Hi to all nice readers! Thank you for all the reviews, they were really encouraing! So, this is my first fight-scene, so don't be too angry wiht me if it not so good! But I'm hoping you'll like it!

Agnes sprang up from her chair immediately, dropped her book and quickly buckled her leather belt on. She looked strange with the belt loaded with weapons upon her light nightgown. She burst the door open, and ran to the neighbouring room, from where the screams of Elizabeth and Julia could be heard. Agnes opened the door and rushed inside. The sight was stunning: Elizabeth was standing on top of her bed screaming and throwing pillows at the demon that was approaching her. Julia was trying to hide behind a bookshelf, throwing books at the other demon that was getting closer to her. The third devilish creature was standing before the empty window-frames, eyeing the other two. The floor was covered in chips of broken glass, most of the windows had completely been destroyed, and the cold night wind was blowing in.

„ What the...?" ran through Agnes' mind. It was then that Elizabeth noticed her sister

„ Agnes, please help!" she screamed.

„ Well, they're just figures on the chessboard!" Agnes thought „ Kill them before they kill us!" She quickly drew her dagger, and threw it towards the demon standing by the window, pinning one of its leathery wings to the window-frame. The demon gave a loud shriek, rather in anger than in pain. It pulled the dagger out from the wooden frame.

„ Well, what do you know? Look what we have here!" it said, and looked at Agnes evilly.

„ Great, these can even talk!" Agnes thought.

„ I never thought this would be so much fun!" The demon gave a smirk, and threw the dagger back towards its owner. Agnes just managed to duck before getting hit, and drew her sword but she wasn't fast enough. Only moments later she could feel the tight grasp of the demon around her neck, holding her with one of its hands up in the air and against the wall. It used its other huge hand to grab Agnes' smaller hand and whip it against the wall, until she dropped her sword. Agnes was losing breath, she knew that she had the knife, which she got from Lady Leila left, but she also knew that the demon would probably knock that out from her hand as well. She tired to think of another solution. The demon was tightening its grasp around her neck, almost blocking the air form her completely, while looking into her eyes, and smiling evilly. With her final strength Agnes lifted her feet, and kicked the demon on its chest. The first kick made it loosen the grasp, the second made it fly to the other end of the room. Agnes was rubbing her throat and coughing heavily after getting up from the floor. She looked at her sister and Julia; the demons were getting closer and closer to them.

„ This is not good!" she thought. Elizabeth and Julia were screaming as loud as they could, it didn't help much though. Agnes drew her knife and moved closer to the demon lying on the floor. But then again she wasn't careful enough: the demon suddenly sprang up, and flung itself against Agnes. They demon's dash made them slide a bit after landing on the floor, with Agnes under the demon's body. She gave a loud scream as the chips of glass tore her nightgown, and scraped the skin on her back. The creature of Hell gave a loud laugh, upon seeing Agnes' pain. It lifted its body from upon Agnes, but she could still feel its stinky breath upon her face, and see all the sharp teeth in its mouth. It looked at Agnes closer, and noticed her beautiful necklace and gem. He grabbed it, tore it off from her neck, and threw it to the demon that had cornered Elizabeth.

„ This will be fine for the masters new bride!" The latter caught it, and nodded.

Suddenly they could hear the third demon talking. It was standing before Julia, who had her back against one of the bookshelves side, and couldn't move an inch of right. The demon was smiling at her menacingly, revealing its sharp fangs.

„ Look at this foolish mortal!" it said, and looked at his companions. They all started laughing, the other one had already managed to catch Elizabeth, and was now holding her by the shoulders, in front of itself „ It looks like she froze!" went the demon on, and turned back to Julia, laughing loudly in an infernal tone.

„ We'll have her killed first, than comes that naughty little kicker, and you get to watch it!" said the demon, which was holding Elizabeth. Elizabeth burst out crying and screaming.

„ No!! Agnes, Julia!!" she tried to escape the demons grasp, but it was holding her tight. By that time Agnes was boiling with fury under the demon, which was eyeing how the other is trying to scare Julia to death. She could hear her sister's scream, and than the pictures of the night of Aziz's death played in front of her eyes again.

„ I will never let that happen again! I have to protect them at any cost!" she thought, and looked around for any possibilities to escape. She could spot her knife a few meters away; it fell there as she dropped it after being pinned to the floor. The demon was holding her hands down, but she had an advantage: it wasn't paying attention to her. As soon as the demon turned back its head to face Agnes again, she knocked her forehead hard to the demons elonged nose. The momentarily distraction of the demon gave Agnes the chance to roll out from under it, and grab her knife. She got up from the floor in an instance, got behind the demon, which had just stood up, and buried the blade deep into its throat. The black blood of the demon started squirting immediately, and it fell onto its knees rattling, while drowning of its own blood.

„ Thank goodness, they're mortals!" ran through Agnes' mind, and looked in Julia's direction. The demon threatening Julia had its back towards Agnes, and was so preoccupied with its victim, it didn't even notice the events. Agnes rushed up to the demon's side, keeping an eye on the other devilish creature, which was trying to keep the writhing Elizabeth in its grasp. It was only then that the demon in front of Julia noticed her. It snarled upon seeing Agnes, but it was also stunned by her cold gaze. This time Agnes was faster, and as the demon was trying to attack her, she stabbed her knife into the demon's stomach and as it stooped, into its back several times. Its black blood shot out upon Agnes nightgown, and on the wall next to Julia. Then Agnes turned on her heels as the demon holding Elizabeth gave a loud and ear-spitting shriek, and tried to fly out the window taking the girl with it. Agnes' reaction was quick: she flung her knife towards the back of the demon. It lodged into its back, where its wings originated.

„ You're not going anywhere!" she shouted, than found her sword on the floor and rushed to the last of the demons, which had rapidly recovered itself from the floor, and was by the left edge of the bed trying to get hold over Elizabeth. It had straightened its back while holding the girl in front of her again, when Agnes placed the blade of her sword against its throat above her sister's head.

„ Let her go, or I'll send you to Hell after the others!" said Agnes in a cold voice. The demon rolled its eyes nervously for a while, then gave smirk, and tossed Elizabeth to Agnes.

„ You can have her if she' that precious to you!" it said, gave a shriek, and quickly flew out between the window-frames. It couldn't use one of its wings properly, with Agnes' knife still in its back, but it was sill a frightening sight as it flew in front of the face of the full Moon. Elizabeth buried her head in Agnes' shoulder while sobbing very hard, while Agnes was still holding out her sword in the direction where the demon had been. Suddenly the door burst open, and in rushed Ferenc, Marton, Richard and Imre. Agnes was frightened and turned in their direction, still holding her sword out, almost spearing Ferenc with it. The four men looked around in horror. The room was like a battlefield; two corpses of the demons lay at two distinct spots of the room, the floor covered in chips of glass and stained with black blood. Agnes let go of Elizabeth, and Ferenc embraced her, trying to calm his fiancé down. Luckily, Julia wasn't hurt either, and Imre was trying to comfort her, and wake her up from the shock. Agnes looked horrible: her sword and the front of her nightgown were black with the blood of the demons, while the torn back of her gown was slowly turning red with her own blood. She had a hump on her forehead, and several cuts on her arms and feet as well. Richard immediately got sick upon seeing all the blood, turned pale, and went back to his own room. All were looking at the corpses of the demons, as those turned to black dust in front of their eyes. Ferenc turned to Agnes.

„ What happened here? What were those creatures?"

„It looks like I have slaughtered two demons in cold blood. I let the third escape. They were demons, I guess." replied Agnes with a pale face, still standing by the edge of the bed.

„ Why didn't you call for help?" asked Ferenc

„ Had we done that, my sister would be somewhere else, and Julia would be dead. Once I swore that I would never let anyone hurt those whom I love. And I have no intention of renege." she said quietly. Agnes dropped her sword after a while, and prodded her chest nervously.

„ Damn, it took my necklace!" she said, as tears dwelled up in her eyes „ It descended down to me from my grandmother! Damn it!" She was feeling exhausted and weak now, and pain started taking over her gradually.

„ What do you mean Elizabeth were somewhere else?" Ferenc asked, then noticed the growing pool of blood by Agnes' feet.

„ I need Marton." said Agnes The young boy stepped forth and was looking at Agnes with desperate eyes.

„ Marton, do you have any equipment for a little doctor's work here?"

„ Yes Miss, I do, but I'm not a real doctor yet, you know. I think we should.." Agnes interrupted in a fading voice.

„ Help me please.." she fainted of the pain, and collapsed upon Elizabeth's bed. Marton rushed to her as she was lying on the bed with her face down, and spotted the chips of glass in her bleeding back right away.

„ I have to remove these quickly! There's no time to call a doctor now! Help me Ferenc!"

Ferenc let Elizabeth go, and carried Agnes to her room, while Marton rushed downstairs for his equipment.

Huh, (rub sweat off forehead)what do you think? Was it very-very bad? Review please! I would greatly appreciate it! And I know that he has no role in this chapter, but I made a drawing of Agnes' horse, Midnight, which is said to be beautiful, so those who would like to see it, feel free to email me, or give your request in your review, and I'll send it to you with pleasure!
