Chapter 12.
Sam tried to run, but Anti glitched between her and the Lady. His smile widened showing long set of teeth.
Well, it was a nice life, thought Sam. She stopped running, it was for nothing. Anti was quicker and he could fucking glitch from place to place! Better shorten the misery and let the monster bite.
Sam stopped and looked at Anti for the last time. Then she slowly leaned her head on the side, revealing her neck to him, hoping this would be the fastest death. She accepted death from such a handsome guy.
She waited for warm mouth covering her neck, for long teeth burrowing into her skin. For hot blood escaping her body.
She waited.
And waited.
After a short time it felt awkward so she opened eyes.
Anti stood in front of her. His hands and head were twitching, eyes flickering from pure green to normal blue. He was breathing jerkily. Lady behind him was concentrated at his back. They were fighting in their minds. The Lady, tho hurted, was stronger than him. The green in his eyes was staying on for a longer and longer time than the blue.
Sam took the chance and jumped forward, hugging Anti tightly around the neck. If she was the cause of Ladies problems of luring Famine under her power, she might as well use her power too.
Lady stood up at her shaking legs. Hand pointing at Anti.
Sam burrowed her face in Anti's neck. He smelled of a metal and a mint cologne.
He hugged her back. His hands wrapped around her shoulders and tightened up, causing her to yelp when he pressed her wounded chest against him.
The wind started to rise. The ground beneath them was shaking.
That was not just Sam's imagination. She jumped away from Anti, when a huge crack appeared in the asphalt between them. The ground was quickly breaking.
The sun almost disappeared behind the tall buildings on the other side of the bridge.
The Lady was standing in the rubble. She was wounded, but not that seriously for her to cause a huge storm forming above her head.
The slowly moving clouds were moving faster and faster now and turning from gray to black. They started to form a new tornado with its end reaching the ground where the Lady was standing.
"Quick! I distract her!" yelled Anti and started to glitch around the Lady. She saw him and when he appeared, she blowed him away at the rubble with a mighty wind. A huge chunk of wall fell on him, burrowing him under the rubble and dust.
Sam used the distraction and run towards the eye of the forming tornado. She swung her glass shard, ready to strike at the best time.
Suddenly she yelped as her ankle got stuck in a newly formed hole in the ground. The Lady was expecting her and moved the earth with her other hand.
"You really ARE an IDIOT!" laughed Lady maniacally at stuck girl while she was slowly rising above the ground due to the strong wind around her.
Sam was pulling her ankle out but the ground clenched it tight. The Lady made her way just above Sam's legs. Sam stopped wiggling and looked up. The Lady looked so majestic. Her free brown hair flowing in the wind, black dress tight around her perfect body, hollow eyes looking down at Sam, such a small trifle next to real Death.
Sam glanced a movement of a green hair behind the Lady. Anti jumped at her and locked himself at her back. The Lady screamed and started to wiggle, covering her ripped neck from another bite, but Anti tried to do something different.
His weight was pulling her down at Sam lying at the ground.
The Lady screamed angrily and suddenly lost her concentration.
They both fell at Sam with all of their weight.
The tornado faded away like it was never here.
Anti was the first one at his feet trying to blink away the dust in his eyes.
"Could you stop standing there and help me out of here? She stinks!" called Sam.
Anti jumped closer and moved motionless body of the Lady off Sam. The earth let her ankle go, but since they both fell onto her, she had to lay on her twisted leg and now it was probably broken at several locations.
She get up at one leg with Antis help.
The Lady was lying face down on the broken asphalt, silently moaning. The shard Sam was holding. Was stained with black blood. Their plan was a success! He pinned the Ladies heart right at the shard Sam was holding.
"We did it!" shout Sam and tried to jump with joy, but did just a small hop on one leg.
"Yeah," said Anti silently "but there is only one last small thing to do."
Sam looked at him.
He turned at her and stretched his arms out "Please aim precisely."
Sam's eyes widened. She was pushing the thought away so long she almost forgot that ALL of the demon hearts has to be pierced before the evil leaves the Earth. Her eyes started to water up. He hand with the shard was trembling.
She clenched it tighter, closed her eyes for a second.
Then she turned to him, shard ready to strike. She swung it with all her might.
She stopped an inch from his chest.
The pointy end of the shard barely touched Anti's t-shirt. She was sobbing, head bowed deep. How can she do it? This is not her. She is not the killer. She did it only in defense. But he is not a threat to her. He is not a threat to anyone.
She thought about taking all of them back to the asylum. Maybe Aaron and his scientists will find the way to contain the Lady and her strong powers!
Aaron...
She started to cry even more.
A soft hand lifted her head up. She looked Anti in the eyes.
He was smiling.
She tried to smile too, but she managed to do just a small one.
"Don't think about getting us back to that psych place. I had enough of that and Pewds with Dark would probably bite your head off too," he joked.
She laughed and almost forgot that just a few minutes before it could be a horrible truth.
"Do I have to do this?" she asked silently, fighting with another sobs "I don't want to do it!"
His right palm traveled from her chin to her cheek and lifted her closer. His other hand covered hers holding the shard to his chest.
He leaned and pressed his lips to hers.
Sam was surprised but quickly let the kiss flow. His mouth tasted sweet. She almost scratched her lips over his still a little bit sharp teeth.
In the middle of the kiss Anti clenched her hand on his chest and quickly made a step closer to her, impaling his own heart with the shard she was holding. A bright green blood stained Sam's hand and it was quickly forming a big wet stain on his t-shirt.
Sam screamed, but her scream was subdued by his lips still pressed on hers.
She tried to wiggle away, but he was holding her tight by her hand and behind her head close to him. She tried to push herself away from him by her free hand. She tasted blood in his mouth.
She stopped wiggling and collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, letting him kiss her as he wanted.
She heard Dark howl from under the statute. Then Pewds growled from inside the nearby building, calling his lost love. "Fe...lix..."moaned the wounded Lady in the answer.
Sam heard a lots of noises but the only thing she was paying her attention was Anti. His heart beated its last beats. His breath shortened, then stopped completely.
His grip on her faded away like he was only a dream. Sam fell to her knees suddenly weak on her one unharmed leg.
She opened her eyes and looked around.
She was alone.
"Lady?"
She heard an unfamiliar voice call to her.
"Lady? Are you alright?"
She didn't even tried to look that direction, she was just looking at her hands. She holded them in a cup with the green blood, that was forming into a small drops similar to a quicksilver.
"Roger, I found a survivor! One visible injury. May request medical treatment. Will make it back ASAP. Over!"
She heart a faint sound of a mens boots running towards her. Someone gently lifted her to her feet and catched her when she almost fell again when she stood on her injured leg. They asked questions she didn't cared about. She was so tired.
So. Much. Tired.
