BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 Medallion
The battle between the two witches had reached a stalemate, with each one sizing up the other\'s limits.
Denise was deep in thought, trying to come up with a strategy that would give her an advantage. Suddenly, she heard the voice of her alter ego whispering in her mind.
"Use me. I\'ll kill that fake bitch for you," it said with a wicked laugh.
Denise shook her head. She only used her alter ego when she needed to kill a large number of people. Despite her cold demeanor, she despised killing.
"You can\'t win against her without me," her alter ego sneered.
"Don\'t tell me you\'re jealous of her because she has her own body?" Denise rolled her eyes.
"That\'s bullshit. Why would I be jealous of a fake bitch? She\'s nothing but a bad copy of the real thing," her alter ego protested .
"Then shut up and let me handle this," Denise snapped, cutting off their connection. She refocused on the battle, determined to come out on top.

Vincent\'s mind was racing with thoughts of how he could help them as he crouched in a corner, observing the intense battle between the two witches. Despite his desire to lend a hand, he knew that he was in no condition to fight. He needed to find a way to help from afar.
His eyes scanned the vast underground basement, searching for anything that could be of use. The stench of decay filled his nostrils, but he pushed past it and kept looking.
Suddenly, a familiar scent wafted towards him, filling him with both dread and hope. It was Celeste\'s scent, and he realized that it might be the scent of the real one.
The scent led him to a metal door. His heart racing, he cautiously checked the door for traps before opening it and stepping inside.
"What could be in here?" he wondered aloud, his mind thinking of many possibilities. He knew he had to be careful and stay alert, for he had no idea if the real one was an enemy or a friend.
He stepped into the dark hallway, his eyes quickly adjusting to the dim light. The walls were lined with human remains, but he remained unfazed. He had seen worse things.
As he continued down the hall, Celeste\'s distinct scent grew stronger. His heart raced as he approached a room filled with the bodies of dead men, and in the center, he saw her - a weak and emaciated woman, bound in chains.
"Celeste?" he whispered, his eyes locking onto her pained expression.
Her eyes briefly lingered on Vincent\'s bare chest before settling on the medallion attached to it.
He had hurriedly come down here so he was only wearing pants.
"The... medallion ...has ...chosen you?" she spoke weakly, her voice strained.
Vincent was surprised by her words. He knew the medallion was powerful, but he didn\'t know how to fully use it.
"Do you know more about it?" he asked eagerly. He might find a way to gain more power and help Debbie.
"Come closer," she beckoned him with a weak gesture. But Vincent hesitated, not sure if he could trust her.
Sensing his reluctance, Celeste let out a tired chuckle.
"I understand your caution. But you must know that medallion was made for Fenrir. And being chosen by it means that you\'re somehow related to him."
"What do you know about him ?"he asked with a serious look. He had been searching for answers about Fenrir\'s identity.
She paused to catch her breath before continuing.
"I only know... about his relationship to the Witch... of Silent Hill... and nothing much. My ancestors came from that place... but they were exiled, so I only know very little. But what I know is that the medallion... is not complete. What you have with you... is only one of the six parts of it," she forced herself to speak, pausing between every words.
Vincent\'s heart beat with anticipation as he contemplated the implications of her words.
"What will happen if I collect them all?" he asked, struggling to keep his voice steady.
"I don\'t know," Celeste replied. "But according.... to legend, Fenrir ...was able to become the strongest werewolf... using that medallion."
"I can become stronger !" He gripped his fist in anticipation and absorbed this information. But before he could voice his thoughts again , Celeste spoke up .
"I have given you ... some answers," she said, her voice weak but insistent. "Now would you care... to hear me out?"
"What do I have to do?" he asked.
"I want... you to absorb... my energy," Celeste said, her voice weak but determined. "I\'m already...very weak, and I know... what\'s happening ...outside this room. My nieces are in danger, and you\'re the only ... one who can save them."
Vincent\'s mind raced as he tried to make sense of it all. Could he really absorb energy? Was this some kind of trick? But he knew he had no choice. He had to try.
"Okay, I\'ll do it," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Good," Celeste said, forcing a smile. "It\'s an ability.... unique to.... Fenrir. If you\'re really related... to him, then you\'ll... be able to pull it off. Just touch... my head... and think about... absorbing my ....supernatural energy."
He nodded and approached her cautiously, unsure of what he was about to do. He placed his hand on her forehead and closed his eyes, trying to focus on the task at hand. He felt a surge of energy flow into him, and he gasped as he absorbed it.
He felt a sudden surge of power as he absorbed the last of Celeste\'s supernatural energy. He pulled away from her, feeling different, changed somehow. He knew he had to act fast, but he also knew that he had the power to do it now.
"I\'ll save your nieces," he promised, his voice ringing with newfound confidence. "I won\'t let them down."
"Thank you , " With a final, forced smile, Celeste\'s eyes closed in relief. Vincent was taken aback at the sudden change, and quickly moved to check on her.
"Good," he muttered, his hand hovering over her chest to feel for a heartbeat. "She\'s still breathing."
