Charmeine was very nauseous and worried as she crouched in her attack position at the southern corner at the Acropolis Temple in Athens.
Tabbruis was with her. He drew his sword and the tip glowed. The virus was ready to administer. He checked his ear piece, telling the rest who were scattered about he was all clear.
Dmitri asked for all clear from Charmeine in her ear piece. She nervously said, “All clear.”
There were no clouds; the moon had lit the landscape just as the men said it would.
Tabbruis said, “I do love you Charmeine. May I…” Without a word more, he grabbed her and kissed with urgency and need.
They parted both breathing heavily with eyes full of fear.
Tabbruis said breathlessly, “I want you to know my love, as God as my witness, I will fight to the death to protect you.”
“I will protect you also Tabbruis, as God as my witness,” she said in a pant.
“Oh God Charmeine, I do love you,” he said with desperation.
With her face black with worry, Charmeine said, “I know, I love you too.”
Then Dmitri came on their earpiece saying the Elder Council had arrived.
Sandra said, “Informing the squad, we count 20 Guards.”
Charmeine’s heart went into her throat, and asked Tabbruis, “Isn’t that double what we thought?”
Tabbruis nodded yes, not looking at Charmeine. He was too terrified now that she would be hurt.
Thomas radioed, “All of the Elder Council is attending.”
Neal said, “The Temple Guards are bringing in a Blood-Hunter to the ‘Altar of Judgment’. It appears that he supposed to be executed tonight. The Guards have him in a death grip.”
“Neal, we should free the blood-hunter first so he can fight with us,” Tabbruis radioed.
“Good idea. Neal, we will free him as soon as we attack,” Dmitri radioed.
“Roger that,” Neal said.
Dmitri asked, “Does anyone see any more un-friendlies?”
Everyone radioed no.
“Everyone knows what to do. Be ready to attack on my command,” Dmitri radioed.
Charmeine started feeling the electricity in her hands and wind started blowing around them.
Dmitri commanded, “Attack!”
Charmeine shot up like a lightning bolt and shot across to the Acropolis throwing lightning as she went. She saw Tabbruis in super speed on the ground cutting his sword into an Elder Council Temple Guard. Two more rushed him. He kept swinging. Charmeine shot a bolt of lightning at one Temple Guard cutting him down.
She saw Sandra and Shane come around the northern corner. Sandra was setting Guards on fire throwing fire. Shane was cutting the Guards with his sword.
Neal had already freed the imprisoned Blood-Hunter, and they were fighting together.
Dmitri and Thomas were almost at the Elder Council. Their sword-fighting skills were cutting down the Guards with accuracy.
Charmeine looked over the Elder Council and thought it was weird they didn’t fight! They remained in their seats looking at the battle taking place. Pascal had his eyebrows up as if he were enjoying Sunday Night Football on television.
Sandra and Shane were trying to hold their own but the Temple Guards were too many. The Guards kept coming from nowhere.
As Charmeine would throw her lightning, she was cutting the Temple Guards down long enough for Tabbruis to cut them with his sword.
The squad was fighting, but they were not causing enough damage.
Charmeine quickly thought about bringing down hail and lightning, but she couldn’t without hurting the squad.
Suddenly, Charmeine and Tabbruis could see Shane and Sandra struggling.
Charmeine yelled, “Tabbruis our son needs us!”
With super speed Tabbruis and Charmeine were there fighting with Shane and Sandra.
Sandra’s fire started to weaken.
Charmeine and Shane were throwing their lightning to protect her.
Sandra was now fighting hand to hand combat and giving blow after blow to the Temple Guards.
Charmeine was trying to shock them off of Sandra.
Shane seeing Sandra’s power failing ran beside her and screamed, “Take my sword! We can hold them back!”
“Affirmative!” Sandra took the sword. Incredibly, she was smiling wide, and her eyes were open with determination. She presented the sword like a sword master and began slicing through the Temple Guards, punching and kicking at the same time.
When the Temple Guards came to attack Shane, he bit and shocked them throwing them back. His mouth was covered in blood.
Charmeine, Tabbruis and Shane were fighting their way to cover Sandra… but they were too late!
In all but a second, a cold wind came through… Sandra’s headless body fell to the floor!
Shane screamed in terror, “NO! OH MY GOD! NO SANDRA!” and his whole body lit up with glowing white heat.
Charmeine and Tabbruis were looking around for the murderer while they were covering for Shane.
A sinister laugh came across in another cold wind.
They all looked around and saw Sandra’ head dangling by her hair in Pascal’s bloody hand.
In a heart-wrenching wail,and a loud growl, Shane cried out, “Sandra! NO!” Shane fell down on his knees in the most excruciating pain and grief the squad had ever seen.
Tabbruis stood beside Shane fighting off as many Temple Guards as he could.
With vengeance in Charmeine’s heart and soul, she shot off after Pascal. He had already dropped Sandra’s head and vanished.
Dmitri went to collect Sandra’s bloody torso and head while fighting at the same time.
Charmeine flew after Pascal. His speed was nothing for her flight.
Pascal hid up against a large stone which was one of the many gathered around the Acropolis.
She flew to the ground and said in a vicious tone, “Pascal you will die! Maybe not now, but mark my words… YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!”
Sometimes we have to fight!
It is the struggle which engages us.
May your struggles be few!
I love this song and it is an Anthem of my past.
If youtube will cooperate, you can see it!
