Chapter XVI

Silence. That's what Mia heard. No sign of James, just an empty long room with high roof filled with mirrors and columns. The moon light shined through the high windows into the room. At least there is some light in this darkness.

Mia stepped forwards. She walked straight and shadowing the fear in her eyes with brave look. Her footsteps were silent and light, her breath was controlled and slow. But her heartbeat gave her calm approach a different story of how she felt at that moment.

Into what am I walking to? Death…? This wasn't a clever idea, and Mia knew. Coming here all alone, a light witch that she is could only harm him and not do much damage. Killing him wasn't an option; she has no intention to become a dark witch.

A laugh was heard from behind her. Not wanting to gasp and give him that satisfaction, Mia turned around slowly. He stood there, bare foot as ever, looking at her with amused face. Wish I could just rip of that pale face of his!

"You witches are very brave and stubborn." James commented.

"I would rather say we are bold." Mia said back, her voice not showing the fear she felt while he made his way slowly to her.

"Edward will be very disappointed in you for leaving without saying anything." James said now one step away from her. "To bad you won't be able to apologize."

"You think?" Mia raised her eyebrow. "They will figure it out and they will come here, and kill you."

"Oh, because you are too afraid to do it yourself?" James provoked her.

"I'm not afraid." Mia answered. "I just don't want to taint my heart with a low-life vampire like you!"

Anger was visual on James's face. James's red eyes wide as he was suddenly and unexpectedly pushed by an unseen force back into the air until his back collide with the wall. He landed down on the ground and looked at her with rage in his eyes.

In one swift moment, James was standing in front of Mia. Didn't saw that coming… His hand wrapped around her throat, making her choke for a short moment until she found herself sliding down on the ground. The back of her head ached more than her back did as she collide with the column. She draws her hand back, feeling something wet and warm touch her fingers. Blood.

"Quite a tongue you've got there for an innocent looking girl like you." James said as he crouched next to her and grabbed her by her wrist where blood was on her hand. "Too bad Edward didn't turn you, instead he kept you this fragile little witch."

"I'm not fragile." Mia said through her teeth, taking her hand out of his grasp, harshly.

Mirrors all around them broke into pieces. James's eyes wide as he looked around and saw all the pieces were aimed at him. He again, found himself pushed in the air away from her. His back collide with the wall and all the mirror shards pierced his hands and legs against the wall to keep him from moving.

Mia managed to get up on her feet. She watched as James groaned in pain before he fell down on the ground. He started to take out the shattered pieces of mirror out of his stoned skin, looking up at Mia in anger. He wanted her dead.

"I'm going to make you suffer."

James appeared in front of her, grabbing her for her throat harshly. Mia gasped in pain and shock. He was holding her off the ground, chocking her. Mia looked at him, anger in his eyes. What have you got yourself into Mia? Mia wondered.

She felt so weak and just wanted to sleep. She fought against the tiredness inside her and loss of breath. Her hands gripped against is arm, finding her powers deep inside her. There you are… James suddenly screamed in back and let her go of her throat.

His hands caught on fire. Mia looked at him, fighting herself to get all the power she had left and use it on him. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly, James's body was caught in fire. James screamed and stirred to get the fire off of him, but Mia didn't let him.

The fire burned strong and bright. She wasn't aware she was killing him, until his body turned into dust. Burned jacket and jeans fell on the ground with black dust among it. Mia's eyes soften and she gasped in shock. What have I done?

"Well done, Mia."

Mia looked up above the dust. It was Mia, with dark blue eyes, wicked smirk playing on her red lips. I killed. Mia through inside herself. I killed. She repeated over and over again. Never did she ever want to be neither close to darkness and this is what happened.

Mia's eyes started to close, she couldn't keep awake anymore. The powers tired her so much that she could barely feel her body. She lost strength in her legs and soon, her entire body collide with the ground. The darkness covering her vision.
