Demon of my Heartstrings

Twenty Four: Final Battle

-Sirius-

We found him. That damn puppeteer who killed Zakary and who had a hand with everything. Chax and I chased him until he stopped in front of a huge mountain. We stopped behind him as he just stands there looking up at the mountain. I nod to Chax to go one way as we try to sneak up on the puppeteer, but as we were closing in on him he disappears. What the fuck! I thought pissed off. He was just waiting to do that, wasn't he? That damn puppeteer thinks he can outsmart me well he has another thing coming. I nod to Chax again as we turn around to try to see if we can find where he went when we both stop again. Seriously? He just teleported behind us? I thought like he's stupid.

"You're the stupid one. Why didn't you teleport after him?" Shiva asks me.

"You know very well that we can't teleport after someone who doesn't even have a scent." I growled at him.

"He might not have a scent, but he still has magic." Shiva tells me like I'm stupid.

I growled at him as I shut him out and started throwing fireballs at the damn puppeteer. He of course dodged them, but Chax jumps towards him trying to knock him down. The puppeteer used his strings to smack him aside like a whip. It was loud that I heard it actually smack him across the face! Chax flies backward crashing into the mountain with a loud bang before he falls onto the ground with a groan. I winced from that as it looked and sounded like it hurt. I ran over to him to see if he's okay but gasped when he sat up dazed with his one side of his face all bloodied. If he was human he would've died from that, but it will heal over time. I think he will still have a scar though.

"Are you, uh okay?" I ask stupidly.

"I-I uh my face hurts." Chax stutters as he falls back onto the ground.

I shook him a bit wide-eyed as I couldn't believe that he just fainted. Chax is a demon and something like that shouldn't have made him faint. Right? I glance over at the puppeteer when he started to chuckle at the situation. I growled angrily and annoyed at him as I stood up facing him. He's killed one of my friends, hurt my friends, and helped kidnapped my soulmate. He's on top of my kill list and I will be the one to kill him. I stepped away from Chax as I transformed back into my demon form before taking off into the sky. I didn't get far as I felt strong string wrapped around my ankle. I hissed from the sharp stinging pain that it's causing around my ankle as I'm pulled forcefully back down to the ground. I landed with a thud as the string left around my ankle. I stood up as the pain is still there but it's healing slowly. I glared at the puppeteer as he's a tricky one to beat, but I'm not giving up.

"Why don't you just let me go, dearie?" The puppeteer asks tilting his head to the side making a ticking noise.

"Never! You will die at my hands for everything you've done!" I growled.

"Don't you know fighting against a puppeteer is useless, dearie?" The puppeteer asks smirking.

"Don't you know fighting against the son of Satan is useless?" I ask narrowing my eyes at him.

"So, you gonna play that game dearie?" The puppeteer asks as he made some strings appear.

"We've been playing this game for a long time now." I growled as I throw fireballs after fireballs at him.

I dodged his attacks just barley as I can barely see the strings whipping my way, but I missed a couple but some managed to draw some blood. I don't know how but he somehow is dodging all of my attacks. How is he doing that? I wondered bewildered. There's no way someone could be that good at dodging attacks. I growled as I made more fireballs appear before throwing them at him before flying into the air. I throw more and more until I'm suddenly smacked out of the sky painfully. I landed on the ground making a small indent as I groan from the pain. When the dirt and dust slowly vanish the puppeteer jumps down into my view. I growled as I winced as I try to get back up. How is he so strong? He's just a demon? Isn't he? I thought confused. I felt a sharp string wrap around my throat as it squeezes tightly around me. I try to catch my breath as I'm choking and I never thought I'll die from someone like him. I don't get it, why is he so tough?
