Title: A Caress of Flame Part II
Author: Courtney, although the original 'A Caress of Flame' was by none other than Aslyin.
~Chapter Seventeen~
"You dare to challenge me, you pathetic excuse of a person?" Selene asked. "I do," Emma answered as a layer of diamond formed over her skin. "I hope you realize what you're doing, child," Selene hissed as she made her way towards Selene. "Oh, I know exactly what I'm doing," Emma said as she took the first moved and punched Selene in the face with her diamond covered fist. Selene looked up and glared at her, wiping the blood from her nose.
Selene lunged at her, dropping down the Emma's legs out from underneath her. She missed when Emma jumped up and flipped backwards. "Getting a bit too old to be doing this kind of thing, don't you think?" Emma asked with a confident smirk.
"You're gonna wish that you had never said that to me," Selene growled as she succeeded in drop kicking Emma. She landed on the ground but was not harmed due to the diamond. She was about to rise when Selene held her down. Emma struggled to get away from the woman's grasp but found it impossible. She suddenly felt smooth hands on her face, then she felt the oddest sensation that she had ever felt. It felt as if she was growing older by the second, as if she had gone from seventeen years old to fifty. She cried out as she felt the last of her life escape her body and enter the Black Queen's.
As soon as Emma fell to the floor dead her diamond armor receded as well as he telekinetic hold on the rest of the occupants in the room.
As they all broke free Selene rushed towards Amara with new found speed and placed her hands on the girls face. Before her eyes, the girl's face began to change, to age. Betsy rushed towards the priestess as she formed a psi katana. The blade was a centimeter away from her targets head when all of a sudden, it stopped.
Betsy turned her head as much as possible and saw Tessa with her hands outstretched.
"Tessa, what are you doing, stop this!" Betsy yelled and pleaded at the same time. "My allegiance is to Shaw and the Hellfire Club, you were all fools to think otherwise," Tessa responded with no emotion.
Selene turned away from her second victim and smiled at Betsy. Betsy looked towards Amara and started to cry as she tried to move. "Oh don't worry Elizabeth dear, she's not dead, just aged," Selene said as she moved closer to Betsy. I'll leave it to you to kill her," she replied to her own statement. Betsy's face became confused until she felt Tessa forcing her limbs to move. Her hands moved around Amara's neck, cutting off the girl's supply of air. "No!" Betsy cried out as she tried to move away.
She looked around for help but found everyone else occupied trying to save themselves from what appeared to be unknown mutants.
She realized that Amara had stopped breathing and felt Tessa release her hold on her. She started to cry as she looked at her aged, dead friend. She suddenly became so filled with rage that she screamed, sending out an enormous blast of psychic energy at the same time.
After she had finished she looked around to find everyone in the room unconscious. She looked down at Selene and drew out her actual Katana. "This is for Amara," she said as she stabbed her in the gut. "And this is for Emma," she said as she stabbed her through the heart.
She walked over to the unconscious body of Tessa and frowned. "And this is for me," she declared as she slit the girl's throat.
She left the building, leaving her friends to wake up on their own account. She shed her last tears as she headed for her home to pack some clothes and leave this place for somewhere far, far away.
TBC.
A/N: Okay, cliff hanger.kinda. Next chapter we find out if all the people that we were killed we actually killed or not and we find out John's reaction to the fate of Amara. I apologize for taking so long to update but I've been really busy with school and my dad just recently had to go the hospital and it turns out that he has cancer in his kidney and an abnormality in his blood so I've been a bit stressed lately and in no condition to do any writing. Hope you like this chapter and I'd just like to inform all of you of two things, one) Aslyin has reposted A Caress of Flame so if you wanna read the first part of this then go look her up and read it, two) next chapter shall be the last. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be doing a 'Caress of Flame Part Three' anytime soon or not.
Luv ya'll lots, Courtney
