Chapter 231 Fight(4)
"You're getting cocky. You tried to jump me? And you thought that it would work?" Alaric laughed as he shook his head. He looked down at Melina. "I could snap your neck, but I bet that soul of yours is delicious."
Melina tried to struggle, but her strength was sapping. She weakly reached up toward him, managing to brush her forefinger against his forehead.
Alaric gave her a confused look before he coughed. He acted like he was wheezing, fighting for breath.
"What is this?" he gasped out, his grip on her loosening.
Melina slammed her hand against the arm holding her captive, knocking his grip completely loose so that she could jump away from him. She turned, lifting her hands to conjure up another spell, but Alaric was ready for her.
Alaric waved his hand, tossing her back into a wall.
The back of Melina's head struck the wall before she slumped to the ground, not moving.
As everyone else ran at Alaric, he slammed his fist against the ground, sending a ripple through the air that threw everyone back. He took that opportunity to dart out of the side door, escaping the fight.
Elias could only breathe through his pain for a few moments. He stared up at the ceiling, which slowly spun ahead of him. He blinked a few times before lifting his head, seeing that Alaric was gone.
He cursed beneath his breath, wondering how they lost another fight just like that. Alaric was so powerful, and it was so hard to have his head completely in the game when he was worrying about losing his friends.
"Mel? Mel!" Tyler's voice sounded somewhere nearby.
Elias pushed himself up into a sitting position, looking around until he saw Tyler hovering over Melina, who still wasn't moving.
Fear struck him in his heart, prompting him to stumble to his feet and hurry over to Tyler and Melina.
"What's wrong? Why isn't she awake?" he asked.
Elias moved to crouch near Alyssa. He reached out and placed a hand on Melina's shoulder, feeling relief flood through him when he realized that she would probably be alright.
It would take more than a bump on her head to stop Melina, especially when it came to Alaric. She was devoted to this fight more than anyone else that he knew.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked her. He felt disappointed about what happened, but he was just glad that Melina was okay. For a moment there, he thought that he lost her.
He didn't know what he would do if he lost Melina. He wasn't sure if he could continue the fight, but he knew that he would have to for her.
That would be what she would want him to do, and she would do the same thing if he was killed first.
"My head hurts," Melina murmured, looking weak and tired. "Alaric escaped?"
Elias frowned slightly and nodded.
"Yeah, he's gone," he replied. They would have to try to find him all over again, and he wasn't looking forward to their next confrontation.
He was tired of being beaten and pushed around by one guy, but that guy just happened to be a powerful demon. There wasn't much that he could do.
"Thanks to Elias and his genius plan. Good job almost getting your sister killed," Scott spoke up from the pew. He gave Elias a disgusted look before storming out of the church.
The others fell silent as they looked between the church door and Elias, waiting for the tension to finally break or settle.
Elias tightened his jaw, anger flaring through him. He couldn't believe that Scott had the nerve to talk to him like that. He wasn't going to get away with it.
They were supposed to be a team, and he was tired of letting Scott steamroll him in front of the others.
He deserved at least an ounce of respect for trying to help the world, whether Scott agreed with his methods or not.
"I'll be right back," he replied before storming after Scott, expecting anything but a pleasant chat.
