Imaginary world ( The half world chronicles)

Chapter 24 Moira

The Vampire jumped at me. I had a second to pull out my stars, the chain struck at his feet with a hiss in the air and tangled in them. My stars plunged deep into his skin. I dragged them with vigor and the vampire fell to the ground. I didn't have time to think, in one movement I crossed the distance and took out a knife from under my dress. I put it in his throat and prepared to cut off his head, but you should know something cutting a person's head off is not so easy. In that second i was preparing, the vampire twisted and grabbed me. I lost balance and he pined me to the floor. His teeth stuck in my neck, a groan left my lips. I had hit my head on the floor and the world was spinning. His strong hands were trying to hold mine to the floor. I didn't have time to play. I released one of my hands and with a lightning move I stretched out and took the knife that now lay on the floor and stuck it between his ribs. The Vampire took a stunned look at me. I pushed my magic in the stars once again and made them separate from his legs and settle around his neck, with one harsh pull the chain, I heard his vertebrae crack and his head fell to the ground in a slow motion, my whole hand was red where the chain was wrapped and covered with black blood, and his head had rolled into a puddle on the ground. The vampire's glazed eyes were fixed on me, and then the body ignited and everything became ash. I stood quickly, turned and ran to the window - we did not have much time before someone saw the ashes and started to look for us. Liam helped me out, damned voluminous dress, and we both fired to our  apartment like a worker on Friday afternoon. At our quiet home the children have long been asleep. Already on the way I had healed my wound. The only marks we had were those we received before turning 7 years of age, before we received our magic i was now brand new. I sat down on the couch and relaxed. Liam kept fidgeting and fussing around me.

"Are you okay ? Does something hurts, I know you healed with magic, but ... I'm really sorry I should have gone back to the room as soon as I saw it." - For the love of Coffee (since this is the only god i worship)please stop Liam from acting like my mom.

"Nonsense you know very well that I can do it myself. - I smiled at him reassuringly. Not a false smile, but a real sincere smile. I got the same from him.

I loosened my head back and started to get up, I was exhausted. Within seconds, Liam was next to me and put his head in my lap. I felt a sense of calm. It was like we were back in much happier days. I was running my fingers through his hair. I did not open my eyes while I was doing it. Liam pass out in the next minute i don't know what he had been doing for the last days but he must have been exhausted. I laid a hand on his cheek and cried softly, first a single tear fall and next i couldn't stop the downpour. No one would see me. Even if she was in the room, Liam slept. For the past weeks we have been good awful to each other, what has gotten in to us. I wanted him to love me but not at the price of our friendship, and i was sure as hell that i didn't want this. He had said some really hurtful shit, but i know i struck a nerve with telling him i won't be part of his life anymore. That must have been to close to home with all the shit with his father. Slowly my eyes dried up and i felt spent. I fell asleep over Liam, fingers still in his hair. Perhaps it was time to give up the idea of ​​us together.
