We circling each other like vultures. Our steps were perfect and calculated. Our bodies were perked up in a defensive pose. My fangs were bared and a low hiss escaped from my lips. Helena gripped her knives tighter and stopped walking. I knew then that she would lunge.

Anticipating her attack, I jumped into the air, narrowly missing her knives. I landed on her upper back, slamming her to the floor in a ferocious kick and flipping off of her.

She growled angrily and slashed at me. I caught her arm feeling the knife pierce into the skin of my forearm. I let out a cry and instantly snapped her wrist with the flick of my wrist.

She howled in pain as I picked her up and threw her towards a tree like a rag doll. I gripped my bleeding arm feeling my legs go weak. She had slashed a vein slightly and I was losing a lot of blood.

I was focused on myself for such a long while I almost didn’t see Helena lunging at me with her knives aimed at my chest. She was bleeding all over and obviously very angry.

I side stepped as fast as I could feeling the knife graze my chest. The stinging pain was almost unbearable and I let out a loud cry as I raised my knee and kicked her so hard in the ribs, I heard them crack loudly.

She landed on the floor in agony, dropping her knives beside her. This was my chance. I pounced on her, straddling her waist. At the speed of light I leaned down and bit into her throat.

She cried out and I moaned. The sweet taste of her blood was the most delicious taste, probably because of how strong she is.

She struggled against me, pushing my shoulders and sobbing in the excruciating pain. I only let go when I felt the searing pain on my side.

I cried out and looked down at Helena’s knife protruding from my side. Moaning and groaning I yanked out the knife and rolled off of Helena.

I dragged myself away from her as she started crying and screaming in agony. What was I thinking that she deserved a merciful death? I laid on the ground clutching my side and watching Helena as she convulsed and died ever so slowly.
