Abbie didnt know what Raul held. But she knew that it was sharp and metal. And soon it was cutting into her skin.

She didnt hear Joseph scream her name. There was only mind-blowing pain. She focused on it.

She would not let him win.

Joseph watched in horror as Kenneth fainted because of pain and the blood loss.

He watched in horror as the three pronged knife was pushed into Abbie's backside.

Tony was still staring at his knife. His face white. Rebeka had stopped screaming and was bleeding heavily while taking shallow breaths. The cutting had stopped now that Raul wasnt focused on her. He knew that Raul was now focusing on Abbie now and the pain he wanted to give her. Jared had gone back to be with Beth. He couldnt let her be alone. And Sophie had joined him.

Would all that he worked for be in vain?

But suddenly...

Abbie's hand snaked around her to her backside. Raul held her close and was focusing on twisting the thing in her back. In her hand was the small dagger. She held her hand so the back of her hand was pushed again her back and the dagger facing him. She keep her mind focused on the pain. Then thrust.

Raul cursed and pulled back. Abbie pulled out the knife of her back. She winced as it came out.

"Three pronged? Thats not fair." She turned around.

He pulled the knife out of his side. "You are going to die you little Bi-"

"Swearing or calling me names will do nothing. However. I refuse to hear that word from anyone about any girl." She interrupted his speech angering him further. She smiled. "You know you should really keep your feelings in check. It could mean life or death in battle."

"Dont get so cocky, kitten." He feel back to his little nickname for her. "Its just a little stab wound. But your back...well..."He chuckled. "Thats got to hurt."

"I would like to thank you. Without stabbing me I wouldn't have been able to stab you."

"Smart move. Seems I underestimated you kitten."

"You have no idea." Abbie smirked. She held the three-pronged knife, ready to begin to fight again.

Raul had put his swords back to being one sword and held that in one had and her knife in the other.

"Lets go." Abbie made the first move and soon the area was filled with the sound of clashing blades.

Joseph turned his attention back to Kenneth. Abbie could hold her own. He wasnt worried about her. But Kenneth was bleeding badly and his wound needed to be taken care of. He ripped his shirt in order to makeshift a bandage for the wound. Pressing tightly against the wound he half lifted Kenneth to get the wrap under him and then wrapped it around to the front. Tying it tight he sighed with relief when he noticed that the blood flow lessoned a bit. But it was still a bad wound and he keep the pressure going. He really hoped that Tony would break out of his fonk so that Tony would do something. But unless Abbie was going to be killed there was no way he was going to move.

For the next hour Abbie and Raul fought head on. She never let him get as close to her as he did before. the wound on her back hurt and blood followed all her movements. He had wanted it to hurt as long as possible, therefore slowly moving the blades in and luckily she had been able to stab him before he got in to deep and the wound turned serious.

But even she knew that she was reaching her limit. And she knew that Raul was not in any way losing energy. It was like he could go on forever. She narrowed her eyes as she thought about it. He probably gave himself a spell for that one. Gosh she wished Tony would get out of his fonk and do something. Anything. She turned and looked to where Tony had been standing. But he had moved. He wasnt there anymore. He was gone. Where the hell did he go?

Raul was smiling to himself. He could tell that Abbie was tiring. That wound was giving her some real trouble. He didnt get it deep enough though. This thing was supposed to be done a long time ago. Rebeka was knocked out because of blood loss but there wasnt enough. He did even know she might still be alive...which means that he needed another.

Suddenly someone was behind him. He turned around but not quick enough...

Tony had suddenly felt something stir beneath him. Rebeka's scream had ended. Kenneth lay bleeding to death also. Joseph was trying to stop the bleeding. Abbie was wounded and slowly fading in energy. Beth had also gone quiet and who knows how the hell she was doing. He needed to do something. He needed to get over whatever he was feeling. He stared at the knife in his hand. It was sharp all it needed was a little pushed and then the thing that was fighting Abbie would be dead. He suddenly smiled. He would do this. That thing would die. And he would marry Sophie and have lots of children with her and have a happy ending.

That was all the push he needed. With speed he didnt know that he really had he rushed toward Raul, who luckily was facing in the other direction. He noticed him start to spin around but it didnt register. He pulled his arm back with the knife and lunged. He felt it hit bone. He saw the startled expression on Raul face. And then all went blank.

Almost done! Wow! hard to believe that this story is almost ending! hope everyone enjoyed this next chapter! Peace out!
