Hello, an all new chapter and fun facts

Fun Facts: For those who don't know this story was once called Before & After: Shadow Hearts. I had the intentions to making the scenes from the third video game but changing it into my story, the events still happen but with some interesting changes. It didn't work. I hated how it turn out and I also disliked the title, I couldn't come up with a name so I just did a random name. So I had a major meltdown! Now I am back and recharge with a whole new look. I change the name into a really interesting cool name, I change the plot all around into something I can deal with. The plot changes on... Chapter 3. I am leaving it the way it is so you lovely readers can see the struggle I went through. I have to say I love this new plot more than my old one, I wont be stopping this motion of inspiration drive until the story is complete. Lets see... anything else... there wont be daily updates but I will update it as soon as I can due to having no internet and typing this at the library. I hope you enjoy this new chapter and next time I might not do fun facts, then again im not sure.

Chapter Four: The Concept of Malice

Normal POV:

Hearing the agonizing roar of the monster sent Halley into a panic attack. Still holding the unconscious girl, the beast was tall as a one foot story house, huge body built, doesn't have skin but can see his muscles. The only thing that covers the muscles is his back and the left side of his arm. He was quite a sight to see, very ugly-looking thing, but what monster is a beauty? None. Letting out another roar it charge right at Alice, Yuri moved fast holding her by the waist he was able to move away from the monster only seconds to spar. "Damn thing is fast." Yuri spat as the monster yet again charge at them, this time it hit Yuri when he was protecting Alice shielding her as his back was burning with the imprint of the monster fist. "I can tell you one thing this damn thing is full of malice. Its seeking through his damn pours." Yuri winced in pain as Alice tried to heal.

Halley got up and started to move away from the fight to try to bring the girl to a safer place. Too late. The monster was indeed fast as his fist swipe past Halley jaw line. Halley got hit but was lucky the thing didn't break his jaw. As blood drip down on the girls face, he felt a stir in her movement. Opening her eyes Halley was met with the most beautiful eyes he has ever seen. Her eyes look like there glowing, Halley thought. Reacting in a way he never expected as she pushed him away from her his heart skipped a beat. Crashing his fist down to where Halley and the girl were creating a large crack, Halley winced at the impact imagining if she hadn't move them in time. Watching the girl as she landed a solid heel kick in back of the monster skull it let out a painful roar that almost makes your ears bleed. Flipped over the monster head gracefully landed in front of Halley, summoning two twin swords, curved at the tip of the blade. Around one of the twin swords was a scarlet red ribbon. "Lets dance big boy." Licking the tip of the blade, she dash towards the monster with fire in her eyes slashing off its right hand. As the blood gush out it roar once more, not from the missing hand, but for the replacing hand the was regenerating. "This could be trouble some."

Avoiding cutting any limbs from the beast, the girl tried to analyze the monster as it landed a downward punch. using the opportunity she side kick the monster jaw using his face to pull herself back away from him. Amazed at how well she is handling herself, Halley cheeks begin to blush. Shaking his head he used his abilities to try to aid the girl. The fight was already over. Using what she observed, she used her sword special ability, flames swirling around the swords, in 'X' motion creating a flaming X leaving the monster with a X imprint as the flames burned through its skin. It didn't have a chance to cry in pain as the left blade of her sword was implanted in the frontal lobe of his skull. Wiping off her blades as the monster disappeared in malice light her attention was drawn on Halley. "You attack me and yet you held me as if I was something to you?" She questioned his intentions.

"Well I couldn't let you die." Turning his face to hide his blush marveling how beautiful she looks, even for someone so young. "Why didn't you left us for dead? We were the one's chasing you." Halley stated looking at her eyes to see what her reaction might be.

"The same as yours. I couldn't let you die." With those words it felt like she was saying it directly to him. Oh gad! Am I becoming a pedophilia!? Halley mind became dizzy. Thoughts were soon blank as Yuri and Alice came into the picture. "I'm glad your up brat. Now tell us where the kid is." Yuri for some reason sound calm.

"Cant help you kid I don't know who you're talking about. Even if I did I wouldn't talk to strangers." She had a sarcastic tone in her voice that sent Yuri from yellow mellow to raging red. "Why you little-"

"What do you know about that monster I just killed?" She asked suddenly, Yuri snorted and glared at her. "What if we do? You going to give us the answers were looking for?"

"We might not be so different after all. That thing or whatever smells exactly like the one that killed that boy I saw..." Trailing off in her memory.

"So you do know. Please help us, where in search of him, his parents are very much worried about him." Alice pleaded.

"I like your blood, even yours." Smiling at Alice and Halley. "But you I don't like at all." Pointing her index finger at Yuri. "The feeling is mutual kid." Giving the girl the middle finger which to his demise Alice hit his side with her elbow.

"Im Alice and this asshole is my husband Yuri." Alice introduce.

"Hi, im Halley." His cheeks tinted pink, barely a noticeable blush.

"Sharleen. I didn't mean to attack you, I was just on the offensive. Vampire nature I guess. Follow me, I have something to show you." She started running to where they last saw her partner running off in that direction. As Halley was following behind the girl his mind shifted what she last said. Vampire?
