CHAPTER 16
(GENERAL P.O.V)
"Let go of me you monster!," Yui screamed trying to pry her left hand away from Victor. Victor growled, as his eyes blazed with fury.
"Shit…" Zero swore in fear.
"Taking the spell awakened him." Yui let out a blood curling scream, as Victor tightened his hold.
"LET GO OF HER!," Staz screamed in rage running towards Victor coming in with his right fist. Victor blocked the fist with ease, by single handedly using his hand to stop Staz's fist. In the blink of an eye, Victor's hand that blocked Staz's fist was now around Staz's throat.
In a flash, Victor's hand moved from holding Yui by the hand, to her throat with ease. Choking noises could be heard, as Staz tried to get out of Victor's grasp.
'There's got to be a way out of this…' Staz thought as he desperately tried ramming his fist into Victor's hand.
'I can't let it end like this…' Yui thought as her vision blurred in and out because of the lack of oxygen.
That's when Staz saw it…
A sword suddenly came into view decapitating Victor's head clean off. Victor's head rolled down to the entrance of the graveyard, as Victor's both hands let go of Staz and Yui.
Yui gasped for air, as she staggered back falling, and hitting her head on a coffin. As she wheezed for air, she felt Staz lift her up bridal style. "Are you okay." Staz whispered to her. Catching her breath she nodded, as she turned to Zero who was still holding the sword.
A mighty roar was suddenly heard…
Breaths quickened in fear, as Yui could feel her own heartbeat beat faster, as she witnessed two large stone monsters coming out of the wall. They were carved from stone, as their eyes were glowing the colour gold.
"What are those?," Yui whispered to Staz in fear, as the stone monsters caught sight of them. The three of them stared back in silence and fear.
No wind, no sound, could be felt or heard….
Staz and Zero knew what these creatures were, and how this was going to go down.
"Staz answer me!," Yui hissed pulling on Staz's collar desperately, as Staz took a step back with Yui still in his arms. The creatures roared in anger at them ready to tear them to shreds.
"RUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!" Zero screamed, as the creatures ran forward to attack. Not hesitating for a second, Staz ran with Yui to the entrance. As Staz headed for the entrance, the ground shaked violently beneath him, causing him to stumble almost falling.
As much as he wanted to help Zero, he knew he couldn't do it with taking the risk of Yui getting hurt.
Suddenly his vision became distorted…
"Yui you're going to hate me for this," Staz shaked his head attempting to gain his vision back. Without warning, he threw Yui with all his strength towards the gate that was closing quickly. He quickly slew down the deep incline, and out the gate as it closed.
"What the hell Staz!," Yui screamed crawling out of the bushes. "Listen, those things that we saw are Sapiens. They're guardians that guard the-"
"NO ZERO!" Yui exclaimed running towards the gate. Staz grabbed her before she could get close.
"There's nothing we can do Yui," Staz said trying to hold her back as Yui tried to pry herself out of his grip. "Zero is my friend too. I know he's going to find a way to get out of this, but we need to stay put."
"HOW ARE YOU SO FUCKING SURE OF THAT!" Yui exclaimed hysterical now.
"Why didn't you try to help him…" Yui whimpered as her tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Because he would have wanted me to make sure you're safe." Staz said softly cupping her cheek. Yui stared at him for a moment. The ground rumbled again, as a painful scream could be heard.
Yui ran into Staz's arms burying her face in his chest, as she cried.
He slowly hugged her tightly, as the ground shaked violently again.
He hated himself for lying to Yui, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
He was worried just like her when it came to Zero.
Sapiens were one of the most powerful creatures in the underworld.
So if Zero got out it would be a miracle…
He lifted Yui and teleported out of the area, hoping that one would come soon…
