I really should have started training when Piper did. In my defense, I thought I had time. Never did I imagine that I'd find myself in such a situation. I was fighting for mine and my baby's lives. I dodged yet another attack, but I don't know how long I could keep this up. My plan was to keep dodging until Raven got back. With her powers, she could easily take the woman down. "Will you stay still?" she snarled at me, and I just scoffed Was she stupid? Stay still so that she can capture me. Over my damn dead body. I don't know what Beth had done when she told us not to worry about Alec coming after us, seemed like she'd somehow convinced everyone that I was dead. but it If this woman is able to catchand takeback to Alec, I know there will be hell to pay. First of all, because of what he believed I did, and second, because he'll take it personally that he was tricked and fell for it. "Can we just please talk about this?" I asked her in desperation. I was getting really tired. Leaning against a tree, a few distance from her, I try to catch my breath. This whole thing remindedof the Tom and J**y cartoon. "There is nothing to f**g talk about," she responded with a menacing and cold voice. "Do you realize how much money I can bag when I capture you and take you back to Alpha Alec? Not only will I be rewarded, but I'll be praised for capturing a traitor who faked her own death." I looked at her, puzzled. "I didn't fake my death; as you can clearly see, I'm alive." What the hell was she talking about? How would I fake my death? It just wasn't possible. The only way that would be possible is if someone found a burned body and somehow Beth managed to convince them it's me. Even then, knowing Alec, he would demand a DNA test be done, unless the body was burned to ash, which I still doubt Alec would easily believe it'swithout proof. "Yes, you did." Her voice pulledback to the present. "They found your body, tortured, and the throat slit." That couldn't be right. I am right here, so how the hell is it possible that they found my dead body? "That's not possible," I mumbled to myself, still unable to make sense of things. 1/3 Something wasn't adding up, What had Beth done? And if the were the one responsible, which I firmly believe she is, what is the extent of her power to be able to manipulate a body to look like mez Did she use an illusion spell or sother type of magic? Before I can get my head wrapped around everything, the woman attacksagain. "Enough chit-chat, it doesn't matter what's possible or not; what matters is the reward I'll get when! bring you to the Alpha." My brain was a bit slow, so when she attacked me, my guard was down. I tried running, but she kickedin the back, which sentflying. I hit a tree before crumbling to the ground. Trying to get up was a fit. My body f**g ached, and the pain was immeasurable. For a second, I saw stars. I wrapped my hand protectively around my belly, hopping against all hopes that my baby would be fine. I struggled to get up, but before I get the chance, she's on me. She flipped me, with my back to the ground, as she snarled at me, baring her sharp teeth. I tried to use my hands to stop her, but it did no good when her fangs sank into my wrist. I screamed in pain, because, damn, being bitten is f**g painful. She stopped for a few seconds before staring atwith glowing red eyes. "What are you?" she asked, her head tipped to the side in curiosity. It was the sdamn question the other vampire that attackedasked. Idon't get a chance to think that much into it because she resumes sucking. It felt like she was tearing my hand apart. Using my other hand, I searched for anything I could grab. Anything I could use as a weapon. She had her eyes closed, like she was relishing each drop of my blood. I knew deep down that if I didn't do something, she wasn't going to stop until there wasn't any blood left inside me. I couldn't let that happen. My hands grabbed onto a rock. It was a bit heavy, but I managed to lift it. Since she had her eyes closed, she didn't see the attack coming. Hitting her on the side of the head as hard as I can, she lets go ofand falls. I don't give her tto recover. Adrenaline pumped intowhen I got on top of her, and Continued hitting her over and over again until she wasn't moving anymore. By the tshe was still, my hands were covered in blood and her head had been completely bashed in. Taking deep, quick breaths, I tried calming my racing heart. Once I've made sure she's dead, get off her and collapse on the ground next to her.. I'd just gotten my heart rate to go down when I heard a rustle and then slow hand claps, I looked up to find a man who seemed to be a few years older than me, staring at the dead woman before turning his deadly green eyes towards me. He looked scary, especially with the scar that ran from his right eye to his cheek bone. He's looked like someone you don't want to mess with. Seriously? Can't I get a f**g break.
