Lupus – A CoAD Fanfic
Chapter 14 – Kadra Dies!
Renn watched as Aki fell to the floor. She couldn't count his cuts but she knew he was already dead. She shed a tear.
"Torak! Wake up! Please!" she shook him hard. His eyes began to flicker. "Torak! Aki's dead, come on get up!"
Eostra and Kadra looked at the two.
"Heh. He's pathetic, eh, Eostra? I didn't even cut him that deeply!"
"Indeed." she replied, coarsely. Kadra cackled in agreement, them moved towards them. Torak was now fully awake, but could barely see, so Renn got her knife out and charged towards Eostra.
*
Lupus was still tied down to the stone table, a dozen paces away from the action. He wriggled and squirmed but the bindings held tight. Then he had a brainwave. He didn't think they could see him, so maybe...?
*
Kadra leapt at Renn knocking her aside.
"Pathetic!" he cackled once more.
"Ignore her, Kadra. We want him." she pointed towards Torak and the two began to move towards him.
"Don't ignore me!" Renn muttered. She rose, ran towards Kadra and grabbed his neck and forced the knife into his back.
Kadra spat. "That's useless, girl! I can just -" he paused. "Wait!? Where is it!? Where's my amulet!?" Renn smiled and held up the amulet he'd worn round his neck to shape-shift.
"Looks like I guessed right!" she grinned. Kadra collapsed in her arms. "What do you think of that Eostra!?" she laughed.
Eostra just stared. "He was useless. Just a tool. I don't need him anymore."
"What?"
"As I said. Just a tool."
*
In wolf form, Lupus snapped free of the ropes binding him to the ground. He grinned, morphing back to human form and ran towards the fray.
*
Torak got up. His vision was still slightly blurred, but he had heard everything. He sheathed his knife and shouted: "Eostra! If you want me come and get me!"
Eostra turned towards him. She smiled, then clicked her fingers. Kadra rose.
"What!? I killed him! I got rid of the amulet!" Renn cried.
"I already told you, girl. I brought him back from the dead once. I'll do it again."
*
Renn: No fair!!!
Torak: Eostra, that's just cheap and unoriginal!
Eostra: Shut up! This whole fanfic is cheap and unoriginal!
Lupus: Hey! Shut up yourself or I'll kill you off quicker!
Eostra: Eh? I die? NOOOOOOO! WHY DON'T I EVER WIN!?!?!?
