"You him from the house,'
Coille looked at the shadow before turning his gaze to Blake. He still held Avalon and stared back at his creation, Coille put his back to the shadow and felt the energy he had felt before surge through his hands. Blake scoffed at his act of power. he was told of this clone but didn't think it would protect Avalon.
"I believe you should let her go,"
They stared at each other with there with an odd heaviness in the air. Blake felt a pain in his vines with the glyphs starting to form on his arms, it could have seemed to be a tattoo, but it moved with Blake like smoke reaching down his arms, Avalon saw this and stared at it with deep conviction. Coille had his eyes glow with an intense green that Blake once had.
"Why should I? I'm the one that has the advantage if I keep her in my arms," Blake stated
Coille stared at them before he started to have a small smile, Blake glared at Coille feeling as though he had the upper hand until a pain his arms, Blake glaze went to his arms finding the Avalon had made the energy in her arm move down to her hand into his arms burning him.
"You shouldn't have grabbed my arms,"
Blake was about to let go, but Avalon grabbed onto his arm and lifted him over her head, he stared down at her, and Avalon smiled at him before calling out to Coille,
"You watch over the shadow Coille I will handle Blake,"
Coille was too late to watch the shadow. it grabbed Blake from Avalon's grasp and placed him down on the ground, Blake fixed his suit and watched the two of them,
"Master we shouldn't be opposing them, we should wait for another time. You have just woke up a few weeks ago," The shadow informed
Blake kept staring at them while contemplating the shadow worries,
"I could wait to fight her another day... I do have something else on my agenda, however, the new ability she has now makes me wonder what she can truly do,"
"And the clone... the powers of both of us are in him. he will only now be a hindrance just like the other that I had to deal with," Blake thought
Avalon stood next to Coille staring at the shadow and Blake, they both could hear Blake talking with the shadow and stood there waiting for their next move, Avalon felt her tattoos burn but ignored it, Coille saw that she was in pain and decided to ask her,
"Avalon, what do you think they will do?"
Avalon glanced at him,
"I'm not sure Coille... they have Maxine going to his old base trying to get his building blocks to the mafia, I would take a guess and say that he would..."
The shadow moves off the ground, having Blake with him, the shadow now above them with Blake speaking, "I have much better things to do,"
The shadow moved away from them, leaving them, but Coille jumped up pushing his hand through the shadow while Avalon had her dagger thrown at them, the shadow moved away from Coille but wasn't able to move away from the dagger. the dagger went through the shadow to Blake, who grabbed it before it could hit him and was now staring at the dagger. He used to have one just like it, he smiled before telling the shadow,
"Go get us to Maxine,"
The shadow moved away from both Avalon and Coille, Avalon tried to run up to the shadow again but Blake threw the dagger back at them, hitting the ground in front of her, The shadow vanished from their site leaving them staring up at the sky,
"They're going to Maxien," Avalon muttered
Coille looked over at the dagger feeling the energy coming from it was not from Avalon, She let out a sigh and was about to walk over to the dagger, but Coille stopped her.
"He done something to the dagger,"
Coille grabbed a nearby rock throwing it at the dagger, the dagger shook for a moment before glowing red and scattering everywhere, he covered Avalon leaving him with some shards in his arm, Avalon opened her eyes and saw Coille look over the new town square. it had shards everywhere with some of the people who were watching injured. Avalon's gaze went to Coille,
"Coille," She muttered
Avalon takes his arm into her hands and starts to examine, it didn't look bad but it would still need the...Avalon saw that Coille was already pulling the crystal shards, Avalon looked up at him,
"That's a lot of shards, don't you think that you would bleed out," Avalon asked
"I will be fine, I have been through worse," Coille spoke too calmly for Avalon's liking.
But she saw that he was already healing, with a new form of light crystal shining around the injuries. Avalon let out a sigh, letting go of him, Avalon saw the destruction that was caused… she clenched her fist with a frustration burn within her heart.
"Bumm Bumm bum,"
Avalon's phone rang in her pocket and she picked it up, seeing that it was Salvatore calling her,
She answered the phone, bringing it up to her ears, Coille watched her and listened,
"Avalon, are you ok? no injuries?"
Salvatore's voice went through the phone worried,
"Im fine Sal, but we will need the ambulance to be in the city square, Blake made a bomb of sorts," Avalon told him
"A bomb? I will get to the hospital ok?"
"Yeah, I will go after Marcello bye, "
Avalon hung up with Salvatore's voice yelling out for an explanation, Coille looked over at her and asked, " We are going after Marcello?"
She looked over at him with a grin,
"Yep,"
Rain fell onto a woman running down the street towards the woods, she breathed in deeply looking ahead with the rain now pouring on her so much that she could barely see the road. She stopped when a sign came into her site, lotl to your right.
"That the path,"
She starts to smile walking down the path not hear the footsteps behind her, a man stops at the sign catching his breath and muttering,
"Why did I get stuck watching her,"
His violet eyes stared at the path hearing Maxien's footsteps in the distance, he felt his phone vibrant in his pocket but he kept looking at where Maxien was. He catches his breath and starts to follow her again while taking his phone out, he sees that Avalon sent him a message but his phone turns off before he can read it.
"I thought I charged it before... "
He placed it back in his pocket and continued to follow Maxien, it was all the same to home until he saw a tree that looked like something burnt it. It is on the right side of the tree that it seems like a handprint was in it. Marcello gave it one more look before walking past it have a faint memory,
"She went through the window?"
Marcello stood up from my chair and made it fall over, Salvatore explained to him, "Yes she did Luke saw that something was close to us, and then she fell through the window. Right now she is with the head nurse Rachele,"
"Did Rachele say anything, "
"Yes, she has. She is dehydrated but other than that she seems to be fine, "
Marcello felt better that day hearing of her return, he looked ahead with the rain pouring on him and he started to walk again, looking around for Maxine,
"Is this where she escaped from, "
Marcello stood in front of a door that looked like it was broken into... Or out, He started at it before taking a step towards it but a large wind blew behind him. Marcello looked above him and saw that a black shadow was above him descending, Marcello backed away with the shadow now on the ground,
A similar voice calls out from the shadow,
"Marcello I knew something was off,"
The shadow moved away from Blake showing himself, Blake had turned to him glaring at him,
"No wonder, they tried to stop me from getting here," Blake said
Blake glanced at the door hearing a noise coming from it and smiled just a little, Marcello looked at the door hearing the same noise,
"You came to watch Maxine, or did you come to hinder my business," Blake seethed
Marcello glared at him and said, "I came here to do what I must, you just in the way of it Blake,"
Blake stood there for a moment before laughing at him, the shadow wrapped around Blake having its laughter join his.
"I'm in the way?"
"No, Marcello I make a new way with the old way that died off," Blake continued
Blake pointed at him making the shadow towards him, Marcello pulled a crystal Avalon made out of his pocket and the shadow seethed at this moving back to Blake slowly,
"You need new material," Marcello mocked
Blake scoffed at this but inwardly agreed, that the person in the shadow would soon harken onto its past tool and destroy him. The shadow wrapped around Blake's shoulder while Blake stared at Marcello with bitterness,
"Maybe your right Marcello... I should just finish you off myself, "
Blake moved towards him faster than Marcello thought. Marcello placed the crystal on his chest while opening the carry-on for his pistol, Blake had his weapon on his side now in his hand trying to strike him, but Marcello blocked the knife with the crystal holding Blake back,
"You still have your old knives, Blake,"
Marcello chuckled while holding Blake back from hurting him,
"You still need those with the new way you have been talking about," Marcello continued
Blake made the knife go away and hit Marcello in the stomach sending him into some trees, Marcello muttered a curse before staring above his finding Blake there with the glyphs glowing red reaching his hand back, Marcello moved off the tree and Blake landed in it splitting the tree in half, Marcello raised his arm for the remnants for the tree not to hit his face, then he looked up finding Blake standing tall with the tree scattered around him, Blake stares at him with his eyes having a shallow red in them,
"Well, that's new for Ya,"
Blake appeared in front of him landing another hit on him and this time it was his face, Marcello planted his feet on the ground making them crater the ground beneath him,
Marcello turns his face to examine Blake, He doesn't seem fazed and only gives him another punch, Marcello staggers but stays standing. He started at Blake with blood pouring down his chin, Marcello saw that Blake was about to punch him again before mocking him a bit.
"A pity. I thought I would get a fight from you Sickle, "
Blake went for a punch and achieved it but not without leaving himself vulnerable, Marcello grabbed Blake by the arm pulling him into his knee. Blake coughed out blood while Marcello kicked him away, Blake staggered holding his stomach and coughing out blood.
"How could he hit me that badly," Blake thought
Blake didn't have enough time to think about that, Marcello was in front of him and punched him in the face hitting his nose, Blake fell back holding his once while Marcello glared at him pulling out his pistol, Blake looked up trying to see where Marcello was but his eyes are watering, Marcello pointed it at him,
"I felt that pain... you can't see well can't you?" Marcello asked
Marcello shot his weapon but he didn't see the bullet. He stared at Blake bewildered looking around Blake,
"How?"
Marcello shot at him again and nothing happened. Blake looked at him with his eyes glowing red and green.
