Told you I was updating quick. So, let's get to the story shall we?

Death if Apart

Chapter 2

(Nuri's P.O.V.)

I was half asleep when I heard the birds screeching. I run outside and I see them doing unnatural things. They look like they were panicking because they were flying in bizarre ways. Some were going around in circles while others were zigzagging. Some birds even collided with other birds. What the heck is going on?

More questions were made when the ground shook after a big "BOOM!"

"Nuri!" yelled out an all too familiar Faerie, Grodel. He was the one who name me and took care of my sister and I.

"Grodel! Are you hurt?" I asked. "What was that?"

Grodel gulped, "I don't how or why. I don't know why this happened. No one knows this place and…"

I interrupted him, "Grodel, just tell me what just happened."

"The island's under attack."

At first I'm dumbfounded, but soon only one thought pierces through. I even spoke it out loud, "Where's Luna?"

Grodel looked away, "I don't know. She's not at her usual spot. If she was, she should have been able to come here."

Great, just great. Not only do I have to worry about the island, now I have to find my sister and protect her. Plus I have a feeling that whoever's attacking has more than I can deal with. So how am I supposed to do both?

Because I was starting to see creatures I never seen before coming to attack I quickly made a plan- do whichever comes first.

Okay, so basically I was winging it, but still. Even if I want to protect Luna more than the island, I'll still have to do both.

"Duck!" demanded Grodel. I did without asking, because whenever Grodel tells you to do something, you better do it or die. Funny, how that came out. I watched as thousands of particles of dirt flew in the sky as the cannonball hit the surface.

I grabbed Grodel by the shoulders and ordered him, "Wake up everybody. There's no chance we will win if everybody's asleep. Meanwhile, I'll go looking for Luna."

Grodel nodded in agreement.

Nuri ran off in search for Luna thinking it would be difficult, but it turns out he soon saw her running. The thing is, she was followed by pursuers and they didn't seem like the friendly type.

"Nuri!" she called out.

"Luna! I'm over here!" I ran towards her, knowing she'll need some help.

And that's when everything went downhill, starting with me being smacked across the field.

(Luna's P.O.V.)

I gasped when I saw Nuri groan as he got up after flying 10 yards across the ground. Then that's when I saw it. Standing above him with the fingers flat out was this gigantic white gloved hand. It didn't take long for me to piece to together the scene and what was going to happen. I charged straight toward Nuri and shoved him out of the way just as the hand was about to slam down at him. He was saved by the crushing hand.

I wasn't so lucky.

Pain reached into every single bone in my body as the hand came in contact. I screamed but it was soon cut off when the hand was now squishing me against the ground. I couldn't even see where Nuri was.

I couldn't breathe. I was getting so dizzy, that I would have fainted until a strong voice shouted.

"Stop! Master Hand, I command you to stop!" Those words were music to my ears.

As the hand lifted, I shakily got up on both feet feeling glad that the greatest pain had left, but that was soon diminished when the hand grabbed me and couldn't let me move. I gasped for air.

(Nuri's P.O.V.)

When I saw the hand grab my sister I lunged for it. The hand expected it though, and rose so high in the sky that I couldn't even reach it if I multiplied my height by five.

"Give her up, boy," came a voice. The owner showed himself seconds later. Coming out of the shadows was a red headed man with a thick body and a dark cape, "Say your goodbyes now, because that's the last time you'll ever see her. That's the main reason we came here. Keep on fighting and you'll die. So what will it be- death or no girl? You do realize that I'll still take the girl no matter what."

I stood up ready to fight, "I'm not letting her go anywhere."

He just chuckled in amusement. "Let's see how long that'll last." Then he rushed forward and struck a punch at my gut that made my own ribs crack. I tried hard not to fall or groan. I won't show him my weakness. I won't show him my fear.

I ran towards him unsheathing the sword Gordon lended me and prepared to strike, hoping it will hit a fatal mark.

It didn't.

He deflected my blow by just his hand. I knew instantly that this guy knew how to battle and he probably wasn't even trying to hurt me. He was just being a shown-off. A show-off who can give pain easily. He then unleashed multiple attacks that I had no idea about dodging or blocking. It wasn't long before the sword was knocked out of my hand and that I was at the edge of a cliff. He kicked me and I was clinging toward the top rocks with my hands. I looked down and wished I didn't. The rocks below me didn't look so safe to me.

I was feeling so tired that I didn't notice his foot above my hands until I saw the shadow. I widened by eyes as his foot descended.

(Luna's P.O.V.)

I wanted to scream and help Nuri in battle, but I was getting very light-headed and dizzy from the lack of air I received from being held in a tight position. The last thing I saw was seeing the monster drop my brother to the strong sharp rocks. I wanted to cry, but all I saw was black.

Yes! Finished the second chapter! Okay, so maybe it's late at night (at least for me), but I still did it. It would be great if everyone liked it. Especially you Chenxx since it's your present!
