Star Crossed In Time - Chapter 233

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER HAS A LOT OF BLOOD, GORE, AND DEATH.

Rage, unlike anything I’ve ever known rolls through me as I try to attack him but my body and magic still don’t want to listen to me! I manage to wiggle! Wiggle!! He smiles down at me and reaches out to touch my face. If I could, I’d bite his damn fingers off!!

His cold hand brushes the side of my face and my jawline as he says “You were always the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen but you’ve truly become like a goddess.” I sneer at him and try to pull my face away as I say “Don’t touch me!”

His eyes flash with a dark glint as he says “But you’ll let the Deity touch you? Tell me, how much has he touched you?” I grit my teeth and glare at him as I struggle to make a fist. Come on… Move! “Not going to tell me? That’s fine… I’ll get it from him when I skin him alive and drain him.” he says with an eager look.

My anger surges back to the surface as I growl “Don’t touch him! Don’t touch any of my family!” He looks at me with humor as he says “Family? Hahaha… How about this, After I kill them all… I’ll bring their heads back for you. You can keep them all with you then.”

“You can threaten me and even try to kill me but if you touch the ones I care about, I will personally drag you into the pits of hell and shred your soul out of existence!” I say with fury burning through my veins.

He looks mildly entertained as he suddenly says “You know what? For you, I’ll bring them back and let you watch me kill them. How about that? Hahaha… what are you going to do, Nova? You can’t move until I let you.”

Something in me snaps as my anger nearly consumes me. I feel my eyes begin to glow as the bodies above us start to move. “You sick freak! Mark my words… I will kill you!” I scream and watch as a blast of silver light comes bursting from me.

Eli goes flying and hits the ceiling of the cave were my power keeps him pinned. I grit my teeth and come to my feet as a violent wind whips my hair and dress around. My dress keeps sticking to my legs with all the blood so I quickly reach down and rip my dress up to my knees.

I throw the long dress to the side and glare up at Eli with glowing eyes. He looks at me with shock as he struggles to fight against my power. “Impossible! You can’t move!” I snarl at him and say “Surprise bitch!”

I use my power to slam him into the ground over and over for a solid minute! I then shove him up against the side of the cave wall and hold him there as I turn to face him with a glare. “You crossed the line when you threatened the ones I love. You made a huge mistake in coming here, Eli.”

“I’m not the same girl who had nothing and no one. I now have a family and people I love and that makes me stronger than you’ll ever be, you piece of shit.” I look up to the dead bodies and remember all the ghost I saw in that town.

They’re real and I can feel them here, wanting revenge for what he’s done to them. I look back to him and step a little closer as I say “You wanted to devour these poor people right?” He’s still trying to break free from my hold but he’s not strong enough.

Even his black magic struggles in the turbulent wind in the cave. Eli looks at me with twisted confusion as he yells “Release me! Now!” I smirk at him and say “I may not be able to see or speak to them but I can feel them…”

I’ve never done this before but I feel like it can be done. I close my eyes and make sure to keep Eli pinned as I start reaching for the blood that’s left in all his victims. There are hundreds of them… I begin pulling the blood to me. I don’t need much, just a drop or two from each one of them.

When I open my eyes again, I see hundreds and hundreds of red blood drops floating all around me, waiting for my command. The wind surrounding me kicks up, making my hair fly around in all directions but the blood never moves.

Eli’s ice-blue eyes watch me and for the first time, I see it. Fear. He’s scared and he should be. The more he struggles to get away, the more pain he’s in and judging by the look on his face, I’d say it was finally getting to him.

I call up the first line of blood drops and watch as they follow my command, instantly turning into thin but sharp needles. Eli’s eyes grow large with fear as he begins struggling so hard, I feel like he’s about to rip his own arms and legs off to escape.

“Eli, it’s time to pay for all the pain and suffering you’ve caused everyone but if I were being honest, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time,” I say in a calm voice. “Nova! Stop!” He yells but I’ve already released the first set of blood needles.

They hit him everywhere, causing him to cry out and strain until his face turns bright red. Even after the blood needles disappear, he seems to be in more pain as if the blood were acid. After a minute or so he finally relaxes and breaths hard, looking as if he’s about to pass out.

I calmly call another wave of blood drops and sharpen them just in time for Eli to look up and see. “Nova, enough! I’ll leave! I’ll leave and never come back! Just stop!” I remain silent as I send the next wave. As they hit him, he screams out so loudly, I feel like he may even lose his voice before this is over.

I wait again until the pain slowly eases and this time he’s begging and pleading for me to stop. He asks for mercy and on the tenth one, he’s crying. A small, and I mean SMALL, part of me feels like maybe I should release him but when I see all the dead bodies, I know I can’t do that.

He looks like an insane person as he goes through wave after wave but when I reach the very last set of blood needles, he looks like he’s on the verge of death but I know better. He’s lost his voice so even though he tries to say something, I can’t hear it.

I release the last blood needles and watch as something different happens this time. He starts convulsing like he’s been possessed and maybe he has but when blood starts coming out of every part of him, I realize the ghosts are killing him.

The blade hits him right in the heart as she still screams like a madwoman. What happened to her? Eli looks at her in shock, mouth wide open but unable to utter a sound. Blood is pouring out of Eli’s eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and even his pores as he looks at Xia with disbelief.

She’s still screaming and crying as she pulls the blade out and begins stabbing him over and over again. Eli dies but she doesn’t stop. I grit my teeth and wonder if I should step in and stop her or not but I decide to leave her. I can only ȧssume that something horrible has happened to her because of him…

After another minute or so, there isn’t a single clear space left on Eli’s ċhėst and stomach but she continues to stab him. I can’t watch anymore as his insides begin to fall out so I think about Bai Lei and quickly disappear. When I reappear, Bai lei quickly turns around with glowing red eyes.

Relief washes over his handsome face as he quickly pulls me into a crushing hug. It looks like they’ve killed all the beasts. His arms slightly shake from the fear of me disappearing but I feel an odd emptiness.

I thought that killing Eli would have set me free or made me feel better but I’m left with nothing but a large, fat nothing. “Are you okay? What happened? Did he hurt you?” Bai Lei asks pulling me back to look me over but I give him a small smile and shake my head no.

I step back into his arms and bury my face into his ċhėst as images of Xia stabbing Eli over and over until he’s ground meat flash in my head. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy he’s dead but his death will never change the damage he’s already inflicted. Not just on me but with others as well…
