Time is running out. The noise on the floor below is getting louder, causing panic to rush in William’s head. He looked at Amelia for a second and looked back to the floor; she seemed to be calm in the current situation, not showing any signs of panic like him. William bit his on lips and looked up, “OK, I’ve made my decision.”
“Oh really, that fast? Alright then, let’s hear it.” Replied Amelia with a hint of sarcasm, “I’m coming with you guys, I want to learn more about my past” said William as Amelia nodded. “Hmm, good choice. Come’ on, let’s get out of here.” She said as she climbed up the edge of William’s bedroom window, she gestured William as he gulped. “William, we don’t have much, take my hand and let’s get out of here!” she demanded, “But this is the third floor, I could break my bones if I jump out of-” Amelia jumped off the edge, drew her sword and pointed at William, her eyes were cold and merciless, “Alright, alright, I’ll jump with you but there’s no need to bring out your-” “move aside, William.” Amelia cut his sentence as he obeyed, only to find Scythenesis at the door.
‘It’s… it’s him…” muttered William, a smile some how stretched across the burning skull. “It’s been a while, William. I hope you’re prepared for what’s coming for you.” Scythenesis took a step forward, “Take back that step, or I’ll have you ripped to pieces.” Threatened Amelia, “Don’t give me that crap, Ms. Grayflower, how can a person at your rank even think of killing me?” replied Scythenesis, not effected by the threaten at all. The tension was huge, the heat of the flaming skull made the room comfortable, but soon William found himself unable to move in his spot, his nerves were numb as if some unknown force is pressing against his very nerve. “Heat, something is different about the fire on his head….” Thought William as he panicked even more, he struggled to move his body but it won’t listen to him, Scythenesis was walking closer to him, its right arm raised and its bony fingers inches away from William’s nose and he felt a sucking sensation in his face. It felt uncomfortable; it felt as if something inside is trying to burst open his face. His lungs were screaming, a cold sensation boiled his stomach as he felt his entire body is finally giving up….
There was a sudden movement so fast it seemed as if time stopped for a second, and Amelia was right in front of Scythenesis, a long slim blade sliced through the air as it dodged swiftly, immediately William was free from the invisible grip and the sucking sensation was gone. Amelia fell down on her knees and gasped for air as William got to her side and helped her to her feet, but it seemed like she is too weak to even get up on her feet. Across the room, Scythenesis landed on its feet calmly and smiled. “What did I say, Ms. Grayflower, do not act as if you are the hero here when you can’t even release yourself from my paralysation.” Taunted Scythenesis as it raised its right arm, “Shall I kill you first, Ms. Grayflower? Since you like to mind others’ business?”. Blue fog began to appear between the paths of Amelia and Scythenesis, making a flowing motion that seemed to be rushing into its’ palm.
It was obvious that the blue fog was not a good sign. Gathering all his might, William snatched the sword from the ground. He charged towards Scythenesis with the sword held high, he saw Scythenesis raised its left hand as he ran faster. “William…. don’t….” muttered Amelia under her breath, but obviously he couldn’t listen through all his battle cry. William lunged the sword towards Scythenesis, and the moment the sword was a few inches away from the flaming skull, ice formed from the blade as a giant block of cool ice slammed squarely into it’s body, sending Scythenesis crashing out of the room and out of the second floor. The floor in front of William was covered with debris and ice shards, shocked by what he did; he turned back and helped Amelia. Bruce and Monique entered the room quickly, body was bruised and slightly bloody, they were fine.
“What happened there? Are you OK, William?” asked Monique as William nodded quickly, “I’m fine, but we have to get Amelia out of here, she’s weak after fighting with that skull person.” He replied quickly as the two of them nodded, Bruce carried Amelia on his back and signalled Monique, she took out a branch from her pocket and stretched her hand out to William. “Hold my hand, we’re about to depart soon.” “Wha-” Before he could ask another question, Monique grabbed his hand and broke the twig into two with the other. All of a sudden, William’s vision turned blur as colours in abstracting form swirled around him and then something hit his head hard as his vision slowly black out….
