Episode 6: Return of the Ex

Contessa walked nervously along the mountain. She wasn't waiting for anyone really, although she had tipped off Vachal she would be here. He hopefully would show up, but part of her wanted to just sit up here and enjoy her thoughts without them being clouded by her love of vachal.

She sang a song quietly as she strolled along a plateau of the mountain. Her voice couldn't be heard by any normal human ears, only vampires.. or werewolves. She looked down from ehr tall viewpoint and gasped at the great distance she had hiked in such a small amount of time. For any normal human, it woulnd't be feasible, but she was the opposite of ordinary.

Tessa's wide dark brown eyes got wide with shock as she turned to face her b oyfriends ex. She saw teh hatred and fury in teh other girls eyes and immedeately was intimidated. She was the one Vachal loved. She was the one who had held him back from loving her. She was the reason for all of that, and yet, instead of fury and jealousy, Tess only felt bad.

"i thought.. I though you were.. dead.." she stammered, inaudably to all but her own, and probly Mala's , ears. it ended up sounding like question. She watched her in awe as Mala watched her back.

"i didn't steal him from you.. You were dead...." she stated, still quietly. She hoped it wasn't rude to say, but it was only a statement of fact.

Contessa watched in horror as the girl transformed to a werewolf. She had never been more afraid of any creature more than she was of mala right now. She took a step back frm her current positin right before Mala lept. She felt her foot reach the end of teh plateau and she didn't have to look down to know how far the drop was.

"I.. but.." she said as Mala slashed at her. it knocked her off balance. Her body twisted quickly and she grabbed onto the small sharp edge of the plateau with one hand and looked up at Mala with pleading eyes.

Looking into the eyes of Mala, Tess knew there was no way she would be spared. AS Mala kicked Tess's hand, tess felt a tear escape her eyes. She was going to die and it would hurt vachal terribly. She shut her eyes as she fell quickly. She didn't even feel the pain as she hit the ground.

"sorry." she said before she felt her life slip from within her. her final words had been said to vachal, but she was sure he couldnt and wouldn't hear them. she was too far down. Anyone who saw her on the place where she sat would think she was only asleep due to the peaceful expression on her face, but she wasn't going to wake up. unless...

Something pulled her back. Something, although she ha dno idea how, brought her back to earth. Her dark brown eyes opened slightly, then shut again quickly. She opened them once again, and this time her large eyes were aware of teh shapes of the murderer and the one she loved. She pulled her head up to vachals shoulder and gave him a hug. How he'd brought her back, she didn't know. Then, she leaned back to the ground, feeling dizzy and tired. Her dark brown eyes fell on Mala.

Tess noticed the shocked expression on Mala's face, but didn't comprehend it. she guesses it was because she too had been brought back from the dead. ironic that both of the girls that vachal loved had died and were brought back to life. Tess thought in her still spinning head as she shut her eyes again.
