Chapter 14

We see Jasper and Scarlet standing in front of Tiffany as she stood manically smiling, ready to attack. The hunters stood by, ready to fight back. But she then bolted to Jasper and Scarlet at great speed with her claws ready to strike, but Jasper went ghost and became intangible. He grabbed Scarlet's hand as she became intangible as well, while Tiffany swung at them. Her hand phased through them as Jasper flew them both to the top of nearby building as they became tangible again. The hunters all attacked at once, but Tiffany quickly dashed into everyone and cut them down with her claws.

"Are you okay?" Jasper asked.

"I'm fine. But we need to stop her." Said Scarlet.

"I'll deal with her." Said Jasper, walked away from Scarlet.

"No, I wait—" Said Scarlet.

But Tiffany jumped up and onto the building's roof top. Jasper stood ready as she bolted to him, while he turned intangible. But Tiffany had ectoplasm energy emitting out of her claws and swung at his chest. Her claws left cuts on his chest as Jasper was shocked and surprised he could take damage. He quickly made distance and turned back to normal. But his chest started bleeding as he couldn't believe he was wounded.

"Like what I did?" Said Tiffany.

"How? Jasper's intangibility is nearly perfect. I'm one of the few people who can damage him in that form." Scarlet thought to herself.

"Let me guess. You used my brother's machine, didn't you?" Jasper asked.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY HIS NAME! And yes. My loves machine did this since it was my only chance to see him. But it was all in vain since I didn't get to see him. And as you can see, the same happened to me. But I think I'm way stronger than you!" Said Tiffany.

"Scarlet, stay where you are. Get help." Said Jasper.

"But you're hurt." Said Scarlet.

"Typical, Jasper. Making everything about you." Said Tiffany.

She then bolted towards him, while thrusting her claws at him. But Jasper leaned away on time as she quickly swung her claws at him like a wild animal and enjoy every moment of the fight. Jasper then covered his left arm in ectoplasm as he blocked her right claw. He then fired a blast of energy with his right as it hit her dead on. But she took the pain, while giggling manically. She dashed at him at a faster speed then before. She thrusts her claws at him again, but Jasper was shielded by a magic barrier as her claws didn't penetrate it. She turned and saw Scarlet with her wand out. Suddenly, more hunters arrived as they aimed their guns, weapons or readied their magic at Tiffany. She was surrounded as Scarlet ran to Jasper and looked at his wound.

"Freeze! Under the authority of the hunters, stand down!" A hunter demanded.

But Tiffany grinned, while quickly inhaling. Scarlet covered Jasper's ears and covered her ears with magic based ear plugs. She then screamed out like a banshee, hurting the hunter's ears as they all mostly bleed from their ears. Tiffany dashed into all of them, cutting and stabbing them down with her claws within seconds.

"Scarlet, lower your barrier and leave! I'm the only one who can hurt her." Said Jasper.

"But—" Said Scarlet.

"Just do it!" Jasper responded.

She didn't do as he said, until Jasper phased into the ground and went under her barrier as Jasper dashed towards Tiffany with his fists covered in ectoplasm. He was on the offensive, swinging his fist at Tiffany as she dodged his strikes. Scarlet placed her right index finger on her right temple, while her finger glowed from the tip. Meanwhile, back at the academy; Isaac, Violet and Marcus were at a concession stand. They were sitting together at a table as Marcus was eating a burger, Isaac was drinking a fruit smoothie and Violet was drinking out of a cup that had a lid with a straw.

"What's in that?" Marcus asked.

"My guess, blood." Said Isaac.

"It's a damn good bloody drink, it is. Nah, but its vampiric drink that mostly made of animal blood. Not as good as human blood, but it's not that bad." Said Violet.

"Does this mean you'll stop drinking from us?" Isaac asked.

"Never! Especially from you tall drinks of water." Violet replied.

"I was hoping for a better answer." Said Marcus.

"Same." Said Isaac.

"Guys!?" Said Scarlet, telepathically.

"Okay, did some drugged my cup!? Because I'm starting hear things." Said Violet.

"No, I hear it too." Said Marcus.

"Scarlet, is that you?" Isaac asked as he stood up.

"Yes! But listen to me! We're in trouble at the market!" Said Scarlet.

Isaac immediately pressed a button on his watch, while he, Marcus and Violet quickly made their way to the entrance of the school. They all also quickly finished what they were eating or drink and tossed into a nearby trash can, while Isaac's motorcycle arrived. Isaac and Marcus got on, while Violet followed and dashed off with them. Isaac was passing multiple cars on his bike and drove off at full speed, while back to the fight. Jasper was kicked int the face and he crashed into roof chimney as he slide down against it and onto the ground. He had been beaten up badly as Tiffany chuckled and slowly approached Scarlet. She tried aimed her wand at her, but Tiffany bolted up to her as she stopped her from raising her wand. Scarlet was deeply frightened and shook in fear as Tiffany leaned close to Scarlet's face.

"Aw, are you scared?" Tiffany asked.

"I'm not used to fighting monster like you." Said Scarlet.

"It shows. It's always the cute little girl who can't fight." Said Tiffany.

She then grabbed her by the throat and raised her up in the air, choking Scarlet. She was kicking her feet, while Tiffany smiled and chuckled manically in joy.

"You took away something I loved, Jasper. I don't know if you love or like this girl. But she seems really important to you. The way you talk to her. The way you look at her. Your both friends, right? Or is there something between you both?" Tiffany asked.

"Let her go!" Jasper yelled, while trying to get back up.

But she fired an ectoplasm blast at him, knocking him through the chimney. He was lying on his side, but still conscious. But Jasper forced himself to try to get back up, while Scarlet started to fall unconscious as Tiffany tossed her over the ledge of the building they were on. Jasper immediately turned intangible and flew through the building, diagonally and towards Scarlet. Once he was out of the building, he turned back to normal and caught Scarlet in his arms. He then landed hard on the ground with Scarlet on top of him, shielding her as he made she he took most of the fall.

"Scarlet…?" Jasper responded in pain, while trying to get back up.

But she immediately gasped and coughed for air. Jasper was relieved, until Tiffany was behind him and thrust her hand through his shoulder. Jasper screamed out in pain as Scarlet was shocked and Tiffany a bit disappointed.

"JASPER!" Scarlet screamed.

"Damn it. I missed your heart. I guess I got too excited." Said Tiffany.

She then pulls her hand out and kicked him on top of Scarlet. Jasper was bleeding onto Scarlet's clothes as she tried getting her wand.

"Jasper, h-hold on a second! I can heal you!" Said Scarlet.

"I'm…fine…this is…my problem!" Said Jasper, trying to get back up.

"You need to be heal, now!" Said Scarlet.

Tiffany giggled, while licking her fingers that were covered in Jasper's blood.

"You taste not that bad. But I preferred your brother. But you'll do for now." Said Tiffany.

Scarlet dry heaved, while Jasper had a disgusted look. He stood back up, but Tiffany dashed up to him and kicked him on the shoulder, where his wound was at. Jasper groaned out loud in pain as Tiffany giggled in joy.

"But let's see how your flesh tastes like!" Said Tiffany to Scarlet.

Scarlet quickly summoned her wand and fired a blast of fire at point blank. But Tiffany ducked down on time as the blast flew over her. She then grabs Scarlet from the neck again.

"Too slow." Said Tiffany.

She then pulled down on Scarlet's collar, showing her shoulder, and bit down on her shoulder. Scarlet screamed in pain, until a bullet hit Tiffany in the head. It forced her to released her jaw and her grip on Scarlet as she had blood on her mouth. Tiffany was about to attack, but Violet was already in her face, furious, as jumped and kneed Tiffany in the chin. She was knocked back, but recovered on her feet, while licking Scarlet's blood from her lips. Isaac and Marcus arrived as Marcus sniffled and immediately bolted to Jasper's scent. Violet stood in front of Scarlet as her eyes were tearing up from the pain. Isaac saw the both of them as he kept calm face, but his eyes were beyond rage.
