This chapter is really short it is only so I can move on with the story in the next chapter.
Chapter 8
-Rina-
"You're late."
"Sorry, Sandra I got held up at work," I say dropping down on the park bench next to her with a sigh.
"I need your help."
"With what?"
"I have a target and need your help to take him out an-"
"Hell yeah girl."
"I thought you'd say that. His name is Erik Lighter and he runs one of those drug testing facilities but what really interests my client is that behind the scenes he makes military grade weapons and ships them off to U.S. enemies."
"Jesus Crist Sandra. I swear you go for the hardest missions ever."
"Cheese-it," she says back at me and I can't help but laugh. Two years ago Sandra had scared me and I had said Jesus Crist but for some reason it sounded more like Cheese-it and it became a personal joke between us.

I line my bow up with the target but don't shoot since it's Sandra's target. There's a light popping sound and Erik falls to the ground dead. I stand up and lower my bow to my side and put the arrow back in my quiver. There's a brief crackle in the headpiece I'm wearing then Sandra's voice, "Rina that wasn't me that killed him." I see a flash of gold out of the corner of my eye and I vaulted over the third floor balcony railing to the very bottom floor.
"Guardian Ventus Mode Activate," I yell and spread my wings wide to stop myself from becoming a smear on the concrete. My bow changes form so that it matches what my guardian bow is. I pull the string back and an air ripples into life with a deep breath I release the arrow and the blast of air destroys part of the balcony where Joseph was sitting with his gun. He slides down the balcony and lands lightly on his feet.
"Rina what's going on," I hear Sandra's panicked voice over head and saw Joseph look up at where she is and I bring my wings down with a soft whoosh and only make it a few feet before Joseph grabbed me and pulled me back.
I struggle hard to get free when I see her fall with a scream. I yank myself from his grasp and launch off the ground, "Guardian Breeze Mode Activate." I catch her in my arms and almost drop her when her tail flicks my arm.
