The winde blew their clothes and made their hairs dance to it as they walked further into the forest, Audrey was walking ahead ready to face whatever that is coming with the help of her memories, she had to memorise the map and now it feels like it was engraved in her mind. It's crazy that once she momerized the map, it disappeared and left the walls blank just like it was before, it's like it sensed that she did. While Annie kept turning her head everywhere detecting any threat, her heart was pounding in a crazy pace that even the sound of the rustling leaves that she herself has stepped on shocked her to the core. Her instincts told her that trouble was awaiting them anytime from now on, she just prays for them to come out of this scary forest alive. As she was lost in her own thoughts she bumped onto Audrey's back and jumped screaming "Aaah!" She thought it was already beginning.
Audrey had stopped confused on which path to take amongst the two paths before her when she felt her bump on her and scream, she should be the one to scream and not her! She turned to face her quickly "Annie! It's just me and stop screaming for God's sake!" She scolded, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, this was the reason why she would sneak out alone back in Dillonia, Annie was such a worry wart!. And it's not like she is a weak girl, no! She can swing her sword very well, it's just the worry thing in their genes, she thought Zara has the same disease, worry warts!.
"Are we lost?" Finally she asked something reasonable apart from her worries. "A bit yeah, now let me focus" she shut her eyes trying to connect the dots on the map and thankfully, not just her mind was smart even her mind was, opening her eyes she had a wide grin. "This way" she walked to the left path.
Annie followed her immediately, tagging closer behind her than necessary, she knew better than to not end uo alone within this hideous forest, she never thought such imaginative and scary fairy like forest actually existed. Suddenly a group of crows passed above their heads making them crouch down with Annie screaming her lungs out as usual. The hairs on her back stood and even her ears straightened, they got up standing properly, Audrey placed her hand on Annie's chest pushing her back and she cane to stand by her front in a protective shield. Annie felt like she was drenched by cold water, she knows that look of Audrey better than anyone else, she gulped. "What is it Rey?" She whispered, while Audrey's ryes were fixed to their front with a smirk "The troubles in your prophecy St. Annietta" she whispered back, she was prepared for this and it would've been better if she was alone.
"What?" She blurted her eyes widening, she held her sword in position. "You heard right honey? Now please be careful, we only have each other here" they had no choice but to fight now. "Shouldn't we run?" She asked as that was the only thing her adrenaline rush was telling her to do at the moment. Audrey shook her head "There is no point, they'll be here anytime soon" she sighed. Audrey cried with no tears, raising her head up to pray "No more beasts, please heaven!" Audrey was amused by her, she was acting as if she was going to die. "I don't think so, they don't smell like it" she assured her, they weren't beasts but some other creatures and it was a couple of them, the moment she helt her sword a group of four with red eyes appeared few meters to their front. Annie's eyes widened "Va..va..vamps!" She stuttered with her word, they have come across them back in Dillonia but she still can't get used to them, they were quite tricky but not as much as the witches were, the witches were cunning by nature.
'Yeah, might as well fuck me!' She cursed in her head, Audrey unsheathed her sword staring at them with Annie behind her. She was grateful that they weren't beasts because they are too huge for her energy, last time they drained her. It was just some vampires, she could take them, she had a grin on her full lips. "My my my…..look who we have here guys? Beautiful ladies wandering alone in the dark forest, what a view!" Said one of them, he had a nose ring. Audrey was silently observing him 'Ok, a bragging one, he could go down easily' said Audrey in her mind. "Oh come on, can't ladies roams around the dark forest alone too? Look at me" said another one sarcastically, a woman with red hairs. 'Doesn't even care of her fellow gender, she is a bitch! Two down!' Thought Audrey, while they were talking she was observing their appearances and the way the behaved so she ciuld easily crush them against their weaknesses later.
"Of course you can, except for these beautiful beings, they need to be taken care off, they are delicate" said another one laughing historically alone, his fellow vamps didn't buy his joke or whatever. 'A psycho! Three down!' She calculated, amused by the sound of it, I told Annie that it was gonna be so much fun! She thought. Waiting for the last one with long curly hairs to talk so that she could predict his doom too but to her surprise, he didn't and just stared back at her. 'Huh! At last there was a nerd in their group as well?' She thought. The nerd might be quite troublesome because just like her, he was reading her as well but she still believes that she could take him down as well, perhaps. Upon seeing them unbothered as expected by their words the vampires were awed. How could these pretty ladies be so determined even at their deaths?.
"Annie I've got this, step aside" she said pushing her further back so she could take them alone. "Are you kidding me? I want this!" She retorted loud enough for them to hear her so they could get it to their stupid heads that these so-called beautiful ladies aren't scared of them. "Oho! She is a nosy one!" Said the red haired woman annoyed. "Let's just wrap things up guys" said the nerd lazily, finally he spoke after running out of patience! Thought Audrey suppressing a a laughter surprising all of them. She then spoke "Let's do that, I'm too occupied for this" she uttered confidently. Annie and her stood in a way that their backs were facing each other while the fools were circling them, the two were ready to slice them. It's funny and weird that Annie's worries have vanished into a thin air and was replaced by a fierce lady, one wouldn't be able to recognize her now.
The four vampires launched at them so as to distract them. 'What a stupid move for big bodies like theirs?' Thought Audrey as they both dodged their claws and striked forward with their swords. "I got two!" Squealed Annie to able to cut them even if it wasn't deep. "Good! I got one!" Retorted Audrey as she was able to slice the psycho deeply on his chest, they stood back to their fighting stance with their swords drawn forward. The vampires couldn't even understand what was so funny here or then what language those pretty ladies were talking about, they seemed to be so very happy and enjoying the fight, they were expecting them to cower around but looks like they've entered a wrong washroom today, ladies washroom to be specifically!. "Don't get too excited you two" said the bragging one as their wounds were healing right before their eyes, their smirking at them. "Stop bragging, it's not like you can live without your heads on, can you?" Said Audrey sarcastically and winked at the man, their gazes faltered for a short while, it was true that they can heal easily but then it was also true that they can't keep on being alive without their heads.
The red haired woman and the nerd stood back letting the other two fight first, since they realized fighting them together wasn't a good option, just not with the way they were swinging their swords, they could lose their heads altogether in the process. A lot of realization happened, they weren't normal pretty ladies but they had a good swordmanship skills as well. So they were fighting in a pair now, "Fair enough," said Annie. One of the two threw his claws ahead attempting to slice Audrey's pretty face, she was able to tilt her head back just in time and gave him no chance to retreat, she plunged her sword deep in his ribs, the psycho stepped winced in pain amd stepped back "Fuck you bitch!" He cursed at her.
That's it! She have had enough now!. She attacked him non stop giving him noc chance to heal. The man fell to the ground in his knees crying in pain, his body was butchered and battered everywhere. Panting, Audrey flipped on top of him and pulled him by his hair upon landing behind him, she sliced his throat and let go letting the head roll down. "One down!" She announced just in time Annie has bring down her opponent as well, she had dug on the other one's stomach before slitting his throat as well. "Correction! Two down!" They were both sweating and panting heavily but still stood firm, facing the rest of the two vampires. The two vampires were surprised by the outburst of energy, they looked so fragile and softies that they couldn't believe they just ended their fellows. "Annie, who said they can roam around the dark forest all alone?" She mocked "My my my….look who these beautiful beings have taken down? What a view!" Responded Annie sarcastically, they both smirked at them, taking exactly what they said and twist them to their own words.
"Now you are all dead!" Said the nerd vampire and attacked Audrey while the red haired woman went for Annie. As they said, save best for the last, these fools were stronger compared to the two they have killed earlier, they pushed them to their deaths. Such a selfish creatures but the kadies weren't going to give up either and get killed, in a war you either kill or get killed but one has to go down for the other one to survive not matter what. In the fit of the intense fight, the nerd was able to snatch Audrey's sword and threw it far away from her reach "Clang!" Her eyes widened along with her gasp, the nerd felt like he was a victor already without a knowledge that Audrey wasn't all about swords even though it was her favorite weapon, she wondered if they really haven't noticed who she was yet or were just acting naive. Just when he was about to attack her, Audrey spoke "Pain!" A sudden shot of pain succumbed the nerd, he knelt screaming "Aaah! Let me go you fucking witch!"
He shouted spitting blood, and when he wanted to get up again admist his pain, he wasn't able to, he was glued to the ground. Audrey walked to get her sword elegantly, she then came back to stand behind him, sparing a glance at Annie who also busy fighting the woman with her glowing eyes, she held the man's chin "A fucking witch? You should've known better not to mess with one then. But I won't blame you, your kind are famous to have so much pride" she cut his throat without a second thought, he choked as blood gushed from his neck until he was no more, dropping down like a sack. Seeing that, the red haired vampire was shocked, she was the only one remaining, she clawed Annie's shoulder with her pointy nails.
Annie hissed "Aaah!" She used the opportunity and fleet away saving her neck. "I will have your neck next time bitch! It's an oath!" She yelled holding her bleeding shoulder. "Annie, are you okay? Let me see" she ran to her side examining her shoulder with a frown. "Ah its nothing, just a little cut" she winced in pain even though she was saying otherwise, it was stinging a lot. Audrey smacked the back of her head "Aah! Why are you adding to my pain?" She shouted at her, her eyes were glowing as is she was about to swallow her. "Exactly! How could you say it's nothing when you are in pain? Idiot! Wait a minute," she placed her palm on her wound and chanted some words. Surprisingly, the spell wasn't working on her wound. In fact they were both shocked, she just used her powers on the vampire but its not working on Annie's wound? Heh! What is happening? She thought, her heart was clouded by a sudden fear, she has never been so scared in her life like now, the fear of the unknown.
