His Blue Moon Princess -
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 111
It feels a lot longer, but only a few minutes have passed since Nephera began her argument with Sylviana. I try to reach out to Nora, but she's too caught up in the pain, now. Somehow, I think baby number two is in a hurry to come out. I already love that kid. "Once again, I had to be patient... I knew you'd protect Silver City for as long as you could, and Judah and the twins' little bastards too... So I just took my time, gathering even more vampires than before, after having their Vampire Queen acting like a puppet held by my strings. I didn't notice one of them was gone for some time, but once I felt another's Royal print, I rushed there..." She killed Reagan, but couldn't get to Estelle or kill me. Sylviana arrived right in time to save me and have her run away. Nephera shrugs.
"I didn't want to rush, anyway. I had an army almost ready, and I just wanted to destroy you all at once, with Silver City.... So I waited for this opportunity, until today. Now, finally, I'll take back what is mine, and get rid of all of you!"
I growl, pissed of. This woman went from a martyr to a villain, but I just can't listen to her bullshit any longer.
"So what?" I say. "Are we supposed to feel sorry for you now? Do you think you will feel better after this?"
Nephera immediately glares at me, not hiding her anger. A few steps away from us, I can hear the river, going wild, the water raging, but I try to ignore it.
"You can never understand how I felt! My own mother abandoned me for someone else! She lived in comfort while I was left alone to grow in an unknown City! The only man I ever loved threw me away when he was done using me! And then, I lost my child to those wretched, abominations of vampires! How you dare tell me what can make me feel better or not!"
I step forward, mad enough to growl, barely keeping my wolf from jumping out. I'm tired of listening to this woman's ran.
"Yeah, cry me a river," I shout back. "You think you're a victim? What about all of the people you deceived when you didn't help Cynthia reach out to her sister? The families you split just because you were a selfish brat!" "How dare you!" She yells.
"You know what, it's about time someone woke you up from your little messed up drama! Do you think you're the only victim out there? Well, sorry to say, you're not the only one who's lost their parents, or their child! I get you went through some s**t, but you know what? You can suck it up! I lost my parents twice, my mentor, my baby and that still didn't make me one hell of a heinous b***h like you! I know where I f****d up, and I made amends for that! I own my mistakes, I don't blame anyone else for them!"
I let my aura explode out as my anger reached its peak on the last few words, but honestly, I'm fed up with this witch! Nephera isn't impressed. Instead, she looks more furious than ever, and suddenly, a wave comes from the river to her feet and then gravitates around her hands. It's... quite impressive, like watching some special effect. But this is very real, and I know she can do some harm with that damn water now floating around her.
"You think you can judge me?" She yells. "You know nothing! I never had anyone! My mother left me, I had no family, no friends, no one to rely on to! You know what it's like, to lose everyone? To lose your only hope, your child? Judah Black, Queen Diane, her children, they all took everything from me!"
"Oh, yes, I know," I growl. "I also know what it's like to lose one child, they have to abandon the other for her safety. I left my daughter alone in the woods, not knowing if I'd ever see her again, because of you! Maybe your mother wanted to protect you by sending you to Silver City, maybe she had bad reasons, but if you were so desperate to see her again, maybe you should have worked your a*s off and actually helped Cynthia as you should have!"
Selena...
I know Nate wants to comfort me, but right now, I just want to shut up this crazy b***h for once and for all. I am so fed up with her blaming everyone but herself!
"You want to take it out on someone? Well, sorry, everybody you blamed is already dead! The only person you should replace guilty right now is yourself! Nora and I grew up without knowing our parents, too! Damian and Nate killed their own father to save themselves from the bastard he was! Who are you going to take it on next, huh? It's your mistake, own it!"
Nephera's expression is ugly at that moment. Yeah, the truth hurts, bitch.
"You... You...!!!" She screams. "I'll get rid of all of you!"
I guess that's it for her arguments. She suddenly raises her water above her head, and we all get ready, knowing this is our signal. The fight is back on.
Damian, Nate and I jump together to attack, but she launches her water attack as soon as we move. It's way bigger than what I had fought it'd be. I'm hit by a full-wave, and feel my body drown and thrown away before something catches me. I choke a bit, hardly catching my breath. Thank Moon Goddess I managed not to swallow any...
I realize I'm caught in some muddy roots, before Sylviana moves them again, creating several barriers between her sister and us. Nephera tries to attack again, but the roots sprouting in accelerated movements from the ground break her waves, transforming them into little splashes on us. For a minute, I think we might be able to take her down when I remember she's not alone.
As soon as she attacked, all the nearby vampires resumed the fight too. The second I'm released from Sylviana's magic wood or whatever it is, I need to jump to avoid an attack. Those damn things! I don't know if they used her little speech to gather, but there's more and more of them around us. A lot more than before.
I need to jump, kick, throw a punch, run and jump again to avoid the ones coming onto me. I try to keep an eye on what's going on around, but I only catch a glimpse of Damian, surrounded too. They seem to have decided to attack the strongest of us in groups... I hear Liam growling furiously too, meaning he doesn't have time to play anymore. I use my silver bars again, managing to keep them off me, but I don't have a second to breathe.
The ground trembling dangerously and the sounds of waves crashing tell me the witch sisters are going hard at it, too. When I think I'm about to be surrounded, another root suddenly sprouts out to impale several vampires or create another barrier. I appreciate the help, but I have no idea how Sylviana can keep it up.
This whole fight is insane. Wherever I look, it's mud, vines, roots, blood, werewolves or vampires. Our werewolves growling somewhere behind me, and vampires screeching from all sides too. If it wasn't for our mind-link, there's just no way I could give any orders in that uproar and be heard.
I have never seen so much violence on such a big scale. We just keep fighting, growling, trying to kill them one after another. I'm covered in blood and mud. Some managed to scratch me, but most of this blood is from the ones I killed. I try to rip their heads off, tear their throat open or impale their heart. Those damn creatures are resistant, and if they are not killed properly, they can still move whatever's left of them. It's a horror movie. I can't help but scream when one of them suddenly scratches my back deep. Moon Goddess, that hurts!!
Selena!
Nate, no!
He has to stay where he is! I keep fighting, but a few seconds later, I realize another wolf came to fight next to me. I kick away another vampire, avoid one's bite and brutally smack its head before letting myself glance. Levy, you i***t! Don't help me!
Your back is bleeding, Selena! You can't protect your...
Before he can finish his sentence, another vampire jumps at him, making him lose his focus on the mindlink. That i***t! He should be way behind, not in the front line with me! I keep trying to tell him to f*****g back off, but he won't listen!
I do feel the pain, but I can't take it! I smack another vampire with my silver pole and explode his head on the ground when the soil violently shakes again. What the heck are they doing!
I try to shift my position to get closer to Sylviana. The two witches are having an insane fight. I take half-a-second glances between two punches or kicks, but this is out of this world. Nephera is going all out against her sister, sending wave after wave, even shaping her water like ice picks to send them Sylviana's way!
Despite their several years' difference, Sylviana is not letting herself be dominated, though. She is controlling so many roots and even some nearby trees' branches so easily, I realize Nephera was right to be cautious of her. When she's in difficulty, the ground will shake again, and a new crater emerges between her and her sister, putting some distance and destabilizing Nephera and the vampires around. The difference in strength is starting to show between them, but unfortunately, Nephera's weakness is compensated by the growing number of vampires.
I feel like we have been fighting for hours, but they just keep coming, more and more of them. The werewolves keep fighting back, furiously, but I can feel everyone's injuries, and the wolves leaving us...
I furiously growl, trying to gather all of my strength. I throw my poles into the face of two nearby vampires, shift my balance to send my foot right into their head right after, a round kick and sends them flying further away from me.
I growl furiously and shapeshift, jumping into my wolf appearance as easily as putting on clothing. The vampires react strangely to my shifting. Some retreat, others hiss even more furiously at me. I guess my cream-white fur gave it away. I make a warning growl, extending my aura like a halo around.
To my surprise, instead of reacting to my growl, a lot of vampires crawl back, terrified.
Selena, your eyes are glowing!
Glowing? What the hell is going on now! I do feel my aura too, actually, growing wilder like a burning sun in my core. What is that? I extend it again, to reach my friends, all of the pack, and this time, it's not bundle of feeble mind-links I try to hold on to, but a strong connection I feel, like a solid cord connecting me to all of them. I can feel everyone, absolutely everyone. Or... I don't know, I feel like there's something else, tickling, some shadows I can't manage to connect to. Another code I need to c***k, something I need to decipher with my aura. It's ringing in my mind, like a call I just don't know how to answer.
Selena!
For Moon Goddess' sake, Levi, go back! Please! You'll get yourself killed!
He won't be able to hold like that long! There are just too many vampires here! Even the Black Brothers and I just can't catch a break, and Levi is no match!
Don't worry about me!
He is doing okay so far, but one wrong move and he'll die! I just can't watch him and fight my own fights! I try to get closer to him, but the dances of the roots around are confusing me. I can't make any reckless position change without risking to be hitting one. Sylviana knows our positions, but she probably can't constantly watch out for us if we move too much! The only one who seems rather comfortable in this configuration is Liam. It's obvious he's got some experience in random environments or with Sylviana's power. He's like a fireball, jumping from one spot to another, easily adjusting to the roots' random appearances, even sometimes using them as support for jumping all fangs out.
Damian and Nate are doing okay, judging by the bodies around them, but they have been careful not to move too much, facing the same issue as I. All of us as the same objective: getting to Nephera while eliminating as many vampires as we can on the way, but I can feel the other wolves are suffering from our absence on the rest of the battlefield.
"You think you can win, Sylviana?" yells Nephera. "I can kill any of your little dogs anytime I want!"
"Nephera, please, stop this! You can still come back to Silver City! We don't have to fight, you're my older sister!"
"Your older sister that was left and abandoned while you had everything! You grew up with mother, with friends! I had nothing! Nothing!"
They keep arguing, Sylviana begging her to stop again and again, but I can tell Nephera has gone mad being repair. It's not like Iris. My cousin was jealous to the core, but she could still hear us, be reasoned. She was smart enough, too smart. Nephera is just... She left all of her feelings in one place and won't look at it again. She won't hear, she won't listen. She's so sure of her truth, nothing Sylviana will say can get to her. She spent years persuading herself she was right, that she was a victim and we deserved to die for making her life miserable. I can tell just by looking at her. She lives only for her revenge. That's all she has left.
"Selena!"
Sylviana's scream gets me by surprise. She made a mistake and, at the last second, I see one of Nephera's ice peaks flying my way. I try to dodge.
The damn thing scratches my other shoulder, but I throw myself on the ground, and manage to avoid it. I'm lying on the mud, and that's all it takes for two vampires to jump on me. I'm on my tummy, I know I won't make it back in time to defend myself. I try to roll over to at least manage to push them away with my legs, but even that is too late. I see their fangs, coming right at me, when a brown silhouette covers me.
I scream internally. I can feel Levy's pain, the furious bites deep on his shoulder, on his neck.
Levy! Levy! Levy, move! Levy!
He can't hear, I can't reach him. I see his body, right above mine, but I feel this horrible hole, growing larger and larger as the pain sinks in, giving up to the darkness. No, Moon Goddess, no, no, no, not Levy, please, not him...
I want to cry, to scream, but this is a fight.
One of my best friends' bodies is the only thing protecting me, but I feel the horrible movements coming from above, as the vampires keep biting and biting, killing him in a horrible, painful way. I want to scream in horror, I just can't bear it.
I bite my feelings in and shift position to jump out, and grab the closest vampire, ripping is neck in one bite. One by one, I take down all those blood-suckers, cursed creatures who were attacking him. I know it's useless, it's too late to save him, but I just attack, attack and attack again, furiously, like some death machine. I'm blind furious.
I take all those monsters down, away from my friend. I'm choking up, crying, but I need to release all of my fury. I can feel Danny and their family, and they all felt him die too, and I'm even more furious and sad for them.
"Get to them! Kill them all, you useless vampires!" Yells Nephera. "Get to their Luna's house!"
More vampires appear. Moon Goddess, is there no end to this? I growl furiously, as the anger gets to me. We are all here, all werewolves fighting to defend our turf, all connected, all standing, growling furiously. We are not letting them in.
