asked,
terrified of the answer.
“I’m going to kill her,” Addie said while
pointing her gun at Tess.
Chapter Twenty-Five Battle to the Death
    “Too bad I can’t use my gun since I ran
out
of
bullets
yesterday,
defending
myself
against a timber wolf,” she said as she tossed it to
the ground.
Tess and I stood there in shock.
    How would she kill Tess? It’s like trying to
kill a vampire with a thumbtack, I thought to myself.
Tess stopped looking shocked and started
looking serious. “Let the battle begin,” she said.
This was going to be a battle to the death.
I stood back about ten feet.
No way was I going to be caught in the
middle of this battle and end up maiming myself,
or worse.
Tess bowed and announced, “Good luck,
and like they say in the Hunger Games, May the
odds be ever in your favor. ”
Addie nodded back.
Tess set her hair and hands on fire. But
this time the fire was bigger and brighter than
ever before. Her hair and hands were white, the
sign of truly hot fire. I was curious if
it
was
even possible to be this close to a white fire.
Addie stumbled back and fell for a second,
but got back up.
“I’m
going to burn
you
until
there
is
nothing left of you but ash,” Tess said.
So technically, she was going to cremate
her while she was still alive. That was a pretty
scary thought.
Tess could finish this with a single move
but I knew she wasn’t going to. That’s not the
way Tess works. She wanted Addie to suffer, and
beg for mercy. That’s why Tess loved the game
mercy. She never lost.
Addie charged at Tess.
A foolish mistake.
Tess grabbed her by the hand and threw
her over her shoulder. Addie’s hand was charred
after that. Even though she only made contact
with Tess for but a few seconds, her hand was
charred, and her left sleeve was aflame.
Even
after
that
happened; Addie
didn’t
give in.
She charged towards Tess again. Did she
even know what she was up against? This time
Tess planned on toasting her. She took Addie
by
the
shirt
and
threw
her
over
her
head,
roasting Addie’s back.
“Have mercy…” Addie began crying. “…
I only wanted you
to
feel
the
pain
I
went
through.”
Tess held her hand up and paused. “You
think
you’ve
had
a
rough
time?
We were
kidnapped from our school and thrown into
a
van
where
we
were
starved. Then
we went
into a
place
where
two
of
our
friends were
murdered. When we finally got away, we were
caught again and thrown into a cage where we
were tested on. Finally we got away again and
that brings
us here. So don’t tell us that you
went through a lot.”
With the hand she was holding up, she
shot white fire the size of a football out of her
hands and right into Addie. Addie started to
scream in pain, as she burned alive.
When there was nothing left of Addie
except
ash, (I was surprised the forest didn’t
start on fire) I took a vile t h a t
I had in my
jacket, (I honestly don’t know why I had one)
and put her ashes in it. I t h e n wrote on it:
Addie Xconveret: a cop who died in action .
    Tess
put
herself
ground,
and
started
to
out, dropped to the
cry out; “It
was selfdefense; she
was going to kill me. She didn’t
deserve to die, but I couldn’t leave any evidence
that I was the one that killed her.”
I put my arm around her. It will all be
over soon, or so I hope.
     
Chapter Twenty-Six Hitch-hiking
    We got up and started walking. That weird
encounter wasn’t going to stop us from getting
back home. No way.
    A few minutes later we entered a city. I
looked at s o m e
o f
t h e
s i g n s . We
were
in
Pittsburgh.
“If we hitch-hike somehow…” Tess began.
    “No, just no!” I replied. Hitchhiking was
a scary thought.
All
the
stories
I’ve
heard
about
hitchhikers never end well. Either the hiker died,
or the driver.
“Maybe
if
we
could
borrow
someone’s
phone, we could call home,” s he offered. That
was actually a really good idea.
We went up to a nice looking man. He
looked like he couldn’t do much harm.
But then again,
