Wilt and Wither

Chapter 25

Betrayal impaled me like a spike. "How could you." I whimper. Blood flowed freely from me.

"Don't be dramatic I cut the crick's off of you sort of... kind of got some skin in the process...oops.

I didn't say a word rage came but I had to focus. "Landon I wondered when you would join the party." Lilith drawled. She turned to the succubus. "Torture her."

They sprang at me as I reached for my blade. Gone. "Looking for this?" Landon said tossing it to me. How in the hell he got it I would defiantly be asking later. I slashed the first one as it pinned me down to take my soul. Desire crept into me as it looked at me.

I kicked it in the stomach causing it to double over. I went to kick it again and he caught my leg and slammed me against tile the wind knocked out of me.

Landon grabbed it off of me and I sprang up and slashed it with my obsidian blade as it sunk into nothing.

I frantically searched for Jackson who was untying Cole. Lilith sauntered over to me and grabbing my hair. My hands lit up fueling me inside I had to make it count. I twisted my arm and got her chest blasting her with everything inside me. She let out an ear piercing scream and crumpled to the floor.

Landon rushed over to me. "I'm fine go find Danny and Rory." Cole perked up hearing her name.

"Where are they?" He said panicked.

"Two orcs took them I didn't see where. Cole you and Landon go I got this." The succubus near Jackson was out but not dead. I surrounded Lilith deciding how to do this. I couldn't kill her and now it made sense. She was like me. "Jackson I need you to do something."

"What?"

"She can't die so I need you to do something for me. I need you to kill the succubus then take this and kill her."

"Lucy I can't it will change me."

"Jackson we're not discussing this it's the only way to kill her. I am part demon like her it's why I can barely die." Confused I waved him off. "I'll explain later right now we don't have much time. She won't stop until hell is literally on earth and my blades won't work. Sending her to hell won't fix this she won't stop." It may take her a handful of hundred years but she will come back.

Jackson stood unmoving for a moment and I smashed my lips to his taking in the sweetness that I was afraid I never get again. "Do it." I snarl.

"Get out of here." He growled at me.

"No not until I know she's dead." He went to turn but I grabbed his arm. "Whatever happens I'm not going anywhere. I will figure out how to stop the curse."

With one last kiss I handed him my blade. He stalks towards the succubus slicing him top to bottom. I glanced at Lilith who was still out a hole burned deep into her chest.

My magic was near depleted and I was starting to feel the effects of it. I used all of my magic. The reality of the situation hit me. I was stuck in a room with an untapped hunter without my magic and without my blade.

Honestly if I did I wouldn't even fight back.

Jackson just stood there starring down at the slowly rotting succubus. Then he turned and my breath caught at his eyes.

Black as night.

It was terrifying.

He stalked towards me. I couldn't move. I was frozen. "Jackson kill Lilith. Jackson get Lilith she's the enemy. Jackson!" I scream as Lilith staggers up to blast him.
