Chapter 114

    The suspense is suicidal, " hi Reth" a familiar voice said from behind me, it was Athena I was confused Athena was standing close to me, why is she double?, " I am the real Athena look, don't trust her" the imposter said.

       Or maybe it's the real Athena. I was confused, " Reth watch out" Kailani said, it was her clone as well. There were many, is this what Artemis meant by level five demons, how do I spot the real Athena and kailani.

      "Reth where are you" a distant voice said, it was Athena, I could see three clones of myself, wait there are more, this isn't right, " I am over here" I yelled, another clone yelled, "I am right over here Athena, don't trust her".

      " Reth!" All the clones yelled, my heart skipped a beat, I needed to defeat, " Reth can you hear me?" A voice said inside my head, it was Athena, " kailani can you hear me?" I said inside my mind, " we are here" athena and kailani said.

    I felt relieved, " we are all here" the demons said, I stared at the clones, I had to kill them, one after the other, I closed my eyes. I have a Risky idea hovering in my mind, I held on to my dagger.

      Very tight, then stabbed a clone close to me, it turned to smoke, "phew it wasn't the real athena" I said as I exhaled, " yes kill them all" all the clones said, I don't know the real Athena or kailani I might stab the wrong one.

     " Let's think of something, what are we unique for? " Athena asked, " the sound you make when you shut up, ``Kailani said, I smirked. She always tells the best joke at the wrong time, " this is not a time for jokes. ``Athena said she was pissed.

     " The demons can read our mind, let's take that to their advantage," Kailani said. I observed everyone around me, there was no difference between me and the clones, it was like staring at the mirror.

       I looked at the crowd, they were all the same, I was tensed up, my time is going I don't have enough to waste, I have an idea "let's do what we love doing the most" Athena said, " there's no other option than to fight among ourselves" kailani added.

     My grip tightened on the dagger, never thought of fighting them, " it's for our family Reth, we can do this" kailani said, I was pinned to the ground instantly by kailani, she was holding an arrow in her hands, " die Reth" she said.

    I have no idea if it were the real kailani or clone, but I won't be defeated, I stabbed her legs and she feel down in pain, green liquid spilled out, now I know its a demon, " no mercy" I said, as I pounced on it, stabbed it continuously and repeatedly but it kept healing.

     Aim for the heart, Artemis said inside my head, I was thrown far from where I stood, the fight might be harder than expected, how do I get the heart of a strong demon,I am no demon fighter, I will use all that I have learnt.

    " What have I learnt, I was slapped hard across the face, I would have gotten a swollen face and a black eye if I were still in my physical form, how do I fight them when I return back to my physical form.

        All my tactics I used on the animal isn't working, there are no trees here, this demon Is in a human form, and it looks like kailani, no I wont be decieved, I just need to let my Imagination lead the way, the first demon I stabbed turned to smoke why?.

        No time for questions, the demon attacked again, this time I dogged thank goddess, I needed to dodge more often, I got punched really hard again, this time I felt pain all over, it was a weird kind of pain, I am not weak. I will take this demon down.

       I retaliated, I stabbed the demon on its shoulder. I knew it would heal but I can't help but imagine the things I would do to it, all I can do is imagine my way through this war, the demon screamed.

    I just started, all I can do with my dagger is stab, and I guess I am very good at it. I took my dagger from its shoulder then stabbed it's back. It was harder than it seems because I now have to be more flexible, well more than I should..

     " Inner peace" Artemis said inside, how do I find peace in time of war, I knew Athena and Kailani were finding it hard, they were in the midst of clones, battling themselves to death and here I am struggling with a demon.

     I felt a rush of anger engulf me, the demon held my neck so tight, it's hands were so strong, I refused to be held captive. I kicked it, hard, sending it backwards, " have you ever fought a black goddess?" I asked, it's silly but I have a plan.

     I haven't thought about it though but I think I should have a plan, act without thinking, my blows were dodged even before I made them because these demons can read minds, " silly human" the demon said.

   " You are afraid of your real form you ugly Bastard" I said and kailani's clone arched a brow,she immediately changed to get real form, phew I can see how demons really look like, it hurts me to know I was stabbing Kailani.

    But now I can do anything without being emotionally attached, " let your imagination lead the way" I said out loud, I ran towards the demons, with my dagger held above my head, I was screaming as I ran towards the demon aiming for the heart.

     The demon disappeared, before I could get to it, and I felt like a fool running and attacking the air, " now I know the reason why the previous demon turned to smoke.
