AN: Sorry for the long wait! Please forgive me! I had gotten a new laptop and hadn't yet installed Microsoft word! But here is my next chapter in the Walker series! \( ^O^ )/
Chapter 3: Earth Gloves and General Cross
My eyes widened to see a big metal monster floating where Mrs. Takahashi once stood. I had a weird sense of déjà vu. Unintentionally I was pulling on that star nervously when the star popped off of the ribbon. I opened my hand palm up and stared at it. The star then melted and wrapped around my hand creating a fingerless glove.
The glove fit snugly and it cut off slightly above the wrist. On top of the black metal were tiny white stars. The red haired man smirked at me and the turned to the big metal contraption floating in front of me. Without thinking I decided to stand up, I heard a loud gunshot. I swiftly dodged the bullet and brought up a shield of earth that seemed to form to my will. I then unconsciously turned it into a huge sword that pierced the monster straight in the heart. It blew up and many other students rushed in to see me on the floor panting heavily. I stared at my hand to see the glove was gone and was back in it's star shape. I looked up and the red haired man was gone. All around me was rubble. There were terrified screams all around me. I looked to the two girls who were in the room when Mrs. Takahashi turned into the metal monster. They were wide eyed and holding onto each other.
"HOLY SHIT! WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!?" Mina questioned while running over to me.
"Metal…monster….Mrs…..Takahashi…..Red….haired…pervert….guy….." my world was blinking in and out of focus.
"Luna?"
I collapsed.
I woke up in my bed at home. I was still clutching the star in my hand and Mina was laying her head on my bed.
She must be asleep….What time is it?
I shifted my weight as I put the star back on the necklace and Mina woke up with a start. She threw arms around and me and started to cry.
"You idiot….. You could have been expelled… or worse killed."
I smoothed down her hair and calmly said "When I was five, my classmate turned into a big metal monster. The red headed perverted guy called it an Akuma. turned into one when he came in. He gave me this white choker with a black star attached. I fought her and won… I'm sorry…."
She just sobbed louder.
"I'm so sorry for worrying you" I whispered while big tears formed in my eyes.
Kana came in and looked at us, the red headed pervert guy followed. Mina let go and looked towards the door. I followed her gaze and spotted General Cross. I jumped and shouted "YOU!" my wide eyes turned into a glare. "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU WORRY MINA LIKE THIS! FIRST YOU COME INTO THE DAMN LOCKER ROOM! SECOND YOU BRING UP ALLEN! THIRD YOU DISSAPEAR AND MAKE ME FIGHT AN AKUMA! AND FOURTH YOU DARE STEP FOOT INTO MY FUCKING HOUSE!?" By the time I finished I already had him backed against a wall with my index finger on the center of his chest. My eyes turned soft and tears glistened in my eyes. I turned and when straight over to Kana and Mina who were staring at me horrified.
Kana grabbed me and gave me a huge ass hug. I looked up to see her crying. Mina joined the hug tears still running down her cheeks and smiling. I grabbed onto both of them and started crying myself. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" I choked out between sobs.
Mina stayed the night and Kana went downstairs with General Cross. Mina's gaze was soft as we watched sappy romance movies on my flat screen TV that sat on my wall. I was munching on Pocky when my door opened and General Cross came in.
He cleared his throat and said "I never introduced myself formally, my name is General Cross."
"Go away."
"Your brother Allen sent me here to tell you that he was safe. When I entered the town my innocence meter started to go off. I then went to find you, as I started to your house you were already leaving with your friend. As you ran by my meter went off again."
"What don't you get about 'Go away'?"
"Luna, I have to take you to the Black Order."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then you will be targeted and your family and friends will be killed by Akuma."
My eyes widened at the response then softened and I stared down at the floor. Mina got up and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Luna you have to go to the Black Order." Mina whispered softly. I looked up to her and saw she was crying again but with a sad smile on her face.
"What about Mina and Kana, I can't leave them alone!" I said feeling more strong than what I was before.
"They can't come to the Black Order. They would be in even more danger than they would here."
I turned my gaze away from him once more. I looked back and replied "If I go I want to alert everyone of Akuma and rid of all that are lurking in the shadows for their strike."
"Do we have a deal?"
"Yes."
