Really short but action packed chapter! Let me know what you think!!!
"Didn't I kill you like thirty years ago?" Caleb groaned, rolling his eyes, his grip on Raven's neck still strong.
"Killed me just as effectively as Livvie killed you, huh?" Rafe shot back. He stepped forward, making eye contact with his daughter. This simple maneuver was able to break Caleb's harness on her. She struggled under his grasp, but he tightened his hold, and she started to gasp for breath.
Rafe fixed his gaze on Caleb, trying to force him away from her. Two could play this game. Caleb pushed back, and in doing this, loosened his grip on Raven.
Raven snuck silently off the bed, never taking her eyes off the face off of good and evil going on in front of them. She then used her first real slayer skill since kicking down the door the previous night. She communicated to her father without speaking - DUCK.
Rafe received the work from Raven, and fell to his knees. Caleb stumbled, woozy from exhausting his powers and confused by what Rafe was doing . He didn't get to think twice before Raven put her black boot heel into his right temple, knocking him to the ground. She then flipped him over by the shoulder, and sat on his chest, pinning him to the floor. Poised in her hand that was raised over her head was a splintered piece of door.
"Wanna know why it didn't work when Livvie killed you?" she asked, her voice high and determined with breathlessness and venom.
Caleb could only wheeze beneath her, rolling his head from side to side. "Because she wasn't a slayer," Raven said seconds before driving the makeshift stake into Caleb's heart. Caleb took two final breaths, and then went limp. Raven stood up cautiously, victorious. She spat on Caleb's black leather body, and scowled.
"And I didn't even need a silver bullet," she said. Then she turned to her father, who was grinning in the corner.
"Looks like you didn't need me, either. Pretty impressive, Angel," he said proudly. Raven threw her arms around him, and they hugged tightly. They turned to see Caleb's body vanish into thin air. "I couldn't have done this without you. He would've turned me if you wouldn't have come," Raven said, realizing how close she'd come. She hugged her father again. Even though she'd never actually met him in the flesh, she felt as if she'd seen him every day of her life.
"You're an incredible slayer, sweetheart," Rafe said, sounding like any father would after his child won a sports tournament or a spelling bee.
Raven and Rafe smiled matching smiles at each other. "Yeah, well, it's in my genes."
