Ellie POV
"Well that was easy enough," Tamashi sneered. "Finally I've killed you both, Elata and Akuryo!"
"You monster!" I shouted
Tamashi turned to me. She gave me an evil smirk that made me want to regret to call her a monster, but I don't care. She killed Elata and Akuryo. I couldn't believe she kill them. I'm on my own this time. Nico is unconscious, Elata and Akuryo are dead, and now I'm on my own. It's like I had to do things on my own after my step-mother and my half sister died and my father had been destroyed by their deathes that lead my starving for food.
"Now I just need to finish off you and the son of Hades," Tamashi said. "Then I'll have the jewel and grant my wish."
My face harden. I stood up ignoring the pain of my shoulder. "You're not getting the jewel this time Tamashi! You'll never get the jewel!"
Tamashi chuckled. "That's what Elata thinks too, but to bad that she's wrong."
I reached for my boomerang and threw it at Tamashi. I thought it was going to hit, but her then Tamashi use her water to stop the attack and threw it right back at me. I covered Nico just in case if he gets hurt. I closed my eyes so I can feel the pain of the attack, but then I heard a crash. I felt the rocks bouncing off of my face. I open my eyes and saw that the boomerang landed right next to me.
I got up and laied Nico on the ground softly. I had to make sure he's not injuryed. I have to move another pole so he can survive. Igrabbed my boomerang and changed it into an arrow. I knew this was my first and final arrow. I need to have a clear shot at Tamashi and to find a weak spot. I jumped to three poles away from Nico. I was a pole away from Tamashi. I looked at her carefully. I remember in my dream she had a snake scale on her right eye and Elata telling me about when she last saw Tamashi. It was when Elata counter Tamashi's attack. So if I counter the snake attack, then the snake can go at Tamashi's eyes and I can shoot the arrow at her. That must be it! It has to be.
"Since you think you can defeat me," Tamashi smirked. "Go ahead and try."
Tamashi snapped her fingers. Suddenly I felt a shot of pain on my neck. I screamed in agony as the pain burned in my skin. I fell on my knees as the pain weakened me. My eyes began to blur and my wound began to pour blood. I breathe rapidly. I slowly got up and glared at Tamashi. Sweat was spilling all over my forehead. I look at Elata and Akuryo's corpes. I felt seriously bad about thier deaths, but I somehow got to defeat Tamashi. Then I saw a giant diamond shard next to Akuryo. The diamond was large as an arrow.
I grabbed the diamond and shot it at Tamashi. I ran as the diamond flew over at her. Tamashi destroyed the diamond shard by turning it into dusk. Tamashi's eyes widen and tried to look for me, but I was behind her. I took out my boomerang arrow. As I got into my archer stance I concentrate at the aim of Tamashi. Suddenly Something grabbed my right wrist that cause me to break my stance. It was Tamashi's ribbon cloth. The cloth lift me up into the air. The cloth took me in front of Tamashi. We were like four feet apart from each other and a hundred feet from the pole.
"So trying to kill me, eh?" She questioned me. "Well, you and Elata failed this time. Elata would of plan somthing better unlike you! You call herself her reincarnation?"
The snake around Tamashi looked at me. It hissed and went stright at me with full speed, unlike the normal snakes. I thought it was over, but then I remember that Elata use her bow to counter Tamashi's attack. If Elata can do that then I can too. I can't let Elata, Akuryo, and Rue down, including Nico. As the snake got closer to me, I was ready.
"My name is Ellie, not anyone else!" I shouted as the pain overwhelmed me.
I slash my bow at the snake. The snake went back at Tamashi. Tamashi gasped and before she can get away, the snake got her on her right eye. She screamed in terror as the snake scale appears in her skin again. While she was in pain, I held my bow form my mouth and got out the jewel. I threw the jewel as high as I can. I use my muscles and tried to get my arrow connected to the bow. As the jewel began to fall, I concentrate on the aim of the jewel and Tamashi's eye.
When the jewel was at the right spot from Tamashi's eye, I shot my arrow. The arrow went through the jewel and went stright at Tamashi's eye. Blood squirted out of Tamashi's eye. Tamashi screamed louder than ever. Her body started to disappeared into blue dusk. I thought my arrow, along with the jewel will fall, but instead it was floating. I didn't know what's happening, but I think it's something serious. As Tamashi was disappearing, so was her cloth ribbons. I knew I was a hundred feet off the ground and I need to cut the cloth fast. I trie to use my hands, but the nots were tight as ever. So I tired to use my teeth.
I was panicing with fear. I looked at Nico and saw he was stirring a little, but not fully wakening. I let go of the cloth. I took a deep breath and faced of what's going to happen to me. Tamashi body was disappearing, but you can still see her body. The processes of her disappearing must have been slow. Tamashi use her hand to cover her wounded eye and glared at me with hatred. She smirked at me and look at her cloth ribbon that was only a few minutes away for disappearing. I knew what she was going to do, but I don't have any weapons on me.
Tamashi let go of me. I tried to grab the cloth, but it disappeared before I can grab it. As I fell from the air.
CRACK!
Nico's POV
I woke up by a wound of a crack. I got up quickly and saw Ellie and Tamashi. Tamashi was disappearing slowly, but Ellie wasn't moving. I jumped from pole to pole to get ot her. As I got to her, I saw blood from her head. I shook my head.
"No, NO!" I shouted.
I fell on my knees. Tamashi chuckled. I clenched my fists. Ellie's eyes were closed, but the buzzing of my ears were getting louder and louder. I knew this time Ellie is dying. Tears were overwhelming my eyes. It's like I'm loosing Bianca all over again, but this time it is someone who I truly love. Why hadn't I realized I love Ellie in the first place? How come I was so dense enough not to noticed? This is my fault!
"The curse worked," Tamashi said
My face harden. "What?"
"The curse I put on you after the foolish hunter died," Tamashi explained. "I use your grudges against Akuryo and the reincarnation of Elata. Your grudges cause Akuryo and Ekata's death, including the reincarnation."
I screamed in rage as I put my hands on my head as the pain of losing someone had killed me. My grudges cause this? Cause Ellie's death?
"Besides it worked well," Tamashi continued. "My plan worked."
Tears rolled over my eyes as it dropped on Ellie's face as if she was crying. Ellie's head turned. The buzzing had gotten exremely louder. She smiled at me as if it was alright, but I knew it's not. Then Ellie was glowing light blue. It was her soul. somehow her soul is coming out of her. It's not supposed to do that. I turn to Tamashi. She's gathering Ellie's soul! Why? Why, Ellie's soul?
"It's...okay...Nico," Ellie said as she reached for me.
"Don't talk," I whispered. "Don't talk."
I took her hand, put it against the ground along with my hand over her's. Whising of regreating of what I said as her eyes closed. I leaned on her and...
placed my lips over her's.
