Nightmare Quest (Book 3)

22

Madam Silverclaw hisses with annoyance "You just don't know when to quit do you? Honestly when will you learn that you'll never be able to defeat me!"

My frustration boils over "Geeze in the name of Onyx will you please shut up!!"

Madam Silverclaw narrows her eyes and lunges for me. I quickly sidestep to avoid having my face raked by her sharp claws and counter with a punch of my own. She blocks it but she isn't paying attention and I'm able to land a second punch.

The blow stuns her long enough for me to get a little distance in between us. Madam Silverclaw doesn't stay stunned for long however, she quickly recovers and charges toward me. I brace myself for another frontal assault but instead Madam Silverclaw flips over me; she wraps her whiplike tendrils on the ends of her arms around my legs. The next thing I know,  she uses the force of her flip to swing me over her head and catapult me into the ground.

I smash into the rock I was standing on earlier and I feel all the air get knocked out of my lungs. Before I can recover, Madam Silverclaw appears above me and forcefully plants her foot  on my chest. She gives me a wicked smile as she stabs her claws into my shoulder again, and as before I can start to feel my shoulder starting to disintegrate.

I focus all of my energy into my legs. I kick upward with all my might, and I somehow manage to dislodge Madam Silverclaw off of me. I slowly get to my feet and try to ignore the searing pain in my shoulder and just about everywhere else. I grit my teeth and try to steady my deep labored breaths.

Madam Silverclaw laughs and wipes a trickle of blood off of her face "What's wrong Azula, running out of steam?"

I bite back a sharp retort and run towards Madam Silverclaw. She attempts to snare me again with her arm whips, but I dodge both of her attacks and unleash a combination of punches and kicks. To my satisfaction, one after another hits their mark. The last punch knocks Madam Silverclaw backwards and sends her skidding across the ground.

Madam Silverclaw slowly gets back up. I notice that her right arm is hanging limply by her side. With a stifled cry of pain she reaches over and pushes it back into place with a sickening pop.

Madam Silverclaw fixes her fury filled gaze upon me. I freeze with fear as her face contorts itself into a snarl of hatred "You have officially made me want to destroy you."

Madam Silverclaw crosses her arms in front of her and the yellow star in the middle of her forehead starts to glow. The ground beneath us starts to crack in multiple places then without warning it gives way. I start to fall and try to save myself, but then as quickly as it had started everything went black.
