The Outcome
Alice's POV
I stared into her cold bitter eyes as she descended from the stairs moving closer to me. I watched as she reached the ground she stopped at a good distance from me as she grinned wickedly.
"Isn't this just marvelous? Chaos, destruction, and death all around us." She smirked as I glanced back at the ice wall I created to see the destruction along with my friends staring at me in fear as I looked away from them and turned my attention back to Beria.
"I warned you of this, my dear. Because of you two of your friends have fallen . . . All because they protected you believing you could actually defeat me. You should have joined me when you had the chance." Beria spoke, but I frowned.
"You would have killed my friends either way." I replied as she grinned.
"How long will it take for you to realize that you can't win this war? How many more lives of your friends or allies will it take for you to see that your effort and struggle is pointless!?" She shouted as she used her speed and now stood face to face with me.
"How long until you realize that you are alone?" She whispered to me with a grin.
As I stared into her icy blue eyes, I felt a jolt of energy burst at me as I flung back and slid across the courtroom floors. As I tried to get up, I already saw her coming right at me in the air with her sword. I quickly rolled to the side and got up quickly and hid behind one of the columns. I held the sword tightly in my hand as I slowly turned to my right to see if she was still there. However, she wasn't there at all. Soon I whipped my head back and saw her in front of me about to strike once again, until I held the sword in front of me and blocked her attack. Now it was my turn to strike back. I used my powers and made the sword blaze again like before and pushed with all my might as Beria's sword as she screamed and flung back from the blazing blade. I quickly moved away from her and back near the ice wall. As I turned to face her again she growled in anger.
"Haven't you every heard when you play with fire you get burned!" Beria smirked.
I watched as he hand now started to create a blazing ball of fire out of thin air. She grinned to me as the fire got bigger in her hand. Soon she threw it at me and I quickly ducked dodging the first fire ball, but soon more came at me. I lifted my hands up in defense and created a shield for myself and I watched as none of the fire balls hit me. Smoke covered the room and I tried to look for Beria. Soon though without warning I saw a bolt of electricity hit me as I screamed in pain and fell to the ground. I groaned as I tried to get up, but then I saw Beria's sword to my throat. The pain from the electricity still lingered, but I felt my body trying to heal itself. I heard a laugh escape Beria's lips as she stared down at me.
"Give up?" She smirked as I glared at her.
"Never," I replied weary and her grin turned to a frown.
"Too bad," She said lifting her sword ready to strike me.
Without even thinking, I grabbed her leg and then started to burn her with my summer powers. I saw her skin burn as she screeched in pain as she drew back from me and I quickly collected myself off the ground. I saw her glaring at me and charging at me at again, but this time we actually fought hand to hand. I had to admit she was strong as nothing seemed to tire her out. The more we fought the more tired I became she had more of the upper advantage. Soon I was able to kick her right in the stomach causing her to fall back. As soon as she got up though she screamed in frustration and glared at me as I started to take deep breaths.
"Enough games, I'm ending this now!" She shouted furiously.
I saw her suddenly slowly raise her arms in the air and I noticed the potted plants lose the water in them and came to Beria. Soon I saw her turn some of the water into ice shards. Fear rose in me as there was so many pointed at me. Before I had enough time to react they came flying at me as I placed my arms up to defend myself. I felt a lot of the ice shards graze my skin leaving cuts and bruises everywhere. As she stopped throwing those I fell to the ground in pain and groan. However, her reign of terror wasn't over as I saw a giant wave of water come crashing at me. It was like a strong current as I couldn't escape the waves and I felt my back hit something hard making me yelp in pain. Soon I felt the water clear, but I felt my hands bond by the water as it froze and turned to ice. I felt so weak and tired now that I didn't have strength to melt the ice. I notice now that I was bound to the ice wall and I knew behind me, that my friends could see me and the state I was in.
"Well this is just perfect." I heard Beria grin as I slowly looked over to her, still tired and beaten as my arms were still bound above my head.
She began to slowly walk over to me in triumph as I couldn't move or even utter a word. When we were face to face I saw her grab my face to make sure I was looking directly at her as I glared. I saw her then release me and made a makeshift dagger in her hand out of ice. I felt her grazing the blade on my skin and then slashed it on my cheek leaving a line of blood as I felt it on my cheek. I watched as she smiled in satisfaction as she spoke.
"It's too bad I have to kill you now. We could have made a great team together you and I as the last Sighted Ones of our kind. However, being the only Sighted One isn't so bad either when you get to run your own kingdom." She grinned.
"I won't let that happen," I replied weary as she laughed.
"Oh yeah? You and what army? Don't you see that as long as I'm alive there will be no end to this suffering? All this chaos and destruction is all because of my doing and not even you could stop me! I'm the one with the dagger as you are bound to the wall as your friends behind you watch helplessly! Face it Alice, you are alone. No one is here to help you now. You're already down two people, let's not make this more difficult then this needs to be." Beria explained with a smirk.
I saw her gaze shift from me to what was behind me as she grinned even more. I saw her free hand was placed now on the ice wall I created and it looked like she was melting a small hole in the wall.
"Why don't we let them hear you scream as I finish you off once and for all?" She suggested.
As soon as the ice melted and there was now a hole in the wall, I could hear everyone's voices screaming my name or cursing at Beria.
"ALICE!" I heard Shun screamed at the top of his lungs.
Before I could say or do anything, I felt Beria stab the dagger right into my side.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I shrieked in pain.
I felt hot tears fall from my eyes suddenly as I was in too much shock in pain. My eyes were widen as I slowly looked down to see the dagger plunged into me. I heard my friends screaming my name, but soon my hearing started to fade slowly a little. Soon she pulled it out making me scream once more as I saw the blood rushing out of my side. My vision was hazy now and I started to feel dizzy and tired. I saw her grin and laugh as she held the dagger in her hands and started to play with it.
"Hearing you scream just makes this even more entertaining my dear. You should be lucky I didn't poison you like I did with your friend. The only reason why is because I'm going to enjoy every moment torturing you before I personally finish you off. Once that wound of yours heals, we'll go at it again." She grinned, but I couldn't utter a single word as I was in too much pain.
"I'm gonna freaking kill you Beria! I swear to god if you touch her one more time, I will kill you!" I heard Shun shout as she laughed even more as she moved closer to me.
"What like this?" Beria said innocently.
I felt her cold icy fingers dig into my wound as I screamed in pain with more tears falling. I felt the blood oozing more as she made the wound worse. I heard my friends still calling my name, but soon my hearing was becoming weaker. The pain was unbearable, but then I felt my body becoming numb and the pain swelling away. Was this truly the end? Was this really my fate after everything I went through to get here? After so many lives sacrificed from this war including my two friends? Did everything I fought for really mean nothing in the end? I felt tears stream down my eyes as I shut them tightly not wanting to see anymore. I had failed Vanessa and the courts, but what was worst is that I failed my friends. As I heard her laugh sinisterly I cried soft tears as she began to speak again.
"Don't you just love it? I can feel the full moon's power as it rushes through me tonight. I can feel so much power and energy surging through me. Tonight under this full moon, is the night I not only killed my own kind, but also took over all of Faerie and its people." She said in victory.
"Now that's left is to dispose of you. Don't worry though my dear, I'll make it as painful as possible for you." She grinned sweetly as I frowned.
I slowly began to open my eyes again and thought I could see a bright light shining at me. For a moment, I believed I was actually dead. However, the light wasn't warm but in fact enchanting. I looked up now into the night sky above me and saw the giant full moon from the windows above me. It was so bright and divine as I stared at it in wonder. I saw Beria suddenly throw an ice dagger at me, but missed and hit the ice wall much to my shock as she grinned to me.
"I missed!" She exclaimed disappointed, but then grinned again.
"Let's see if I can get a little closer to your head." She smirked as she threw one again as it was closer to me now.
"Beria stop!" Luke shouted from behind the ice wall as she laughed and continued.
A moment ago I had almost admitted defeat, but suddenly as the moon shined above me I had never felt more alive. I felt my strength and energy returning to me with each second passing. Suddenly I felt her ice dagger now graze my ear a little as I felt it sting with pain and I felt blood trickling down on it. She grinned in satisfaction and was about to throw again. I looked to the moon and gave a weak smile and remembered what Fang had told me about the full moon. There was still hope after all . . . Soon she threw one aim straight for me head, but this time I wouldn't let her. I used my shield and was able to stop the dagger from hitting me, much to her surprise as she frowned to me as the dagger dropped to the ground and shattered much to her frustration as I gave a small satisfying grin.
"You're not the only one whose power grows stronger under the full moon." I replied as I looked at her determined and confident.
Soon without even realizing what I was really trying to do, I spread my hands out and saw black smoke suddenly appearing out of my hand and on to the ground causing Beria to be uncertain and maybe even a little nervous.
"What is this!?" She exclaimed as I grinned.
"I don't know," I replied simply as I melted the ice chains that bound my hands as I fell to the ground and landed on my feet with the black smoke still forming out of my hands.
"How about we find out?" I smirked.
I realized this must have been Fang's powers when he gave them to me. I didn't exactly know what this dark smoke would do, but here's hoping it will do something. I saw the black smoke crowding around her now as she was nowhere to be seen as the black smoke surrounded her and engulfed her into pure darkness. Soon I heard her scream as if she had seen her worst nightmare. She screamed and screamed over and over, but for some reason I enjoyed it . . . It was like she was suffocating by my hands and I was enjoying her pain and torture. This wasn't like me at all and I just couldn't find it in me to stop.
"Alice you have to stop!" Travis exclaimed as I looked behind me and saw my friends' worried expression.
"You're powers our losing control Alice!" Mira shouted.
"You have to stop!" Shun yelled.
I wanted to stop, but I just didn't have it in me to stop. I heard her screams turn into shrieks as it was more gut wrenching and painful to hear. She was suffering, but I didn't care as much. I wasn't sure if it was because of my powers losing control or the fact Fang's Dark King powers made me feel this way.
"Alice you have to stop!" Shun shouted.
"Why!?" I questioned without even realizing what I was saying.
"Why should I stop, after everything she's done!? She's as good as dead anyways, so why stop!?" I demanded, but then I saw the softness in Shun's eyes and even voice as he spoke.
"Because this isn't you! This isn't the Alice Gehabich I know and love . . . This isn't the Alice who would kill someone . . . My Alice is gentle, sweet, kind, caring, and so much more. She wouldn't hurt a fly." Shun explained, but I spoke again.
"Even if the fly had killed two of her friends!?" I exclaimed tears escaping my eyes as he looked at me and shook his head in spoke.
"She's better than that and she knows it. She won't stoop down to her level." Shun replied as my eyes widen.
He was right . . . He was absolutely right; this isn't what I would do at all. I closed my hands tightly making the black smoke stop. Soon the black smoke diminished as there laid on the ground a moaning Beria. I looked to my hands and for a moment as I felt scared I had lost control of my powers, or was being taken over by one of them. I was glad though that I regain control. All that was left now was for me to take care of Beria. Shun was right, I'm not someone who would kill someone else despite everything they've done. Beria may have taken the lives of my two dearest friends, but I know killing her won't bring them back either. There was only one option now that I was fairly certain would work on her. I slowly moved toward Beria carefully as she laid there motionless. As soon as I was close enough to her, I kneeled down and was about to touch her, until I felt her cold hands snatch mine and pulled me to the ground as I felt her hands grasp my neck tightly.
"I won't be beaten that easily Alice! Soon your powers will be mine!" She exclaimed as I felt her choking me.
I found myself having a hard time to breathe as she chocked me. I turned to stop her by burning her hands, but I couldn't do it. I suddenly felt weak and tired all of the sudden. I felt like I was being drained by her grasp. Like all my power and life energy was flowing through me, to her as she looked like she was becoming stronger. I started to feel my body tense and feel hot as I was being drained by her. I felt my life slowly slipping away.
"Looks like I win Alice. Everything is falling into place now, just as I predicted." She grinned, but then I gave a weak smile and spoke.
"I couldn't have said it better myself." I said weary.
She may be able to drain my powers, but so could I! I grabbed hold of her wrists and started to use every strength in me and started to drain Beria as well. She not the only Sighted One who can do this! I felt energy being restored to me as he eyes grew wide with fear as I was the one now draining her.
"No . . . No Stop! STOP IT!" She screamed in pain as she fell to the ground on her knees as I stood up in triumph.
I was draining everything she had stolen from those Fay she killed and now taking it for myself. I saw her trying to resist me, but I was far stronger than her as she trembled to the ground. I saw how weak and beaten she looked as it looked like she was about to past out soon. I felt so much power and energy inside me it was just incredible. Soon as I saw her eyes start to close, I released her and watched as she laid on the ground motionless. I gasped for air and took a step back falling to the ground from the sudden shock and power I gained. I stared at her motionless body as she looked weak and beaten now. I brushed my hair with my hand back and stared at her and gave a hollow laugh. I suddenly laid on the ground and looked to the moon and felt myself staring at the moon and laughing in disbelief . . . I'm alive . . . We won . . .
Soon I heard a loud boom from the entrance as I sat up and saw Leo had destroyed the ice wall I built with his powers. I saw my friends piling through the wall now. Without any hesitation, I saw Shun dashing toward me and sliding on the ground wrapping his arms around me tightly before I could speak. I felt him squeezing me tightly in his arms making it hard for me to breathe, but I didn't care as I hugged him back. I felt his hand around my waist and his other hand on the back of my head. I pulled back a little to look into his beautiful hazel eyes. I saw the worry look in his eyes suddenly fade as he stared and grinned warmly at me.
"I thought I lost you . . . Don't you ever do that to me again Alice Gehabich!" He exclaimed as I laughed and nodded with tears now in my eyes as everything was so overwhelming.
"You'll never lose me . . . not ever. I made a promise to you didn't I?" I grinned as he grinned at me that sent chills down my spine as he nodded.
Without any words left to say, I saw him lean toward me and crashed his lips to mine not holding back. I felt his hand on the back of my head as he kissed me tenderly. I felt my body temperature rising and soon he pulled back shocked and I gave him an apologetic look.
"Sorry . . . It's the full moon and all." I replied as he suddenly laughed as I laughed with him.
Soon he kissed me once more as I kept my powers under control this time. This kiss was different from the ones before as this one was more special and more important. We had gone through so much to be where we are now in each other's arms. This kiss wasn't just like any other regular kiss we shared. It was so much more than that. I could feel and taste his love for me as he kissed me and knew how sincere he was being as he let his emotions run wild. Are kisses were sweet, passionate, tender, and most of all heartwarming. Our feelings for each other didn't waver a single bit, because we both knew that we were meant for each other. That we were destined to be together no matter what god or fate had thrown at us. Our love is strong, and will last forever and ever. It's not like it's a lie either since Shun and I will be together forever and ever like this. Loving each other for the rest of our lives. I felt Shun pull back a little as he smiled and spoke almost like a whisper as he leaned in for another kiss.
"Forever and ever?" He smiled as I smiled back.
"Always," I answered as we kissed once more.
