Chapter 7: Savior
Alfred stumbled backwards, falling to the floor. Just then, Maya realized what she has done. She dropped the gun. It scattered into pieces as she collapsed to the stone floor.
"I…I killed my little brother."
Virginia yelled out to the teams. "Look, he's still alive!"
Alfred arose from the floor. He gazed through the red shield protecting him. It bared ancient symbols of the gods.
"What is this?" Alfred said, the shield disappearing around him. "Someone used the Infinite Jewel to protect me."
"I know!" Gallows said coming to another stupid scheme. "Let's check everyone to see if they're holding the jewel! If that person helped Alfred, then maybe he or she is holding it right now!"
"Gallows, please shut up," said Jet. "Remember, Clive said that the jewel can be triggered just by focusing its powers."
Gallows melted down in a puddle of embarrassment.
"But I don't understand at all!" Alfred barked. "Why save me? I thought this person stated that blood was the reason for living!"
Everyone store down at the youth.
Maya snapped back to her arrogant self. "Hush now, the adults are talking."
Virginia made an announcement to everyone. "Who is this person? He chose to save Alfred, though he said he liked killing."
"How do you know this person is a he!" Maya snapped hastily.
"Think," said Virginia. "We are they only girls on the team. One of our clues removed the leaders from the suspect line. All our team members are male."
"Wow, Princess you're being smart for once." Janus smirked.
"I should continue reading," said Virginia. "Then we can find out who Alfred's savior is…"
