They were too strong, the fight were taking too long. The sun already settled down a while back. It was dark already. I was still holding Bethany and I was so fatigued that I felt like giving up, but giving up means death so it was not an option. I didn't know if hours has passed or it was just minutes which felt like hours.

"What? Tired already?" Bethany asked me, bringing me back to the reality.

"You didn't think this through, getting yourself caught wasn't the smartest move. If I were you, I would have hide for the rest of my life," she told me.

"Maybe that's because I am no coward like you," I answered her, fighting the fatigue which was threatening to overcome me.

She mockingly laughed at me before releasing more energy at me. I used all my strength left to collect the wind to shield me.

"You're exactly like her, so overconfident. She thought she knew everything, she thought she was better than anyone else," she told me and I felt the hint of sadness and sorry in her voice but I could have been mistaken.

"Is that why you decided to kill her? She wouldn't have died that night if you didn't help them," I told her.

"Although I hated her I never planned to kill her. I had no choice, it was either her or me. Logan would have killed me if I didn't help them," she defended herself.

"Oh really! It wasn't because Logan sweet talked you to do it? Maybe he promised that you will be together after that? And foolish you, you thought he was sincerely," I speculated.

"Don't talk about Logan that way," she angrily told me "He loves me. The only reason why he couldn't be with me was because his people would turn on him, they wouldn't let him be with the witch." So my speculation was right.

"That's what he told you? And you believed him? Like you really believed Logan would care about what other vampires or werewolves were thinking before doing anything!! The truth is he used you and you're the foolish one to think that he loved you. A man who loved you wouldn't openly let you see him with another woman!!" I told her and I could see how vulnerable my words made her so I used that chance to channel all the energy I could master and attacked her. She was caught off guard and thrown far and hard on the tree, the piece of the branch pierced deep in her chest and she fell down bleeding heavily. She struggled to get up but she couldn't.

I walked to her but she wasn't looking at me, she was sadly looking somewhere else, with tears in her eyes and a sad look on her face. I looked where she was looking and I saw Logan who was in a heated fight with Luke, Logan was strong but Luke could manage the fight just fine with the help of the spell, but the spell didn't do that much, Luke must be a very strong vampire too. I looked back at bethany who was still looking at Logan, her hands raised a little as if trying to magically grabed him from there.

"The more I look at you the more I pity you but I can never let you live. Not because I have to avenge the death of my parents but because there will be more victims like my parents with you around, you're blinded by your love for Logan that you're not able to clearly distinguish what is right and what is wrong anymore." I told her and she turned to look at me sadly, she tried to talk but she coughed blood instead. I closed my eyes and pushed the piece of a branch which was pierced on her skin deeper. I opened my eyes in few minutes to see her closing hers.

I just stayed there, still in shock of what just happened. I have never hurt anyone before, let alone kill anyone so that wasn't easy for me. I knew that they were all bad people, some are not really bad people but are people who associated themselves with wrong ones and ended up doing bad things. So that was the right thing to do, but still it didn't make it any easier.
