Episode 77
Seeing her armies are all dead, she smirks then bent a little, her wings prolonged out from her back with fire flame emitting from it she flapped them and a spark of fire dropped from it engulfing anything it comes in contact with, with fire.
Zoe appeared beside Chloe, “where have you been?“ Chloe asked her. “Renetha is not dead!“ She said instead. “I see you are already adapting the other side of you as Sarah's twin sister.“ She added
“Why didn't you tell me I'm Sarah's sister, I know you have known about this for a very long time, and how did you know Renetha is not dead, I saw her in the vision!“ Chloe question
“Trust me when I say I had no idea how you relate to Renetha. When I first saw you at that orphanage, I felt drawn to you and I know somehow we are connected. Renetha is not dead, you can verify that yourself, you are a psychic!“
“What about you? Are you no longer a psychic?“
“Unfortunately, I only had the ability to heal, the light…”
“Mum?“
“No. The first Light gave me the ability to heal only.“
“This is the end fight Chloe, it has been looking pretty easy, but Anetta has gained more powers, the souls of the people living in her, are all working on a wish, she will be hard to get rid of, so I'm here to help.“ Zoe ended.
They all form a circle having Anetta at the centre and they watched as she strained her neck sideways with her wings flapping when she was done with her transition to the wing woman she breathed out. They all watched her to see what was going to happen next. And the next moment everywhere heated up, and they were all starting to get burned, Zoe ran around and healed each and every one of them one by one, when she healed Sandra, she turned visible and whispered to her to attack Anetta and became invisible back. Yes! She is alive and visible, but her days on earth are only numbered, she is only here for the meantime till the battle will end, this is one of the things the first light granted her and she chooses to be invisible to others except Chloe, reason best known to her, Sandra attack Anetta and everywhere cool down, they all joined the fight to support Sandra different dodging here and there, anyone that got hit or wounded Zoe will be rushed to the rescue and heal them.
Sandra rose to the air along with Anetta and they started fighting, a spang of fire hit Sandra and she fell to the ground making a loud thud, Zoe ran to her healing her, Anetta seeing this got angry and walked towards her unknown to Zoe, Chloe seeing this yelled, “no!“
She grabbed Zoe and she was confused about how she was able to feel her or maybe see her, she wrapped her hands around her neck and started choking her releasing the fire heat in her hand, she started choking and her neck started burning. She suddenly became viable slowly from head to toe.
“Zoe!“ Chloe screamed, and the others tried to see her face and who knew she was. After Anetta was satisfied she threw her to the ground making a loud thud, they all rushed to her side, Chloe grabbed her hand and told her to heal herself.
“Rachel?“ Paul called, and Zoe faced his tears streaming down her eyes
“Who is Rachel?“ Chloe thought, Sandra walked towards them hearing the word Rachel.
Aletta stood akimbo as she watched them reminisce in their pain.
“Rachel!“ Christy, Paul, Ben and Sandra called.
“This is Zoe.“ Chloe said to them that maybe they had mistaken her for another person called Rachel.
“I'm sorry…” Zoe now Rachel said.
“Dad!“ She called and Paul hugged her, he had no idea Rachel still lived, she had been dead a few months after giving birth to Sean.
“Son!“ She called out to Sean, and sean look at her
“Son?“ Chloe thought, Sean reluctantly walked towards her, is she truly her mum?
“Sandra” she called too, “Rachel… are you still alive?“
“It's just a matter of time..“ She said as she spilt blood
“I was given a second chance by the Light, the first Light… my death wasn't natural, Renetha did, she found me and tried to make me tell her where Sandra is, she already knew she was the Light, I lied to her and she found out I was lying and killed me and I'm to use my second chance wisely, I don't know if the decision I took is wise enough. Chloe? I-I found her at one orphanage one time and I felt something about her. I used my ability and I know she is no ordinary kid, I possessed her and here I am…” she was saying g when she gave up the ghost and her body decomposed turning to ashes.
“No!“ Paul screamed and stood up took his staff and stab Anetta in the back, Her wings flapped and hit Paul he fell and sent a fireball to him, Chloe controlled it and sent it away, but she was too fast, she sent another one and it engulfs Paul, Ben screamed, Sean seeing this, his eyes turned Red. Been attacked Anetta and she choked him too, frying him to death.
They all stood and watched in horror.
“What the…” Brian and Wilson said as they watched as three people died in a minute.
“We should back out!“ Decker said
“Tell them to retreat!“ Decker yelled again at Trina.
“No, it's now or never! Fire!“ She ordered and they started firing bullets at her.
“Aim her skull, Aim her wings!“ She added, and they knew they fucked up when each of the bullets turned to liquid as they touched her and Anetta turned to face them.
“Duck!“ Trina yelled and they looked for where to hide as Anetta threw fire at them. Aletta was focused on them when Sandra launched into the air and used her blade and cut her wings off, she winced and turned to see who did it and what they'd done. She wanted to choke Sandra, and everything became slow motion, that of Kyle.
“I have an idea guys we should take her where there is water, she will be weakened there, we can't win over her here!“ Cassie said, and they all nodded in agreement. Kyle teleported them all inside the sea where Cassie had thrown those armies Minutes ago.
Everything becomes normal again, each fire she sent, will be quenched by the water. Anybody who is losing their breath, Christy will use her super speed and bring them above the water to breathe in Oxygen as fast as she could and returned to join the fight.
Suddenly, the water started getting warm, they know it was just a matter of time before they all get boiled. Sarah and Chloe held their hands combining their powers Sandra ignited her inner Light energy Kyle Slow down the time and they strike, Sean stabbed her, Chloe Sarah bring them all above the sea since they all running out of breath, and Sandra burnt her with the light as she slowly turned to ashes, they all channelled their anger towards attacking her.
“Where are they?“ Wilson and Brian asked at the same time as they looked around
“One thing could only happen, Kyle used his slow motion power, and teleported them away from this place, I hope they come back fine.“ Decker gave a meaningful explanation.
***
The hospital was in the diaspora as everyone ran up and down, and patients are being attended to
“What is happening?“ Olivia asked no one in particular, she opened the door and left her ward seeing different patients and sound of an explosion, she knew it Anetta doing, her heartache and she rushed out of the hospital went to a closest store grabbed a combat pants and a shirt she connect her mind to that of her daughter and tried to know where they are but she got nothing, she started tuning to the direction where people were running away from and after a long run from afar she saw the Sheriff.
Scarlett came out of her hiding place, seeing there is no Anetta and the Elvers she walked over to Scate and Clyde's bodies, they were barely breathing, and tried to take their abilities and Renetha appeared suddenly, scaring her to the bone.
“Renetha?“ She called.
“That is Renetha!“ Sheriff said
“Who is she, another enemy?“ Brian asked
“She was the reason why all this is happening in our town!“ Trina said remembering Carter.
“Then we should be rid of her!“ Wilson said.
“Wait a minute.“ Decker said, Scarlett was lifted from the ground and in a moment, she was poisoned by Renetha's touch at that moment Olivia arrived to the scene
“Olivia?“ Trina and Decker chroused
“Mom?“ Olivia called out to Renetha, and she looked at her side taking her hands off Scarlett and she fell to the ground
“Oh I see you are doing better than I thought” Renetha said with no emotions, and Olivia looked at her in disgust.
“You left me to rot, why did you care?“ She said instead
“Nah, I didn't, Christy took you from me!“
“Oh really? How about I take you from the surface of the earth!“
“Oh that is not nice to say to your long lost mum”
“It's cool you know you are lost to me and will never be found!“ She yelled at her and launched an attack towards her.
“Don't get close to her, Olivia, she has a poisonous touch!“ Trina yelled, and Olivia, who was almost punching her, swiftly dodged the punches from her and used her mind to push her to the wall instead. She created an illusion making it seem she is in front of her while she is really at her back, but what she doesn't know is, Olivia could sense her, she swiftly turned her back and dodged her touch.
“Fire!“ Trina ordered and tons of bullets rain on her, but she got healed almost immediately, the bullets punctured into her skin, she smiled and said, “Surprised?“
“Fool” Olivia muttered as she gain access to her mind and control her whole system with all her might to work against her, her veins popped and she groaned in pain and it happened to her as she has did to Carter, her healing ability barely heal the part where she has been poisoned when Olivia sees it's going to take a very long time before she could get rid of her, she opt to her brain instead, it started swelling and swelling till it burst and she dropped dead.
Olivia staggered backward before falling unconscious. She has strained her ability more than she should.
***
The police sirens wailed across the street, ambulance vans were not left behind, Olivia was rushed into the ambulance and was given first aid treatment because she fainted, till she woke up, she has not fully recovered yet, she was taken to the hospital and back to her ward.
“Do you think they would make it?“ Trina asked Decker they've been seated in the car and watched the police do their thing as they took pictures and the dead bodies taken to the hospital.
“I'm sure they would!“ Decker assured her, squeezing her shoulder.
“Thank you.“
“For what?“
“For always been there for me and my kids”
“Oh, it's nothing. I'm also doing myself a favour.“
“Really? Is there something you wanna tell me? You should now.“ Trina said and Decker, she had understood his body language.
“Sure, I will when the time comes”
“They are here!“ Brian yelled and ran off almost immediately to meet the not waiting for their response.
“Aww, Mr. Lover.“ Trina said and laughed with Decker joining her.
They walked up to the squad, and they all gave themselves a tight hug.
“It has been a long journey with you guys!" Decker said.
“I thought you guys wouldn't make it, but y'all did!“
“Sean, I'm sorry for your loss.“ Brian said and went to give Sean a brotherly hug, he lost both his mum and the only person left as his Dad in a day.
“Kyle, I'm sorry too!“ He added and they all took turns to console them.
“So Anetta?“ Wilson asked.
“She is gone, and will never be seen again!“ Sandra said and they all laughed at her dramatic moves.
“It's nice meeting you guys, I'm ex-Mayor Wilson!“ Wilson said.
“It's our pleasure sire, Wait! Ex?“ They choroused.
“Oh, that's a long story, but for now we need to celebrate!“ Trina announced.
“Woah!“ They echoed as they heed home.
No matter how long Darkness is, the Light will always prevail.
