Chapter 2: Saved by the statue
"What do you mean you're going to kill me? You don't mean literally, right?" Allen asked as he tried to grasp what he had just heard.
"Oh you heard right Allen. The Master has had his eye on you for some time and now that he knows what you are he has given us the orders to finish you off, something of which I will relish greatly."
"What are you talking about? Who is this Master and what does he know about me? I'm just a normal kid with permanent amnesia."
The leader boy snickered again, "Oh I am sure the Master would love to explain to you what he knows but orders are orders Allen Rose and orders must be followed." He then smiled and Allen was shocked to see that his corner teeth were in fact fangs.
Backing away Allen watched as the two other boys also flashed fangs as their eyes turned bright green. Black fur started to sprout across their entire bodies as their clothes melted into their skin and their ears rose up to the top of their heads. Their mouths also jutted forward into snouts with lolling tongues and they dropped to all fours. Once their transformation was complete standing before Allen instead of three boys were three very large Black wolf-like creatures with large wide ears and fangs protruding from their mouths.
Making sounds that sounded very much like laughter the wolf who had been the leader of the boys started to come towards Allen making him back up as quickly as possible only to have something slightly sharp poke him in the back. Turning his head Allen saw that he had backed up right into the strange statue's pedestal and almost was leaning completely on it and was now cornered. Looking back at the wolf Allen saw the wolf crouch down in order to pounce on him and Allen closed his eyes not wanting to see it coming at him.
"Leave him alone!"
Allen opened his eyes and he and the wolves both turned to see Amari standing in the doorway of the room, slightly gasping for breath and the sickly yellow color of her skin that Allen had seen before had returned. What surprised Allen even more though was that she was glaring angrily at the wolves. Amari had never gotten angry at anything as far as Allen had seen before.
"Amari run! Get out of here before they get you too!" Allen cried out to her but she continued to stand there with her thin arms trembling as she clenched her fists.
"I will not allow anything to happen to the captain." She cried out before running at them while Allen could only watch in horror.
Before she was even halfway across the room her appearance started to change just like the wolves had, but not in the same ways. The yellow in her skin intensified until it was a brilliant yellow color and her clothes disappeared just like the wolves. Her features simplified, her ears grew wide and rounded, and her mouth and nose disappeared altogether. The strangest change of all was when a long antenna sprouted out of her head with a bright green leaf growing at the end of it.
Screeching in a high pitched voice, transformed Amari ran right up to one of the wolves and just before he could try to bite her she dodged his head and hopped squarely onto his back. As soon as she was on him she hung on to him with small claw-like hands while the wolf creature tried to throw her off like a bucking bronco trying to throw off a cowboy.
Several seconds later a bright flash of light appeared where Amari had been on the wolf's back and the wolf froze in place before flopping onto the floor dead and smoking as Amari nimbly landed on the ground next to it.
Before she could take another step, however, the other non-leader wolf snapped her up into its jaws and started to squeeze her. The very noise that she made then as the wolf continued to crush her tore at Allen's very soul as he watched helplessly while she repeatedly tried to escape the its sharp teeth.
Suddenly the sharp sound of bone snapping rent the air and Amari flopped down limp in the wolf's jaws, the life literally squeezed out of her. Before he could swallow her, however, she dissipated into a fine yellow mist that floated up into the air. A second later Allen suddenly noticed that the dead wolf had also disappeared and a larger billow of black substance also floated up into the air before fading out into nothing like the yellow mist had.
The leader wolf watched his comrade repeatedly spit out the remains of Amari for a minute and shook his head in disappointment before turning back to face Allen again. Renewed growls from him forced the sadness out of Allen and replaced it with fear. The wolf leader then made a sound very much like a chuckle as if it thought Amari's act of defiance against them was a stupid thing for her to do, which Allen sadly admitted in his mind it was.
Crouching down once again the leader wolf prepared to charge Allen head on.
Holding up one of his arms in protection Allen leaned backward onto the pedestal grabbing on top of it with his hand.
A brilliant flash of light, even brighter than the one from before, filled the entire room forcing Allen to have to cover his eyes with his hands. Growls of irritation from the wolves told Allen that they also had been blinded by the light until one of the growls turned into a yelp of surprise before falling silent.
Blinking rapidly several times Allen dared to open his eyes and what he saw both surprised and shocked him; in fact what he saw shouldn't have been possible.
Behind him where the statue he had been was now only an empty stand and right in front of him standing between him and the remaining wolf was the statue, very much alive and clearly not made out of stone.
The statue glared at the wolf with its dark eyes, daring it to come at him and making the wolf snort at it like it was nothing. After several seconds the wolf finally did charged at the statue jaws opened wide to snap it up like the other wolf had with Amari.
Before the wolf could seize it, however, the statue had hopped up into the air and over the wolf's head landing on the wolf's back, which it then quickly turned around so it was facing the back of the wolf's head.
The wolf growled and tried to bite the statue several times without any success. Trying something else it then tried to ram the back of its head into the statue's helmet which not only did nothing to hurt it but also seemed to irritate it. Pulling its right fist back the statue punched the back of the wolf's neck and the sound of bones snapping rang through the air once again. Head lolling forward the wolf fell forward and slid a few feet forward before stopping less than two feet away from Allen and like the other two dissolving into smoke.
Wiping the dust and black powder from off its suit the statue smiled, pleased with itself for several seconds before it finally noticed Allen's presence.
Staring at Allen the statue said something to Allen but the meaning was totally lost to him. Walking over to him the statue tried to say something again while looking at Allen from head to toe with a slight look of disdain.
"Hey! I may not be able to understand you but I can tell when someone is saying something rude about me."
Allen's outburst caught the statue off guard and it took a step backwards away from him. Shaking its head the statue continued to back away from him saying something over and over with eyes wide.
A sound of running footsteps instantly grabbed Allen's attention and he looked behind him to see much to his horror Mr. Lusky, two parent chaperones, and several security guards running towards him. One of the guards had already seen him and was shouting at him to stay where he was.
Turning away from them Allen's heart nearly leaped out of his chest when he saw a giant portal of some form was now hovering only an inch from the ground in the middle of the room. Most of the time the actual inside of the portal was very dark making it hard for Allen to see down it except when an occasional flash of light pulsed through it and illuminated the inside of it. Currently the statue was standing in front of the portal and It gave Allen a look that said "Good luck" before jumping into the portal.
As soon as the statue had disappeared from view the portal started to shrink down and as Allen watched it he knew that it would be gone before anybody could see it and would leave him alone to try to explain the sudden disappearance of four students and a statue on display.
Looking at the group of adults coming at him one last time Allen ran towards the portal and barely got into it before the portal became too small to enter before promptly winking out of existence form that world.
