The Bloody Battle

Astrid POV

WARNING: This chapter may be a little gory and graphic. Honestly, I don't think it's that graphic but enjoy :)

I felt a gust of wind, the battle taking place around me. I watched my father closely as he circled me. I put up my fisted hands remembering what Cohen told me. I wanted to smack that stupid smirk off his face.

Blow after blow was sent to my body and I tried to keep up as best as I could. He lunges at me with his deep claws coming so close to my bare skin, but I moved away just in time.

I kept my eyes open, my vision becoming sharper. With the little energy I had left I slammed my fist into his face. His large body wobbled back from the blow "you little witch, you really shouldn't have done that" he mouths.
