Daniel

I was so in the zone. I never knew that killing demons could be so….fun. I got a rush of not knowing what would happen next. I was in the middle of a life or death situation and I loved it. Little did I know my high would come tumbling down?

Though I was into the fight I wasn't paying attention to my surrounding, but someone was. In one quick moment I heard Liz's voice screaming my name. I felt like time slowed down when I heard her. Noting flowed the way time should. I turned my head and saw her running towards me with all the speed she had. I saw Jack confined by three demons preventing him from reaching me in time. I watched Cam swinging her hands wildly in the background pointing to something. Then I finally saw it. The purple lighting flew fast and ferrous as time caught up with itself. There was no time to avoid this attack. I knew this is what I was missing, but what I didn't know was how I would survive it. For some reason my life didn't flash before my eyes, maybe it was because I was so young and haven't really lived life or maybe it was because I was to confident in my abilities and I thought I was invincible, or maybe…

The wind blew and I felt a force hit me. I heard a loud painful scream. I hit the ground with the force on top of me shriving. I saw the blood as it flowed from an arm. I heard laugher in the back ground. I also heard people gasping and footsteps running towards me. I gave myself a once over making sure I wasn't injured. I rose from the ground and made it to my knees. I looked around the warehouse to inform my friends that I was alright. That's when I saw something worse than death.

There…. On the cold dirty floor Liz laid half dead. I looked into her eyes as she cried and tried to say her final words. "Dan, she whispered are… you …. Ok…." Hearing her say those words made my blood boil. Knowing I was here to protect the world and she was here protecting me. I started to cry as she did knowing that I had a friend who just discovered this crazy life I live in and risked her own life to save me. Why? Why did she do this? I couldn't stand it. I got so angry that I had to sit here and watch her die when this whole thing could have been avoided. Maybe I would have healed from the lighting; maybe I would have thought on my feet and came up with an idea. I looked into her eyes again as her body slowly stopped moving and she closed her eyes. Maybe it could have been me instead of her.

I arose to see the rest of the demons standing there. Watching. Laughing. My heart staring beating rapidly it felt like my whole body was on fire. My hands started to glow which extended to my body giving me a bright golden aura surrounding me. The demons watched and I could tell they were scared, what I didn't know was how much power I had. I somehow levitated in the air expanding the light with me. With a sudden burst of energy the golden light that surround me released disintegrating every demon I saw fit. I watched as it took them down one by one. Making them watch their friends go and knowing that it was their fate as well. The demons screamed in pain while I'd destroyed them. Though I could see what was going on. I had no control of my own body. It was like something more powerful told a hold of me and it wanted destruction.

The room was empty besides us. I slowly reached the ground and saw Cam over top of Liz. She was still alive barely. I could see the tears from both of them while Liz tried to hang on to life. I wanted it to be my life instead of her, but it was hers in jeopardy. I turned my head to Jack, who was looking towards the corner and my heart stopped when I realized who he was looking at. This demon somehow was unaffected from my blast. He was cloaked with a black rope so I couldn't see his face, but I could feel his eyes staring at me. It pierced through my body like a knife and it gave me the chills, the demon then turned its back from us majestically, and opened a black and purple portal. He turned his head to look at us once more then walked into complete darkness leaving us to wonder who he was.

I collapsed to the ground and grabbed Liz's hand, she squeezed my hand so hard that my own super strength was no use to me. She tried to talk slowly and it looked like every word was slowly killing her. "Dan..I'm…sorry..." I think that was the worst thing she could say to me. I'm sorry. She was dying here and I couldn't do anything about it. I had to just sit back and watch. The tears from my eyes were flowing like a waterfall knowing that this was it, my heart beated with hers as she took her last breath, but something happened. The tears dripped and landed on my hand. Like my body, my hands glowed a bright golden color. I didn't know what was happening, but something inside my told me to place my hands over top of her wound. Within seconds she was completely healed as well as her clothes. Her eyes slowly opened and looked directly at me. She smiled and slowly fainted into unconsciousness.

?

Me and my gang made it back from the warehouse unseen I hope. We retreated into the sewers to return to our hide out. Those kids back there…they weren't human. They were powerful especially the small one. I knew we couldn't take them together so we'd have to take them one at a time…. And we will.
