Impulsively

Son of a bitch.

It was the very person Rachel had chosen over her, the one who shattered Maria's plans and left her in a state of despair. Maria's heart pounded with fury as she charged towards Ethan, her mind consumed by anger and vengeance. She saw him as nothing more than a mortal, an obstacle in her path of retribution. The insatiable hunger within her gnawed at her senses, blurring her judgment and urging her to satisfy her primal urges.

With each step she took, her vision narrowed, her focus honed on the figure before her. But as Maria closed in, ready to strike, Ethan swiftly spun around, surprising her with his agility and quick reflexes. In one swift motion, he flung a vial to the ground, releasing a dense cloud that enveloped the air around them.

The paralyzing mist seeped into Maria's nostrils, suffocating her with its potent effects. Panic surged through her as her limbs grew heavy, refusing to obey her commands. She struggled, desperate to escape, but her disoriented state only added to her torment. She stumbled and tumbled, her surroundings reduced to a dizzying blur.

Amidst her confusion, Maria heard the unsettling sound of metal clanking against metal. The noise pierced through the fog of her mind, sending a chill down her spine. Through her hazy vision, she caught a glimpse of a blade descending upon her head.

In that split second, Maria's consciousness faded into darkness, her fate sealed by her impulsive rage. The world around her vanished as her head parted with her body.
