just carry her back"

"All the humans are dead" Ian says walking over to us. I smile my thanks to him and turn to face my Clan.

"We have won this battle!" I call and everyone cheers "if everyone can do a quick sweep of this place an kill any stragglers and help bring the injured back here. Any injured Shifter must be brought here so we can all get them out of here safely and back home" everyone mills out of the room. I cast spirit over Scarlet and catch her aura. I slip inside her body and find her subconscious. I search though it and find her energy storage. I place my hand on it and let it suck the energy out of me. I shove myself towards the surface and pull her put of sleep as I return to my own body.

"What happened?" she asks rubbing her head.

"You won" I say proudly "he's dead and you did it. You are like me now"
