"Oh fuck… I'm so sorry." Baron said as the gun fell from Amanda's right hand and AJ stood up, yanking the silver bullet out of his side.
"Sorry?! Those demon hunters are right, you're insane!" Amanda yelled as Natasha ran in and over to AJ.
"What happened?!" Natasha asked, pressing a towel to AJ's wound.
"That crazy bitch…" AJ answered, Natasha seeing the bloodstained silver and turning to Amanda in rage.
"You shot him?!" Natasha yelled.
"He didn't give me a choice." Amanda said, picking the gun up and grimacing slightly, Natasha seeing Amanda drop it after steam rose off of her hand.
"You turned her?!" Natasha asked in rage, Baron holding her arms down as she swung at him.
Several growls were heard… going into fight or flight mode, Amanda picked up the gun and fired blindly, Natasha and Baron falling with bullets grazing their arms and AJ ducking to the floor as the other wolves fell dead.
"No… I'm not gonna let myself turn." Amanda said, bolting to her room. When the others reached it, Amanda's things were packed up and Natasha tried to stop her. "Get away from me! He's only an hour and a half from here, he'll help me!" She screamed, grabbing her handcrafted machete… but Natasha just laughed at the slightly shorter girl.
"Just bloody try it, sweetie pie." Natasha said, her right hand turning to metal and her palm shining an orange glow.
"You think he can't be trusted? He's helped people before, humans and supernatural… why do you doubt him?" Amanda asked.
"You forget that I've been in the world beyond this one, I've seen lives as they began and their planned life purpose… and the purpose assigned to Finn Balor was to kill me." Natasha answered.
"Because you were born a demon… I'm still human. And I'm finding him!" Amanda said, throwing the machete which lodged into Natasha's right shoulder and Baron catching Natasha as Amanda took off.
Running into the snowy night, Amanda stopped at a payphone, put a quarter in and dialed Finn's number.
"Hello?" Finn asked.
"You were right, they're trying to kill me!" Amanda said frantically, Finn bolting off of the leather couch. "I'm gonna head to where you are, just stay there!" She said, suppressing a pain filled cry and Finn realising what had happened and tried to calm Amanda down.
"Wait, I'll be there as soon-" Finn responded, both cut off by enraged screams.
Amanda jumped back when Natasha broke the glass door and immediately started beating the other girl with the phone, the call going dead and Natasha bleeding heavily from her right ear as she looked up at Amanda, who's new teeth were emerging from the moonlight shining on them.
"You… shouldn't have done that!" Natasha growled, her hands turning to steel again and her eyes glowing brightly, the satanic pentagram shaped scars on her shoulders also glowing as tiny flames started burning along them.
"Defend myself? Why not, it's what you and those savages claim to do!" Amanda said, Natasha standing up.
"I mean… you should not have left me alive!" Natasha responded before quicker than Amanda could even blink, she found herself hurdling through the air until she impacted into a tree with enough force that the tree splintered and halfway broke apart, the same going for Amanda's spine and the back of her skull.
The agony and loss of control of half her body was unbearable to Amanda, and she only felt worse when Natasha appeared nearby, still glowing and with steel hands.
"Go on then… finish it…" Amanda managed to hiss through her agony… but what happened wasn't what she expected. She was thrown front first onto the ground as Natasha's metal fingers tore her back open and rearranged things… before she stood back and raised her open palms towards her, yellow colored lightning bolts coming up from the ground, through Natasha's hands and to Amanda's back, which shifted and pulsated as the spine, it's nerve and her back flesh was repaired. She was still badly bruised and her head hurt immensely… but she was able to stand.
And of course, looking around gained no sight of Natasha.
"Dublin… have to… find him…" Amanda said, picking the dropped duffel and leaving…
Amanda's eyes snapped open as Finn rubbed his hand up and down her back, Amanda taking deep breaths as she realised she had been screaming violently.
"Hey, it's alright… it was just a nightmare, lass." Finn whispered, Amanda looking around.
They were in his apartment in Orlando, several horror movies scattered around the coffee table in the living room… with Halloween nearing closer, they had gotten into horror movie marathons.
Amanda relaxed more as Finn ran his fingers through her collarbone length hair, Finn picking her up into his arms after stopping the DvD of Amityville Horror and took Amanda upstairs. Tucking her into the bed, he walked back downstairs and reorganized the DvDs before returning upstairs and getting under the covers before once again running his fingers through Amanda's hair.
"You're really shook up, Mandy… I think we need to cut back on the horror movies for a bit." Finn said as his right hand now rested on her back.
"Yeah… we should." Amanda whispered as she moved closer to Finn and his arms wrapped around her shaking body.
Amanda would figure out who Natasha was when she could think clearly again.
