Chapter 31: Death
Dilandra's eyes opened weakly. She looked around the room she was in confused. What? Where am I? Was all she could wonder. She struggled to sit up right. On the dresser to her right, against the wall was her armoured jacket. Instinctively she went to grab her sword but noticed it was missing. Panic rose inside of her when she realized she had been caught by the enemy. She fell back onto the pillows. Great, just great! How the fuck did I let this happen?!?
Dilandra laid on the bed in wonder. Outside of the room she could hear voices of men yelling and running about. She found a bit of hope. She prayed that her mother was on her way. The screams and desperate pleas of men could now be heard. Then a clicking sound came from the door and it swung open. She sat up right and was smiling happily. She came!
Setsuna hurried towards her daughter and embraced her. "I'm so sorry Dilandra. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you." Dilandra hugged her mother even tighter. Their loving reunion however was short lived.
The feeling of cold steel against Setsuna's cheek caused her to break the hug. She turned around slowly and wasn't surprised to see who the holder of the sword was. "What the fuck do you want Allen?" she growled.
"Oh I think you know what I want." he said rather slyly. Setsuna rolled her eyes. He just doesn't give up.
"Allen, I don't want to be your slut! And I should kill you for what you did to me! How dare you, of all people you, take advantage of a barely conscious women!" he laughed at her. he enjoyed seeing her angry. Her anger only increased his passion and lust for her.
"Setsuna, I offered you everything and this is how you treat me? I offered you a life of wealth and freedom-"
"Ha! Freedom! That's a good laugh! You threw me into that cell and ravished me! No you raped me! I have a much better life in Zaibach. If I had of stayed with you in the first place I would have been the same quiet teenager I was when I was younger. Never will I ever leave Zaibach!" Setsuna yelled at him. He smirked. It was true, she would have still be submissive like she use to be. It was Zaibach who freed her soul and let her be her old self once again.
Setsuna rose from the bed and drew her sword. "This time I will kill you Allen." she growled through her teeth. Both went into their fighting stances. Allen began the duel by attacking Setsuna first. Dilandra watched in awe as her mother fought gracefully.
Why am I not fighting to my full potential? I know I could easily beat him but why I can't I use my power? Setsuna blocked another of his attacks. Ever since I went back to Zaibach I haven't been as strong as I use to be. She glanced at her daughter who sat on the bed in a trance like state. Could it be? Has my ability to fight like I use gone from me and to her? She did fight rather well for her first time holding a sword when we duelling.
Setsuna's thought's distracted her and she soon found herself unarmed and against the wall with Allen's sword against her throat. He smiled that smile of his. "I win." he whispered to her as he leaned forward to take control of her mouth.
"I don't think so." he turned around to see Dilandra standing in her fighting stance holding her mother's sword. Fear griped him. He remembered clearly what happened their last fight. He swallowed his fear and prepared to duel her. She watched him closely.
Once he was in a stance Dilandra attacked ruthlessly. She fought him like a wild animal that had been caged for many years. The force she put into ever blow almost knocked him down. Setsuna watched her daughter feeling proud. Oh if Dilandau was here he would be so proud of her. Dilandra jumped when he tried to trip her with his leg.
"Nice try blondie!" she shouted as she drove her sword down for her attack. He blocked it unfortunately for both Dilandra and Setsuna. Dilandra was beginning to feel frustrated when he wouldn't die. She let out a scream of pure anger. "Why won't you fucking die!!!" Setsuna was surprised by her daughter's comment.
"You want to know why? I'm surprised you haven't figured it out." he attacked with his sword again. "It's because you are a women and women are weak!" his comment enraged both mother and daughter. Dilandra felt the steel of his sword scrape against her bare right arm.
Dilandra looked at the wound then back at Allen. She narrowed her eyes and attacked with all her might. Her attack was so strong that it actually knocked Allen to the ground. She then drove the sword deep into her chest. Setsuna's eyes widened in shock. Dilandra removed her hands from the hilt of the sword and moved away from the lifeless body on the ground. She gasped in fear.
Setsuna embraced her daughter. "It's alright Dilandra." her voice was reassuring and comforting. She walked over the dead body of Allen and took out her sword and sheathed it in its sheath. Dilandra grabbed her jacket and put it on. When she caught sight of the dead body she felt sick and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Come on, let's go." Setsuna said as she moved towards the door. Dilandra nodded and followed her mother while trying to ignore the dead body.
A/N: Well I did it! I killed Allen! *Jumps around and does happy dance* Okay, I feel much better! I killed Allen! YAY!!!! I know I gonna get flamed for this but I don't give a rats ass!
