Chapter 4

The Autarch of Flame

It was too late, Eric looked at Anna and sunk his hand in her alive shoulder. "Uhhhh…. Dad?" she looked worried. Then his other arm was holding a needle. Her eyes widened and struggled to get away. Seiji was trying to pull Anna free, but was knocked out by Eric's attack. Anna was too busy being terrified to fight back.

"Anna, before you join us. I must let you know; your father is dead. I killed him when he left to use the bathroom." he said before jabbing her in the eye with the shot. Then she stopped moving, completely stopped. Her eye was solid red and she looked like a robot. "Your new name is Red. You are tough and are not afraid of anything. Now get up and kill that boy."

Suddenly a fireball hit Eric and he exploded with a loud explosion. Logan jumped down and grabbed Anna, "Listen to me, you will only use that power to kill extremely tough enemies, understand?"

All she did was nod and Logan lifted her and Seiji up. Then he started to bring fire to his feet and start flying up. Logan was flying in a part of the forest no one knew about, his hideout. "Ah, here it is." he smirked and kicked opened the door. "You guys have the honor of keeping me company! I used to live alone." Walking to the bed he set them down. "I best be going to bed, too." then jumped on the top bed, "Night."

The next morning, he woke up early and saw Anna wide awake. "Hey, why aren't you asleep?" he asked.

She looked up, eye still red. "Oh, just waking up."

"Your wide awake, now. Tell me why." he raised an eyebrow.

"I think I'm dead."

"Why would you think that?"

"Because, my eye is completely solid and red. That's not normal, why did you do this to me?" her breathing became heavy.

"There's a reason I do things. Like your arm and his leg."

"Well then, why!?" she jumped up and screamed, "You ruined mine and Seiji's life! Your monster!" she quickly grabbed the still knocked out boy and threw him out of the door. She dragged him outside to the forest and stopped.

"Anna!" called Logan.

"Awww! I gotta go!" she continued to drag him, but running, through the forest. Logan was still calling for her and didn't stop. Sadly, someone grabbed the girl and left the boy behind.

"Seiji!" he grabbed the boy, who was still knocked out. "When will you wake up?!" Then carried the boy back home forgetting about Anna. Then he walked back to the hideout and sat there for a while with Seiji. It seems that he has a coma and will need to rest for about a week. "Ahhhhhhhh I'm bored! Anna you wanna do something? Anna? Oh crap! I lost her!" he jumped up and locked the door behind him. Logan burst flames under his feet and flew up high enough to see the entire forest. Then he saw someone familiar in a… ship. Anna and Cire. "Nooo!" without thinking, he flew right up towards them but was hit with a cannon ball and fell down to the ground.

He woke up in his room on the ship and saw a certain boy and girl next to him. He grunted as he got up, still in pain from the attack. Logan stood up and saw Cire standing next to the door. "Hey kid. Where are you going with the children? I believe they're mine."

"Shut up! They're my friends and I am looking after them!"

"Sorry, but I can't let you do that, Autarch of Flame." he glared, "What do you want? Treasure? Money? What?"

The Autarch shook his head and glared, "The children. I knew them before you." he tucked one under each arm. "Now, I'll take my leave. Good day, sir!" then opened the window.

"Tch. Well then. You can leave, just give me the girl."

"Nah." then he jumped out. They were free falling until a force pulled Anna away. "Huh? Noooooo!" he was really getting tired of Cire. Before he could turn around something hit him to the ground. "Oww. Seiji?" he put his ear on his chest and heard no heart beat. "What? You can't be dead!" Logan got curious and pulled open his eyes, and he could not believe what he saw. "Seiji, they've infected you, too?" his eye was solid and blue.

He heard a grunt from the boy's lips, "My name is Blue." he did sound quite blue and looked upset.

"Did Cire tell you that?" he asked.

"Yes, my sister is Red and I am Blue."

"No you're not, you're Anna and Seiji." The Autarch looked worried.

"Who are they? I've never heard of them. Plus, She's Red and I'm Blue, duh." Blue got up from Logan's arms, "Well, I guess we should get some rest. I'm sure Red's fine. Let's go." he started walking back to the hideout with Logan following him.

"Well, we're here. Let's get some rest and look for Anna. But, allow me to show you something. I believe you were separated from your friend, correct?"

"You mean Sam? Oh, I'm sure she's fine, right?"

"Well, she just happens to be my sister. As I do work, you can play with her, okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I'll go get her, be good and stay here. Lock the door behind me, and do whatever you want. See ya!" he waved good bye and locked the door. Blue sat on the bed and started to read a book, getting completely into it. After an hour, Logan finally came back with Samantha.

"Oh my goodness, Seiji! What happened to you!?" she cried.

"Whoever he is, I'm Blue. I just got reconstructed. No big deal."

"Whatever, I'm just glad to see you're alive!" she hugged him again.

"Alright, visiting time is over. Get to bed. Good and night." then Logan walked off to his top bed. Samantha and Blue slept in the lower bed.

As Logan sat in bed, he thought to himself;

Have I really become that soft? Well, they are just kids. I can't be too mean, and I hope Anna is okay. Hopefully Cire isn't making he do anything too harsh, what am I saying? Cire is a cruel man and poor girl, she's most likely in pain. I just hope I can find her in time.

I know not as long I as hoped. Just copy and pasting chapters I did, that's all. The Autarch of Flame came from Youtube.
