Lilith the skinwalker (4)

she froze stiff as the adrenaline-spiking sound of hisses and rattle noises grew close. the beast which easily towered over a bus approached them with each of its seven heads baring its horrendous fangs at Leon, the stench making her give and heave but she wouldn't puke, instead she slowly shielded herself behind Leonard shutting her eyes closed as tightly as she could, she couldn't bare the sight of asher impaled brutally suspended in the air while he gasped for air.

"Tsk, you have such a troubling power young witch," one of its heads twisting and wriggling staring at the impaled boy spoke, momentarily distracted, Leonard with the use of magic launched a blazing fireball at the skinwalker. It smashed violently into one of its heads setting it ablaze earning a loud blood-curdling scream from it as it staggered backward releasing its hold on the double-edged spear dropping asher to the ground.

With its head ablaze, the beast's screams were shrill and deafening blending with the violent thundering in the sky, it made evelyn shudder in fear while in quick steps Leonard ran towards asher who lay sideways motionlessly on the ground with a spear sticking through his flesh, it was a horrific sight, still, Leonard remained composed and unfazed.

"Pull it out," Asher pleaded in a raspy tone wincing in extreme pain, It blew up his head with a terrifying blankness while he struggled for consciousness, it was nauseating, the pain felt like a hot, sharp burning rod, covered in salt and pepper slicing through his skin and into his tender muscles and bones, as though his leg had been frozen and a bolt of lightning had struck his body from head to toe, he couldn't move afraid it might only worsen the pain.

"A little pipe penetration and you act all weak?, how disappointing," Leon teased shaking his head in disappointment.

"Fuck you," Asher spat at him, was he seriously comparing his situation with sex?, was there really no limit to pissing people off with Leon?

"Ah!, there's the virgin I know," he said with a wink before placing his hands on the spear, "This is gonna hurt,"

"On the count of three," asher said taking deep breaths,

One!

Two!

Th...

"Fuck!" he screamed out loud in pain as Leonard before the completion of the three count had pulled out the spear in one go,

"Stop acting like a little girl, up on your feet," he said with a smile earning a glare from asher who muttered curses at the dark-haired boy before healing his open wounds.

"Leon where is it?," Evelyn asked hunching her shoulders while she shook like a leaf terrified of the beast which was no where to be seen, as though it had suddenly disappeared,

"Get behind me!," Leonard half yelled pulling her behind him

"Above you!" Ahser yelled getting on his feet, quickly both Leon and evelyn turned their gaze upwards stunned beyond words to find the once serpent-like beast soaring in the darkened sky with bat-like wings, the thundering in the sky made its appearance all the more frightening.

"She has wings, how...how is that possible?," he stuttered his words looking at Leonard for answers

"It's the skinwalker," he heard the voice of another and in shock, he turned back both surprised and relieved to find Jeremy alongside his sister behind him.

"There's no mistaking it, that creature simply doesn't exist, it has to be the skinwalker," Jeremy said with a frown

"Impossible!" Both Siblings exclaimed in shock

"It isn't, Jeremy is right, that witch was revived from the dead, my best guess is by Alexander," Leonard said with a chuckle, "She only shows up a few days after my blood was taken by alex, it couldn't simply be a coincidence, also judging from her obsession with my power I'm guessing my blood was somehow able to awaken her from the dead,"

"Why would Alexander resurrect her?," Scarlett asked with a frown, she always knew darkness and deceit lied behind his harmless smile still this was too much to process, besides what possible could the elder simply have to bring back the infamous dark witch, the skinwalker from the dead?

"Leon...Evelyn's..." Asher said in panic noticing Evelyn's white eyes and her trance-like state, he could already tell what was coming next

"Shit!" Leon cursed, preparing to cast a protective shield spell evelyn like before let out a chilly and deafening scream which sent everyone besides her flying meters from her position, asher, and Jeremy crashing into a nearby tree dislocating their bones on impact while she fell unconscious to the ground.

"Someone is going to die," Scarlett said getting on her feet, spitting out a chunk of blood, she knew what her scream meant, sadly the girl had passed out before warning them of whose death was to come

The flying beast stunned by her scream quickly descended to the ground folding its long and broad wings while approaching the unconscious girl, standing between her and the girl she stopped in her tracks hissing at the boy who stood protectively with his gaze stern.

"A banshee?, I haven't seen her kind in ages,Aren't they supposed to be extinct?" It was about to continue it's step when it was suddenly stabbed by dozens of arrows sticking out it's back, and letting out a loud roar it turned backward at Scarlett who stood at a branch on a tree with a bow and arrow held elegantly in her hands while her fiery red hair swayed rhythmically by the wind, she looked fierce, beautiful and breathtaking like the mythological goddess Athena.

PS: The skinwalker is knowledgeable of the banshees extinction by taking bits of the memories of Alexander.
