Snippet #2687107

Balthazar drew a deep breath, calming himself down wasn't something I honestly expected, "You know I pride myself on my looks and charming personality, the ladies have always flocked to me. Yet you defy that, you defiled my handsome looks with your arrow and fist... heh. Your the first woman to ever actually hurt me so I'll allow you to be proud of that before I kill you." he said venomously as he pulled out the arrow groaning in pain before he threw it to the ground and stomped on it. I flinched and moved back as fast as I could, I took a wrong step and yelled in pain as I collapsed down on my knee, I hissed at myself, my leg was still broken which meant running was out of the question. He snorted and walked towards me taking his time, "I'll make sure it's a very slow and highly painful death, you deserve it after all." He muttered vicious with his tone. I scrambled to get away I wasn't going to live this. I felt an utter chill go down my spine and froze my entire body as he drew closer, 'move' I hissed at myself, step after never ending step I could feel him baring down at me. "move!" I managed to yell to myself and turned as he was almost on top of me I kicked him back with my good leg and winced, scorning myself over this matter I managed to jump and grab my bow.

I pulled out an arrow and shot it swiftly piercing his shoulder he snorted and grabbed it again snapping it in half he threw the spear tip at my head, I focused carefully before it hit it transformed into a flower and though it still hit me it didn't hurt. I blinked... that was it! This was how I could beat him. I got up slowly and aimed another one, but he moved faster again and grabbed onto my throat pinning me to the wall, "Now... let's try this again any last words?" he asked squeezing my throat I could barely breath never mind talk. I looked into his eyes, nothing but malice and pleasure watching me slowly choke for air. I had to get him mad again, my eyes rolled back but I closed them to try and focus, "T-That.... a-alll... you got?" I managed to spit out into his face. He snarled at me and threw me across the room again I screamed as my body bashed against the wall, I gasped and slide down the wall. I hurt pretty bad, but at least I was free and that was a start as I breathed sparsely, I had to get ready in almost an instant because I knew he would rebound fast. A fake out probably wouldn't work again but I was in just the right spot, I reached for an arrow but to my shock I had none left. Most of them had scattered when i had been battered about. I groaned and then I remembered... I reached into my pouch swiftly and pulled out a seed, "Please work..." I uttered softly and held onto it pulling back my bow and aimed it. "What you going to throw air at me? Did you hit your head a little to hard?" he stared laughing at how pathetic I must have looked.

"Something like that..." I retorted and then closed my eyes pouring my focus into the seed it split open and grew into a plant before morphing into a solid arrow, I beamed for a second feeling confident I shot the arrow across the room skidding across his cheek leaving a cut. I let go of my breath and faltered, I missed him. He reached up and touched his cheek and pulled back his hand staring at the blood, his eyes turned black with the dark anger that seemed to radiate off him, "I'll kill you!!" he roared leaping towards me, that was the rise I was waiting for. I focused and lifted my hand as though to stop him instead I focused on the arrow i just shot, it had bolted into the boarded window, transforming back into a vine like plant it started to break through the boards the sun shone into the room causing Balthazar to hiss with pain. He recoiled back to the dark corners and glared at me from there. I knew I was safe even if just briefly. So long as the sun separated us at least. I gasped and clung onto the wall as the building started to quake a little something was very wrong I got up slowly after it settled and practically dragged myself along the wall, I would fight him again one day... but first I would need to train more with my physical fighting, however I didn't leave without giving a warning. I shot an arrow into the darkness, "We will fight again Balthazar... and next time I won't let you win." I said slightly determined now I would beat him one day and return the favor. "F*** You B*tch!!" He swore loudly, "When I find you again I will kill you! I will ruin you Demeter! I will END YOU!" he swore before sinking away into the darkness. I didn't doubt his word, certainly it frightened me to think about, but I had to find the others, I would never forgive myself if they died here. I limped along the wall and went to look for the others.
