Sword clashed!!

As lightening spilt the sky with thunder roaring.

Helen interrupted with a scoff,

"Oh my my my! Look at you lowering that prideful head of yours Ella?"

In a mocking tone she said,

"Never thought the day would come you were you lower that prideful egoist head of yours. Funny isn't 'Ella'?"

She stepped closer, the severed head still dangling from her grip, her eyes filled with something unreadable-pity?, amusement?, or perhaps a hint of sorrow?, hater?

As she walked closer, she threw the severed head to Ella's leg which made Ella to take a quick step back in terror.

"But if you truly want to stop me."

She whispered, as she lean in, her breath warm against Ella's cold, rain-soaked skin.

"Raise you damn sword and fight me."

Ella froze on the word 'kill me' as it echoed in her mind, sending a cold shiver down her spine. Her breath hitched as she looked at helen with wide terrified eyes. As she was about to speak, helen interrupted with a scoff as she said,

"Oh come on Ella, don't give me that look. It makes me want to gouge your eyes out."

Helen said to Ella with a stern face.

With terrified, as her body shivered, Ella managed to whisper,

"But I-I can't. How can I-"

Again she was interrupted by Helen, with a scoff Helen said,

"Oh how can I? You?, oh Ella my dear 'Best Friend'."

A smirk curled on Helen's face making Ella feel her hair from back neck to stand up in fear.

Ella's breath hitched. Her hands trembled as she drew her sword, gripping it tightly. As Helen saw Ella's hand trembling around her sword, her own fingers tightened around her sword. She took a step forward to Ella and said with smile curled on her face,

"You are hesitating? Oh-" she scoffed.

"You have changed Helen. You were not like thi-" before she can finish her sentence Helen interrupted and said with a smile,

"I changed? Really? You think I changed? Maybe I did changed because of someone." She look at Ella which gave her a chill feel.

"I-" just as Ella was about to speak, Helen said," Just cut the crap and raise your sword to fight!"

Ella seeing Helen's eyes which filled with only determination for fight. Ella looked down her hand that holding her sword and looked back at helen and said,

"If this is what you want then ok I will fight you." she raised her sword As she said this, helen face curled with a sinister smile , as she also raise her own sword.

As soon as Ella raise upright her sword, Helen lunged forward in flash. Their swords clashed, sparks flying in the storm. Helen moved like a phantom, her strikes precise, relentless. Ella barely had time to block as each blow sent shockwaves through her arms.
