Chapter 8: Powers of a Dead Man



It was early in the morning when Shantei and Aya woke up. Lavitz was no where to be seen, and they were all alone.

Folding her arms Shantei pouted, "that jerk! He left us all alone! Follow us and protect us, HA!"

Aya wasn't listening to her friend's whining and pouting, she was more worried about Lavitz and what happened last night.

"Hello! Aya! WAKE UP!" Shantei yelled into Aya's ear.

Clutching her head Aya cried in pain as she went from daydreaming into reality. "Oww. You don't have ta yell at me!" she cried.

Smirking Shantei stared at the glistening river, and how so many fish passed by. Her stomach started grumbling and her mouth was watering. "Oh, I could die for at least one of those fishies." she said eyeing the fish.

Aya didn't want to, but it was tempting to just jump into the water and grab one. "AH! I can't take it! You now made me hungry, I'm gonna go get one!" she yelled getting up and walking over by the river, but bumped into something solid as rock. Lavitz.

"Are you sure you want to go for a swim. The water is freezing. You could catch a cold."

She looked up to see a wet Lavitz holding a bucket full of fish. Her eyes widened at how many, and she started to drool. "D-did you go swimming? Just to get those? And won't you catch a cold?" she asked looking him up and down and stating how wet he was.

"I'll be fine, I'm a ghost, remember?" he walked over to the now burnt out fire and lifted his hand just above it. His hand glowed red and a fireball rose and created a fire in the mini pit.

The girls' eyes widened more then before and then they stared at Lavitz.

"H-how did you do that?" Shantei asked timidly.

Lavitz didn't answer her, he didn't feel like talking about his powers yet.

She put her hands up, "fine. Be that way!"

Aya was too busy staring at the fish that were now cooking beside the fire. Lavitz noticed this and eyed her until she noticed.

"What? I'm hungry, okay!" she said to him.

He smiled slightly, "wait until it's done cooking. Okay?"

Her frown turned even lower then before. "Okay. You're the chef here."

Shantei let out a small chuckle, but quickly stopped when Lavitz shot her a glare. "Hehe. Sorry."

The fish was finished cooking and Shantei and Aya gobbled it down like it was going to be taken away. Lavitz stared at them in shock as they even devoured the bones. He only ate a little portion, ghosts don't eat do they?

After they were done, the girls packed up all their belongings, and followed Lavitz once again. Actually it was better to have a ghostly guide then be all alone in the foggy forest areas, lost.

"So? How far to Lohan?" Aya asked looking at the map.

Shantei took the map and pointed out how far. "Hmm. Maybe about 5 km?" she suggested. Lavitz chuckled slightly to himself. 'Kids. Don't know how to calculate a map.' He took the map from Shantei, who stared up at him furious. He just shrugged it off.

"We're about 10km from Lohan, we also have to go through Eement Forest. That will take a while, it's all foggy in there, and it's easy to get lost, you should hold on to my robe so you don't get lost when we show up, alright?" he said speaking to the younger girls.

Aya gulped, " we could get lost? Then I'm really gonna stick to you." She already was grabbing hold of his robe, and she started shaking.

'I hope dad doesn't find us.' she thought.

"Fine, but to tell you the truth, I won't get lost!" Shantei said as she stopped off in front of Lavitz and Aya.

"Shantei! Wait, we should listen to Lavitz! There could be monsterrrrrrrssssssssssss!!!!! EKKKK!" Aya screamed as she slid down the steep hill.

Shantei ran up to the edge. "Aya! Are you okay!" she yelled down to her.

Groaning could be heard at the bottom. "Yeah! I'm alright! Huh? HEY! You guys gotta come see this!" she yelled up toward Shantei and Lavitz.

Lavitz heard her and picked up Shantei. "Hold on." He told her.

: BOTTOM:

Aya stood up and dusted herself off, and looked around. "Wow. It so mystical." she said to herself.

"Aya! You okay?" Shantei aid running up to her friend.

She nodded, "Yup! Me okay!" She thought for a second. "Lavitz? Where are we?" she asked getting scared.

Lavitz stared out into the dense fog, all you could her were the sounds of hooting and crickets chirping. His eyes scanned the area slowly, until it landed on a figure in the shadows. He narrowed his eyes and pushed Shantei and Aya behind him.

An evil laughter came from the fog. "Hehehe, so you could see me though all this fog huh? Well that won't matter."

The voices of other people came from all sides of the hill around the group of three. Lavitz slowly tensed as he felt the energy the people were giving off.

"What do you want!" he stated boldly.

Snickers were heard from all around and the bodies came into full view. As Aya watched her eyes widened in terror. Her father and his buddies were the ones in front of them.

Shantei shot deadly glares at the Mystics in front of them. She remembered how Aya was so terrified of them, and how her father had hurt her. She came into the front beside Lavitz brandishing her daggers.

"Oh, it's you. The other one." Aya's father stated scornfully.

"Yeah, now it's payback time buddy! For what you did!" she yelled back.

Lavitz put his hand in front of Shantei's mouth, which shut her up. " Tell me, what do you want!" he asked again, but more forcedly.

Aya's father stepped up. "I want my daughter. She's coming home." He looked at the trembling figure of Aya behind Lavitz's robe. "Come on sweetheart, you don't want to stay with these rouges, now do you?" he said in a seething voice.

Aya's lips quivered as she answered him. "I'm not going home! I'm a fallen Mystic! You said you didn't love me, and that you hated me! You even said I wasn't your daughter! I'll never go back to you! You'll just lock me up like all the others!" she shrieked at him.

Her father narrowed his eyes and launched himself at Aya. Lavitz pushed Shantei back along with Aya. "RUN! I'll handle them!" he yelled at them.

Shantei nodded her head and grabbed Aya who was telling Lavitz to be careful. They ran off into the fog.

Lavitz saw the other two on each side speed off in that direction and created a barrier. "I'll never let you lay your hands on them! Now back off!" he yelled as a gust of wind blew them off their feet and onto their bottoms.

The leader smirked, "you really think a little wind spells gonna hurt me? Well your wrong!" He sped toward Lavitz with a Falicon in his hands.

Lavitz knowing the smart move, moved out of the way. "I don't need magic to defeat you! I don't even need to use my hands or legs!" he called to them.

The others growled and also sped toward Lavitz but with unseen magic. Non had any affect on him, until.

"UGH!" Lavitz yelled as he was hit backward into the rocky ledge of the hill. The magic was Earthen and light mixed together. Lavitz is also now half Darkness so it was double the hit, and the magic was stronger since it came from a mystic, children of the earth.

The leader walked up and stopped 10 feet away from Lavitz. "Hehe, I told you were no match for me. Now where is the girl!" he yelled.

Lavitz grinned and laughed like he was possessed. "Heh. Who said you beat me? You didn't even touch me. Your men did. Not you and I would never, tell you were Aya is. You don't need her!" He said as he laughed.

The leader's blood began to boil as he heard Lavitz's mocking laugh. "I've had it with you!" He raised his sword and dove for Lavitz.

: Sidelines:

Shantei and Aya were watching the scene from a big oak tree. "Oh. God! Shantei! My father is gonna kill him!" Aya said shaking Shantei.

"He's already dead. Remember?" she told Aya.

: Battle:

The sword drove right into Lavitz chest earning a yell from Lavitz. "ARGHHH!"

The leader smiled evilly at this, and broke the hilt of the sword off, leaving the blade in Lavitz's chest. He was still clutching the blade though. "Shows you how powerful I am, huh?" he put his free hand under Lavitz's chin and raised it to look at his face.

Lavitz breathed heavily as he stared with venomous eyes into the leaders. The blood seeped from Lavitz wound and onto the ground, and also soaking his robes. "Y-your not that p-powerful." Lavitz stated stuttering because of the pain.

The leader punched Lavitz's face and started digging the blade deeper into Lavitz. "Ughhh!" Lavitz clenched his teeth as the blade was driven deeper into his body.

"You can never beat me! No hand over the girl and you may live!" he yelled as he stopped.

Lavitz bent his head low and started shaking. He closed his eyes and opened them to have them a demonic colour of red. He raised his head looking at the leader straight in the eyes.

"You can't kill me. I'm already dead." his voice said demonically.

The leader tried to get his hands off the blade but to no avail. He screamed, "What did you do! What are you!"

Lavitz lifted his hands slowly and put them on the blade part that was half in his chest. "I'm your worst nightmare." he whispered to him. The leader's eyes widened as he was electrocuted. His eyes turned pure white as he was blown off the blade with emense force. He landed with a hard THUD on the ground by his men.

"Gavv!" one of them yelled as they ran to their fallen leader.

After picking up the convulsing Gavv, one screamed out at Lavitz. "We'll be back! Just you wait demon!" he yelled. The group of Mystics sped of with their leader and headed to home.

Aya stared wide-eyed at the fallen form of Lavitz against the rock. "He. Did you see what he did?" she asked her bewildered friend.

"Yeah. He was like a demon." Shantei said with a slight bit of fear in her voice.

Lavitz breathed heavily as the blood started to dry in the robes, the sword did more damage then he thought, it's because he was in his solid state. His eyes were back to normal and his voice back as well.

"Lavitz?" a tiny voice came form the nearby oak.

He lifted his head slightly to look at Aya and Shantei's figures coming toward him, with looks of great concern.

"Are you okay.?" Shantei asked scared to get close.

Lavitz mentioned to the blade stuck in his chest. "D-does this l-look alright?" he said with coldness in his voice.

Aya knelt beside him and put her hands on the blade, which caused Lavitz to cuss slightly. "We have to take it out. Or it will get infected!" she said to the shivering Lavitz.

"I. I can get I-it out b-by myself." he stuttered.

Shantei knelt beside him as well and put her hands on the blade too. "Aya on three. One. Two. THREE!" she yelled.

They pulled on the blade quickly as Lavitz hissed and cursed slightly to the pain. "D-damn it all!" he hissed.

Aya went though her pack and found an old blanket and also a large bandage. She noticed Lavitz had gone unconscious and quickly tired to mend his wound. She covered him up with the blanket.

Shantei looked at Aya. "I'm gonna go find some help, you stay here." She took off.

Aya stared down at Lavitz's form as a tear slid from her cheek. "This is all my fault." she whispered.
