I couldn’t help but cease my threatening steps from going any further, questioning now what would such actions really cost me?
I looked back over my shoulder at her to see her own shoulders slump in a pained way as her voice softened in her next plea,
“Please…don’t do this, don’t make me hate you for hurting them.” I frowned, knowing that in her eyes she was speaking the truth, that she really could hate me for such a thing. That she had it in her not to forgive me if in that moment I made this bloody choice in delivering my revenge.
In fact, I was so lost in her pained beauty that in that moment I lost all thoughts of the enemy at my back, one who was silently advancing. And the only reason I knew this was Amelia’s reaction started to change and her eyes became focused on Trice. They did this before widening in shock and then in…horror.
But the horror was not at the sight of what could befall on me. No, the horror belonged solely to Amelia. Because this was all before they then morphed into crimson pools of blood lust and hatred!
“Impossible.” I barely had time to utter this before that same impossible turned into something more disbelieving. This was because Amelia, my geeky little mortal, transformed into a Hellish version of herself seconds before releasing a wave of power of the likes I had never known or felt before!
For that split second, she looked like some kind of blood-soaked goddess. An image I would surely never forget, with her hair flaming out behind her and with the barest hint of a pair of large crimson wings haloed at her back…she was incredible!
But my astonished stare only lasted a single heartbeat for the second she screamed the wave hit into us all like a fucking mountain! In fact, all I saw before I had to fight to stay on my feet was a blood misted silhouette of her gaining in size and speed until it reached us like a fucking tornado!
I had braced for the impact, but admittedly, it was a force I fought against with everything in me. And even then, I suspect I only managed it because unlike the others, I somehow absorbed the power. I knew this because the moment it passed through me, I felt as though I could have picked up a fucking city with just the powers of my mind! I felt as if I could have beaten, well…even Adam in his other form.
Gods, but I had never felt anything like it before…actually, no, that’s not true. The last time I felt anything remotely like this was when…
When Lucifer first changed me.
Fuck, but what did it all mean?
Who…Who was this girl?
I knew without looking that it had knocked the other three off their feet and on their asses. Honestly, had I not felt the tug of their souls connected to my own then I would have in fact, believed them dead. A testament really to how strong they were to survive such an attack, one from the looks of things had shocked Amelia just as much as it had me.
But then I strangely felt the power evaporating behind me, like the once ignited sparks against my skin were now dying down to a tingling. It was as if wherever her power had come from, it had somehow been connected to my own blood. That’s how I knew without looking that it was all over.
However, the power hadn’t left my vessel completely, as I still felt the strength in the hit, and I had to wonder how long it would last for? Fuck, but it was like my own abilities had been zapped with a fucking power cable and charged beyond capacity. I felt like unleashing some kind of Hellish untapped power upon the world just to see what I was now capable of. Fuck, but I felt as if I could take out a fucking army with one thought!
In fact, I had to shake these thoughts from my mind because my main focus right now needed to be on my girl. They needed to be on Amelia, who was now stood there in utter shock and panting through her strange ordeal.
“Luc…ius, I…” she started to stammer before looking down at her shaking hands as if unable to control herself. I made it to her in a heartbeat, ignoring how much quicker I appeared to be. I took her hands in my
