bleed."
Elsi took that moment to remove her Wisp again while Tenuxhal taunted her.
At least now his clothes were as tattered as her own. One sleeve was completely gone, exposing her bra. The back of her dress was barely holding together. Clearly she needs to rethink how much energy to imbue into her clothes when she got home. Maybe ask Olivia to help as well.
Tenuxhal flicked his hand clean of blood and growled. Rhoads was trying to piss him off. The way she kept choosing to fight without her Wisp, pulling it on and taking it off at random... it was an open insult to the knight.
Tenuxhals' rage was palpable, an ugly frenzied thing exploding with a life of its own now, feeding on his adrenaline, the blood and the pain, consuming him until all he knew was the screaming of his demonic soul. He was going to cut her, bruise her, bleed her, break her... Watch her struggle, hopeless and defeated at his feet... Then blast her into oblivion.
Elsi watched in alarm as the last of Tenuxhals's thin veil of control finally cracked. There was mayhem in his eyes. And it was a race as Elsi reached deep inside her heart for her Wisp once again, the knight determined not to let her pull it on this time. If the bitch was going to play games with him, then he was going to fuck her up six ways to Sunday. Tenuxhal teleported forward, grabbing a sharp edge of the staff that swung out to greet him, ignoring the lance of pain as it bit into the softer skin of his palm. It wasn't deep at all, barely a scratch, and the small annoyance was more than worth it to get at the woman.
Elsi swore as her attention was split between reaching for her Wisp and trying to fend off the attack with her staff. Weapon pushed aside, the knight collided with the witch and they both tumbled to the ground, rolling in a tangle of limbs along the unbroken pavement until they came to a sudden stop, Elsi thoroughly pinned beneath the man.
Elsi glared fire into Tenuxhal's eyes in the fading light. Those eyes. Liquid silver and full of hatred. Every line of their owner's body screamed savage and feral. Tenuxhal returned the humans look twice over and growled with a predatory hunger that he could not have contained even if he tried.
There it was. There was that fear he'd been looking for.
Hazel eyes widened as the witch started to squirm underneath the demon, struggling almost frantically to grasp Tenuxhals' hands in order to keep herself from being blasted or pummelled into the asphalt by those fists... again. And suddenly, she had them both in her hands, muscles flexing as she pushed against the weight of the knight. For a split second, Elsi felt the smallest sense of relief, but ass she watched the grin spread across Tenuxhal's face, reaching up into those malevolent silver eyes, she realized that her small victory had been won far too easily.
Tenuxhal laughed once, short, sharp, and then he head butted her. Concussion, coma, broken neck...
He didn't care. This piece of shit was dead. She just didn't know it yet.
Elsi bit her tongue as her head bounced once off of the hard concrete, and gasped as pain lanced through her skull from both sides, the coppery taste of her own blood filling her mouth. The beast above her instantly split into two, and Elsi shook her head to clear her vision and rid herself of Tenuxhal's double. One was enough, thank you.
She released her grip on one of Tenuxhal's hands and pushed up abruptly against the other. One hand freed unexpectedly, Tenuxhal lost his balance and toppled off of Elsi, and they both scrambled to regain their footing. Tenuxhal was faster. He grabbed an unstable Elsi by her curly brown hair, hauling her upright, and struck her closed-fisted across the face, all the force of his grudge behind the hit. A strangled sound and a spray of blood from a split lip were Tenuxhal's reward, and he began to laugh shrilly.
He had so much more to say to the witch, and he expressed his feelings towards Elsi with another savage swing, the
