WITCH BLADERS

CHAPTER TWENTY: LUNA'S FREEDOM

Trista was to battle the next day Thorn had decided to battle her; Midnight sat down next to Ray and Dusk and watched her sister enter the arena eagerly.

Will she be okay? She asked

Don't worry your sister can hold her own she'll win she's got Orrin. Dusk reassured

Thorn took a deep cleansing breath.

Trista stepped into the arena.

It's Luna! Max exclaimed

What's Luna doing fighting Thorn they're meant to be sisters. Ray asked

No something's happened that isn't Luna anymore. Dusk said firmly looking at the girl wearing a full-length black coat that touched the floor with black hot pants and white top; her black boots came to her thighs.

What's happened to her? Tyson said looking at the figure with charcoal hair and white highlights

I think I know who that is Dusk said threateningly

Who? Ray asked

You see Luna's mother was a druid priestess sweet, innocent and kind but her father was cruel and bitter, and because of this Luna has an alter ego who is every much cruel and twisted as her father was she calls herself Trista. She explained angrily

That's why Thorn wanted to battle so badly. Midnight said

Exactly she's going to bring our sister back. Dusk said

Thorn looked into Trista's brown eyes.

What are you staring at? She spat

My sister who is locked inside you somewhere Thorn answered

They began to blade.

Kael destroy. She ordered

A gigantic three-headed dog appeared

Now it begins just watch the real power of her bit beast in action. Dusk said

Look at that Ray said

Orrin Blue Fire Thorn commanded

The blades began tearing up the dish; Trista's blade cut Thorn's arm blood began to trickle out of her wound.

Thorn wiped some of it away and looked at it on her hand.

What is she doing? Ray said

She's going to free Luna. Dusk said

Why battle her when I can just get her to fight me. Thorn thought

Both bladers called for their blades and put them away.

Ever seen Thorn fight? Dune asked

I have she's awesome. Tyson said excitedly

Tyson this isn't a game anymore one slip up and she could end up hurt. Kai snarled

You haven't seen anything yet Tyson that girl knows more forms of martial art than you've had hot dinners. Dune said

I find that hard to believe. He replied

Thorn took off her cloak revealing her white tank top and black jeans; she took out two black strips off cloth and began to wrap them around her hands slowly.

She then stepped into the ring and they began to fight.

Trista went to kick her but she did a back flip both fighters began to give each other blows to the face and body in mid-air.

Now I'm sure I've seen this in a movie. Max said

Thorn ran at Trista and somersaulted over her taking out her sharp hair stick while she was spinning; she clutched it when she landed.

Always relying on something to save you. Trista snarled; she then went to punch her but Thorn cut Trista's arm.

Trista clutched her wound for a moment giving Thorn enough time to do the sweep and trip her up; Trista fell to the floor a little knocked out; before she could get up Thorn took her arm and let the blood from her wound trickle into Trista's the blood mixed together.

Thorn fell to her knees exhausted and breathing heavily, everyone watched in amazement as Trista's body began to glow, her charcoal hair became a familiar pure white.

Luna's free. Dune said excitedly

Knew she could do it. Dusk said satisfied

Luna opened her eyes slowly as if waking up from sleep.

Good to see you again. Thorn smiled

Knew you would save me. Luna croaked

Of course we made a promise to die together and now isn't the time. She replied throwing her arms around Luna.

I love you Thorn she said tearfully

I love you too. She replied holding her tightly

Thorn scowled at Dantes.

I'll be seeing you sooner than you think. She thought narrowing her eyes at him.

I'm waiting for you Thorn let's see if you really are the Goddess. Dantes thought
