Well I'm back with the second chapter. Don't forget to comment!
Chapter 2 : Attack.
Jocelynn quickly reaches into her coat and pulls out two seraph blades and names them. " Jamiel, Maziel!"
She lunges forward, brandishing the angel swords. " Valentine, GET UP!" she shouts behind her. She knows the effort is futile, though; Valentine is knocked out. She groans and lunges forward again, swiping one head clean off.
She looks behind herself quickly only to see that Valentine's body has disappeared. She turns back around only to have to lean back so far that her hair actually touches the ground. A fist slices the air, inches from where she was not even a second ago. Jocelynn rebound quickly, Jamiel already slicing through the air. Jamiel connects with the Drevak's neck, clearing the head off the body.
She groans as another Drevak leaps towards her, she falls to the ground. Rolling on the hard ground, she gets back up into a perfect attack crouch. She notices the Drevaks are beginning to encircle her.
Thankfully, she also notices a small flicker of movement just outside the circle of demons around her. Inside, she seeps with joy. She thanks the god that demons were stupid. Outwardly, the maintains the nervous, frightened look in her face with some effort.
She feigns moving forward and suddenly spins brandishing Jamiel and Maziel. Just this takes out the three nearest to her.
Then, she hears it. The slight whistling as the weapon breaks the air. Jocelynn hears the thud of a body as the star finds it mark. Few of the demons look to the direction of the mysterious weapon.
In the confusion, Jocelynn moves to attack more before they return to attempting to kill her. She successfully brings down a couple before they turn on her again. She notices the crowd around her has begun to thin. Valentine must have made his move, Jocelynn thinks to herself.
That's when she sees him. Just a whisper of movement before he sulks back into the shadows. Her eyes do not remain on the spot where he disappeared, for she knows that the next time he shows himself, he will be somewhere else. She thrusts both seraphs blades into a demon and quickly rebounds by flicking them so that they are facing behind her. She pushed them backwards and groans when she feels the demon blood splatter on her back. She flicks them back forward as she catches sight of Valentine once again.
" Valentine, stop that. Just come out here and help me already." she says, sounding bored. Inside, her heart was still racing.
That's when he emerges. Leaping at least three feet high, looking like a fallen angel, brandishing two seraph blades. He lands on a Drevak then flips forward, landing on his feet, directly in front of Jocelynn. " For your information, I was already helping." he says with a smirk.
She returns the smile just as he turns and kicks a Drevak in its grotesque abdomen. Suddenly remembering where she was, she turns to be able to cover his back better.
" How many on your side?" she asks.
" About half a dozen. How about yours?" he replies.
" Same, you ready?" she asks, returning Jamiel to his spot in her coat. She reaches into her boot and pulls out a few shooting stars.
" Yes." he says back.
" Now!" she shouts. She feels Valentine lunge forward as she releases each star, each at a different angles. Three go down almost instantly as she moves to attack the rest, while trying not to be splattered by demon blood.
Jocelynn retreats slightly as a demon swipes at her, but she quickly returns by moving to swipe it's abdomen. She easily hits the demon, but it doesn't go down. The demon continues to advance. She retreats further. The demon tries to hit her again, but she ducks and lunges for its throat, Maziel in hand.
Jocelynn lands on the demon, grunting. She knows her demon blood burns will be major, but at this point she does not care. She jams Maziel into the creature's abdomen once again, groaning when the blood makes contact with her skin. The demon's eyes are still bright as it attempts to gain the upper-hand.
Meanwhile, Valentine was only fairing slightly better. Like Jocelynn, he took out the first three within seconds, using Zacharias and Mariel in a wide arc that took off three heads. Unfortunately, again like Jocelynn, that was when things began to go downhill.
He lunges forward, but the creature is unusually fast and beats him to the punch. It swipes its own are in an arc, knocking down Valentine. It works quickly from there, jumping onto Valentine. Valentine grunts as he continues to reach to where Zacharias and Mariel were discarded as he fell.
Thankfully, the demon stops all of its own movement, waiting for the others, content with the fact that it was easily crushing Valentine.
Without warning, Jocelynn cries out and brings Maziel down on the neck of the demon. She cries out as she jumps back feeling the horrible burn of the blood. Swallowing back the pain, she looks around her, only to see that Valentine was being crushed. " Crap." she murmurs and moves forward to attack. As she walks, she pulls out Jamiel.
In one movement, she crosses the blades, flicks her wrists and the head falls. She decides that she'll apologize to Valentine later. She hears him grunt in pain as he stands back up.
Without warning, the Drevaks suddenly begin to retreat.
" What the..?" starts Jocelynn, but suddenly stops. She looks up to Valentine, standing only inches away. Jocelynn moves to her tippy-toes just as Valentine leans down. The kiss linger, but eventually, they separate.
Valentine clears his throat. " We should start heading over to Lucian's. I'll heal you on the way." he says simply as he takes he arm and they continue down the path they were taking, steles in hand.
