Prologue
The night was dark and silent, except for the footsteps of a running girl. She was running for her life, from a big dark silhouette with a long sword. It chased her for 4 blocks before finally cornering her in an abandoned ally. The figure raised its sword and as she looked into its evil, red eyes, she saw her entire existence vanish. A tear escaped her eye when the shadow's sword started to quickly come down upon her. She closed her eyes, afraid of seeing her death. Even with her eyes closed she saw a flash of white light. She opened her eyes to see another shadow figure with a sword of its own, keeping her attacker's sword from ending her. The second shadow pushed its sword against the the first's with such strength that it flew and was sent sailing into a building crumbling it. It emerged from the wreckage, and with incredible speed, shot toward the second shadow. The second figure raised its left palm and when the first was just about to swing its sword large flames shot from its hand ending the first shadow. The girl looked at the her savior only fearing that it wanted to finish her itself.
It started toward her, and she backed against the brickwall and started wimpering. "Don't be afraid, you're safe now", the figure said calmly, silencing her. The clouds subsided and the moonlight illuminated them both. Her savior was just a young boy no older than herself which had to be 14. He held out his sword to his side and it disappeared leaving a mist behind in his hand, which he just waved away. "Who are you", the girl asked.
"That's not important", he replied, "I have to get you out of here more will be coming, where do you live?"
"With my parents...uh...about 4 blocks that way", she answered.
"Alright, hop on my back I'll take you there", the boy said. The girl did as she was told and climbed onto his back.
"Hold on tight", he said. She squeezed his neck as he took off into the air. He's not flying, She thought. She was right he wasn't flying, but jumping extremely high.
"There it is", she said as they were in the air. He started his descent and finally landed at the doorstep.
"Here we are", he said. She started to walk to the door when she suddenly spun around and threw her arms around him. "Thank you", she said gratefully, a tear in her eye. The boy was shocked for a second, but excepted the hug.
"How can I thank you", she said after she finally let go.
He shook his head and said, "It's alright, your safety is all I care about." He smiled and before she could say anything, he jumped out of sight. Who was that? she thought before entering her house.
