Once Upon A December (Book 1)

Chapter 65-Sad Smile

My eyes widen at what she's talking about, knowing the hit he took from her and that he was poisoned with her curse, my eyes then fill with anger as his yells enter my ear, I stand, feeling my magic build in my hands and my necklace, my eyes glowing blue and my hands bulge with the powerful anger that filled them, the blue light forming in my palms "FIGHT ME! NOT HIM!" I demand, making all eyes worriedly look my direction, the others seem to protest, but I care hear them, the dome covering their yells. I still pay no attention to them, I hear Jack moan and yell my name in pain, just that yell making me flinch slightly and make tears build in my eyes, Izzy just grins wickedly at my demands "whatever the lady wants" he grins with no actually feeling other than evil and manipulation, she yells and life's for me, I throw my arms open like I was going to hug her, except that was the last thing I was going to do, my hands fill and overflow with my magic. My chest pumps out, mt necklace glows, she lunges for me and right as she seems to hit me, my barrier comes up and protects me, the beautiful white color protecting me, her hands try and push against my barrier to get to me, mt eyes staring right as hers, holding slight weakness, I wasn't fighting with my all, even I knew that, I didnt want to kill her, I didn't want to hurt her and do to her what I did to Hades, I didn't want to fight her, something comes to my mind, a plan, a good, but risky, plan. My mind decides to go with it, fight with my all and then do the last part, but, for once in my life, I hesitated, hesitation for my own life, I shake my head slightly and clear my head from that dangerous trail of thought, I push back, pushing the barrier further against her pushes, she grunts, trying to shove against my hold, but I push hard, I then swipe like I laid a strike to her face, she flies back, her feet helping her skid to a slow stop, her eye snap up, meeting mine with such pure anger. She tries lunging again, Jack yelling another pain filled yell behind me, my anfer builds back up, like his yells were my own personal dose of soda, like a drug to me, making me stronger, just for me to become weak and useless later, my mind wasn't thinking as I throw my powers and fists at her, landing many, many violent hits, this wasn't like me, I never wanted to fight, but it was part of the plan, she lunges and throws her fists at me, her eyes burning even though they looked ice cold. She hits me only once, but it doesn't matter, I hit her more constantly, a newfound strength filling my bones and muscles, hitting and hitting her, her face growing bruises and cuts, the barrier keeping the others away caming down with her lost of strength and attention, the others run to Jack, who is still on his back, struggling to stop yelling in the pain that wouldn't stop filling him, I hit harder, tears in my eyes for her hurting the one I love, she flies back. Her body slamming into the same column that my friends and family had helped me carry, she yells in pain and stumbles back, laying on her back, her eyes staring at the sky, her arms and legs sprawled out all over he place, her eyes holding a certain look, the hue looking as if she was waiting for the end to come, just waiting for me to do it, daring me even to do it, knowing I would never and that I would use my flaw to make an excuse for her, knowing she wouldn't change. But I knew what she wanted, and I wasn't going to give her what she wanted, my eyes burn with anfer for what she was doing to Jack, but with that in mind, a small and distance voice comes to my head, yet, it was so clear feom it's distance, so strong, so sure, so, loving and caring, it was his voice, yet, he didn't speak or utter a sound, he was still for the forst time since Izzy came, but I could hear his voice in my head, begging me not to do this, begging with all the strength he had. The real me came through witg his soft and caring voice, the drug of determination and anger no longer in my innocent and caring bones, no longer betraying  what I used to be, my eyes soften and my body visibly relaxes, Izzy becomes utterly confused ad to why my body became do calm and relaxed "I dont want to fight you, Izzy" I try to soothe, her eyes sharp with suspicion and disbelief "I don't want to hurt you, you can still change, I'll give you what we should've given you a long time ago, a second chance". I state deeply to her, she grins "you want to give me something?" She asks grinning knowingly "anything" I answer innocently, not knowing what shw wanted "how about..." She trails faking her thinking, I smile at her "you're death" she finishes with an evil grin, making my eyes fills with fear and my smile disappear, she pushes harder as soon as she sees that realization fills my eyes, tears fill ky eyes, knowing that I had to follow through with my plan. "I never wanted this, but you have me no choice" I tell her, the tears stain my cheeks as I release of the energy that I actually had, not holding back the slightest, she yells in pain to the magic entering her, her magic replacing mg own and vice versa, the blue glow of powers surrounds us as she yells continuously, I hear the screams of those I called so close, dear and loved ones, letting everything go as I close my eyes, sighing and letting all the pain go, my lips holding a sad smile.
