For a moment Celestine worried Darius was going to leave her to die, but at the same time, she almost wished he had. After everything that happened tonight, did she really deserve to live? It was her fault they got into this mess. It was her fault that the fighting even began. She was too hasty, she should have tried to talk more, she should have tried to reason with them, she should have done literally anything else. Celestine hated violence and yet... she resorted to it without hesitation. It came so easy to her.
Perhaps this was her true nature and she was just fooling herself into thinking she was a good person.
Celestine had stopped fighting at that point, but unfortunately, it wasn't long before Darius came to her rescue, tackling the armoured woman and stabbing her. Celeste forced herself upright and scrambled away, grabbing the knife she had dropped and turning back to help.
Darius seemed to have it pretty well handled, but she could see the tears in his eyes. Pressing her lips together, Celeste made a decision. Approaching silently and quickly, she gripped her knife in one hand and used her other to shield Darius's eyes as she stabbed the woman. The blade met some resistance, but with a little extra pressure, Celeste was able to sink the blade deep into her skull. Right between the eyes.
Celestine twisted the blade just to be safe before adjusting her grip and kicking the now-dead HP off of Darius, the blade coming free as the armoured woman flew back into a wall and slumped over.
Sheathing her knife, she sat back and took in all of the damage that had been done. Tears filled Celeste's eyes and she started to laugh, but that laughter quickly morphed into silent sobs and she covered her face with her hands.
Moments later Celestine was fine again, wiping her tears away and taking a deep breath.
"Darius, I am so sorry." She swallowed hard, "This is not how it was supposed to go, and I... It is my fault this happened. You should not have had to do this..."
Celestine trailed off, her gaze staying locked on her hands as she did her best to stay calm.
