Spoiler Alert: Everyone Dies!!…

*Take no shit, give no fuck and cause infinite damage!!...*

**Proserpina's POV**
I hit the water, crashing into it with such a deadly force it stole my breath and hammered every inch of my body. The water filled my screams, and darkness consumed me as I floated weightlessly to the bottom. I realized that Hades had failed to save me and that death might have been visiting me.
"Kora...Kora..." I heard my name spoken by Hades over and over in my mind, like a desperate prayer, by a desperate man praying desperately to the Gods to save me. But I feel that God abandoned us long ago, and perhaps it's time for eternal goodbye.
I was just about to close my eyes and embrace the other side, but a sharp voice of something hit my ears. My eyes snapped open and affixed on a shiny object lying on the floor.
My magical dagger!
'The dagger that will work magic if I desired so." The words of my mother echoed through my mind. Its hilt slipped apart and exposed a small hidden mirror. It was just a simple, plain mirror, but it looked weird. The words like cursed, unholy, thirsty for blood and condemned to death came to mind while looking at it.
But none of that was as scary as the face of the woman staring back at me.
My reflection!
It was of a black-dressed woman with a scarred face and pitch-black eyes. She was convulsing profusely like a retard in a trance and chanting a foreign language that sounded like an ancient, long-forgotten one.
"Wh...who ar..are you?" the words barely escaped my lips as a cold shiver crept up my spine. She paused and then looked at me with those evil days that had the power to suck the life of their enemies. Then, with a calm yet deadly smirk, she leaned forward as if afraid that someone might listen to our conversation. She looked around to check if it was safe to talk and then moved her black lips to form the words, "Don't you think you should wake up and save me?"
At this, I swallowed hard, pushing the gulp down my throat as if I was pushing down a piece of hot lava.
"Wh...what do you mean?" I asked fearfully.
"Kill them all!" She snarled. Her voice was hard and unyielding. It sounded furious and spoke only of revenge. It sounded like a threat and warning, all wrapped in one. And more importantly, it was the one that had the power to make to bring out a force that had been hidden and lay dormant in the darkest corners of my body. I felt as if I had been possessed or something.
My fingers started curling around the chains as the talons grew off my nails, sharp enough to rip down the fucking rope that tied my feet. Once my feet were free, I jumped hard enough and placed them on the wall of the well. Then with a sharp jerk, I ran up the wall gaining more momentum the higher I got. Then when I reached the top of where my arms were bolted, I used every ounce of strength I had to flip backwards, kicking off the wall and snapping the wooden post and the link. I landed on the floor with only my hands linked by a chain. I snapped it like a thin thread and grabbed my dagger. The moment I touched it, it started to pulsate as if it held a beating piece of heart inside it. It felt as if it had been communicating directly to me.
I pushed my feet to move to the surface and controlled my movements to be discreet, as I did not want to alert anyone. I found a small tunnel just below the surface, so I decided to move that way and then surprise my enemies.
The tunnel ended up in a crumbling cell block that looked ruined. I exited the block and followed a cracked stone path, holding the dagger in a death grip by the handle, knowing I would need it soon. I slipped the curled razor-tipped dagger into the waistband of my dirty panty with the gritting of my teeth. I walked through the arched walkway scattered with piles of stones of the damaged statues.
I walked over to the courtyard near the cage where Hades was locked.
"Kora...Kora..." Hades' spoke when he saw me. The two sets of emotions were running through his mind...one was a relief for seeing me alive...and the second was fear.
"Run away...please." he pleaded, but I was not in the mood to oblige.
"I am not the one to run away, not when you are at the mercy of enemies. Not before they all get what they deserve," I told him sternly.
"But you can't fight them." he pleaded.
"Do you trust me?" I asked. His face seemed shocked, but his eyes saw something in me, and he silently nodded.
And like a damn queen, I straightened my back, thrusting out my chest and moved towards the bailey. The moment I faced Estrella, and saying she was shocked was an understatement...she was frozen in shock! Her eyes turned crimson, her skin like baked-grey shit, and fangs descended over her botched lips. She was no doubt trying to intimidate me as she spoke the filth, "I see you are still living."
"Sorry to disappoint you," I muttered as my eyes sensed one harpy charging at me. And before it could use its talon-tipped feet to rip me off, I pulled out my dagger and slashed out at its back and neck. It stumbled backwards, and before it could get back, I pulled my knee up and hammered my foot into its skull. Its body curled up like a dead spider with limbs and wings trampled into a mess. Then, I rolled my shoulders, stretched my neck and smoothed back my hair while touting, "fucking harpies."
"Ah, I see you have some skills or else why does Vlad care about the shit like you, mate or not." She snapped, stepping up on the hipbone of the dead harpy and breaking it into pieces. I rolled my eyes. "The only shit I see here is your fucking face, so I'm going to fucking ruin it," I said, folding my arms and showing them that their boring threats would not work.
"Well, you are forgetting the fact of who..." This was where I'd had enough, so I held up my hand to stop her.
"Let me just stop you there and fill in the blanks for you...I don't give a shit, even if you are a torn condom mishap of an incubus king or some cock sucking concubine of a vampire king for...I. Am. A. Fucking. Bringer. Of. Death!" I shouted this last part before getting in her face after she stepped back from my obvious threat.
Estrella's eyes seeped with blood, veins turned black, and skin became grotesque like baked grey sand. Her fangs descended, dipped with saliva, and deadly-looking claws grew from under her fingernails. Then she snarled at me, lunging at me with the strength and speed of a vampire.
And here we go.
When she lunged for me, I bent my knee and kicked her as hard as possible, slamming her on the floor. She roared like a wild cat and started shaking in a fury like a possessed, mindless rogue.
One of the harpy bitch came at me, but my dagger did a pretty good job stabbing it in the belly. It howled in pain at the bleeding hole in its gut. Before it decided to aim for me, I reached for a rock lying on the floor and, with a quick tug, pulled it off, swung it upwards, and just before its claws got me, I slammed the rock hard on her jaw, breaking it so badly that half of it now hung off the rest of its face. Estrella turned her head and looked at me in a super creepy way, reminding me of a crazed owl. She turned back to her minions as if silently giving them orders.
Now a swarm of these creatures cornered me.
"Hey, bitch...we aren't done yet!" Estrella's voice came from the far corner as her minions closed in the distance.
"You all want death, then here, fucking have it!" I shouted with every ounce of adrenaline I felt in my blood system. I let my anger flow through my nerves like burning lava that makes my body shudder. It felt as if my blood was humming and my heart was beating too wildly. I lifted my hands in front of my face and looked at them. They were shaking uncontrollably. Some static charge was slithering on top of my skin. And in the next nanosecond, this current charged the surrounding air, and every damn thing around me started buzzing. And then a big wave of power erupted from me as if I was a core of some nuclear fission, destroying everything and killing many. The entire space of the bailey had been turned into a mass grave site, where the bodies and remains of the creatures lay littered among the ground like a bomb had gone off in the centre.
I closed my eyes at the sight of so much death at my hands and muttered incredulously, "Fuck."
I finally gained my breath and looked back at a mound formed by the pile of bodies. I saw Estrella trying to dig her way out of the corpses. I saw real fear in her eyes when she saw me coming for her. I was just about to lunge at her but got suddenly plucked from the ground. One of the vampire clasped me in the tight hold of its feet and flew to a great height. I knew that if it decided to drop me, then I would be done. But the twist in the plot is that these creatures' IQs suck like my luck, so I swung my legs to pull myself up on its body with a lazy handstand. The moment I was on top, I put my dagger on its neck with a warning, "Get me down!" It howled in pain and rage, then started taking me down. But Estrella had other ideas. She flew straight at us and attacked me with a sharp talon. I jerked back, barely evading her attack, but the vampire on which I was currently flying didn't seem to be lucky. Estrella's talon impaled in its chest. So, my next problem was I was riding on the back of a dead vampire, and we were going down at death speed.
"Oh shit, oh shit...fuck me, this is...fuck!" I tried to latch onto that dead, grotesque creature to save the fall, and that was when Estrella attacked again.
She lunged at me head-on with the intention of head trauma, but I quickly dodged her attack, grabbed the trail of her silk dress, and pinned her to the ground. She tried to get free by tearing that part of the dress.
"Go for it, mother-in-law. It looks better as a mini-skirt," I said with an evil grin, grabbing her left wing, digging my talons into it and ripping it off. She screamed in sharp pain and reached for her weapon, meaning the fight had begun. She swung her sword with its tip, scratching my arm, then spun on her heel to take my knees. But I turn sideways and hit her in the back. Thankfully her weapon slipped from her grasp and flew across the floor with a clatter. She tried to get up, attempting to flap her wings, but they were too damaged and wouldn't work properly. She only managed to lift three feet on the ground, with her body steering off to one side, becoming lopsided as her left wing was out completely. This made me easy to grab her right wing and yank her back to the hard floor.
"No...not my wings," she said, scrambling backwards like a wounded crab searching desperately for the protection of its shell. I picked up my dagger and stalked over to her like a predator to prey. She started to try and get up, but I kicked her chest, making her fall backwards. I severed four of her talons from her fingers with my dagger. She screamed in pain as I pierced each one through her body and wings at different places. And then I flipped out my dagger in my hand before catching it and using it to carve a message on her head.
"Vlad will have your head for this!" she threatened, making me roll my shoulders and telling her, "And I can't fucking wait for him to try."
"I just wish he tears your family limb to limb, and you are forced to watch as everyone you love dies...Ahhhh!" her words ended in an agonizing scream as I severed her right wing from her body, knowing that this was what she deserved. Losing the wings was very humiliating for the vampire race.
I turned my back on her after watching her head slump forward in utter defeat. I left her to wallow in the sorrow, as I believed I had taken my revenge despite not killing her as I promised. Instead, I used her to send a message to my enemy- A sworn one!!
"Your wings are next." This was my message to Vlad.

*You haunt me in nightmares. I plan on returning the favour!!...*
