The monster dropped her sword and fell to the ground shaking and hugging her torso, her face began to return to that of the warrior she was, and then snapped back into monstrous purple features.
"I.. I can't go back." she said tears streaming down her distorted face
"Please, help me."
"Please! I don't want to be a Yoma." she cried in a horse inhuman voice looking a Teresa with pleading eyes. Clare watched the exchange from some distance away barely able to make out their voices, her small body hiding behind a large rock. Teresa looked at the former warrior with sad eyes and said
"I'm sorry, but I can't help you. All I can do for you is cut off your head before the change is complete."
Surprise rang though Clare and stared at the scene with wide eyes, the monster looked equally as surprised then lowered her head in acceptance of her fate and more tears rolls down her face
"Please. Go on. Do it. While I still have a shred of my humanity."
"Alright then. I will put you out of your misery." Teresa said with the same sad compassionate eyes Teresa drew her sword up to strike her down. Teresa's hands disconnect from her body, surprise registered on her face as her blade hit the ground. The monster rose from its spot on the ground and dashed forward with lightning speed and Teresa, beautiful, powerful, amazing Teresa of the faint smile's head fell from her body.
Clare watched from her spot from behind the rock, eyes glued to Teresa as her shining gold hair fell in to the mud and her body collapsed on the ground. The monster lets out a great screech, wings sprouted from its back and a great horn grew out of its forehead, an explosion echoed through the air and a shock wave rippled though the clearing. The smoke blew away and a figure emerged.
"So, there was no reason to hold back."
"It feels incredible" the being stated in a chillingly calm voice, a shudder passed though Clare's body terror gripping her like a vice paralyzing her to stillness.
"She's a monster." a shaking voice from behind her stated.
"Mmm. I'm hungry for entrails." It said in a menacing ethereal voice that is clearly not human. A fear that she had never know claimed her body and she shook. Clare could do nothing but stare at the beast that was about to rip her open. The being stepped forward its long purple leg covering a great distance, the power resonating off is so strong that even Clare; a human, can feel it. It continued forward speaking in a care free manner.
"While they still live, burry my face in their blood soaked bowels, I'll cut open their stomachs and eat my fill. I'll lap up every drop of blood, devour every ounce of flesh and savour every organ." Clare waited for the creature to come and fulfill it's promises as it nears she watched, tears of fear trickle down her face, it was close enough to smell, it flew past her and engaged the warriors behind her. One of the warriors was able to wound it, but the severed limb reattached it's self in an instant and the creature cut all three of them down with one hand.
"All this work has made me hungry. Well then, so long." it approached her shivering form impassively not even looking at her, like it hadn't even noticed her and simply walked right past and took flight on its new wings.
Termers ran though her small body and shock was plastered on her face, tears rolled down her cheeks as her entire world crumbled around her. Teresa, her lovely wonderful Teresa was lying on the ground her head no longer attached to her body. Sobs wracked her body as she reaches for the remnants of her entire life, she clutched her head and stroked her hair sobbing in anguish. Clare sat crying holding Teresa as she screamed at the open hole that was her heart. Her thoughts went to the golden haired woman. She was sad when I first saw her, so sad, she looked as if she would die of loneliness, she pushed me away at first, she didn't know what I was trying to do so I had to show her, that she could have someone too, that she didn't have to be alone anymore, that she didn't have to be as sad as I was. Then she wasn't so sad anymore her smile was finally a happy one.
Clare cried eve harder as she thought, she was never going to see Teresa again there was nothing left to her in this world, her life with her parents had been destroyed, by a yoma. She was captured and held hostage for months by a yoma. Then Teresa came, she was finally happy and now her happiness is taken from her by a yoma, she thought as more tears stream down her face. No, not a yoma. That thing, the one horned monster, that beast, that creature, it was sent to kill her. Her name is Priscilla. Priscilla did this, she killed Teresa! Killed her right in front of her and she couldn't- didn't do anything to stop her. That monster is free walking around after she killed Teresa, No she will not continue breathing. She will pay for what she's done, and I will be the one to make her pay. She rose to her feet, tears no longer leaking from her eyes, the head of Teresa of the faint smile clutched in her small arms, her knees shaking not with fear, but with rage. Determination flowing through her veins she started walking towards town.
