Hellbound With You (WN)

Riev and Alicia fought intensely, each watching the other ’s back. Their enemies came at them in non-stop waves but back-to-back, Riev fought valiantly while Alicia persevered on with gritted teeth – even as she is already at her last dregs.

Bodies were continually being piled up all around them, creating some sort of dark and gruesome parody of flowers arranged around a very attention-grabbing couple – but it was as if the enemies had this never ending supply and inexhaustible source of manpower. Riev knew just how many rogue vampires and witches were inside this cavern – which were just,t too many of them. There was no way that just the two of them could kill even a half of them. Their only hope now was to hang in there and wait for Alexander and the others to arrive. Of course, provided they could hang on with their lives still intact until help comes.

”Ugh! ” Alicia, who all these times managed to reign in all the discomfort she had endured, finally grunted out in pain, causing Riev to quickly snap his eyes over and immediately shifted his attention in front of Alicia. He swung his sword fiercely at the enemies as he grabbed Alicia and pulled her closer to him.

She was wounded again, and her other blade had disappeared sometime during the intense fight. It seemed she was swiftly reaching her limit. She ’s been fighting for too long!

”F*cking idiots!! What the hell are you doing? Catch the witch now and kill her!!! ” Dinah ’s voice thundered, and the vampires, like dogs who heard their master, immediately jumped at them.

Alicia sluggishly looked over to Dinah. She wanted to continue to push Dinah ’s buttons even if she could not do it physically. And coincidentally, she knew how to do that.

”Aren ’t you feeling a little tired out? Guess that is truly all you have in you. Once you get a little beaten, you hide behind those brainless toadies of yours. Hah! ” Alicia taunted Dinah, continuing to egg her on with the hopes of throwing her off focus and prolonging their waiting time for help to turn up.

”That is all you can give? Just some little scratches on your pretty little face, and you go crying in pain? Hmm…I had wondered what kind of leader you are. You know what? I know you judge me and how I am an incompetent queen witch. But perhaps you ’d better keep in mind that if I am all that…you probably are a piece of shit too, ” Alicia was truly giving her all in insulting Dinah. She was not usually this wordy. However, desperate times demands for desperate measures. She was willing to try anything to just delay and drag time.

To her surprise, her taunting worked. Those vampires under Dinah ’s command had paused under her confident jesting and mocking of their leader. Dinah ’s face had since turned fascinatingly blotchy red and was visibly shaking in anger. She stomped her feet, balled her fists so hard her nails pierced her skin, and she shrieked so loud even her own minions cringed away from her.
