Chapter 6. ELLA

I pushed my weak and injured body to a stand now with newfound hope. My ally t-said, "There should be a hollow wall around." I felt around the walls and found it. I focused all my pain and imagined tearing the rock apart, it obeyed and crumbled to the floor. I could barely walk so I took the initiative to levitate. I levitated forward into a tunnel. I went through the tunnel and reached a cave.  I looked back and t-closed up the tunnel. The cave was very small as if it were the size of a room. It had three exits. I thought, "Which one should I take?" He t-replied, "The last one to your right."

I obeyed and went straight until I ascended to the surface. Chaos was rampant in the camp. The tents burnt in yellow flames. Smoke smelled throughout the air. Screams of death were echoing each other. Lupi ran around on fire like candles.

I whispered, "Where are you? I can't see you." I heard a small laughter. I turned to see my ally, Octaviet. He said, "Someone looks like they are from a madhouse." A loathsome smell went up my nose. I said, "Well at least I have been taking a bath. You smell horrible." He said, "Try finding a bathroom in this place." I insisted, "You better have one before any else smells you at home. He said, "Anyway for your troubles." He threw me an orange vile. I knew what it was. It was chicha. It helps me to quickly heal from wounds with the side effect of blackouts according to how big an injury is. I thanked him and drank the vile.

I asked, "How did you do the whole thing? Was it all an illusion? It surely felt real." He said, "I just placed an illusion on some random teen wolf. They saw Octaviet while he heard Bane and never Octaviet." I said, "Okay, I think we are done here. Let's go."

A big figure dropped to the ground. It was Alpha in his lupus form. He turned to us. He angrily said, "Where do you think you are going after what you have done?" The quills on his back vibrated waiting for a purpose. They shot out his back and turned towards us. I t-pushed them to the side. He said, "Have you no compassion for us? The people who took you in. The ones that gave you food and shelter. I thought of you as a son, an heir to my title. Your gift back is this betrayal." His face was now stern. Octaviet said, "Here is a gift if you want it."  Octaviet equipped himself with a dagger and stabbed Alpha in the gut.

Alpha grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground. I tried to t-push Alpha off but he didn't barge. He said, "I will kill you for your crimes." A figure dropped next to Alpha. It was Luke. He had a malignant smile, "And so I will. For allowing him in and for being an incompetent leader." Luke pushed his hand through Alpha's chest. He removed his hand out with a heart. A heart of his brother. Luke smiled maniacally as Alpha dropped to the ground lifeless. He said, "I must give my gratitude. It has been hard getting this old fool alone. Now with him gone, I 'm the new alpha."

He went for Octaviet's heart next but he hit the ground. Octaviet appeared next to me with a smug look, "Are you done playing with my illusion?" Luke transformed into his lupi form. He lunged forward for us. Octaviet placed multiple copies of us. Luke tore through every copy that was in his path. I t-fired some stones at him. He dodged and retaliated with his quills. I t-stopped them in the air and shot them back at him. They turned to ashes before they hit him. Luke said, "Can't beat me with my own creations."

I blacked out. I was in a memory. The one where my father signed a contract to allow adoption by Agatha who was at the time in her human form. Wake up. Octaviet said, "Now is not the time to blackout." The infamous side effect of the chicha vile. Hallucinations. Octaviet and I were both in the air getting strangled. Not again. I t-broke his arms. Luke let go and to my horror his arms regenerated. He lunged forward for us.

A thick fog engulfed us all. All I could see was Octaviet. He suddenly said, "Duck" I obliged and felt an arm swing above me. Octaviet pulled my arm putting some distance between us and Luke. He handed me a dagger. He t-said, "He is coming. We don't have much time. He can regenerate meaning he has a core. It is probably his heart. Distract him and give me a perfect opening." Before I could respond, the illusion broke. Octaviet disappeared. Jerk

Luke was a meter away from me. I conjured up all the pain that I once held and t-pushed him. He barely moved back. He chuckled. He mocked me, "You are pathetic. Killing you will not be an honor but instead, help to this world from extra oxygen in taker." I t-made him bite his tongue. I said, "You are on." I t-pushed the tree out the ground and used it to hit him. He simply clawed them apart.

He lunged forward again and this time he got a hit. I recoiled back in pain. He didn't waste time and shot out quills. I held them all in the air and t-shoved them back at him. They cut right through. He didn't stop. I readied myself with my dagger. He attacked. I shoved right it into his chest. He retaliated by placing his claws in my flesh. I screamed in pain. He drove his claws out and barged into me head-first. I was now lying back straight on the ground. I blacked out again and this time he came with me.

We were in a field. Above us were the gargoyles fighting. Luke asked, "Were have taken me, witch?" I didn't do this. Octaviet. I replied, "In my mind where you can't hurt me." Luke said, "We will see about that." He straightened his fingers and run them right through my belly. It was all in my head but I still felt all the pain. I was tired of this. I forced myself awake and t-turned his neck. He fell to the ground and he rose again. He reverted his neck. Fear ran down my spine.

He said, "Did you really think that you could kill me." Octaviet appeared behind him, "Yeah we could. Any day of the week." Before Luke could react, Octaviet stabbed him right through the heart. Luke gasped and disintegrated. He said, "You did it. Good stalling." I said, "Thank you. Now let's get to the island and let's be slow. I am too tired to participate in the Trials of Luna." He said, "I second that. Phil, I summon you." Phil appeared. We got on and flew towards Paricius. I needed to see if those guys could win even without us.
