Disclaimer: I only own what is mine. My OCs, and ideas.
Pretty, pretty, please review!
"Hope?" I ask as Hope pokes her head out the door. "What are you doing?"
I watched my older sister grip the handle of the sword that is tied around her waist. "Dad told me to find you and stay put so that's what I'm doing." She says. I can hear the nerves in her voice.
"Is there an attack?" I ask quickly.
"How should I know?" She snaps at me.
"I was just asking, Hope." I say calmly. I was lying on the bed so I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. "I'll find out." I sit up straight and close my eyes entering a meditative state.
I felt my mind expanding. I felt my presence expanding over the palace. 'Dad' I focus my powers. There he is, fighting some monster. He was green. And huge, maybe a little bigger than Fat Cobra. Then I fell and invisible force throw me back.
"It's some sort of attack." I confirm sitting back up.
Hope's still jittery. "Do you want to do something?" I ask.
"Like what?" She asks me, her hand adjusting her grip every three seconds.
"Chess?" I asked with a small smirk on my face, I wasn't bad at chess.
"Thanks, but I'm good." She says, glaring over at me.
I simply shrug it off and walk over to my desk and sit down doing my sentences for school.
Its not very long before we hear a loud crashing sound and the wall where the window is ripped out.
The huge monster that I saw dad fighting was standing there, in front of my eyes. I gulped and quickly ran to get behind Hope who had already drawn her sword. Heart of the Dragon! Where is dad?
I watch the monster get closer to us. "Well, well, aren't you two little cuties?" It growls at us.
Neither of us respond.
'Hope, what do we do?' I ask her telepathically.
'When I run, you run. Like the devil is chasing us.' She responds.
Wow. What a plan.
The monster walks closer and closer. "Your both perfect though for my experiment. You both look like trouble, though. Good thing I wouldn't need you alive, or in one piece."
I can feel Hope's heart rate increase. "We're not going anywhere." She literally barks back at him.
"You're not in a barging position princess." The monster says.
"Move." Hope whispers harshly.
I levitate the door open and we dash through.
"Hope, got any idea who or what that thing was?" I ask as we run.
"Nope." She replies. "Head for the throne room." She adds as we are near a turn.
I hear this monster following us, trashing the palace as it goes. Thank the Dragon for magic , though, the damage wouldn't last too long.
Once we reach the throne room we share a concerned expression. There were no guards posted outside like normal. Even if it wasn't in use there were always guards here.
"Great now what?" I ask weakly.
"We stand our ground until we get a better plan." Hope replies drawing her sword once more. "So hurry up with that plan." She says over her shoulder to me.
The monster turns the final corner as Hope shouts: "Retsnome-htn-iartser!"
Mist appears from everywhere to hold back the beast as I think. There has to be something I can do.
I slowly back into a corner and grab my head something, something, something. I mentally yell at myself. I got a really bad idea.
I slow straighten my posture and watch Hope, she was fighting well. I outstretch my arms and press my fingers together using my index fingers and thumbs to form a triangle right as Hope collapses.
"Hope!" I yell. I stop what I am doing and run up to her.
"No, Hope get up!" I mutter shaking her.
The monster roars behind me and I turn around in time to throw up my left hand, throwing up a force field. The monster hits it over and over again as I shake Hope.
"Come on big sis." I mutter weakly crying. "Get up." I shake her. She is still alive, I can tell it. I've seen a dead person before and I can just feel the absence of a soul and Spirit. Hope's is still there.
The monster lets out more roar as he throws his fists down on my breaking shield. I barrel roll out of the way quickly and resume my previous position. Then, I take in a deep breath.
"Dragon Lords," I mutter, terrified. "Let this work."
I pull my hands to my chest and then push them forward as the monster is thrown backwards.
"Ah, aren't you a strong little one?" he asked growling. He holds up a fist and flicks his wrist downward. A few throwing knives leave a compartment on the top of his wrist, all shooting at me.
I dodge as many as I can manage, getting slashed in the side while doing so. And then I make one false move and he nails in right above my left knee cap. I fall to the ground and let out a cry in terrible pain.
Come on Kaito, get it together, and stay awake. I think to myself. I start shaking violently as the monster lifts me off the ground. The he jerks a knife out of the wall and slashes it right down my leg.
I cry out again, but my arms are pinned down. I bow my head toward him and focus slowly, allowing his mind to slowly open up and get inside. All while I do this he keeps at my leg. I guess when he does put me down he doesn't want me to run off.
I slowly work my way into his kind and then once I reach the right point I jerk my head backwards.
It works, luckily. He drops me to the ground and drops another knife right onto my calf muscle. I glare upward at him. But I can't really focus on him, I have to focus on staying awake.
I lay there very still for a while and listen as the monster regains control of itself.
"Dragon Lords, guide my spirit." That is all I can muster up of a prayer before more pain exploded in my leg. A sharp object also slices right across the right side of my forehead.
"You will pay for that telepath!" The monster yelled.
My eyelids are getting heavy as I weakly lift my arm activating another force field. But it doesn't hold long. And a punch breaks through slamming into my chest with so much force I cough up blood.
"Allow my soul to join the honored and strong." I mutter as I choke on my own blood.
The world is almost gone by now. The monster is still tearing at me. Some liquid is all over my cuts and the knife I can still feel in my knee. The liquid must be a poison because it stings and it hurts.
"Kid?" A voice asks but I can't open up my eyes enough to see who is standing over me.
I feel someone gently lift me and a female voice talking. "You had better not dare say another line of that prayer." Is all I hear the voice say as the world slips away.
