Narrator's POV

The entire room has a deadly aroa as Edwards army comes into view. instantly you can tell that Jay;s army is greatly outnumbered. each stare at the other with intense glares just as Edwards voice booms around the room.

"I want to see how powerful this little army of yours is," he chuckles. "have fun!"

"I'LL have fun alright. Attack!" jay calls out as her army begins surging forward.

Jay grabs her swords and charges toward the woman in front of her but is instantly frozen in place. The woman circles her as if she is prey and with the power of the mind forces jay to drop one sword as the other makes its way toward her neck. Within the chaos Anthony slips over and swiftly cuts the woman's head clean off. The blood splatter over Jays faces as she stands there breathing hard.

"Figure out their power before you give yourself away and export it," he says just as a large man, Odian, brings his fist down to punch him.

Anthony swiftly blocks each punch, then uses his dagger to stab the man in his dominant arm. He yells out in pain and reaches out to grab Anthony's hair but he is too quick. he slips under his arm masterfully and slashes his side, but gets knocks to the side and lands on the floor. As they both struggle on the floor odian leaves his side unblocked. Anthony takes his opportunity to kick him in the side and jab his dagger into Odian's gut.

Blood drips from Anthony's nose as he gets up and sees clear being drowned by a water bender. As soon as he reaches her side he feels the water being channeled his way blocking his airways. Claire is able to slip out of her opponents hold while their focus is on Anthony and uses her double sided ax to cut into the water benders stomach. She stops short of killing her and lays a hand on the woman's chest.

"Now you will know how it feels to drown!" claire screams as the woman's lung began to bleed out and she chokes up blood.

Malique walks up to her with Zelena close to his side humming one of her deadly songs, "I need to get her to the main room. I can see the opening from her but she can't keep them off of us and fight at the same time."

Claire nods understanding and pulls her ax out of the woman's stomach. With each step, she ferociously swings her ax. arms, heads, and chunks of the body began to fly each and every way. She focuses so hard on reaching the door in front of her she misses the lightning bolt that is headed her way.

just in time Jay jumps in front of the three creating a force field that sends the lighting straight back to the person who shot it with twice the amount of force. she looks back at her friends surprised by her own actions and urges them to go forward.

with each opponent that comes to attack jay a new power emerges from her. She gains control over her movements so much so they flow through her like water. She lets her swords guide her with each stroke of her hands. The act as though they are a part of her.

Suddenly Luna comes from behind her and slashes her back, "Miss me bitch!"

Instead of feeling pain the sting of the blade only fuels her further. She quickly turns around clashing metal against metal in their deadly dance. She stabs Luna in her back as she was spinning away from one of her jabs then pins her against the pillar.

"I will enjoy this very much," Jay says and she draws her sword up to cut Luna's pe=retty little head off, but as soon her arm raises Luna tackles her with a strong force.

Once their skin touches Jay begins to experience the excruciating nightmares flowing from Luna. She screams out in pain and tries to fight against the immobilizing pain. At the sound of her scream, Kambrea runs over and stabs Luna in her back.

"That's for Anthony you backstabbing bitch!" she smiles in triumph as she lifts Jay up from the floor.

Just when they feel like hey are gong to win this battle Anthony cries out in agony. They both run over to him and see his leg has been cut off and is surrounded by a pool of blood coming from the wound in his chest.

"No no no no! Don't you dare die on me," jay screams as her voice cracks.

She reaches out to heal him but loses her focus and he begins to bleed faster. The tears fall from her face and land on his wound. While her eyes are closed the wound begins close and the small nub that is left heals over. Although his body heals he still lays there unconscious.

Out of rage Jay picks up his unconscious body and lifts him up the stairs. she ignores er sore muscles and the pain in her back and with each step thinks of each nd every one of her friends that got hurt. Each and every person that's blood was shed on these red floors. She reaches the top of the stairs and faces the black glass.

"Face me you motherfucking coward! Stop letting you little minions do all the work! Fight me!"

As soon as the words leave her mouth a piece of the glass begins to shimmer. Malique moves through the crowd and grabs Anthony's body from her as she steps through the black glass.

There is a vast room with a throne fit for a king at the head of it. A large man sits in the thrown with three people in front of him. Daymien lays on the floor was broken and bloody, her father lays next to him barely breath and standing behind the both of them grinning is her long lost brother Axiel.

Jay falls to the floor weeping with emotion from seeing all the people that have been taken from her. The emotions are overwhelming and thorns fly from her body creating a protective shield.

From the thrown a deep chuckle is heard, "Wow I was expecting something slightly more bad ass. Has your mother taught you nothing? You have my blood flowing through your veins! make it count for something."

"Edward...." jays says spitting a mixture of blood and saliva at her uncle as she stands to hr feet.

"In the flesh," he smirks. "When you were younger I took you dearest brother from you thinking that he was the strongest, but as you began to grow and mature I felt you magic multiply. You completely disappeared off the radar until one day I felt a blast of power coming from you. Imagine my surprise when I learned that my dearest niece was denied her birthright?"

"The only thing I was ever denied was a complete family. you stole that from me!"

"Indeed I did. Too bad you won't be getting them back anytime soon......unless you take up my offer of course," he says with a smirk on his face.

"Never!"

he shakes his head, "Never turn down an offer before you hear it, dearie. it not good manners and it horrible business skills. I propose that in trade for your loyalty to me I will release this pathetic lot of yours along with your friends down there to go on their merry way."

She looks up at him skeptically.

"Its the perfect deal. Loverboy gets to go back with his family, your poor mother gets to have her long lost son and husband back, you don't have to lose any more friends and I get the power I've always wanted. Even trade don't you think?"

She chuckles softly, "That's what this is all about? Are You gaining power? With all the people you have down there fought what makes you think you don't have enough power!?"

"Power is everything! It's stronger then love and blood combined. without power, there is no control. All of that pathetic beast mean nothing to me! They are all just pawns in my wonderful game of chest," he pauses for a moment and takes a breath.

"let em tell you a story. Hundreds of years ago there was a brilliant man who feels in love. that love consumed him and he thought there was nothing more powerful in the world than the feeling within him at that very moment. Then His parents took that love away from him. He was a very driven boy and believed that they should be able to feel the pain that he felt. So he killed them but not before putting a curse on their family and himself.

"Out of his rage, he killed the entire true blood vampire race. He also hated being crossed which is how the Rose populations died off. Then you come along as a Rose with all your wonderous power and he just has to have you."

Jay sat there thinking the story over and her options, " You killed all those innocent people because one bad thing happened to you?"

"Evil is like a virus dearie. you must kill it off before it gets too far. Obviously, there was something wrong with that race since they crossed me so I handle them accordingly.

"Either way, you have a choice on the table. Join me and rule the world or stay with your little band of robbers and die like everyone else who crossed me. I'm giving you the choice your ancestors never got.'

Although she knows that taking this deal will break her mother's heart more than anything in the world she can't help but think of all the people her life would save. She looks to the floor at the people she loves and sees all the pain they endured because of her. Looks at her older brother whose life was stolen from him as a child. She thinks of Anthony who could be saved if she just agrees to this simple yet complicated deal.

"d-don't.....do....it," she looks back to the floor to see her father pleading her not to take the deal.

As soon as the words leave her mouth Axiel kicks him in his already injured back and he falls to the floor. A tear leaves her eye seeing her father in such a weak and deadly state.

"I-I'll......."

Before the words leave her mouth she hears a voice in her head.

'If you agree to this you will be sold to him for life. I was his friend once and I know how his promises work. You need to outsmart him. You need to beat him and get your family back.'

Although I don't know where the voice is coming from I but I can feel the power in it so I choose to believe him.

"I'll join you if and only if you beat me. Just us one on one. If you win I take your offer, but if I win I win that's it. You're over forever. Stay away from my family and stay away from my friends. you may never harm another human being for the rest of you pathetic life."

He smiles again, "Is that your final offer?"

"Yes," she says with all the strength she can muster.

"Deal!"

As soon as that word leaves his mouth she is flooded with so much power her body floats off the ground. She reaches back for one of her swords and charges him at the speed of lighting. Edward blocks her blow and throws her down to the ground but instead of falling she flies up and kicks his head from above. Right before her legs makes contact he puts up a shield and shatters all the bones in her legs.

She falls to the floor and him jumps on top of her. Her thorns wrap around her legs acting as a cast for the bones and she uses her arms to block each of his blows. She throws a left hook and makes direct contact with his jaw with all the force that she has and it brakes his jaw.

Before he gets the chance to regroup sh flips them over so that she's o top and repeatedly throws punches. Each punch gets stronger and strong as she thinks of all that people that he has hurt.

Without even trying her thorns flow out of her and wrap around her neck and she continues to punch him until his body goes completely still.

She stands up over his body and looks at all the blood on her hands. The death starts to hit her and she tries and tries to scrub the blood off her hands.

"Jay.....Jay! Baby calm down its over."

She looks up to see Daymien wrapping his arms around her, "You......you were hurt......how.......how is this...."

Instead of saying anything he kisses her passionately and for the moment it calms her down until she looks up to her father. Axiel is standing over his body with his hands wrapped around his body.

"Get the fuck off of my father!"

When Axiel looks up his face is completely wet with tears. His breathing is ragged and he pleads with his face.

"I wasn't strong enough. I promised you I would fight for you and I couldn't. I gave into him," he begins to cry harder as our father takes a deep breath and lays a hand on his back.

"I forgive you, son. It wasn't you, it was him. I've given into my uncle before his and have done worse things than you have," my dad says as his voice cracks with emotion.

I fall back to the floor in front of my brother and my dad not able to say anything. I feel the rush of the bonds being returning to me. I am able to see all the things my brother has done and all the times he was locked in a room when the real him began to emerge.

"I-I'm so sorry I didn't find you before.......I"

Instead of talking an area of love encases us and we all know exactly how the other feels. When we let up from our hug, I see Daymien with a muscular but weak man hanging off of his arm.

"I see you took my advice kid," he says with a weak smile.

before I am able to say anything an amazing voice starts to sing Rise Up y Andra Day.

"Who is that?" I ask smiling at its beauty.

"That is my beautiful baby," my dad says smiling.

we all partially walk partially stumble to the door to see that all of our opponents are lying on the floor either dead or unconscious from the song. A few of mt people died today but we still stand strong and triumphantly while the song goes on.
