Her face lit up with a sadistic smile as he pushed his claws into her throat, she let the pain linger a light then quickly pulled out a blade from her back and in a swift move, she cut his wrist.
Blood gushed out and he instantly released his grip, he growled at her but then she punched him on the side of his jaw.
"Is that all you've got, gluttony?"
She screamed at him and punched him in the face again, and again.
Her last punch pushed him a foot back. He was still feeling the effects of it when she ran up to him, leaped in the air and hit his jaw with her knee.
This almost knocked him out cold. The impact pushed him a few feet back into a tree that kept him from falling and he felt it rock his brain.
The green eye pulsed and released another blast at her but she jumped out of the way but the eye followed her with the green, Lazer-like beam that burned every thing it touched. .
It cut trees in half and set the bushes on fire. She ran away from it and hid herself, well in the shadow, in a way that he couldn't directly hit her.
Then it stopped, he felt drained and tired , then he ran into the shadow beyond the reaches of their camp fire .
"Anger is your weakness, gluttony!"
Her voice echoed out of the shadows, he could hear her but couldn't see.
He couldn't tell where her voice was coming from. He sniffed around for her, but she'd perfectly masked her scent, he looked around the woods searching for her like a beast after prey.
"Hey up here Dummy!"
He looked up to the tree
"Where are you!?"
He said in a deep growling voice
"This way"
She said softly
"Come this way"
He turned toward the direction of her voice and a blast from her gun hit him in the face.
He growled, his black face twisted with rage he was filled with deep hatred for her. He leaped up and in one jump he got as high as nine meters in the air.
He jumped in the direction of the blast hoping she'll be there, but as he got to the tree top, he felt something coming just behind him.
He turned and the sole of her boot landed on his face. The kick drove him against the tree, his face crashed against the hard wood.
She grabbed onto a branch as he fell, she smiled triumphantly but then, her eyes came back to life and swung his hand at her as he fell, he managed to grab hold of her ankle.
His reflex has improved, not bad.
She spoke with a childly enthusiasm, she wasn't alarmed, nor did it bother her much he had her ankles.
She raised her other leg and kicked him in the face, directly on the green eye,he shrieked in pain but then gripped her ankle with the other hand making it two hands.
She sighed, mildly annoyed by it but she still kept her grip tight on the branch.
War mothers are known to like a good challenge, so perhaps the prospect of fighting a raging monster, ten meter of the ground, without the use of her hands free and having the monster clinging to her leg was a challenge that made her excited and she smiled with a deep childlike glee as she look down at the monster.
He saw her smile and thought of it as a mockery, so he climbed up her long leg digging his sharp claws into her thigh, she didn't flinch. She gave him a hard kick going to break his grip.
He dug his claws deep into her thigh, trying to cause her pain. He looked deep into her eyes, they were cold and unfeeling they made him mad.
He wanted to make her feel the pain he was feeling, how could he avenge the death of his loved one if the killer had no fear of death or a feeling for pain.
It pissed him off. She raised her leg till it was over his head then she stumped down on his head, over and over again but he wouldn't let go. He dangled from her long leg and she looked down at him a bite annoy
"I'll show you pain, I'll avenge Estiah"
He opened his mouth, filled with razor sharp teeth and bit into her thigh and she smiled.
"You're really not bright, are you kid?"
She let go of the branch and they began falling. She was still willing to fight even when falling and in mid air. She drove down her elbow at the center of his head, crashing it against the eye and he shrieked in pain.
As they fell, they exchanged a series of blows, with her connecting the most but he had succeeded in driving one of his claws into her left eye, destroying it in the process, that gave him a temporary advantage, at least until it heals.
She didn't react much to him blinding her, she just made sure to bite off that finger but she unintentionally bit off three.
As they got close to the ground, he quickly attacked her blind spot, binding her arms with his own and pinning her head downwards.
She smiled as he watched the ground close in on her and she crashed head first with the weight of a monster on her back, her neck snapped.
He got off her body, she just laid there motionless, seeming dead, he looked down at her and roared in victory. Memories flooded his mind, he remembered when Mr Dunn had thought him that move to bind intruder to the farmer.
His rage didn't subside it welled and welled him and with her dead he didn't know what to do with it. With her dead he felt the hate for himself now,
"I could have protected them, I'm so useless."
"We could have made it to paradise, we could have been happy. But you went and blew it, it was you, you turned into a monster, you killed them all. "
"Hey baby!"
He heard her voice call to him. He turned and turned around and a blaster was in his face. She cracked her necked
"Nice trick, to ask for a full body massage next time, you really got my stress points"
She winked with her left eye, the one he had blinded and they pulled the trigger and shot him directly in the green eye.
He pounced on her and swung his claws but she dodged and shot him directly at the green eye. He swung again and she jumped back, making him miss coming and firing a couple shots directly at the green eye.
The eye began to look damaged and with it he became weakened, he charged at her but she fired at it.
He covered it with his hands, protecting it from her shots , he began to breathe heavily, showing signs of exhaustion.
She shot at his elbow damaging the joints and that arm fell. It became just one hand left. He knew what she would do next so she put all his energy in and lunged at her with one deadly attack in mind.
She was quick and even with his great speed she was still faster. She saw an opening as he lunged in for her, an opening to destroy the green eyed.
She pulled the trigger and then she realized made a grave miscalculation. The gun clicked, it was empty.
She saw his claws close in on her jugular but she leaped back narrowly recapping but his claws touch her and left a large wound on her neck.
He mindlessly went after her, she smiled. She ran in and kicked him in the groin, he dropped his head unconscious reacting to the hit then she grabbed his horns and pulled his head down. She leaped in the air and raised her knees upwards.
His forehead crashed heavily against her knee, the impact shattered the green eyes, he let out a growl as he moved a couple steps backwards.
He felt his strength leaving him, his horns broke off piece by piece and their roots regressed back into his skull, his skin turned paler and paler and the reds and blacks faded away, his claws broke off onto ash as he slowly regressed back to his original height and weight. Back to his original form.
But his rage was still there, he eyes still burned with them, he screamed at her
I'll kill you
Ran at her but the fatigue from his transformation hit him all at once and he fell unconscious just about when he was really close to her , he tripped and fell at her, landing against her thighs and lower body.
She looked down at him with complete indifference then she picked him up into her arms like a child, gave him her warmth. She fell as down on the grass, like a log and she closed her eyes, fell asleep
