Purple Moon
Full Moon 2
Kat sits against the wall of the cavern and tries to cure her pounding head, but it seems to only get worse. Cade is hidden in some other corner, engaging the blood alteration. Kat can hear the echos of their battle bounce of the walls, and she knows that Cade can't win this without her, but she can't muster up the strength to move.
Cade suddenly squats next to Kat startling her. He has blood running down on his arm, and it is in his hair and face. He is only holding one crossbow, and he is low on arrows. Kat gets the feeling that she missed some of the fight, but doesn't remember blacking out.
"How are you feeling?" He asks quietly.
Her headache is still there, but it's more of an echo than a throb. "Better." She replies, "I can help you now."
"Are you sure?"
Kat ignores his question and asks, "Where is she?"
Cade shrugs, "One moment she suddenly couldn't move, so I came to check on you."
Kat stands up with Cade following to make sure she doesn't fall again. Kat sees the Queen looking around the cavern. Kat throws Cade a glance and pulls out her swords. Ignoring her head, she focuses solely on the alteration.
Sensing her presence, the Queen turns and faces Kat. For a moment, the Queen sees another girl settle over Kat's features. Then she blinks, and the apparition is gone.
"Your expression reminds me of someone I use to know," The queen says.
Kat doesn't say anything but raises her swords. The queen smiles and shoots spikes of her blood at Kat. Kat blocks but the blood turns back to liquid and drops to the floor. As soon as the droplets hit the ground, they harden back into spikes and aim for under Kat's defense.
Kat jumps backward landing farther from the Queen. Kat closes her eyes and breathes in deeply as she exhales she opens her eyes, and for a moment, the Queen can see a flicker of old knowledge in their purple depths.
