AN: Warning, we gonna get a little graphic to say the least this chapter so be warned!
"Last chance, Oliver." Alex said as he pointed his sword, which was dripping with the blood of the guards he had killed outside, at Oliver. "Give me my sister, or you're next."
"Y-You have no right-" Oliver tried to say before being interrupted by Alex.
"She's my sister; if anyone in this world has the right...it's me." Alex said.
"Where's the rest of the guards?!" Duncan, Oliver's father, yelled.
"Oh, they're not coming." Alex said with a stoic face.
Then suddenly, metal clanging was heard from the sides of the church. When the people attending the wedding looked over, they saw several bloody metal helmets on both sides. Then the people saw two figures standing above the rafters of the church. Everyone could tell the two were women due to the figures, but they wore masks covering their faces. The only things they could see were one of them having purple eyes and the other having light blue eyes.
"So about those reinforcements?" Alex mocked the Tarren family.
"Fine...then I guess I'll have to handle this myself!" Duncan Tarren yelled as he pulled out his sword from his side. Alex smirked as Duncan charged Alex with all of his might, only for Alex to simply sidestep his swing and kick him in the back.
"Your age is getting to you, old man." Alex mocked.
Duncan once again charged at Alex, but Alex this time countered Duncan's attack by hitting the wrist where Duncan held his sword, causing him to drop his sword onto the ground. Duncan looked at his right wrist and realized it now hurt to even try to move it.
"W-What did you do?" Duncan asked in pain.
"A simple break in your wrist, you can still move it obviously, but you're going to have to switch to your left hand to even try and swing your sword." Alex stated.
"Fine then." Duncan said as he picked up the sword with his left hand. He had never used his left hand before, but he was not going to be mocked by Alex. Duncan was again charged, but this time he felt a lot more pain as Alex countered. He screamed in agony as he looked to his left and saw his now-missing left arm as blood gushed out of the stump that remained. He looked over to where Alex was standing and saw his left arm on the ground.
"Are you going to try again, Duncan? Or do you need an extra hand to help you get up?" Alex once again mocked.
"You!" Duncan tried to run at Alex, but the pain was just too great. "Aaagh!"
"I'm tired of this." Alex stated.
Alex walked up to Duncan and asked, "Any last words?"
Duncan said "You will pay for-"
Alex interrupted Duncan by putting his sword right into Duncan's throat, causing him to choke on his own blood and die on the ground. "Now that the father's done with it, it's the son's turn now!"
Oliver knew that Alex was now going to come after him, so in a panic, he grabbed Raven and held a knife to her throat. "Don't take a step closer, or I'll fucking kill her!"
"Well Oliver." Alex then looked at Oliver, and it was almost as if his eyes started to glow in anger. "You just eliminated any possibility of me showing any kind of mercy."
Kaede, who was in the rafters, threw a knife right at Oliver's arm, causing him to drop his own knife, while Anna, who was the other intruder, jumped down and grabbed Raven to take her away.
"Well, now you don't have a hostage, no weapon, and no volunteers to protect you, Oliver. Your life is now in my hands." Alex said as he put his hand around Oliver's throat.
"P-Please...s-show...m-mercy..." Oliver said barely able to speak.
Alex laughed upon hearing that. "Mercy? You held a dagger to my sister's throat just in an attempt to save your own pathetic life. And you want mercy? Oliver, anyone who even dares to harm my family will never be shown mercy."
Alex punched Oliver in the chest, causing his ribs to crack and Oliver to spill blood from his mouth. Alex then threw Oliver into the piano located at the church, causing it to break. Alex then walked up to him and grabbed his foot, but not before snapping it, causing it to break.
"AAAAH!" Oliver yelled in pain.
"Can't have you trying to run away now, can we?" Alex said.
Oliver, in a last-ditch effort, used his magic to cover his body in water in order to protect himself from any further harm from Alex. Oliver thought he may finally be safe, but that all changed when he saw Alex just laugh.
Alex kept laughing. "Oliver...I guess you never paid attention to your studies, don't you know? Water conducts electricity."
Oliver's eyes opened wide, realizing he himself had just sealed his death.
Alex shot a lightning strike directly at Oliver, causing the electricity to surge around his body and causing him to yell in pain as soon as his heart didn't just stop, but it was fried from inside of him. He dropped to the ground lifeless, his eyes now rolled in the back of his head.
"So..." Alex said as he turned around to the audience. "Does anyone here want to try and be the hero?"
Not a single soul made a noise, and they all stayed exactly where they were.
"Smart." Alex said. "Mom, Kaede, Raven, we should get going."
Alex along with his family walked straight out of the church, with no one brave enough to stop them. They entered one of the carriages and left the main area of the city. Alex knew the guards would stop the carriage, so along the way they hopped out and left the horses to just continue strutting towards the outward gate, which would get the attention of the guards and take any attention away from them as they snuck outside the city through the sewer tunnels from under the city, and once they were far away enough, they all took a deep breath.
"A-Alex..." Raven said, looking at her brother, whom she had not seen since the day she left.
"Hey Raven." Alex said with a smile. "I told you that I would be back."
Raven had a tear roll down her cheek as she ran up and embraced Alex in a tight hug. The two were not speaking but just holding each other in a tight hug for what seemed like an eternity for them.
