Alpha Blake novel Chapter 65

　　Carrie's sword ricochets back, sending her back and making her fall back. Her eyes widen in surprise. She glances back towards Selene's direction and her mouth gawks open in shock as she sees the glistened aura around Selene's body. 

　　"You! How dare you intervene between Selene and me? I told you to take over her body if given the consequence of her having the upper hand on me. Not the other way around."

　　"No more of this nonsense Carrie. I don't want to hurt you. End this quarrel, now. She's your own niece. You can't keep doing this! I won't let you. And I certainly will no longer help you." Her voice breaks for a mere moment. Fed up of putting Selene through many torturous events through their past. 

　　"You will do as I say! Or I will put your ass back where you belong. Or would you rather I talk to my brother Hades? You'll be a great collection to the small group he likes to personally torment." She smiles evilly at Amber, making her eyes widen.

　　Amber knows quite well what she is doing. She is trying to scare her. To get her to coward away and continue to do her dirty work for her. Just like Joseph had done with Selene. 

　　"No, Carrie. You will no longer use me. And I will no longer allow for you and Joseph to hurt her, EVER again. This is the last time you ever get to lay a hand on her and her brother. Your hatred towards your own family has bitter you to an extent that not even I would have dared to say. Your brothers would be disappointed in you Carrie." Amber tilts her head in shame and disgust, making Carrie sneer in anger. 

　　She had always hated the fact all of her siblings had great powers, and hers had been partially stripped away because of her mother, the day she was thrown out of the gods and goddesses realm.

　　"You bitch! I know what you're doing. But believe me, that if you so dare to defy me and work against me, I will make sure that you regret it. I will kill you again like last time. And this time, I will have fun torturing you slowly!" She reaches out for the katana on the ground and steadies herself to charge Amber.

　　Amber glares angrily back at Carrie, lifting her hand and making the katana fly across and landing directly on her hand, making Carrie gasp in shock as she stares at her own hand. "You bitch!"

　　She darkens her eyes. Lifts her head high and scrunched her nose, slowly, she gets the crystal out from her blouse.  She knows it will have enough power to kill both Selene and Amber as well. But she will have to find a way to kill Tyler and Blake if Joseph fails to do so.

　　"What the hell do you think you are doing? I am giving you one last chance to make up your mind, or I will make sure you end in limbo again you stupid witch! and this time, for good, you will have no way out. Do you understand me? Now do your damn job, and finish off Selene." Carrie stands to her feet, turns on her heel, and begins to walk away to grab Selene's katana on the floor. 

　　But before she can grip the katana off the floor, Amber uses her telepathy again, making the katana fly across the field and landing next to Blake's feet. He glances over towards the direction where the sword was tossed. His eyes widen in shock but quickly grabs the sword off the floor as he sees more vampires launching towards him. 

　　Carrie clenches her jaw, and slowly darkens her eyes to a deeper black than before, ready to use her magic for the first time against Amber in so long. "Don't you dare test me, you stupid which. I killed you once. I can do it again, and you know it." She sneers at Amber, making Amber become angrier. 

　　She's had enough of Carrie, enough of her orders, enough of her cruelty, enough of her.

　　Carrie charges towards her, her hands prompt before her as they glow with an immense amount of energy surging through her hands, ready to terminate Amber if she has to do so one more time.

　　But Amber, who had always been fearful of using all of her force and true potential, for the first time, is ready to confront her rightfully.  She grips the katana and using the same technique that was now second nature to Selene, she allows her power to run through the sword. 

　　Carrie charges her energy across, aiming directly towards the direction where Amber stands and hitting her target with great force. She is sure that Amber never saw it coming at how fast and efficient she is. Reminiscing on the first time she had killed her and stripped her of the crystal around her neck that had been given to her by the wizard Merlin himself.

　　The smoke cloud with energy surging through slowly begins to fade, bit by bit, she begins to see Amber on the other side and smiles as she imagines the big hole she probably created in the middle of her torso like the one before. Probably even bigger this time, since she used more power than last time she killed her.

　　She smiles, sure of herself that she has won victory again as the big surge of energy that her power created dims down with the cloudy smoke. As the smoke and electric-like currents dim down more and more, her face fills with shock, seeing Amber standing before her unharmed, but also unarmed. 

　　She narrows her eyebrows, eyes wide in shock and she finally feels a painful stab in her stomach. Not sure whether it's because of the betrayal or anger, but she has to be sure. Her hands slowly rise, and her energy feels completely drained. No more power in her being.

　　A cold shiver engulfs her. Slowly, she stares down her stomach as the pain becomes unbearable. Her lungs become heavy, and she has difficulty breathing,  her esophagus tightens by the intrusion of blood making its way out of her body and out her mouth and stomach, staining her combat gear and uniform.

　　No ONE had ever been successful in killing her. Or more like, no one had ever, even with their greatest power and force, had been successful in taking her down. Amber smiles. She had finally triumphed in taking down their biggest threat.
