The way this lady was talking made Ezekiel very worried, he just regretted descending to this place without his little brother, he suddenly felt the urge to check up on him .
The situation was just too complicated and this old lady was very weird to begin with .
"Can you give me your blood ?" she said with a wide scary smile on her face .
" Blood ? " he said while looking at her from her head to toe .
" The blood of these lowlives is what's keeping this place vivid, without this , my place would have disappeared ages ago " she said while trying to stand while putting her hand on the desk .
Ezekiel at the beginning thought that this old lady knew something and she could give him at least some information about the government, but now as he was standing that way he just couldn't believe that he gave this lady that much of his precious time .
He turned around after he stopped summoning that sword and headed through the corpses to get to the upper floor .
The old lady's madness and unpredictability confused Ezekiel a lot , it was not justified , and he realized that he had to get himself and David out of there as soon as possible or they were about to die .
Ezekiel quietly headed slowly to the small motel room where his little brother, Nathan, was sleeping soundly.
.
As Ezekiel approached his room on the upper floor while holding his breath due to the anticipation, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been creeping up on him for a while now, since the old lady started acting strange as if she was possessed.
The weird decoration, the scent of this place, the atmosphere around it, everything seemed as if it was coming from inside a history book .
It was not even that glamorous, it was filthy and boring and a bad representation of an old era .
Ezekiel was not sure whether this lady had an injury at the time , but even if she was not injured she was not supposed to move very fast .
He thought that he left her in her place when she suddenly stepped out from behind, holding a big sword just like the one he summoned before .
Ezekiel summoned his own sword in response, it was the same one he summoned before, ready to engage in the fight .
" What are you doing here ? " he said with a steady and calm voice .
"You may have thought you were safe here, you are so wrong , no one is going out of this place alive , especially just a low ranked mage like you " the old lady sneered, "I've been waiting for the right moment to strike. I can't help it …this has to be done right here " She raised her sword in the air .
"You act like a fcking rabid dog " He shouted as he took position to attack her .
He was not going to jeopardize her getting into his room .
The old lady was a fierce opponent, it felt like she was a good sword fighter and that didn't make any sense to him.
Ezekiel was no stranger to a fight; he just started to hit her with the sword while she kept avoiding his attacks and attacked him back .
He had been preparing to run for most of his life, and he had learned to defend himself against all odds.
The two of them engaged in a fierce battle, swords clashing and powers flying.
Ezekiel was determined to protect his brother and himself, but the old lady seemed equally determined to kill him and add him to her collection of dead bodies that were in the lower floor .
As they fought, Ezekiel began to realize the true extent of the old lady's powers.
She was skilled in a way that he had never seen before, yet from his analysis of the fight he still thought that he was not using a lot of energy to fight her , he was not even using a strong spell to do that .
'The only thing that I am so sure about is that , this bitch has the power , still I don't know her motives '
" Kids nowadays have really bad manners !" she shouted when he made a lot of cuts in her body.
Ezekiel smirked then said :" Bitch " As he stabbed her with a huge force with the sword, he didn't even leave her or move away from her , he kept looking at her directly then said :" You should have stayed in your way , I don't give a fuck about the people that you killed , they don't matter to me but if you chose to mess with me then you better assume for your actions "
The blood was getting out of her mouth, she started coughing and she even leaned towards Ezekiel very fast then said :" I want your blood , your blood keep…this place …alive "
" After all you're just a psychotic bitch , nothing more to it "
As she was about to fall, something bumped into the ground , Ezekiel looked at the ground just to see something dark next to her shoes .
Ezekiel pushed her body away from his sword that was filled with her dripping blood right now , then he looked at the dark thing that fell from her when he gave her that fatal stab .
He walked towards it slowly as he was trying to catch his breath , he was a bit tired of fighting with the old lady and that confused him a lot .
"It's a book " he said with surprise as he took it from the ground and stood there and started to check it out .
" No …no not a book …it looks like a fucking grimoire " he said with a wide smile on his face .
He looked at the old lady that was lying on the ground surrounded by a lot of blood then said :" The bitch was like me …the bitch had supremacy ..she didn't kill them because she was loyal to the system …she killed them because she hated everyone who were not like her …that explains the psychotic moves she made "
