Chapter 57

"Argh"Irye grunts as she hits the ground. Apparently, she's been thrown by Abigail who is much more angry than she had ever been.

Nonetheless, Irye forces to stand and runs up to face Abigail again.

The family seeing Irye been hurt by Abigail, begin to plan their attack.

Blake goes for the weapons he had hidden in the bushes behind a big tree and comes to stand near the family.

He looks to his side and nods at Claude who is preparing to follow him and Evie who's wrapping a piece of cloth around Gerrard's wound.

Claude nods back when he's ready and they wait for Evie to join them.

After caring for Gerrard's wound, Evie goes for her weapon and joins the rest.

With Evie and Claude holding a spear made from some scraps Blake put together and Blake holding a rusty knife and a stick, they run towards the two fighting.

Irye throws a punch with most of her might into Abigail's face, earning an angry scream from her.

She grips Abigail's shoulders, Abigail imitating, as they struggle to get out of each other's grip.

Suddenly, something hits Abigail,asking her lose focus. Irye uses this chance to hit Abigail on the neck and make her take a fall.

After Abigail falls, Irye easier her head and sees three people standing in front of her with something in their hands, they call weapon.

"What are you guys doing here?"She yells at the three. "I thought I made it clear to you last time."

She has a big problem at hand currently and she doesn't want to be distracted and to her worst expectations, the people she is trying to protect are right there in the dangerous place with her.

"Don't you know this place is dangerous? Don't you?"She shouts out her devastation.

She looks at them with fear and anxiety in her eyes.

Claude holds Evie's arm and brings it down.

All the while Irye is yelling, she is out of her mind. Shocked she hit someone for them to fall, she continues hugging the weapon in her hand, completely lost in reality.

"Hey."Claude whispers to her. "It's okay..calm down now."He helps his sister wake up from whatever dream she's chosen to live in.

Abigail begins to move on the ground. She could be hurt by Irye but never will she die by her hand unless it's her blood she uses.

Abigail doesn't know that fact and smiles to herself as her bones crack in her body, while she stands up.

"Go!...now!"Irye doesn't have the luxury to chat with them. She holds Abigail's almost plucked-out hair and pulls her away.

With bones cracking and reforming, Abigail manages to get out of Irye's hold. Anger refilling, she gets hold of Irye's hair and raises her up a nearby tree.

"Am going to end you and that bastard today."She says, gritting her teeth. "It will be your last today. Make sure you take in enough breath before I make you breathe still air."

The fight becomes more and more intense and Blake and the rest can't bare to watch anytime Irye gets hit by Abigail.

They intend to help. Deciding to go in all at once, they all run to Abigail who's busily choking Irye against a tree.

Blake uses his knife on Abigail and when she turns to him, he tries a second attack, receiving a bit from Abigail.

"Blake no!"Irye yells on a choked voice. She struggles to free herself from Abigail's grip.

Claude and Evie go next, attacking from different sides. They confuse Abigail and at last, she lets go of Irye to deal with the flies.

Irye coughs and heaves as she crawls to Blake who's unconscious on the floor.

"Hey Blake"She shakes him. "Wake up.. Please. Wake up Blake!"she controls herself from tearing up.

Unfortunately, they escape and flow down her cheeks. "Please.. be alive"She begs as she puts her ear to his chest to check whether or not he is breathing.

After confirming he is alive, she takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes.

Before she could turn, she hears a scream. Quickly, she turns towards the direction and sees Evie on the ground with her hand clutching at her head.

Irye looks Abigail's direction and see Claude trying his all to fight.

It's like things have ended for Irye. She sees no hope anymore and she hates the feeling of helplessness. She's forgotten about how she can get rid of her mother.

The place becomes quiet to her while she seems to be lost in thoughts. She looks on as Claude struggles in Abigail's hands.

She watches as Abigail smirks while looking at her and pressing Claude's neck.

Evie's yells don't seem to get into Irye's ears. She just freezes in place as she watches her cousin being wringed his Abigail's hands.

Soon the voices become clearer and she comes to her senses. She looks around trying to find a way out.

Her eyes trail around the area and she spots the rusty knife on the ground near Blake. A thought comes into her mind. She suddenly remembers her hidden card, her blood.

Without thinking, she cut herself on the arm and hurriedly run towards Abigail. Abigail smiles widely as she sees Irye run to her.

"Come to your death Irye, come."She leaves Claude and stretches her arms.

Abigail had planned ahead to kill Irye once and for all. Wringing Claude's neck is all a part of her plan to get Irye coming after her without thinking.

Seeing her plan working perfectly, she laughs out loud and when she is off guard, Irye uses her bleeding arm to hug Abigail tightly.

Abigail looks down at Irye and begins feeling her body sting a little and as time goes on, it becomes more painful.

Abigail recognises what's happening. It's happened before and little did have think it will happen again.

She begins screaming and struggling to get out of Irye grip.

The more the blood touch her, the more Abigail's body burn and peel off.

Irye continues holding her tight even though she is losing a lot of blood. She can feel herself falling unconscious but still holds on.

After a while, Abigail's last parts of her body shred off and vanish into thin air.

Irye falls out of weakness as she little by little loose consciousness.
