“Fucking Die!” Abellona screamed as she pounced back on top of me, pinning me to the forest floor. She then hit me across my face and it felt like being in a car accident, my mind blinking out momentarily. She then hit me again and then a third time and I wasn’t sure just how many more I could take. Each of her powerful blows she was raining upon me making me weaker-and-weaker, taking more-and-more out of me until I thought I was about to go unconscious. Straddled on top of me, Abellona grabbed a fist full of my hair again and pulled me up bring my face close to hers. “Fucking die, Barrett scum!” she screamed directly into my face, and the thin blue light that radiated from her mouth and eyes stung my face with the heat of her hatred.

And when my fist landed with her nose, there was a great flash of light and I was thrown from her by a wall of heat and energy. I don’t know how long I was down after that, but when I picked up my head, I was back on the ground. It had taken me a moment to regain my vision, but when I did, I saw that the birch tree that’d been directly in front of me while I was pummeling Abellona now stood ablaze. Its branches engulfed in flames lighting up the area. Other branches were lying around me on fire, and autumn colored leaves were floating gently to the ground smoking and smoldering. Stretching out from the base of the burning tree where the lightning had struck now stood a fissure cleaved opened several feet wide and billowing steam—Red fires glowing from down deep within. Abellona lay prone about fifteen yards away from me, but I could see that she was beginning to move and come around. I sat upright and watched her as I struggled to catch my breath, my breathing heavy and belabored from my …show more content…

Please!” she pleaded with me while still on her knees. “Give it to me and I’ll let you and your family go. You have my word.” “Your word,” I said mocking her words. “What the fuck did I tell you an Abbott’s word is worth to me? You had your chance. Now go to Hell where you belong.” I say this to her in a pitiless tone and then I threw her Medallion down into the fissure where a sudden eruption emerged from deep below, causing fire, smoke, and steam to blow forth up to the surface. “NO!” Abellona cried out. “Nooooo, you fucking bitch, I'LL KILL YOU!!!” From her crouched down position Abellona then blinked out of existence only to reappear, having teleported across the fissure and was now standing before
