SO I EDITED CHAPTERS 1-16, more description, a few gifs ;) and I'm happier (probably will edit more when I reread my book the 100th time)

BUT MY FRIKING COMMENTS HAVE DISAPPEARED!!!!!! So sad rn!!!!

Anyways, 5k reads maybe?

I grip onto my Artemis tighter as I watch Amelia inching towards me. Her long bare legs ambled forward elegantly as she begins to pull her silver hair, wrapping it into a ponytail away from her face.

Standing my ground, my feet planted on the ground, I scrutinized her bloody eyes as they begin to glow ravishingly. Attentively, I watched her, patiently waiting for her next move.

We were caged in by heated bodies that surrounded us. Eyes burned into me, contemplating on my next course of action.

My eyes snatched from the crimson orbs and begins to start scanning over the different, excited faces trapping me within this battle circle, trying to spot a familiar face.

Finally, they land on a pair of anxious eyes. Fear embroidered on his face as he stared right back at me.

Ryder.

Focused on his terrorized expression, my vision turn hazy as everyone else seem to disappear from view.

Panic-stricken, his glossy blue eyes bored into my own, glistening apprehensively as his eyebrows furrowed fearfully. Tracing my eyes over his face, I watched his mouth move slowly.

But I couldn't hear his voice. As though I was stuck in a trance, I watched him repeating the same words over and over again in slow motion.

Why do I feel like this?

Slowly blinking, I tried to regain consciousness. Feeling suddenly lightheaded and drowsy as my vision began to warp and contort. I moved my head to face Amelia.

"LOOK OUT ANNIE!"

Ryder's voice boomed into my ear, alerting every nerve and every muscle in my body to move.

Amelia's pale face was within an inch away, a deadly expression smeared over her face as she begins to smirk victoriously. Her right hand was pulled back, ready to latch onto my face.

Her overgrown, stiletto nails shaped like daggers, ready to slice through my flesh and taste my blood.

It's too late to attack. I have to defend myself.

Before her hand reached my face, I quickly bought the Artemis forward to block my face, creating some distance between us. Using my whole body strength, I pushed her away from me.

Electricity begins to erupt as Amelia grabs on to it.

Fury emanated from her eyes, adrenaline sparking her every nerve as hunger channeled through her veins. Primitively, she growled.

She doesn't feel the shock.

Effortlessly, she ripped the Artemis from my grip, throwing it on to the floor.

"Tsk, that's all you have? Pathetic." She grimaced as she starts to smile maliciously.

She's going to pounce.

Her right foot was lunged forward, as her left foot begins to slide backwards, her toes pressed on to the floor; balancing her posture.

Creeping backwards, I begin to notice the gasps echoing around us.

Don't be distracted. Not again.

With breakneck speed, she jumps.

I look up to see her knees bent and arms raised. She was now directly above me and I watched as she starts to descend down. Her animalistic face inching closer each second.

Stealthily, I dodged her. Moving under her so that I was now behind her.

Her silver hair bounced before cascading down her back and onto the floor as she gracefully crouched down in front of me.

Her head whips back to face me and she begins to hiss possessively. Her teeth on full display, showcasing her fangs and her eyes darkening.

"You little bitch!" She snarled.

Frenetically, she pounced. Leaping her body towards mine, her hungry, lustful eyes holding their intense gaze on mine.

Hastily, I swirled away from her direction, breaking eye contact as she falls on her knees.

Attack.

Building up momentum, I twist my body, pulling my right leg back.

My blood boiling in frustration, the adrenaline pumping through my body, I was feeling exhilarated.

Absorbing every ounce of energy left in my body, I forcefully propelled my foot, aiming it directly at the nape of her neck.

The roundhouse kick perfectly struck her, the impact giving her no time to think as her head meets the solid floor.

Subconsciously she speedily grabs onto my foot, pulling me under her. Her tight grip freezes me in place as her pointy nails begin to pierce into my skin.

Excruciating agony begins to spout out of my ankle. A burning sensation taking over my body as she begins to apply pressure, trying to break my bone.

A harrowing groan ruptured from my throat, instantly causing Amelia to lift her head up gleefully.

She begins to stand up, hovering above me with her fingers dripping with my blood. She begins to lift her index finger towards her mouth, sucking on it.

"You taste delicious for a bitch." She moaned.

Looking down at my right ankle, I was infuriated. I watched as a rich rufous patch of blood bloomed within my white, cotton sock.

"Pathetic." She scoffed as she turned around.

Jaw tensed, fists balled, I felt my heart beating whimsically, the thumping sound echoing in my ears.

Determination replaced anger as passion burst within my chest, spreading within every fiber in my body. Every cell in my body trembled avidly, craving to cause pain.

A small smile tugged on the corner of my mouth as I watched Amelia sauntering away gloatingly.

I bought out my left foot and kicked the spot behind her knee, making her leg buckle shamelessly.

Vigorously, I spring towards her stumbling body, ambushing her and tackling her body to the ground.

Behind my labored breathing, I sniggered triumphantly; sending a series of jabs and punches on her ribs as I straddled her lower abdomen.

"Don't you...EVER ... Call me...A....Bitch... You beast!" I spat.

A thrilling feeling radiated from my body, I could feel my body tingling in delight after every punch as it connects with Amelia's body.

An unexpected burst of riveting power coursed through my blood, reaching every cell in my body. An intense force aroused within me, a new strength awakening from the pits of my stomach.

A flaming wreckage exploded within me. The sensation igniting a compelling feeling, engulfing the darken void deep inside.

I looked down. Amelia begins to gasp and pant as I beat her lungs, damaging her ribs, puncturing her cold flesh.

Her long arms begin to claw my shoulders, imploring me to get off of her.

Instantly, my left hand gripped her throat. Crushing her windpipe until my knuckle turn white, as I watched her pale skin drain of any remaining color left in her body.

Leaning over her body, I watched as her wide eyes start bulging out their sockets, changing back to a dull color, drained of energy.

Her eyes were cold and empty. Any signs of life were consumed as they begin to harden impassively turning into a dull shade of grey.

Her eyes start to slink down towards my chest.

Instantaneously, her eyes imploded with fear. Trembling in horror, they reflected a deep vermilion light that shone on her pale skin.

What the fuck? Why is she glowing?

My eyes trailed to where hers were fixated on.

My necklace.

I glanced to see the red ruby dangling from my neck gleaming vividly.

The gem glistened ferociously, blinding me as I continued to stare; awestricken.

As though I was hypnotized, I stopped strangling Amelia and instead began to observe the precious stone below me. Swallowed in a trance, I watched enthrallingly as the rock dangled and danced below.

"W-what are you!?"

Her choked out words ringed in my ear, but I paid no attention.

As though everything was on pause, I stared down at the bewitching jewel like it was the only thing left on the planet. Stuck in a never ending limbo, my mind gradually felt at ease.

Blocking out the voices that surround me, I listened to my blood flowing through my body, the beating of my heart and the panting of my breath beginning to steady.

A feeling of serenity infiltrated through my being, taking over my consciousness.

Peacefulness.

Suddenly, a strong pair of arms slithered under my own, pulling me up from Amelia's weak body.

Ripping my gaze from the gemstone, a throbbing pain overtook my mind; befouling the tranquillity aroma, tainting it with undiluted agony.

The scarlet light immediately disappears from view as my eyelids began to close. Screams and shouting vibrated around me as I feel the same pair of arms snake under my knees and grip my side.

My eyes struggled to look up, my eyelids falling heavily trying to take a glimpse of person above.

Until there was nothing but black.
