Astrid POV
WARNING: This chapter may be a little gory and graphic. Honestly I don't think it's that graphic but enjoy :)

I felt a gust of wind, the battle taking place around me. I watched my father closely as he circled around me. I put up my fisted hands remembering what Cohen told me. I wanted to smack that stupid smirk off his face.
Blow after blow was sent to my body and I tried to keep up as best as I could. He lunges at me with his deep claws coming so close to my bare skin, but I moved away just in time.
I kept my eyes open, my vision becoming sharper. With the little energy I had left I slammed my fist into his face. His large body wobbled back from the blow "you little witch, you really shouldn't have done that" he mouths.
I watch as he opens his mouth wide, a long tongue appearing out. Its black and dripping with blood ready to attack. I dodged its attacks, I never knew that my powers could reach this extent of destruction. I will admit I was a bit careless with it.
The long tongue starts to grow sharp teeth. Snapping so close to my face, I could lose an eye if I'm not to careful. I stomp on the tongue as it gets closer to the ground, holding it tight so that it doesn't become loose.
I see the agony on my father's face as he tugs on his tongue. But I'm reluctant not to let go... I have had enough of him. Growing confident I grab the sharp tongue in my hands and ripped it into two. The oozing blood drips from my hands.
My father clenches in pain, now on his knees. I stand above his body sending harsh kicks. Blow after blow, I wanted him to suffer the way I did. And so my hits became harder and rougher until his body moved no more.
I was seeing red as Cohen pulled me away from my father's body."That's enough my love... he got what he deserved" he says gently through the mindlink. I relax into his hold as silent tears flow down my cheeks, I was tired of it all.
Dead bodies lay everywhere surrounding the office. This was one bloody battle, I look over at a wounded Arista who sends me a weak smile. I can tell she is in pain but she sends me a reassuring thumbs up.
I look over my mother who is still out cold. "Cohen... we need to get my mother to the hospital" I say suddenly feeling exhausted. He nods as he holds me close to his large body, stroking my mane of hair. I'm too tired to argue so I lay still in his arms.
Suddenly I feel a large thump against the ground. My father stands before us with a pathetic smirk. "Did you really think you could kill your own father, the world is mine for the taking".
He licks his lips smiling in triumphant. He grabs my mother by her hair lifting her high in the air. "I will destroy everything you love" he throws her fragile body across the room and I race to catch her.
We both collide into the wall, immense pain erupting through my body. I was beginning to fade in and out, I watch as Cohen fights my father. Cohen doesn't have much energy left... he could get hurt.
Cohen blocks each blow sent his way like an expert. My father just won't give up, he slams a fist into Cohen's head. Cohen slams into the ground his head hitting the ground hard. I quickly crawl over to his body protecting him from the harsh attack thats about to come.
A piercing pain hitting me straight into my back. I greet the darkness with open arms...
