Hellbound With You (WN)

It was over. Alex was the victor, again. He had once again displayed his tactical skills when it came to battle. With two strikes, he managed to subdue his opponent, choosing the most logical path to success – by disabling his opponent ’s fighting arm.

The witch-queen saw her son bleeding from his multiple wounds but she didn ’t even come down to help him. She stayed where she was, glancing at her son one last time before completely ignoring him and focusing her attention on Alexander.

Unfortunately for Alex, he also suffered wounds from the vampires. Little did he know that the blue-bloods had used poison on him, so his wounds weren ’t healing. This was the same poison that he had been inflicted with when Abigail had found him close to death in that forest. Now, Alex finally knew that it wasn ’t the enemy that had poisoned him back then; it was these people, his people. He had tried to tell himself back then that his father and brothers wouldn ’t do something like that to him, but it seemed that his gut feeling was right. They really did want him dead.

Alex continued to fight, advancing like a zombie towards the top of the gate. His men were all dead. He was the only one left. He was bathing with blood. And yet, his eyes were still burning red.

The poison in his body was spreading like wildfire, and he continued to go berserk. The remaining vampires stopped going after him. They didn ’t need to fight him anymore. All they had to do was wait for the poison to do its work or wait for the girl he was desperately trying to save to kill him herself. The vampires and the witch knew how deadly the dragon keeper was, and they all had the same thought – how fitting his end would be if this girl were the one to kill Alexander.

Once Alexander stood on top of the enormous gate where Abigail and the witch queen were standing, Alex stumbled and fell, but he stood up, dragging his sword behind him, its tip causing sparks to fly as it scratched against the floor. His body was becoming weaker and weaker from the effects of the poison, and his lungs struggled to breathe in some much-needed oxygen.

”Abigail… ” Alex uttered as he slowly approached her. His eyes were on Abigail, and he ignored the witch queen as if she wasn ’t there.

The witch queen stepped back from Abigail and ordered her. ”Kill him! ” she said, and Abigail turned to face him. Her eyes were pitch black, dull, and lifeless. However, she didn ’t move.
