"Empress . ."

The low growl in the Gooru’s voice said it all, they were out numbered.

Fuck

Jodi’s inner voice rang in Bette’s head as she heard a shuffle of footsteps going in the opposite direction. Jodi and whoever was left with her were running away.

Tina immediately dropped to her knees beside Bette as the brunette was turning on her stomach, wincing in pain. She felt Tina’s soft touch on her shoulder, cooing her.

"No don’t move . . you’ll hurt yourself"

Bette swallowed hard, "H-have to . . m-my d-dagger"

Tina looked down at Bette in confusion as she gently moved a piece of hair that was plastered to Bette’s sweat soaked forehead.

"What?"

Tina’s line of sight slowly lowered as she saw Bette struggling to reach a small dagger sheath on her leg. The blonde pulled it out for her, the metal was glowing a soft blue.

"You mean this?"

She placed it in Bette’s shaky hand as the brunette finished turning on her side to see Jodi’s quickly retreating back. She raised herself up on her hands and knees, ignoring the pain and fatigue as she threw the dagger with expert precision.

The new wave of pain that shot through Bette’s body was unbearable but in her weakened state, she couldn’t even scream. Instead, she lost her balance and fell forward. Tina caught her on the way down just as Jodi and Shane’s screams filled their air, mixing with the grunts of the leftovers in Jodi’s army.

Oh yes, they were all joined no doubt about it now.

Tina glanced up and saw the dagger impaled in Jodi’s right shoulder blade, far from a kill shot but the blonde knew the dagger was blessed with Oracle magic.

She gently placed Bette back down on her side just in time to see a weak smile from her lover.

"G-got her . ."

Tina smiled back and nodded as tears fell from her eyes, "You did baby"

All of a sudden, strong arms were wrapped around Tina and she was lifted off to her feet.
