Who, What Where
A few days later Hailey and her friend, Rose, were at the local Pizza shop. They sat down next to a window and began to order. Raiyu was then walking by and noticed Hailey and someone else. He strolled in quietly, trying to be unnoticed. "Hey Raiyu! How's it going?"
"Oh hey, I didn't even see you there! Oh well, I'm pretty good. Who is this?" Raiyu said wondering.
"I'm Rose!" She said with a tint of wonder.
Hailey then said suspiciously noticing his hand through his long jacket. "What's wrong with your hand?"
"Oh uhm..." Raiyu said nervously. "I had a little accident, nothing to worry about"
"Uhm alright then." Said Hailey still wondering.
Just then, someone flew into the window at the booth where the three were sitting.
"Is he dead?" Rose said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
When Raiyu looked up to see the other two, all he saw was the glass on the table and the man next to it. Alright I get it. Raiyu thought. And he rushed outside through the window as well.
As Dove and Black Rose rushed to the scene, no one could be seen but the civilians running for their lives. While looking around oblivious to anything behind them, something had attacked Black Rose from behind and knocked her unconscious.
"B.R!" Dove said aloud. I know you're there Vis. Don't play games with me!
"Games…? Who's playing games? You'll just never learn that you can't win against me will you?" Someone said.
Dove rushed to where she heard his voice and thrusted a punch.
"Missed me…" The man spoke again. Dove stood in one spot looking around. "You'd think you'd learn by now that you can't see me! Are you that stupid!"
She heard him speak, but the only thing she knew what to do was continue to look around and hope for a trace of where he is.
"Hey." Another voice came from behind.
"What's th-Aiaaahhh!" The invisible person named Vis screamed as his flesh was shown while he was getting shocked.
"Ninjle!" Dove said, seeming happy to see him.
"Miss me?" He said in a cocky response. "What happened to her?"
"Vis knocked her unconscious" Dove said with a response.
"So that's what he calls himself? Kinda stupid…" Ninjle said.
Just then Black Rose was lifted into the air by none other than Vis, now with some of his flesh exposed.
"She's dead now." Vis said quietly.
"Don't think so" Someone quickly sped from an alley.
"You're too late!" The two heroes stood as Vis' hands were choking B.R.'s neck but the other man kept running forward.
His sword gleamed in the sunlight and was brought forth to Vi's hands.
"Eaaaaaggghhhh" Vis screamed as is partly visable hands fell to the ground.
"Bring her back here!" Dove said flying at him toward the alley.
As she turned the corner he was nowhere to be seen.
Ninjle rushed up next to her "where did he take her?"
"I'm…Not sure…" Dove said concerned.
"You go north; I'll go toward the south. We'll find her." Ninjle said taking control of the situation.
"Alright good idea" Dove said agreeing.
After 2 hours of searching Dove saw a shadowy figure walking away from another alley. She swooped in and saw Black Rose on the ground bandaged and glowing with some strange sense.
"Rose, are you ok?" Dove said quietly.
"Uhh…What happened Hailey?"
Black Rose seemed a little "out of it".
"You tell me Rose! What happened!" Dove repeated.
"The man…saved my life…" She said in a slow response.
The weekend had passed. It had been quiet; not much going on. The peacefulness would end today. RRIIIINNNGGG
"Well my little students," Said the teacher in an old creaky voice,
"We have a new student today, this is Vals. Vals please stand." Vals then stands up.
Rose noticing him sitting next to her Vals answered her thought quietly.
"Can't I sit here?"
"No, it's fine don't worry about it." Rose said with a strange look on her face.
The teacher began her 3-hour daily lecture. Hailey looked behind her to where Rose was and mouthed what's wrong? Rose took out a piece of paper, wrote something, folded it neatly and passed it to Hailey. When she received the note it read: How do u think he read ur thought? She scribbled something down and passed it forward again. Once it came back again it said: A demon? Like the one that…saved u? When Rose started writing again the teacher came over and took the note. You know I can hear what your thinking when you were writing that. Vals said knowingly. How are you doing that? How am I doing that! The teacher's creaky voice began to read the note aloud. Dang! Rose thought to herself. I know what you do. Vals said again telepathically. Eh he, what do you mean? She said worrying.
C'mon, I was the one that killed the squid-demon and rescued you from Vis. He said in reply. But…How did you know! She said becoming impatient. Simple. Your scent. He replied with confidence. Demon! She thought. Is there a problem? Vals said wondering.
A voice was heard over the speaker: "We have information that we're being…"Static was heard.
"What's going on!" Everyone was asking. Rose then looked at Vals; he was gone.
"Where'd he go?" Hailey yelled.
"Where do you think?" Rose said "To save the day.
