Cristy's POV:-

I walked across the forest towards my destination when I heard a groan echo through the forest.I froze wondering what to do when I heard it again. 'That sound is definitely human.'I began to walk towards the noise mentally wondering who would come so deep into the forest and marking my steps so that I could retrace them.I didn't want to get groans got softer as I got nearer, I gave a spiritual sweep of the area in front of me,it was clean of spirit-users, so I was safe .There was only a ordinary human leaning against something ,probably a tree.

"Hello,Is someone there?"

"Hee...l.p"

Good enough for me .

I stepped out through the bushes in front of me and came face to face with a man. He was leaning against a giant rock, more like pinned to a giant rock. His hands were loosely holding on to a spear that went straight through his stomach and held him to the rock . The sight was horrifying. I was paralysed for a second , but I quickly snapped out of it .I went to his side and put my hands around the spear...

"This is going to hurt."

...and I pulled.

It took quite a lot of force to loosen it from the rock but once I did, I pulled pulled it out of his body swiftly and gently.(as gently as one can be when pulling a spear out of someone's stomach).

The man understood what I was trying to do and tried his best not to scream . He did well,although he bit his lower lip so hard it started to bleed.

Loud gasps were all I heard from him as I put my hands on had no other injuries apart from a bruised jaw.I began to concentrate ,the spear missed all his vital organs, his spine and most of the major blood vessels, whether it was on purpose or not ,that I didn't I did know that he wasn't going to survive this ,not unless I give him an elixir. 'But did he deserve it?'.

"Hah!.."

His voice was weary and I immediately felt like giving him the vial.

"...Thanks for caring but *coff*I guess *hack*there's no point."

"What happened?"

I tried to sound concerned but in my mind ,the point wasn't saving his life, but determining whether he deserved to be saved .He gave a small smile and replied

"I got caught up with some people ,they said that*coff*if I let them test my blood for compatasomething, they'd give me a feeling I'll never forget..."

"compatibility?"

"Yeah! said they already got who they wanted and didn't need me anymore."

"Did you do anything to anger them?"

"Not*coff* that I know off, but I angered a lot of other people people"

He said with a sadistic chances of living just got cut down. Well, might as well cut to the chase .Since he thinks he's going to die ,he's probably not going to hold back the truth.

"Have you ever...killed someone?"

His eyes looked like an animal's .One who was proud of his kill. He's dead.

"My ,my baby doll ,you're quite sharp .Yes I have*hack* blood on my hands ,the looks on the face of people when they know they're about to die is just so...delicious ,you see ,that's why they picked me cause they wanted someone nobody would miss,Only*coff*learned that after the bloody f*cker put the f*cking spear through my gut".

"Discibe him."

He looked at me with madness and surprise in his eyes ,probably wondering why I didn't run away screaming.I looked at him with disgust and anger. No pity ran through my mind .After all ,if one does not regret his wrongs at his deathbed, he will just continue them if he lives.

"What will you give*coff*me if I tell you?"

"Nothing but the opportunity to do something good before you die".

He looked at me with a look that would sent any normal person I have stared into the eyes of my brother as his life left him,He died because of people like the man right in front of me.I flinched at the memory and an evil smirk formed on his face.I think he misunderstood .

"Nah,I think I'll pass that offer *coff*but there is something else you have to offer"He said as his eyes very obviously looked over my body up and down.

"What ya say?,Give a dying man his last hurray"DISGUSTING.

I firmly got up and turned around,after I had taken a few steps,I turned around and showed my palm.A vial appeared on it.

"Have you ever heard of 'elixir'?"

His eyes widened and he looked the vial with a murderous hunger .I wasn't afraid . I knew that if he tried anything,It would just quicken his death. Despite how I look or act...I wasn't weak.

"If you had shown the slightest remorse..."

The vial dissapeared from my hand.

"NO!"

"...If you had shown the slightest regret..."

I turned and walked away ignoring his threats and insults.

"...I would have let you live."

I returned to the path and continued towards the training-grounds contemplating what kind of research those people he mentioned would have been undertaking. It's being tested ,no it's already successful but as it was being tested on scumbags only,it's possible that there were no missing persons reports, also because they wanted to keep under police radar,it's probably a private organisation,maybe one-man or two-man or maybe even a whole group.I let out a sigh as I touched the flask inside my jacket. Unknown to the dying jerk,I had snagged some of his blood so I can run some tests on tests on it.

I looked up to see a mountain right in front of me.I walked around until I came to a rock that looked like a pillar(not really ,but kinda).I went in front of the part of the mountain right behind the rock and walked right in .As I passed the wall the image distorted a bit and returned to normal after I entered.

"RIKA,RIKA-CHAN,WHERE ARE YOU ?"

"CRISTY,YOU CAME"

Suddenly a girl dropped out of the sky (roof)and landed in front of me,she had reddish-brown ,spiky hair which went down to her shoulders and golden eyes which were so rich in colour you could see them in the dark , she had visible canines and wore loose dark-coloured senses are also incredibly high when compared to a regular there was one word that could describe her ,it would be wild...And that wild girl was currently crushing me.(Did I mention that she also incredibly strong).

"AH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR HERE .I MISSED YOU SO 'RE ONE OF THE ONLY ONES WHO DOESN'T COME HERE FOR TRAINING AND..."

"Rika...can't ...brea..the".

She let out a gasp and released me.I immediately collapsed to the ground and tried to regain my breath in long, loud gasps .

"OH I'M SO YOU OKAY ?ARE YOU HURT?..."

I put up my hand to silence her and gave a smile .

"Don't worry ,I'm fine"

She gave a relieved sigh.

"That's good..."

I got up and began to walk deeper into the was a large hallway we had to pass before reaching the training grounds .If an intruder came here ,he would probably be scarred for life from the security that would be activated...I've only seen it once myself ,the result,not the security,by the time we turned off the alarm, the person was disfigured and hanging upside down from the ceiling with cuts all over him...It was not a pretty sight.

Once we reached the door ,Rika placed her nails in the sockets by the side and clicking sounds were door slide open an closed shut after me and she had passed through.

Inside was a huge ground which was basically the entire base of the walls were made of reinforced steel and coated with cement and a small room(in comparison to the surroundings) was found at a conner quite near by the entrance.

"Wait here."

She said as she hurried into the room.I simply waited ,staring at the clearing in front of me.I decided that I would tell her about what I found out after we chat for a while. After all,I wanted her to relax for a while, poor girl must have felt like we were ignoring her.

"HEY CRISTY,LOOK UP"

I looked up to see Rika inside the control-room which overlooks the glass was bullet-proff.

"WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?"

Knowing what she meant I simply replied.

"OH ANYTHING'S FINE..."

A evil grin grew on her face and I quickly corrected myself.

"...ANYTHING NICE AND PEACEFUL AND.."

Her grin was replaced with a pout and she signalled me to close my eyes which I did. Slowly the temperature began to reduce and a slight, cool breeze began to blow I felt grass beneath my sandals and smelt the lush smell of the forest.

"You can open them now"I heard her whisper into my ear .And so I did.A gasp escaped my lips as I stared at the beautiful place in front of green grass covered the ground ,there was a beautiful cherry tree with wide branches and a slightly cloudy ,yet clear sky.

"You like it?"

"It's beautiful."

"YAY,YOU LIKE IT."

Guess I forgot to mention this, but this training ground can be morphed into various different types of areas and climate and even gravity so that you can practice in basically any situation you want.

"COME ON ,LET'S SIT"

She said and she launched herself to the ground and started rolling in the grass .More lying down than sitting .I went beneath the branches of the cherry tree and sat down after removing my sandals and felt the lush grass between my toes.

"So..."

I started as I unpacked the food I had bought. Rika came and sat opposite me grinning like a cat.

"...What's news"

I uploaded two chapters at once cause I don't know when I'll get a change to upload again ,So bye for now and please review . I really appreciate it .
