She raised her eyebrows, challenging him. Like so many years ago. They trained together. The only difference was, they didn't know the outcome. No blunt swords. She didn't want it to go down this way. She would distract him, and run, without hurting him. Hurting Jules. She didn't have the guts to that. Might as well stab something through her heart too. He lunged first, thrusting his blade to her side, which she dodged swiftly. Oh. And how do you beat someone, when you know each other's moves like the back of your hand. He guessed her next move, too. How unfortunate. The entrance hall was strangely empty. The only sounds were the clashing of metal echoing through the enormous room.
"Emma," His voice made her weak at her knees. His beautiful eyes met hers, she stared back. The guilt of taking advantage of him was heavy in her heart.
"Jules..." She whispered. His eyes widened. She knocked the sword out of his hand. "I'm so sorry." Then she took of as fast as she could, hoping the tears wouldn't come spilling down. She ran through the halls blindly, a small number of people whom glared at her, were the only ones. She didn't know where she was going, but something was pulling her along. Words suddenly appeared in her brain.
Help.
Emma! It's Jake.
She frowned. Whatever bond Jake had made was very strong. She suddenly felt the string that had pulled her along, end in front of another empty hall. The sign named the hall as the Lycian collection. Whatever that was. A sound rang out.
"EMMA!" She rushed in. Annabel stood on a greek temple monument, featuring little angel statues. Her long scarlett dress, hung down to her feet, the hem soiled. Annabel glared at Jake, a sword(Where did she get that?) in her hand. Jake stood, positioned right below her, seraph blade out. "DO SOMETHING!"
"HEY YOU. MASS MURDERER!" Her eyes instantly whipped to her. She narrowed her eyes. "You are the insane psychopath murdered a 15 year old girl. Who was my parabatai sister, and you WILL pay." Jake had already made it to the top the monument.
"You can't do that remember?" Annabel's eyes switched to him as he lunged at her. Clashing of metal filled the room, and Emma ran to help. She aimed her sword to Annabel's leg, as she climbed from behind. Which Annabel surprisingly Dodged. Jake grunted as her sword sliced his arm, he recovered as Emma kept Annabel busy. Then somehow. A blade ended up next to Emma's neck. She didn't even see it. She glared furiously into Annabel's eyes, as Jake froze.
"Drop the sword." Jake's eyes met hers. Prepare to duck. She agreed silently. But then a voice echoed through the room. It felt like a poisoned sword plunged into her heart.
"You."
