Lover Dearest

Chapter 30

The alarms around us in the compound we were staying in were getting louder and louder with each passing second it felt like. Suddenly I could see why the alarms had gone off in the first place.

Dallas.

He was standing in front of a glass door, his hands held up in surrender like he was trying to tell us he wasn't a threat. I didn't believe him, not one bit.

I cautiously walked over to the glass door entrance to the compound and hit the button on the side of the wall that let you speak to the person on the other side. This had better be good.

"I don't mean you any harm, I'm just here to warn you that they're coming, and to apologize. Please let me in Kristen I'm not going to hurt you again I promise. I'm so sorry for everything that happened, I have sworn myself to you and I will love you forever until the day I die, but I know you don't feel the same and that's okay, but please just let me in I need to see you, to talk to you and-"

"No Dallas that's not going to happen and you know it, and I'm not buying the sorry act so please do us both a favor and cut the crap and tell me why you're really here because I'm ready for a fight"

His eyes didn't seem surprised that I didn't believe him and I almost saw a look of annoyance flash across his face, leading me to believe that he was most certainly not here under the best pretenses. He was probably here to lure me out of the compound and into a trap of some kind.

He wasn't going to trick me that easily, not with the newfound power I possessed.

"Well, then, I guess we're going to have to do this the hard way, love.. don't take it personal, this wasn't my idea, although I will be the one to carry it out," he said with an evil, malicious glare in his eyes pointed at me. 

I was almost scared for a moment, until I realized that I was the one with all the power in this situation. That is, until he reached behind his back and pulled out a small red leather book, a necklace with a crucifix attached to the book, and started chanting something that sounded to my ancient mind like an ancient Sumerian language long dead.

In the chanting, I heard some Latin mixed in with the Ancient Sumerian, and he was chanting so fast that I was having trouble understanding what was being said, even after my extensive knowledge of these languages thanks to my past lives.

What I heard was a mix of "Oh ancient celestials, hear our...and stop the tyranny of the.....and the death of.....please hear our call, oh great....and we will devour all who...and implore the beings above to strengthen all powers....in the name of the destruction....the final end to the....bring death upon....and rest in Chaos forever."

I didn't have to understand what was being said in between the words I could decipher. He was calling to try and unleash a godly, or deadly god from Hades. I couldn't believe my ears.

I opened the glass door, Elias at my side urging me not to do what I was about to do. I ripped the book from his hands and it burned my skin on contact. Dallas' eyes widened and then a smirk fell upon his lips as he realized that I had just given him full access to me, which would allow him to kill me.

I was ready for this moment though. In order to stay alive, I had to morph into my true form, Chaos, and I had to shed my human skin once and for all. I could no longer let humans use my powers as a weapon in this deadly sort of game. It was almost over.

I tapped into all of my past lives, women vessels who were strong enough to carry the essence of pure chaos in their bodies, they were all passionate and fierce, women who survived droughts, famines, and now, the last vessel, the last woman to carry the soul of chaos.

She slumped to the ground and I watched as Elias gripped her arms in fear. I longed for those arms to touch my skin, but wait, I no longer had skin. I was pure air, floating in the sky above, watching the scene below under me.

Elias seemed to understand what was happening and he looked up at me in awe, gently dropping the fragile human body on the ground as if he still believed a part of me was inside of her. No, there was another soul still inside of her, she would survive, but my soul was now a pure entity, flying high above the scene before me.

The attack happened moments later, and Elias seemed to know what was coming. I had never seen the full extent of his powers before, but I was almost in awe of his skills in battle.

There were a dozen men in the first wave. They were element benders. The first man took the glass door that I had opened and melted it into a pure see through glob of matter and hurled it at Elias, turning it into a thousand different shards of glass.

Immediately, I used my telepathy to create a sort of semi circle shaped force field around Elias and turned the glass shards back on the man who made the first strike.

He was impaled along with the other eleven men beside him. Red spattered the ground and I knew there had been fatalities among them. It was their fault for believing in a life so contorted.

I didn't enjoy taking their lives, but I felt that if they didn't die, they would never stop their relentless cycle of hatred and danger towards the world, this had to end, tonight.

And I was going to be the one to finish it.
