Almost didn't post this today, I was trying to make sure it was perfect.
The men that were with her dad started to go around the gym, looking at the injured students. Her dad kneeled down next to her and smiled.
"I already know what you're thinking, but I can assure you, we aren't here for you." He said, "You see, I've been wondering on how to truly break you, to truly beat you, that's when I got an idea... take everything you care about, rip it from you, and destroy it."
He stood up and kicked her in the head, sending her back to the ground. He grabbed her by the hair and smirked.
"Think about it, all these people dead while you watch, nothing you can do to stop it." He threw Luz on the ground, her head bouncing off the floor, "Alright, immobilize her, and wait for her to wake up, I have to... pick up a few things before leaving."
He walked over to Eda and reached into her hair. He pulled out the key and smiled.
"You would think he would look into who's working for him. He may not have, but I did. I know you get Human Realm items, so I knew you had to have a way there." He said, "Just one more thing."
He got up and started walking to the next thing he needed to grab. When Luz woke up, she saw that she was being held up by two of her dad's henchmen. She looked around and saw that her dad was gone. Another one of her dad's men walked up to her.
"So, you're the Avatar? How disappointing." He said, "I was hoping that we could have a bit more fun, it's not as fun to kill a child... that being said, torturing you by killing each of these students, one by one, it's almost as good as killing you."
He walked over to the unconscious students and looked between them.
"Now, who to pick?" He wondered.
"N-n-no." Luz said weakly.
He turned around and walked over to Luz. He punched her in the stomach and the other two dropped her. Luz fell to the floor, where he kicked her in the stomach.
"It seems that someone is starting to get her feeling back." He looked at the two that were holding her, "Chi Block her again."
They started to chi block Luz, sending her back to the ground. They grabbed her by her hair and forced her to look up. The man walked over to Eda and grabbed her.
"You want to play games? Fine, the first to die is your mentor." He said, "She thought we didn't know her little plan? We were just keeping her close to keep an eye on her."
He pressed a knife against her chest. He looked at Luz, taunting her to do something. Luz watched with tears starting to form.
"No... please." Luz said, weakly.
Eda started to open her eyes and saw what was going on. Eda grabbed the knife and started to fight against the man holding her. Eda hit the man in the face, not getting all of the hit, still being a little dizzy.
"You incompetent wench!" He said, kicking Eda in the leg, sending her to the ground, "I don't know why Master Caine let you go on with your little spy trick for so long!"
Eda stood up and summoned her staff. She charged at him and hit him with her staff. She made a spell circle and sent a yellow beam at him. He was knocked back by her blast and growled. He got up and stomped on the ground, causing a large rock spire to form. Eda barely dodged it and used her staff hit the spire and knock it back at him. He got annoyed and looked at the chi blockers.
"Let go of the Avatar! She isn't going anywhere!"
They dropped Luz, who still couldn't move, and went to go chi block Eda. Eda was too fast, using her staff to teleport past them and try and get to Luz. Eda kneeled next to Luz and tried to get her up.
"Don't worry Kid, I'll get you out of here." Eda said.
"No, get everyone else out!" Luz said, "They don't want to kill me!"
"I'm not going to-"
Eda was cut off by a large pain going through her chest. She looked down and saw a knife going through her chest and gem.
"Eda!" Luz screamed.
Eda had tears roll down her face, not from pain, but because she won't be able to see Luz become the witch she knows she can be.
"I'll... I'll be fine Luz." Eda said, knowing that was a lie, "Thank you, Luz... for being... in my life."
Eda closed her eyes for the last time. The man started laughing and dropped Eda's body, before he looked at the rest of their captives.
"Who next?" He heard something and noticed Luz getting up, "Chi Blockers! Put her down!"
They ran at Luz and hit her Chi Points, but Luz stayed standing, looking at the ground. Her fear, her one true fear, the thing she was afraid of Grom exploiting... losing someone she cares about because of her father, that was what she feared, and that is what just happened. He had them kill Eda, he is responsible for Eda's death... HE KILLED EDA! Luz clenched her hands and looked up, revealing glowing eyes.
