"River", I yelled repeatedly as I thrashed around trying to break free of the Saberguards grip, even though I was still bound by wire. Then they continued to carry me a hooded cloth covered my head. I couldn't see.
Moments later they, threw me on the ground and unhooded me. I wiggled my way to the door, just in time to hear River scream. I rolled around and thrashed in anger. I promised I'd protect River. I had to protect, promise or not; girlfriend or not.
I looked for anything which could've helped me break free of whatever was binding my wrist and ankles. The floor was cold and hard; stone. There were no windows or light seeping from anywhere, but the room seemed to be fairly lit. It was a bare room, probably for storage or something.
I continued to search my thoughts for an answer. Nothing came, I sat for hours helplessly. Then it happened, a rattle. The whole room shook violently. A crack shot across the ceiling. Chips of cement and stone started to fall I didn't know which way to crawl. The ceiling started to shatter by the chunks now. Sun light blasted through the ceiling, as wings beat the air around. I couldn't see clearly at first, but as my eyes adjusted to the light I realized there was still hope to save River.
Night Raven landed on the edges of the walls, for he was too large to fit in the small room I which I was being held captive.
"GYAOOOOO!" Night Raven squawked in joy with what looked like a smile. I smiled back.
"Can you get me out of these?" I asked Night Raven. He squawked a response. Night Raven started foaming at the mouth, and coincidentally his drool dripped. I looked down as the chains started to melt away.
"Huh? Acid drool?" I asked myself.
"Uh, ya. Every wyvern has that ability", Nate said in boredom as we neared our escape. I quickly backed up.
"What do you want", I asked?
"For you to die, but that's obviously not going to happen on its own; now is it", he said vanished into a cloud of darkness. I rolled to the left expecting him to appear from behind. Nothing happened. An eerie noise traveled through the air. I couldn't see where it was coming from, but as I turned around in search for it, a giant ball of black energy matter was whirled at. I ducked as fast as I could. I traced back the path to where the energy ball had come from and there a found a small trial of black darkness fume lingering. The path of fumes continued to travel.
Then it hit me, literally. A ball of black energy matter smacked me on the arm; it sent me sliding on the ground. I took a peek at my arm only to realize that the black energy was slowly eating away at my arm. ' Awwww' I shrieked in my head. My facial expression suddenly jumped from bravery to fear.
"Oh ya, the black matter has a tendency to eat away anything it touches, so I wouldn't mess with it any more if I were you." Nate said out of nowhere. I was still having a hard time track him. My vision started to blur a bit.
I focused on the fumes of darkness. Soon I realized they were headed right for me. I summoned a sword of light and swung in a timingly manner. Nate Reappeared on the ground. He quickly vanished back into the air and reappeared with two large black matter energy balls. He hurled them at me. I split the first one with my sword. Then I willed the light of my sword into a giant ball of light. I jumped and glided through the air, hurling my ball of light at Nate's ball of darkness.
The two energy forces met, forming a calamity. The two energies became unstable; though they stayed there for a few second as if they were fighting or something. Now the whole building started to shake, and with that Night Raven prepared himself for flight. His wings flapped violently, as he lifted himself into the air. I ran avoiding flares and sparks of energy and barely snagged ahold of Night Ravens foot.
I'd personally figured that the two energy balls would've neutralized each other's power powers, but obviously they had the exact opposite effect. Looking back, Nate had already fled the scene as I did. Well I sure didn't want be around to see what happened next up close.
The energy forces started to circle each other, then suddenly the clashed into one. Everything was still for a sec, then out of nowhere a blast exploded, destroying the whole area.
"RIVER!" I yelled.
"What", a voice moaned from above Night Raven. I quickly looked up to see a girls face; I wanted to believe it was River but my vision started to blur even more as the Black Matter dissolved my body. It hadn't gotten very far; it was still only at my arm.
"River, I'm s…sorr..y", I said as my life continually drained out of me. I slowly fainted away. I tried to hold onto reality, but I continually lost my grip on it. The last thing I remember was a girl's voice whispering to me, "She's okay." The voice was soothing.
I felt my body free falling; then a sudden jerk. At that point I'd completely lost all consciousness.
"And then when my parents found out they abandoned me", an unfamiliar voice said.
"But why would they abandon you just because of that", I asked looking around to find no one in the room. I was in a bed. My arm was wrapped. I could still see a trace of Black Matter Creep up my arm as it made its way deeper into my body.
"Huh? Oh you're awake finally", the invisible voice said, "How much did you hear?"
"Not much. Where am I", I asked looking around frantically, "And where are you?"
"Oh right. Sorry", a girls voice said as she appeared out of a vapor of darkness, "I'm Amy. I saved you guys."
"You guys? And where did you get that power?" I questioned.
"Yeah, you, your wyvern, and a girl", She said as if she were avoiding my question.
"And your power?" I asked again.
"I'll be right back", Amy said as she vanished on her way out the door.
"Wait!" I yelled out, but I was a second too late. She had the same power as Nate which gave me reason to believe she was helping him somehow.
I rolled myself off the table onto my hands and knees. I picked myself up and crept to the door and put my ear to it.
"Amy, we don't have time", a man said sternly.
"Well buy me some. I'm not leaving them helpless. Plus they might be able to lead me to their friend", Amy said with a quiet giggle.
"Is that him", the man said pointing my way. I ran for the bed. Well at least I knew she wasn't here to hurt us, or maybe I was supposed to hear that! Maybe she's tricking me! Thoughts raced through my head. Amy walked into the room. "Get under the bed! Quick, do it or you'll die!" She said to me.
Without hesitation I moved my body under the bed. The pain in my shoulder shrieked, but I but my lip to suppress the yell. I couldn't tell what was going on, but I heard a bunch of ruckus. Then someone came into the room where I was, they walked in and right out. I stayed hidden.
"No matter what happens, stay here. No matter what you hear, Kay?" River said as I nodded my head from beneath the bed. Then the worst thing happened that I could think of.
"NOOOO! NOOO!" River's voice roared out. She was definitely put up a fight. I immediately ran for the door. I grabbed the knob, and ran straight into the door. It was locked. River thrashed and freaked out. She was wounded also, and obviously couldn't take care of herself. I was just as helpless as she was. I watched in agony as River was taken away against her and my will.
Suddenly I couldn't move. I was starting to black out again. I took a last glance down at my arm as I saw the Black Matter slowly creep its way onto my chest.
