Kes emerged from the room and saw Anara advancing, Miteza looking as dazed as she herself felt. Cagen was on the ground, but he was getting up… He was getting up! He was groaning and holding his head and looking very confused. Anara had drawn a blade… Kes watched in mute thrall as Cagen and Anara’s eyes met. Kes felt fury like she’d never felt before pour through her mental link with her wife. Anara’s blade came up and struck down, stabbing Cagen in the belly.
Cagen tried to cry out, but Kes had enough presence of mind to strike him mute with her power before he could, knowing that it could be a death sentence for them otherwise. Cagen kicked at Anara’s knee. Anara yelped in sharp pain and stumbled to the floor, her blade still buried in her enemy’s belly. She grabbed up a second smaller blade that had been strapped to her ankle though, and, with a snarl on her lips, threw herself at Cagen. She grappled with him a few moments, but his strength failed him and she stabbed the knife into his eye. He tried to scream, but Kes stubbornly focused all her will on keeping him silent. She ignored everything else. She felt his pain, she couldn’t stop herself from feeling it with what she was doing, and she sunk to the floor, not able to stay standing.
Anara pulled the knife from his eye and buried it in his throat next. He gurgled a few times, and Kes felt her wife’s elation as her foe died beneath her. For what he’d done, Anara thought, felt to the deepest parts of her, there was nothing else but this she could have done to answer it. It was right. It was all that she ever could have done.
The sharp, stinging pain in her knee working to sober her now that the struggle was done, Anara groaned and looked out at the street before her. The woman from across the way was looking at her, at them, frozen in shock for now. Kes saw it through Anara’s eyes and sent her thoughts out, forcing the woman to forget, to go back into her house and forget what she’d seen. The woman was across the street and had a stubborn, set mind, but Kes knew she had to do it, despite both those barriers. The woman couldn’t tell what she’d seen and Kes absolutely refused to even consider the possibility of killing her to keep her quiet. She was past sick and tired of killing and death and she wanted no further part of it. Not ever again. She pressed and forced the woman’s mind to bend, to forget. It was like walking against a strong desert wind under the hot sun, but, inch by inch, she pushed through, putting what extra effort she could into making sure she hurt the woman as little as possible.
