Oracles to the gods. (Book 2 in the gods series)

The start of fighting back

        I built up a ball of flames in each hand, dug my feet in the ground holding myself so I will get a better leverage to throw them. I aimed the fire balls at the low level demons, they won't be enough to even damage the upper level demon, I then released them, throwing one after the other. I could hear the two demons scream as their bodies were quickly engulfed by the flames, okay, that's two down,two to go but the element of surprise is gone now, the two demons left standing were now facing me, the low level demon is creepy, his skin looks melted and burnt, his eyes are all white except for a black dot in the middle, every move he makes looks painful and slow, I can actually hear his bones crack as he moves towards me but the upper level demon, he looks completely human, he is the perfect predator, everything about him lures you too him, his looks, body and even his scent makes you want to get close to him, so you can touch him just once, but I can see past all that and see him for what he really is, dangerous and evil mixed together and put inside a gorgeous exterior. When he see's me a heart stopping smile appears on his face, this is going to have to be a quick fight, I can't risk him getting the better of me, but two on one isn't going to work, I can't fight both, before they get any closer, I need to take the last low level demon out,  he is looking at me weirdly, as if I'm his next meal. I need to do this quickly, while there still making their way towards me, the upper level demon looks confident he already thinks he has won.

                               I move my hand quickly knocking the upper level demon back a few yards with a ball of air, as I send a fire ball towards the last demon, he tried to move but he just isn't fast enough, the ball of fire hits him, as he lets out an ear piercing scream before the flame engulf him leaving nothing but a scorch mark where he was standing seconds ago. I looked toward the last demon,  he is walking towards me with a smile and oozing confidence, he already thinks he is taking the gods and underworlds prized target back with him. I twist my sword in my hand igniting the the flames as they wrap around it, I'm ready to fight, to his death or mine,

"My dear Electra, I have finally found you, you look more beautiful than words can describe, you dont need to fight me" he said as he took in every inch of me, if I didn't know what he is, I would be a giggling mess and weak in the knees by now.

"That's where your wrong, I do need to fight you, I can't let you lead the others to me" I said.

"Why would I lead others to you, my beautiful Oracle, I want you all to myself, lets make this easy, come with me to the underworld willingly, I will give you everything you could need or want, I will protect you, keep you safe from others so you are know longer hunted, love you the way you deserve and make you feel more pleasure than you can ever imagine possible, all you have to do is take my hand, its that easy, I dont want to take you by force Electra but that doesn't mean I won't" he said, as he moved closer to me, holding his hand out.

It would be so easy to take his hand and end all of this, stop all the running and hiding, go to someone that actually wants me. I looked at him, but I knew none of that would happen, he is not capable of love, I will be a captive for the rest of my life, I will never be free again. He already has a smile on his face, thinking he has convinced me, I would be throwing everything everyone has done for me back in their faces if I took his hand, I can't do that, not after everything.

"Your going to have to take me my force" I said looking at him as his face changes from perfect to showing what he really is, a creature that crawled out from the pits of hell.

"So be, but I will have to punish you for this when I take you with me, Electra" he said with a smirk.

We began circling each other, both looking for an opening to attack, he made his move first, I only saw a blur before he was behind me, with the front of his body pressed to my back with one arm around my stomach and his other hand wrapped around my neck. I swung my head back hard hitting him in the nose, as I slammed my elbow into his ribs, smiling to myself when I heard a crack, his grip loosened  and I took that to my advantage, I twisted out of his grip, facing towards him as I grab his wrist putting my body weight on his arm as I put my other hand behind his elbow pulling it towards me, breaking the joint at his elbow, I kick the side of his knee with my foot, successfully making him fall to his knees, I pull my sword up as I made the flames burn higher, I hit his neck with my sword, taking his head clean off but not before he managed to draw his dagger, stabbing me in the stomach and slicing me from my belly button to my hip. I put the tip of my blade to his body setting him on fire making sure he can never come back to here or the underworld.

                                     I gritted my teeth as I pulled his dagger from my stomach. I pulled off my hoody slowly, pressing it tightly against my wound and using the sleeves to tie it around me tightly. It will heal but I need to get home and close the wound first. I walked towards the gate, ripping the lock off as I pulled it open, instead of jumping it and walked to my car, getting in carefully. I started the car and headed for home putting pressure on my wound the whole drive back. I'm loosing alot of blood but nothing a day of sleeping won't cure, my body has always healed quicker when I sleep. The drive home went quicker than the drive there, but I guess that is from knowing I have killed them,  making the drive home less tense and nerve wracking. I pulled up outside my home, wanting nothing more than my bed, til I remember Jack was asleep in the woods near my house, I'm too tired to give a fuck about him seeing me, its not like he will even care. I can still feel him presence as I walked towards the back door, I can hear him mumbling to himself from here already, will he just fuck off and leave me alone, I dont need him here. I take my hoody from around my stomach,  it is covered with my blood, I pressed it harder to my stomach and grab my sword from the back seat, I can't chance leaving it in my car, if anything happened to it, I would never forgive myself. I got out of my car slowly and closed the door. I walk around to the back of my house to my still open door.

                                         I heard his movements as I was coming around the corner of my house, I could feel his eyes on me the second I came around the corner, I heard his movements stop all of a sudden, I pushed opened the door and placed the sword inside out of his view as I took my hoody away from my stomach, opened the bin and threw it in, definitely won't be wearing that again. I walked inside and slammed the door behind me and locked it, making it clear I dont need him, I walked towards one of my cabinets in the kitchen, where I keep my first aid box. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, opened it and left it on the counter beside the first aid box. I took off my tank top slowly making sure not to open the wound any further. I got cotton wool, separate it and poured  water on them, I then picked up the strips and squeezed the water out and started cleaning the blood away. Once that was done, I took out the packet of paper stitches ,opening it, I held the two side of the wound together and put the paper stitches on, making sure they held the wound closed, when I finished I covered it over, its should be completely gone in a day or two. I cleaned up , throwing everything I used into the bin.

                                                   I opened the fridge and pulled out a large bottle of coke and downed it. I need some sugar in my system after losing so much blood. I turned off the light and made my way towards my bedroom. I didn't even bother with the light in my room, I grabbed a jersey from my drawer, put it on as I kicked off my hightops and took off my shorts, I walked towards my bed and crawled in, I turned off my alarm knowing too well I will be sleeping til at least tomorrow night or the morning after. I closed my eyes and let my body get the rest it needed, I didn't even care that Jack was so close I can now hear his heart beat as the rhythm of it lulled me to sleep.
