Chapter Sixteen: The Final Battle: Mind, Body, and Heart.
Sarah felt woozy but she just had to help. She attempted to stand but just fell back down. It was useless, she was helpless. She looked up at Jareth and smiled.
"Go help her, Jareth. I'll be fine," she said before passing out.
Meanwhile, Celeste was on her feet and in a fighting stance. "Ready when you are."
"As you wish," he lunged and a loud hiss came from the clashing of their swords.
She saw out of the corner of her eye that Jareth was getting up, mentally- a power which came from the soul not from the heritage- she called to Jareth "Don't, this is my fight. Take care of Sarah."
He looked doubtful then obeyed. Celeste set her mind back to the fight. Gabriel was more skilled than Gavinn since she had trained him at one time. Slashes just missed either body, each step practiced, each swipe planned. He used his strength to push her to the floor but a noise distracted them.
**CRACK**
The amulet that had held Celeste's strength broke open, and her physical energy slowly entered her body. While Gabriel was distracted, Celeste used her newfound strength to push him off, rolling to her feet.
"Rule 1, never get distracted," she stated calmly.
She blocked another blow, and delivered one hard kick to his chest. He stumbled back.
"Rule 2, never overestimate yourself," she recited, swiping his sword arm.
He managed to swipe her right shoulder, the entire sleeve rolling down to her wrist, quickly switching her sword to her left hand, she wriggled off her sleeve.
"Rule 3, never underestimate your enemy," she said, knowing her left hand was better than her right. She lunged, blocked, blocked, lunged, and suddenly they lunged at the same time. The swords crashed together, each person trying to get the upper hand. Gabriel was heavier than Celeste, but now Celeste was stronger than Gabriel was.
"Rule 4," Gabriel sneered as he pulled a dagger out of no where, plunging it into the soft spot below her right ribs. "Cheat."
Celeste's eyes grew wide in shock and pain. Somehow, she managed to swipe his sword out of his hand, putting it into her own. She threw his sword up so it got stuck in the ceiling. He looked up and Celeste rammed her sword into his chest. "Rule 5," she gasped. "Good guys always win."
They both fell to their knees and slumped into each other. Blood dripped out of both of their mouths, both gasping in pain. Slowly, Celeste smoothed his hair back and kissed his forehead. "Goodbye Gabriel," she smiled at him. Quickly she twisted the sword burrowed into his chest, causing his body to spasm and his already dead heart to stop.
"Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of demons sing thee to thy rest," she mumbled as he collapsed onto her. She fell back, unconscious before she even hit the floor.
