The final showdown
"Heath? What the f- are you doing?" Jacklyn yelled.
"Why are you petty children following me around like lost sheep. Didn't you learn from your last lesson!? I almost killed you, Scarlett! In fact, I could have killed all of you if I really wanted to." Heath gobbed,
"Then why didn't you!?" Ash gobbed back.
"Because little Ashy the so mighty hybrid, where would the fun be in that. Beating you all in a fight and slowly just sounds so much more appealing to me than killing you right there. I need some fun in my life rather than standing around all day, I'm not exactly a spring chicken. I would of at least expected Scarlett to have learnt that. I have to say though it's a miracle how you actually managed to recover from those wounds." Heath explained and proceeded to disarm the gun.
"Heath. Enough! I healed just barely if you must know. I must admit it is weird how you didn't kill me. What was your plan? To leave me bleed out? You could have made sure I had died but you didn't. You fled, Why? Unable to? didn't want too? Well, I figured it out. You knew if you had killed me, Jacklyn and Ash would have come after you in my vengeance and to you that wouldn't have been fun because you want to take all three of us on, not two, you enjoy hurting people and then letting them suffer. Don't get me wrong they can put up a fight. They practically ripped each-other to shreds once, but you knew if you let me live we'd all come back in rage and here we all are. You did what you did to make sure we all came back to fight you again, so you could finish us all off once and for all. Tell me I'm wrong, cause I know I'm not. " Scarlett said,
Heath chuckled to himself.
"Clever aren't you little Missy. I must say, you're not as dumb as I thought, you are a lot smarter than your peers" Heath laughed.
"No Heath, It was merely figuring out your actions, Scarletts no pansy, she won't back down from a fight. So with her intelligence and determination, she figured it all out. Here we are." Jacklyn added.
"Here we have the o' so lovely betrayal daughter of mine. Ahh yes, Beauty and strength but utter betrayal much." Heath cocked.
Jacklyn scoffed and you could start seeing her purple and blue veins appear under her skin.
"Oh shut it. It wasn't that hard to even figure out why you would come here. The hunter's mansion would have been way obvious for you to hide there while we search for hours, But you knew, if you hid there we would find you a lot quicker than you hiding here. Though you did a pretty good job of hiding even here. I must say, you did a good job of hiding away from the naked eye. Scarlett and Ash both recalled an abandoned place where Scarlett once did her hunter's training with both you and Manson. Which you probably thought one, she'd never come back here or two, she has forgotten. We all came to the conclusion you would want to end it where it had all started. Here." Jacklyn explained pointing to the ground,
"Well, Aren't you little miss perfect eh?" Heath with an attitude.
"Nope. I just simply listen, put pieces together and think smartly." Jacklyn said with an attitude and a smirk spread across her face.
"I really have to admit. All of your intelligence really does surprise me, Truly. You managed to figure it out. Good for you, But still, I managed to pull a gun out and none of you even suspected that. Letting your guard down much. A hunter is meant to have their guard up all the time. Surely you could have sensed me, at least you, Scarlett." Heath said
Instantly there was a noise of a blade being pulled from a scabbard and the noise of the case hitting the floor. Scarlett had swung her Katana up to Heath's neck, Point almost poking his neck.
"You mean like that?" Ash laughed to himself,
"Heath, stop," Scarlett said firmly shaking her head.
"Scarlett has incredibly fast reactions. Its kinda almost impossible to predict what she is going to do. Don't underestimate any of us. We all have strong points and weaker points." Jacklyn added afterwards.
"Don't push it. Plus, None of you can nearly get up to the strength and standards I'm at" Heath laughed removing Scarlett's blade from his neck.
"Doesn't mean we are not going to try to at least beat you. Better yet, Kill you" Jacklyn added.
Scarlett back up and grabbed Jacklyn and Ash and dragged them back with her.
"Heath, Enough is enough. I, Jacklyn and Ash are going to take you on! You nearly killed me. Threatened to murder us three and have a big cocky mouth. So enough talk let's settle this. Let's see if you are this big all-mighty hunter you think you are." Scarlett said with a very strong attitude.
"Bigmouth and a small brain just like your father, You let that "Legendary " title get to your head too much. How did that work out for him? He died. Whatever have it your way little vampire" Heath said.
"You seem to forget I have the title of the legendary hunter, you don't." Scarlett cocked back.
In a flash, Heath had pulled out his sword from the case and flung it around like it was some sparkler on fireworks day. In a flash, Scarlett had counteracted the full blunt swing that Heath tried attacking her with. Jacklyn turned to Ash and they slowly took a couple of hesitant steps back, Ash looked at Jacklyn then back to Heath and Scarlett who were crossing blades. The area filled with scraping noises from the blades and clashing noises from them smashing against each other. Jacklyn pulled out a pistol from her pocket very carefully and quietly. She aimed it at Heath and shook as she tried to pull the trigger and then suddenly she jolted back. Jacklyn pulled the trigger and the bullet penetrated Heath's shoulder.
"Son of a- Woah, that's low. " He yelled as he gripped his arm, glaring towards Jacklyn.
"Nice shot" Ash whispered to Jacklyn.
Scarlett was too deep in the moment to realise Heath had been shot in the shoulder by Jacklyn. Scarlett had swung her blade directly at Heath who attempted to counter her blade with his and just barely escaped with deep bleeding wounds on his face and a bullet wound in his shoulder.
"Who the f- are you people? and why are you suddenly stronger than last time?" Heath yelled as he dug into his shoulder to pull the bullet out.
"Well, I'm Ash, She's Jacklyn and she's Scarlett" Ash mocked.
"Correctly speaking, I'm a vampire and hunter. Jacklyn is a werewolf and well Ash he is a hybrid, vampire wolf hybrid. Ya know, we're all pretty normal." Scarlett also mocked.
"Heath, why are you attacking us? What did Scarlett do that was so awful?" Jacklyn asked cautiously,
"You. You are cursed, you are not my child. Him? He killed Tate and her... That monster, that monster killed Manson. Now I'll kill her and give her the fate she had always deserved." Manson snapped furiously.
Scarlett shook her head. But tried to fight back the laughter that was trying to seep out through her mouth. Manson went to attack Scarlett but Ash jumped in the way and bit Heath deeply.
"Mutt, Get off me," Heath yelled trying to sling Ash off him.
"See, we may not be as weak as you think we are. Seems we can do some damage to you" Scarlett shrugged.
Ash swung at Heath with his claws right across his chest leaving three lines slashed through his shirt followed by three cuts under them.
"Ash careful, He makes you think you'd attacked him and that he's weak but then he gets you when you least expect it" Scarlett added.
"We have to kill him," Ash said out of breath.
"Kill me? Your joking right. Look at Scarlett, I almost killed her and she's the strongest out of all of you. What makes you think you can kill me?" Heath questioned.
"Well, uh, That?" Jacklyn said and pointed towards his chest.
"Sh- I have to give you credit, I didn't even notice you had slashed me open Ashy boy, Good for you. Now you've just entered my book to be killed, along with your little girlie here." Heath said looking at the blood dripping from his body.
Scarlett and Jacklyn both nodded at each other. Ash slowly backed up away from Heath and slowly walked to the side of the girls while Heath was trying to gain his balance.
"I think I have a plan" Scarlett mumbled to Jacklyn while clenching her sword tighter.
