Chapter 3

An Offensive Meeting

Jin's POV

This cat creature had just fallen from the sky. Instantly my demon blood surged, which caused me to transform and take to the nighttime sky. I tried to attack it but the thing was too fast for me. I missed by mile and came around to attack again and right before my attack collided, it just disappeared. I looked around for the cat but it had vanished… or so I had thought. When I looked up the cat was coming right at me with its claws ready to strike. I barely had time to block it with my wings. I cried out when I felt its claws pierce the flesh of my wings. But then I pushed it away with my wings and it sailed away and righted itself with a back flip then landed nimbly on its feet. I charged it once again the lighting gathering in my eyes…

Riku's POV

The purple monster was heading straight at me again. I crouched down and waited for him to get closer. My muscles coiled up in preparation for the impending jump. Just as he was about to attack me, I release the tension in my hind legs and sprung into the air. I sailed over the creature's back skimming the surface of it, being sure to let my claws rake across its flesh. I landed surely behind it and turned back around to watch the creature scream in agony. I smirked in my triumph and continued my assault. I lunged at the creature and dug my claws into its back. It howled in distress once again. It began thrashing its wings and reaching behind himself to try and grab me. But I was just out of his reach.

"Get off!" it cried. For a moment, I was so stunned that I nearly let go until the creature pushed off the ground and into the sky. Then out of sheer surprise and feline instinct I dug my claws even deeper into its flesh. Another scream erupted from the purple beast but this time, it sounded more human. The creature dove towards the trees below us. All I could do was hang on and hope I did not fall…

Jin's POV

I could barely focus because of the pain. This creature's sharp claws were impaling my back. Out of pure desperation, I dove towards the trees doing every aerial trick I knew. Then I began to corkscrew towards a particular tree hoping to shake the feline hybrid lose or scare it off. I watch the tree grow bigger and bigger as I drew nearer and nearer to it. But the grip the monster had on me would not break; in fact it had gotten tighter. I finally had to pull up to keep from bashing my head against the tree. I eyed another tree across the clearing and got an idea. I looked back at the tree in front of me and sped towards it again and just before I collided with it, I flipped over and pushed off the trunk with my feet. I felt some of the bark give way beneath the pressure exerted by my momentum as I pushed off. I was focused as I watched the other tree I espied a few moments before get closer at an alarming rate. About three inches from the tree I flipped over again and braced my legs for the impact. I heard the bark give way and the wood splinter as I pushed off again. Now, I had enough momentum to knock the cat's grip loose or break its claws, whichever one came first. The forest around my unwelcome passenger and me was nothing but a blur of green and brown except for the tree that I was aiming for. "Come on, come on…" I mentally urged myself to continue forward as the tree got closer. Then about a split second before I collided with the tree I spun around and I allowed the feline to take the force of the crash…

Riku's POV

"Ahhhhhrrrooowwwlll!!" I screamed and half growled as pain shot through every nerve in my body. Then the pain was over just like that and was replaced instantly by a numbing sensation. I felt my muscles relax including the ones that kept my claws extended. I could feel my claws sliding from his flesh as my vision began to fade and I felt myself fall… then I felt soft lurch as I came around again. I could see the glimpses of the ground below as I struggled to open my eyes. "Why did I stop falling?" I thought to myself when I realized that I was not plummeting to the earth. Then I felt a tight grip on the back of my shirt. I looked up to see that the purple creature was holding me up. Then before I had the chance to gasp in surprise, the winged being threw me at a nearby tree. I only had time to gasp before I hit the tree. I was sure that I felt one of my ribs snap on impact. I cried out and starting plummeting after I bounced off the tree trunk. The wind howled in my ears as I continued to fall accelerating all the while. I tried to turn and see if there was anything I could grab on to that could stop or slow my fall but the wind pressure was to powerful for me to move. Then I saw a blur out of my peripheral vision… Then I felt two strong, lavender arms grip me around the waist. Then the creature jerked me upwards so hard and fast that I contracted whiplash in my neck and shoulders. I screamed as I was hoisted upwards at an amazing speed before being thrown at another nearby tree. Instantly my nerves lit up with pain as I ricocheted off the tree and started to drop again. Then I was grabbed and slung into another tree… and another… and another… and another… until I was knocked nearly delirious. I could not tell up from down or the earth from the sky. I was in a daze; the only thing I could make out or even comprehend was the agony-inducing rhythm I was trapped in. Tree… pain… falling… Tree… pain… falling…Tree…pain… Tree… pain… pain… never-ending pain… numbness… numbness… numb… nothing…

Jin's POV

The feline creature was bruised and bloodied plus he was unconscious. I was holding him in my arms hovering in midair. I looked down at the ground below me. "Okay, let's finish this…" I thought. I dove towards ground, looped around before heading straight for the ground once more with the creature tucked beneath me. The wind howled loudly as I plummeted to earth, letting the creature's weight add to my speed. The ground was growing larger and more detailed as I closer and closer to it. At first it was just a haze of yellow, then it became a patch of brown and yellow. Then I could make out the individual blades of grass before I threw the creature down onto the earth. I continued to hover above the creature. It still did not stir but something inside me knew it was not over yet…

Riku's POV

As I started to regain consciousness, I instantly began to regret it. Pain had begun to course through every part of my body. I struggled to make it to my feet and blood was dripping down my face. My legs continuously gave out beneath me. I finally managed to plant my right foot and slowly forced myself to stand. My arms throbbed unmercifully as I put weight them. I growled in defiance at the creature and he glared back. We both continued to stare each other down and watch each others wounds ooze blood. Both of us were hunched over and breathing hard. The purple winged creature tested its wings in preparation for flight. I could see the puncture wounds in his wings where I had attacked him. The wings… I had to take out his wings… or else my brains would be scrambled against a tree if that purple freak got me off the ground again. I narrowed my eyes as I started to circle the beast trying to find an opening…
