Our eyes are locked. She held no remorse, no guilt, nothing. She wanted this and it shows through those red windows. The tip of my blade at my mother's throat has everyone frozen. Olivia appears behind Ambrosina and says, "Let's not get too hasty. See, I hate this bitch too. Don't kill her now." Jannelle gives her an ugly look and says, "Are you serious?! She's basically the reason why Celene was going to die. You want her to spare Ambrosina, really?" Jannelle face-palms as Belle summons her scepter. It glows a purple light around us. "Celene, she's luring into one of her psychological traps. I'm sure you already knew that though. If you really wanted to kill her, you would have already. Something's stopping you." I rolled my eyes internally and respond, "Obviously. She's setting something up. If I were try to kill her, I wouldn't win. The only way I'd win is if she didn't think far ahead and I assure you....she did." I raise my left eyebrow at her without lowering my blade. She smiles, "You don't know what I'm capable of, my sweet daughter. What if I didn't and you're just letting me go. I'm actually getting tired of us being at odds. I think we should come together and try to rule the world as Mother and Daughter-"
"Cut the shit. You're actually making me want to vomit. We'd destroy each other in a matter of seconds. Now, can we get something that will immobilize you for at least a few hours." Micro and Belle walk up voluntarily at the same time. They look at each other with a questioning facial expression. "The more, the merrier I guess." Micro and Belle stand on opposite sides of Ambrosina and push their forefinger and middle finger against the middle of their chest, Micro using his left hand and Belle using her right hand. "I've never seen this young man before nor have I felt this much energy-" Micro flicks his right hand and Ambrosina's mouth closes forcefully. Her eyes narrow at him and she starts to scan him up and down. Micro's eyes turn a dark blue while Belle's eyes turn a violet color and Ambrosina falls unconscious.
Daniel picks her up as we all walk to the back of the house and walk inside.
"I must say....this is a surprise for us all. The Dark Empress is really in front of me and she hasn't killed me yet? Look at us. Who would've thought? Not me."
"Shut up, Olivia." Janelle says this with an ugly look on her face. Olivia pitifully smiles and disappears. I pace from right to left with Daniel eyeing my movements with caution. When things like this happens, I could blow up like a bomb in any second...or that's what they tell me. I know I have a slight anger problem but it's not as bad as it used to be. I hear her breathing stop for a minute and I stop my breathing as well. If I know anything about my mother, I know her tactics when it comes to fighting.
She's about to attack someone in the room. It would be rash for her to attack me.
I close my eyes and the outline of the room around me is shown to me in black and the outlines are red. Ambrosina is still slumped on the chair, "unconscious" while the rest of us are around her. The closest people beside her is Micro, Belle, and Artemis. Artemis is right in front of her, while Micro and Belle is on each side of her. As strong as Belle and Micro is, Ambrosina can't be held in one place for too long. I hear Jannelle's voice. "Lexi's not here."
"What do you mean she's not here?" Jannelle's voice is irritated. "I mean, Lexi's not here!"
As soon as she says this, I open my eyes and everything happens in a matter of seconds. I hear Ambrosina lunge out of the chair, towards Artemis. I run past Daniel and my rapier appears in my hand. I slide in front of Artemis and hold it in a blocking position. Artemis' sword was ready, her eyes a glowing red. "I knew she was going to attack, for some reason." My eyes are locked with Ambrosina's. "Yet, you stilled tried to go up against her? God, you are related to me." I kicked Ambrosina back in her chair and she falls back in her chair. I nod at Micro and He and Belle repeat the same spell and she knocks out.
The room is tense, due to the surprising attack from Ambrosina. Then, a strong smell wafts through the room. The smell of decaying flesh..........
