Chapter 11: The Memories
Everything that had happened was a blur for me. I could barely breathe, much less move. Slowly, I willed myself to open my eyes and I saw Kanta-kun standing ahead of me. "Ka…nta…kun…"
He looked back at me with a slight look of relief. I knew that he couldn't be strong enough to fight back—but then again, I wasn't in the position to help. I noticed someone standing near me and I clenched my fists in happiness. Kiyo had finally come. As they fought, I tried my hardest to try and remember what had happened…
I was running from that Mamodo and his partner—I tried to call Kiyo for help, but he didn't answer. It was too early. Then, Kanta-kun helped me hide when I fell. He ran and I felt helpless. Slowly, I forced myself to get up, but I was only hurting myself as I tried to get up. The branches tore at my skin and I felt like throwing up. The pain on my back hurt too much, but I had to help. My promise…
In desperation, I gathered all of my energy and jerked myself onto my knees—managing to cough up blood in the process. My knees shook, but I hurried myself onto my legs and limped towards where Kanta-kun ran. I heard a shout behind me, and I turned to see sharp rocks hurtling towards me. I stood there, letting the rocks scratch away at me.
'That's one less attack to hit Kanta-kun…' I thought to myself. I found myself quickly limping, trying to escape that boy. I had no idea where to run to, but I decided that hiding in the forest area would be smart. I ran for what felt like hours and my bruises hurt enough for me to faint, but I have the book. They'll destroy it. I heard fighting and screaming behind me. Kanta-kun! Although, I was in the clearing now, and there was nowhere to hide. Kanta-kun was present, screaming at the other two and pain-stricken to see my condition. He hurried over to help me stand and the book hadn't a single drop of blood on it. Not on my life would that book ever be ruined. Another rock started to hurtle towards us and I said what I thought was to be my final words, "I'll keep my promise…"
There was a bright light, and then I blanked out.
Was it then when Kiyo came to help? I couldn't push myself upwards so I grabbed the book. Just barely, I was able to tug on Kanta-kun's cloak. "Now…"
He looked at me worriedly and shook his head. He didn't want me to use the book. It was only a simple word and I had enough grief and anger in me to burn apart the city. I glared and Kanta-kun turned towards the boy.
I opened the book to the first spell. My words were more of a sigh, but I said them. I said the spell words clearly enough for Kiyo, Zatch, and Kanta-kun to hear me. "An'kar…"
There was a rumble in the ground… and then it shook horribly. Obviously, I couldn't go into unconsciousness, so I fought the will to throw up. An enormous demon erupted from the crack that the earthquake had created. Kin and Garin tried to fight back with his attacks, but it was no use since… animate things couldn't hurt demons. I shut my eyes as I heard a terrifying crunch. It wasn't bone. I couldn't tell what it was, but I knew Kanta-kun wouldn't do that to anyone. But that wasn't the end of them. There was shouting and I quickly heard Kiyo and Zatch run into combat as lightning flashed past me. Then there was a bright light…
End of Chapter 11: The Memories
Author's Note: Lots of err... bright lights. XD Anyway, I'm finally back from my trip to Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and San Diego. If you live at any of those places and saw a nerdy girl with glasses, braided hair, and a blue hat... well, that was me! XD Anyway, this chapter was pretty much showing my devotion to Kanta-kun. I think it's cute.
With almost no souvernirs,
Sammy
