Hellbound With You (WN)

”Shut up, woman, ” was all Alex replied, not even throwing her a glance. His eyes were still glued to the masked man before him.

The woman seemed to be displeased by his remark that she straightened up and clenched her fists.

”Catch him, ” she ordered and the masked man attacked without a second thought, causing Alex to smirk.

In the next moment, the two engaged in a fierce battle of swords.

The masked man had pointed his sword, ready to strike Alex through his abdomen. Alex defended himself by swinging his sword in front of him, swiping the other man ’s blade away from his body, sparks flying from the contact. Alex then countered with an overhead slice, aiming to cut down the masked man in half lengthwise, but the masked man spun away from his impending doom, causing Alex ’s sword to smash on the ground, creating a large crack.

Alex didn ’t have time to think as the masked man jumped up high in the air, replicating the attack he had just used and Alex quickly lifted his sword over his head, putting a hand under the flat edge of the blade for reinforcement, as the masked man ’s sword made contact, causing Alex ’s hold on his sword to waver. Alex managed to push the attacker off him and he leapt back, creating some space between them.

The masked man didn ’t look like he was at a disadvantage. In fact, he was almost on par with Alexander and what was worse was that it was as if he knew everything about Alex ’s strength and speed. It was as if he could read his next move.

The elite vampires continued glancing at each other. The masked man ’s movements looked way too familiar to them. It was way too identical to their master that even though they didn ’t want to believe it, suspicion had started to bloom within their hearts.

The battle was extreme. Sparks and clunks from the sword were the only thing that could be heard, with neither of them gaining the upper hand. When one attacked, the other defended and countered just as swiftly. Even if Alex was as fast as lightning, the masked man was able to counter him through predicting his moves. This back and forth went on for a while with no one giving the other a chance to finish off the fight.

Everyone was in a trance as they watched, and Alex was still smiling, obviously enjoying the dangerous, adrenaline-inducing, thrill.
