Is this the end?

"Scarlett, What do you mean? Who is he?" Ash questioned.

"Ash, You honestly don't want to know. Seriously, Leave, Or you'll die. I swear." Jacklyn said firmly.

"Ash, Seriously, you need to listen to Jacklyn. You do not want to know who this is. it's for your own safety that you leave this room." Scarlett followed after Jacklyn.

The lights soon flickered on without anybody moving. Heath was now visible to everyone. Heath approached Scarlett cautiously and stood about four maybe five foot away from her, Jacklyn was behind him like a shadow. She suddenly stopped when she noticed Ash picking up Scarlett's Katana and handing it back to her. Scarlett moved her lips in unspoken words of "Thank you". Ash backed up slowly to the corner and stayed put, out the way of the heated action that was about to take place.

Heath appeared around the age of 34. Male and super tall of a height of 6'5". He was from the western part of Australia you could tell by his incredibly strong accent. He had a mixed length of dreadlocks, some reaching his mid-back, some reaching his collar bones or elbows. . He had tattoos and on his face was eyebrow and septum piercing and a tongue piercing. In Heath's left ear was three basic lobe piercings filled and his right was three-lobe and three cartilage all studs as well.

"So. You must be Ash. The famous Hybrid correct? The lover of one of the most famous hunter legends right? Yeah, you could say I've done my fair share of research on all of you and thanks to Jacklyn I feel like I know you too much already and we haven't even properly introduced ourselves yet." Heath laughed.

"You bet I am," Ash said firmly as he proceeded to walk forward to where Scarlett was.

"Ash. Don't. You'll make things worse. Just stay there, I've got this." Scarlett snapped.

Ash paused and nodded then slowly drifted back to where he was originally standing. He knew Scarlett wasn't kidding about everything she was saying. Scarlett slashed her sword through the air a couple of times and ran her fingers down the blade then gave herself a quick smile.

"Feels good to have you back in my hand," Scarlett said to herself,

"I have a question for you all. Who killed Manson and Tate? do you know? Hunter girl?" Heath asked.

"It's Scarlett to you and yes I do. I know both of the people, one killed Manson and the other killed Tate. Kind of like a team effort you could say but, that's none of your business is it. " Scarlett replied,

"Smart arent you little girl" Heath gobbed,

"Are you still furious at your stepdaughter because she is a curse? You cannot control her life, Nor lift that curse, We've even tried. Deal with it, Heath." Scarlett snapped.

"Don't get all smart remarks with me girl. You forget your place and who you're talking to. Since Manson and Tate are now dead. I'm in charge around here so I can easily strip you of your title and you know that I will, So shut it, girl. Now, Who killed Manson? Who killed Tate?" Heath cocked back.

Scarlett looked at Ash who was stood in the corner. Ash was shaking his head begging her not to tell. Scarlett turned her attention back to Jacklyn and Heath. Jacklyn was also shaking her head. Scarlett sighed and lowered her sword.

"Scarlett? are you okay?" Jacklyn asked walking up to Scarlett putting a hand on her shoulder.

"You want to know who did it?" Scarlett asked.

Heath stood there unamused and unphased, he was just staring at Scarlett.

"You should know Heath. Manson and Tate both nearly tortured me to death. So, Ash killed Tate for that. He actually critically injured them both. But, Tate suffered the most and he died from his injuries. Manson? I did him in. What was the point in getting rid of one for torture when they were both in on it? so I was one hundred percent allowed to kill him, My own trainer, Master, Whatever. He was surely going to kill one of us soon. So I did it before he could do it to one of us. There, I told you." Scarlett explained.

Heath stood there, Laughing to himself. He soon stopped and grinned to himself. In a flash, he had wielded the same sword as Scarlett. A Katana but instead of a white ribbon stained, he had a Black one. Not an imperfection was seen. Scarlett's sword was woven with black leather on the hilt but Heath's was white with black diamonds in between. Scarlett ignored that fact that she has wounds and Instantly had grabbed Jacklyn and practically threw her behind her next to Ash and had counteracted Heath's attack with her Katana.

"Scarlett!" Jacklyn exclaimed.

"Don't worry I'll be okay" Scarlet reinsured while counteracting every blow Heath was attacking with.

"Heath stop it! Why are you attacking! Leave her alone." Jacklyn yelled.

"You killed Manson! How could you! Evil! Psycho! You disgust me. Why did I ever let Manson train you." Heath snapped.

"As I told you, he tried killing me. Heath, I don't want to kill you, Stop this." Scarlett said.

Heath proceeded to attack Scarlett while Ash and Jacklyn were staying well back from the fight. Heath lifted his sword in the air and swiped it down. Scarlett went crashing to her knees struggling to fight against his force. She knew this was going to be a challenge.

"Guys! You need to go." Scarlett snapped.

"Scarlett? What about you? We can't leave you here alone with him." Ash asked,

"I said go!" Scarlett yelled back.

Jacklyn nodded as she knew what was going to happen or what could happen and she knew Scarlett didn't want Ash there to see it. Jacklyn grabbed Ash by the arm and ran on the outside of the room and safely reached the door. Ash turned his head to see Scarlett on her knees, in pain and still trying to counteract Heath's attacks. Jacklyn continued to pull Ash and he began running behind her, They reached the hallway and exited the house and stood on the path. Ash sighed and sat on the steps.

"Do you think she'll be okay? Ash questioned,

"Honestly, I really don't know. They're both hunting legends. Who knows but, we have to trust her and stay out here as she asked. I'm sorry Ash. I should have told you guys. When he disappeared to go off and hunt I thought he died and wasn't coming back. I didn't think that he could have heard about Tate and Manson's dead. Let alone return here." Jacklyn explained

"Nah, It's alright. None of us would have guessed that. How does Scarlett even know him? Surely Scarlett of all people would of sense his return and told us or something. Gosh, She has so many secrets" Ash said.

"She's a hunter. She'll know him from ages back, He trained Manson then Manson trained Scarlett. So Manson must have also known he was alive. Scarlett only has so many secrets to protect us all. I can't believe she came in to find me. She cares for us all, she is fighting for what she believes in. For us, I'm not leaving without her. She is my best friend. We need to listen to her and trust her." Jacklyn smiled as she slouched next to a tree.

"I guess you are right." Ash agreed with Jacklyn.

Back in the basement, Heath and Scarlett were still crossing blades. Scarlett had made her way to her feet. There were scrapes on their perfectly finished blades followed by cuts and bruises on their bodies. Blood covered the floor.

"Why are you so damn stubborn girl?" Heath snapped.

"That's one of my greatest qualities. I fight for what I believe is in right. You trained me before Manson did, So, Why are you fighting me. I have the same skills as you, the same fighting skills and quality, I'm just like you Heath." Scarlett explained.

"Are you still blood drinking?" Heath asked.

"You bet I am. I wouldn't stop drinking just cause someone asked me to, I am hunting, I am blood-drinking. I am a vampire who hunts their own kind. I kill those who kill others or hurt others or hurt those I care about. I don't just hunt vampires, I hunt all beings who do wrong." Scarlett cocked.

Then there was a sudden crash followed by a bang. Jacklyn and Ash could hear it from outside.

"What the heck was that? Did you also hear that?" Jacklyn yelled as she threw herself to her feet,

Ash got up off the stairs and looked at Jacklyn with a serious expression. They both ran back into the house regardless of what Scarlett had said. They ran all the way into the basement. Jacklyn halted to a stop in doorway way and Ash soon crashed into the back of her.

"S-s-sc-carle-t-t-t?" Jacklyn stumbled.
