She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 380 - Princess Vs Princess

"I'm sorry!"

"Why?" Adeline had a betrayed look on her face. Rebekah had done everything she could to stop her brother earlier. And never had it crossed Adeline's mind that she would do what she was going to do.

But reality had already set in Adeline's mind. She already knew she was in a kill or be killed situation.

Adeline locked Rebekah's attention on her face and stealthily slid her hand under the sofa. "Why are you doing this, Princess? You don't need to do this."

"Because however he was, he was the only family I had!" Rebekah screamed in agony and spread her fingers as though they were claws.

That scream drew Theodore's attention. A chill shiver entered his heart when he saw Rebekah straddling Adeline. Everything slowed down for him.

Rebekah gave out a battle cry and her hand was inching closer and closer to Adeline's heart.

His deep and menacing voice echoed, "Nooooooooo!"

He immediately pulled out his claws from Reginald's chest and threw Reginald away.

Theodore was about to give his wings a flap to cross the distance between him and those two.

However, that vampire guard who had awoken grabbed his wing and literally hung on it. He sank his teeth on Theodore's wings without wasting a second and the imbalance and pain made Theodore topple on the floor.

Adeline was already ready to fight Rebekah the moment Rebekah had straddled her. She had already managed to grab her sword.

So when Rebekah's hand was inches away from smashing into her chest and crushing her heart, Adeline also gave out a loud cry and forcefully thrust her hips.

Rebekah's bottom got hit which made her flop down on her head. Adeline had exerted so much force that Rebekah's already clotted wound on her head began to bleed again. Using that distraction, Adeline grabbed Rebekah's waist with both of her hands and rolled her over to be on top.

Adeline drew her sword without one bit of hesitation and aimed at Rebekah's heart.

But no matter how fast she was trying to act, Rebekah was faster than her. She managed to drag herself a little before the sword could stab her heart.

Still, the sword jabbed Rebekah at the side of her stomach before she could pull herself up and away from Adeline's hold.

Rebekah held the side of her stomach and tried her best to suppress her scream so as not to boost Adeline's confidence. But the pain was so excruciating that she thought she would die just because of a stab in her stomach, not even her heart.

She wanted to see what Adeline had stabbed her with but she only saw Adeline pretending to hold something.

"Stop the madness, Princess," Adeline was shouting while pointing her fist at her.

But the pain was getting too unbearable for Rebekah. She was sweating profusely within a matter of mere seconds. Her eyes were blurry, her heart was clenching like never before and she thought she was about to die for real.

"I'm not going down without taking you with me!" Rebekah screamed deafeningly to mask her pain and she was ready to attack Adeline again.

She bare her fangs and jumped at Adeline like the predator she was.

Both of them fell to the floor with Rebekah on top of Adeline.

However, she jumped right into the Cerberus Sword. The sword passed clean through her stomach.

"Aaahhhhhh!" Rebekah felt that same worst pain again. She rested her head on Adeline's shoulder unable to even lift her head.

The hilt of the sword that was in between them was poking Adeline's stomach. She was breathing heavily. She was even trembling because vampire or not, Rebekah still looked like a human, and she had stabbed her.

She felt like Rebekah's weight was increasing by the second. Adeline tried to push her aside but was unable to. Maybe she was already worn out because of all the trauma that she was going through.

Rebekah, on the other hand, felt like something colder than her was spreading from her stomach to all over her body.

Rebekah whispered with her forced breath, "What did you do to me?" She forced herself to push her head up, only to see that her hand had already turned ash-grey, the color of dead vampires. She was even more furious.

Adeline also saw the rotting face of Rebekah. The veins had already started to clot and looked darker than her grey face. Only a few chunks here and there were yet to turn into that rotting color.

Adeline felt light-headed and wanted to vomit, not because of Rebekah's rotting face, but because of the sudden guilt for killing Rebekah.

But Rebekah still had some fight left in her. With her remaining energy and life, Rebekah grabbed Adeline's hair and jerked her neck to the side.

She buried her fangs on Adeline's neck with the intention to rip her head off.

"Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhh!" Adeline closed her eyes and cried while holding onto her dear life. Rebekah wasn't just digging her fangs but was also pulling on Adeline's chunk of meat to tear it off.

Before Rebekah was successful, Adeline felt some icy cold liquid dripping on her chest and running towards her neck.

She clenched her teeth and forced her eyes open to see Theodore… with a heart on his hand.

Theodore himself looked shocked by what he had done. He kept on staring at that dead heart of Rebekah.

Adeline pushed Rebekah's mouth open to release herself from her fangs and then rolled her to the side with the last bit of her strength.

Adeline was breathing in and out very noisily as if she was trying very hard not to wail like a baby. But even though she didn't wail, her warm tears started to roll down her temple.

She was so overwhelmed by the death of Rebekah and her near-death experience that she didn't have the strength to push herself up and check on her father or Theodore or anyone else.

She wished that all of this was just a nightmare and she would soon wake up before the darkness inside of her would swallow her whole.

Adeline was about to lose her consciousness when she heard Theodore, "No… no, no, no…"

Theodore was still standing right where he was. "What have I done?" He looked terrified and restless for some reason.

He reverted back to his normal form and hastily kneeled down beside Rebekah's body. He put the heart back in the hole in her chest and covered her chest with his palm.

And he was whispering madly, almost as though he was possessed by something, "Please don't be dead.. Please don't be dead. Wake up! WAKE UP!"
