My Gift and My Curse

Chapter 22

He smirked as he created a fire ball in his hand, making my eyes widen. Part of our power was controling the fires of Hell, which was about a hundred times hotter than normal fire. I struggled against my chains as he brought the fire closer to Traitor.

Traitor couldn't move, or else the silver chains would burn him more. The fear in his eyes as he watched the fire come closer was too much to bare. I couldn't handle losing someone else.

I used my magic to melt my locks, allowing me to be freed of my chains. I knew my eyes were white from using my white magic, and how they glowed slightly. I growled as Balthazar turned towards me.

"I will not just stand by and watch you murder the innocent people I love. This ends now."

He smirked wider as he stepped closer to me. "Oh really, and what are you going to do to me? Curse me with your love spell? Maybe some roses and thorns?"

"How about an earthquake?"

I slammed my foot on the ground, making the floor shake, and crack, and break apart. When he was off his balance, I willed my flames to cover my arms, giving me more control over them. I threw my blue flames at him, getting him in the arm.

He hissed in pain at the attack, while regaining his balance. He growled as he copied my attack with his red flames. I dodged the hit, rolling on the floor to the side before attacking again.

We attacked each other with our flames, getting a few hits on each other. We were pretty evenly matched, so it was tough to determine who had the upper hand. My father growled as he threw another fire ball at me.

"Enough!" He yelled, using the pressure from his magic to push me to the ground. He made a circle of fire around him and Traitor, smirking as he looked at me through the flames.

"Come and get me, Princess. Your wolfy is waiting for you." He chuckled as I stood up.

I glared at him, willing my light and dark magic to combine. My eyes glowed purple as I said a spell.

"Day and Night,
We End This Fight,
Let Your Flames Ignite,
And Defeat the Darkness
with Your Light!"

My blue flames swirled in the air, covering the red flames and burning them out. I allowed my flames to surround Balthazar, circling him so he couldn't escape.

I stepped through my flames into the circle, smirking at him. "You messed with the wrong Wiccan."

He chuckled. "You think I'm scared of a little witch? You're weak, just like your mother. And your mortal brother, he was just tragic. He never should have been born, and your mother should have died long before I killed her."

I growled as I tackled him to the ground, punching him in the face a few times to stun him. I used my magic to make the locks around his wrists, keeping him on the ground. I glared as I stood, staring down at him.

He laughed as he looked up at me. "You think a few chains can hold me down?"

"No, but it's enough for my plan to take effect."

"What pla-" he looked at his hands to see the chains had turned into flames, seering his skin. He let out a scream as my flames burned into his flesh.

"You like that? The pain of the fire? That's what you did to my mother. To Michael. And what you did to me. You're going to feel every ounce of pain that I endured, because of you," I growled lowly.

He chuckled dryly. "That's my girl. Give into the darkness. Torture me, kill me, burn me alive. You're no different than me, Ally Cat."

"No! I am nothing like you. You've killed thousands of innocent people, and I'm killing a monster."
