The cursed blessing

Master oh my master

Aya

He hung up the phone and waited impatiently. This was my chance I came out of the shadows and positioned myself across from him. He stood there with his back turned to me, which made killing him easier than ever, but I wanted to see his face when he realized that it was me.

“Master oh my master”, I mocked.

He turned around and his smiled faded as soon as he saw me. “You? Why are you still alive? Did you coordinate this attack?”

His nostrils flared and his eyes were full of rage as he balled his fists.

 “It is none of your business anymore and yes, it is my team that attacked you. What will you do against it Castor? Kill us like you did with Connie?”

He smirked at the mentioning of Connie which made me even more furious. We circled each other and I was ready to end his life as I heard footsteps undeath me. The reinforcement must have entered the second floor. I hoped that Zecel was able to hold them at bay as long as I was occupied with this maggot Castor.

I unfolded my wings and started my first attack. Castors jaw dropped as he watched me come closer with my firsts balled and my wings fluttering behind me. He regained his composure just in time to avoid my fists.

I never saw Castor fight before. Normally he had the money and the power to direct people to do the dirty work for him, but this situation was different. It was a life or death situation and I was sure that I would be the one standing after this fight was over. For Connie and for all the other girls I had to be strong.

I called for the power inside of me and formed energy bullets, which I fired at him all at ones. He ran and took cover behind another power supply box to avoid being hit by my hail of bullets.

They all missed him but I wasn’t ready to stop, with my energy whip I grabbed his ankle and yanked him out of his hiding spot. Using all my strength I willed my whip to beat him against the floor several times, before he was able to loosen the whip around his ankle. His face was covered in blood and he must have lost some teeth during my ragdoll play but now he was even angrier at me. He pulled out a dagger and lunged at me. I dodged but he was fast, and his dagger slit my shoulder and drew blood. I felt the pain inside my arm but it didn’t matter. Suzie had to feel a lot of pain because of me and Connie even lost her life for me. The pain will help me to remember the sacrifices some people made for me and therefore I couldn’t stop. He punched me in the gut and tried to grab me but I wiggled myself out of the situation and took a step back. Thinking of a new attack angle I tried to use a combination of punches and kicks such as the ones Zecel showed me in combat training and observed his movements while attacking.

 His left leg seemed to be a lot stiffer than the right one, which meant that he wasn’t able to support himself long on the left leg. Kicking me was therefore more difficult for him and his stand was weaker than mine, which helped me to develop a good strategy to bring him down.

Summoning a huge energy ball made his face white as a sheet of paper and he tried to run but I chased him with the ball and ran after him as well. He tried to find cover, but I reached him just in time to kick him directly in the hollow of his knee, which made him stumble and fall.

This was it, the moment of truth. He turned around and I could see the fear in his eyes as I positioned the energy ball in front of him. He didn’t dare to move at all and tried to do the one thing he knew best. “Aya, dear child. What do you want? Money? Or do you want your own slaves? I can grand you nearly every wish you could think off. Let me know what you desire.”

“Nearly every wish huh? For what you did to Connie and the other girls for so many years, for all the pain you have caused and for all the families you have destroyed, my one and only wish is simple, and you know what? I can grand it myself. Die.”

In this moment I let the ball fall and it hit him directly in the chest. His screams were like music to my ears. Connie can you hear this? I hope you can find peace now that he is gone. I promise you sooner or later the bastard who got Castors permission to kill you will die as well.  

His screams slowly died down and I looked down at a motionless demonic shell with a huge hole where the heart should be. The contracts will turn to ashes and my dear friends will be free. My heart felt a lot lighter knowing that Lydia and the others were save now, but then I realized that my teammates were still in trouble with the new guards, who came to support Castor. Soon a helicopter with more guards will arrive and find the now dead Castor on the roof. We needed to get out of here quickly before all hell breaks lose.

“The reinforcement wasn’t the only one. Soon a helicopter with more guards will arrive. We need to hurry up and bring the girls out. Over”

“I asked the girls and as far as I know only two more girls are missing. Over” said Sindra.

“I am working on it together with Michele. Over” said Rick.

I flew down the second floor as fast as I could and saw Zecel fight a guard, who stood with his back to the window. I used my foot and with one swift motion the glass broke and I sat on the guard’s shoulders clamping my legs around his head. Zecel used this moment and rammed his dagger into his heart.
