War Queen

Chapter 14: Krissa

Hey everyone,

This chapter was one that I was highly anticipating. So basically enjoy it or don't but I really couldn't care less wether you do or not. 😛

As soon as the hanky touches the floor I strike, a stabbing motion straight for Marco's heart, he casually deflects it before making his own heart stabbing move. I deflect it with ease. We both pull away and circle each other, neither of us are panting even though I had just duelled with Maximum and teleported  three people four miles.

"Not bad, Krissandra"

"Right back at you, Marco"

Marco lunges, sweeping his sword in all directions before getting anywhere near me. Using a mental command I enhance my senses so that I could follow the blade clearly, it was just a little trick I picked up while escaping pursuers. With grace and ease, thanks to my enhanced senses, I deflect his blade before going back on the offensive. Overhead strike, sweep to the shoulder, kick feet out, twirl away, use momentum to circle back and swing blade by the neck, cover open spots, strike his open spots. Within minutes Marco was covered in small, glancing cuts, but all it did was provoke him, making him angry. I smiled to my self, this was what I wanted.

"Give it up Marco"

"You've barely even touched me"

"I've done more then you have"

"You're a girl, I'm going easy on you"

"You wouldn't go easy if you knew that it would be the last time you ever hold a sword"

"What?"

With a strike, faster than those I had done before, I slice Marco's dominant arm off. He screams in agony before falling to his knees.

"Do you give up yet?"

"Bitch"

He screams, holding the stub at his shoulder. He starts to mumble to himself, holding his remaining hand over the wound, without touching it. I figured that he was trying to heal it so I wait, watching with curiosity as skin grows and folds over the end, effectively sealing the stub. I wait a little longer to make sure that his wound heals properly before holding his sword out to him, pummel first.

"I might be a bitch Marco, but I want this to be a fair fight"

"How can it  be a fucking fair fight if I don't have my sword arm?"

"Use your other arm."

"But I've never fought with my left arm."

"Well get used to it quickly because I am no longer holding back."

Everyone in the room stares at Marco, waiting for his response. Debra is shaking her head, pleading with her eyes for Marco to surrender. In a flash, Marco pulls the sword from my grasp, causing the blade to cut a line in my palm. I hiss slightly but within seconds my skin heals, without a scar.

"What the?"

"I'm more powerful than you think Marco"

He growls before trying to strike, his awkward movements making it easy for me to side step out of the way, then use my own blade to deflect his down, causing him to rotate his arm in the wrong direction. He hisses at me before rotating back and trying again. I deflect it again, he was making it easy. I was getting bored so I go back onto the offensive, striking so fast that even I couldn't see my moves with enhanced senses. Luckily for Marco he moves out of the way for every strike, not even bothering to defend himself with his bad arm. Within a few more moves I have him so confused that a slight kick to his stomach sends him collapsing to the floor. I put a foot on his chest, the other on his sword, while I point my own sword at his neck.

"Surrender Marco, there is no point in fighting, I will not duel to the death"

With a shake of his head, Marco flat out refuses. I push the tip of my sword into his neck, causing pain without a wound."

"Surrender!"

I yell into his face and he flinches, the sword causing a slight scrape on his neck. Debra lets out a gasp before moving closer to us. I don't bother to tell her to walk away, she won't do anything with Marco in this position.

"Surrender, Marco, just surrender!"

I yell again, digging the blade in further, causing him to suck in his breath, trying to move away from the tip of my sword. Debra moves closer, kneeling down only a meter away. One of the guards goes to pull her away, looking at me in confirmation, I however shake my head, silently telling him to walk back to his position. With a nod he lets Debra go. I look back down at Marco, he is now smirking.

"So she's your weakness?"

His voice rasps out, his vocals moving around the tip of the sword that I still have pressed to his neck.

"No, there is just no point in removing her because she can't do anything while you are in this position"

His smirk fades as he tries to contemplate this. His smirk returns this time, however a dark cloud covers his eyes.

"Kill me Krissandra, I have seven brothers willing to take my place as heir."

"No!"

Debra screams out, tears rushing down her face. For a moment Marco's smirk falters but he quickly tries to hide it.

"Shut up Debra"

"You can't die Marco, you can't, you're all I have left."

I roll my eyes at her dramatics.

"You have your brother"

I casually point out the person she forgot.

"So, after this he will never want me, i chose the other side"

"A mistake you made because of love."

She shakes her head while Marco's eyes widen.

"I don't love anyone"

She grounds her teeth together, making her lie obvious to everyone in the room.

"Debra, who is it?"

Marco visibly gulps, waiting for her impending rejection.

"Know one, not anymore"

"Debby..."

"Shut up Marco"

A second later Debra is up and striding out through the side door. Moments after her exit, I nod at the guards to hand cuff Marco's hands behind his back. They pull him up, but I quickly realise that this is impossible, due to his lack of one of his arms. However it doesn't seem to be a problem because Marco is slumped over, wallowing in his misery of rejection.

"Don't worry Marco, she'll be back, just you wait"

Yay!

Hi, incredibly amazing readers, you guys are litteraly the best ever!
Chapter 14, finally at the climax, best part ever.

You might have found this chapter boring? Sorry, however, what do you think about Kris cutting Marco's arm off?

Personally I think he's a crybaby, surely if you were learning to fight you would learn how to fight with both hands, right?

Anyway, thanks for reading up to here, also, please, please, please give me suggestions for the next chapter, and then the one after it.

Thanks
