Akira
Chapter 1
The dog barked once, and then no more. A high yelp was followed by a ferocious roar. Akira stood up and walked to the door. Akira was fourteen, she had long blonde hair and sea-green eyes. "That sounded like Jenny, Sharon's dog," Akira said to herself. "I hope she wasn't hit by a car." Akira opened the door and stepped outside. It was around nine o'clock, at night, and it was dark outside. "I wish Mom and Dad would hurry up and get home," she whispered to herself. She closed the door behind her and walked to the sidewalk, looking carefully at the road. She didn't see Jenny, but when she looked down at the grass by her feet she saw a huge pawprint with huge claw imprints. Akira looked around nervously. "I'm going back in to call Sharon." She turned around and saw a huge seven foot tall creature staring at her. It looked like a mix between a wolf and a lion. It had long fangs and razor sharp claws. It roared at her, a deep, shrieking roar. Akira screamed and ran. She sprinted across the street, but the creature leapt high into the air and landed in front of her. Akira fell backwards on the sreet. The creature slashed at her, it's claws raking her arm slightly. Akira gasped in pain and screamed again as the creature drew it's paw back to slash her again. "Ki lae ara, ko rai sae soo la na," She heard someone chanting. "So rae ta, soo la mei na." Akira looked over and saw a young teen boy pointing at the creature and her. "Mara ni lai soo lei mai rana." Akira and the creature began to glow, and then a circle of light spread beneath them. The creature growled and put it's paw on Akira, pushing dwon heavily. Instead of being crushed, she sunk into the light. The creature's hind feet began to sink. Akira gasped as her whole body, including her face, slipped under the light. She suddenly dropped a short way, then hung suspened in the air. She then dropped like a stone and hit the ground heavily, jolting her eyes shut. As she lay there, she heard a heavy thump, and the earth trembled beneath her. She opened her eyes, stood up, and turned around warily. The boy stood on the creature's back, with a sword buried between the creature's shoulders. The boy pulled the sword out and leapt lightly to the ground. He glanced over and seemed to notice her for the first time. He held the sword tighter and approached her, he didn't look to happy.
