Purple Blood

The one thing I lack

Ascending the stairs, I made a right turn instead of a left like the others. I had to see her again, even if it's just an empty shell.

Standing outside the room with my eyes closed, I took a deep breath and braced myself before entering.

And there she was, laying down lifelessly on the ground in a puddle of blood.

With tears blurring my vision, I dragged my jelly-like legs across the room and waved my hand to shift her onto the bed with my powers. Kneeling beside the bed, I reached out my shaky hand to close her lids.

If only I had the ability to perform Vitalum Vitalis, then maybe I could bring her back right now. It was sadly the only ability that I lack, out of the seven wonders. Why? Just...WHY?

Softly weeping while I held onto her stiff hand, screams cut through the silence in the outpost, instantly putting me in a vigilant state.

"HE'S COMING!"

"GET HER OUT OF HERE! HURRY!"

"Shit" I muttered as I quickly made my way to the other side of the outpost.

While I was on my way there, what came into view made my heart dropped. Bodies. Bodies that belonged to Coco, Marie, Maddison and for some reason, Dinah.

Without having to think, I already know who killed them. Son of a bitch is back.

Picking up my pace, I rushed to the bathroom and was relieved to see Myrtle, Cordelia and Mallory, but something was wrong. Panic was written all over their faces and Mallory, who was laying down weakly in the bathtub filled with water, seemed to be wounded and was unable to perform Tempus Infinituum no matter how hard they tried to chant.

"It's not working, it's not working. She's not strong enough" Cordelia turned to look at us helplessly with tears glistening in her eyes. It was the first time I had seen her in such a vulnerable, helpless state. She was always the one to stand in danger's way fearlessly when it comes to protecting her coven, her family, no matter what the challenge may be and for that, she had earned my everlasting respect for her as my leader, and Supreme.

"I'm so-sorry Cordelia" Mallory says weakly and looked at her apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, look at me. Hey, come on, no no no ARGHH" Cordelia groaned as Mallory slowly loses consciousness.

"It appears as though we're fucked, my dear" Myrtle responded in her usual soft, calming voice that was now filled with disappointment and despair.

Cordelia looked up and gazed into Myrtle's eyes before losing herself in her thoughts. Within seconds, she lifted her head once again, this time with her face awashed with determination.

'I die, so she can be born'

We have reached the dead end of the road. And this, is our last hurrah.

"Char, take care of Mallory" She stood up promptly while I crouched down to hold onto Mallory and she made her way to the door.

Before stepping outside, she bit her bottom lip and turned her head back to Myrtle.

"I love you"
