Chapter 8 - Friend or Foe?

My school was just across the lake from the hospital and I ran as fast as I could. I don't think I've ever ran this fast before it's like my body actually grew stronger than what it was before I almost got killed by that man. I had so much stamina too I felt like I could run forever. I was quickly approaching the school in record time 4 minutes to be exact! How I did it I don't know but I'm thankful for it. I knew something was up imediatly because the front doors of the school were open and I slowly entered. I was making sure to keep a close eye out and listen for anything. The Halls of the school looked so much different during the night it was so weird I actually thought about going into some of my classes and messing around but I needed to stay focused. I could see coming from the end of the hall at the exit those same red and blue lights flashing through. I knew I was approaching my targets soon so I prepared myself, took a deep breath and ran to the exit. I ran out like the culprit was gonna be there but he wasn't. I was so confused I decided to walk around and investigate. To get a better look I started walking towards the track and the open field. Just as I managed to get out into the open to look around that blue light flashed beneath my feet. What it looked like to me at the time was those circles that people use to summon demons in movies and stuff. I had never seen anything like it but I knew it wasn't good. Then I heard the voice of a woman coming from behind me. I quickly turned around to see her standing on top of the storage building. "So nice to finally meet you. Sad Kiseiju didn't kill you before because now you're going to suffer a cold death!" Then ice started to gather in her hand much like the light that gathered in mine before I summoned that sword. The Ice formed a deadly spear that she proceeded to spin around fast as hell. She was good I had never seen anything like it. "Any final words?" She asked pointing the spear towards me. "How about your name!" I don't know why I asked her that but it's all I could think of at the moment. She laughed and said "is my name but that's not important because you'll be dead soon!" The circle beneath me began to glow even brighter and I noticed something. Icicles were rising from this circle! Instinct took over and I jumped back and fast too! I was actually able to dodge the attack. I managed to catch my feet and stand up ready for another attack. That's when she jumped high into the air and began to come towards me. It was so fast I couldn't move and she landed in front of me crushing the ground beneath her. She threw her hand up and a blue circle appeared before her hand. It was like the one I had projected when I summoned that shield. So much about her powers were the same as the powers I was able to use. I noticed a cold wind starting to come from the circle and after that icicles. I knew what was happening and I instinctively I put my hand up. The icicles were launched from Delph's hand at an incredible speed. I closed my eyes ready to meet my icy death but then I heard her gasp. "So you are able to use your magic? How tedious." I opened my eyes and noticed it was that wall of light in front of me again. So this was magic that I was using the whole time but how? I couldn't worry about that I needed to move and quick. I began to focus on my feet and legs and got ready to jump back. I thought that since I was able to run faster maybe I could jump father too so I tried it. I felt by body leave the ground like I was as light as a father and I began to move back. It was crazy I never thought I'd be moving this fast. I was going so fast I didn't even have time to think of what was behind and before I knew it I had hit something. But this something was a person! They grabbed me and whipped me around fast. I stumbled back and got a view of this person. It was a tall male with black and red hair. He had this evil look to his eyes that made me sneer. He struck a pose and put his hand in front of him. Suddenly a vortex of flames appeared before and began to gather. An axe formed from the flames and he spun it around so fast I could feel the heat coming off of this thing. He slammed the axe down in front of him and began to speak "So I see you started the fun without me huh sis?" They were brother and sister?! I couldn't believe it but I can kind understand the whole fire and ice thing. "My name is Garret and I'm going to have to end your miserable life now!" With that he raised his axe high and began to swing but he hesitated. I took that time to put my hand in front of me to summon my shield. Nothing happened. I pulled my hand back to try again but still nothing. Garret began to laugh "Seriously are you still trying? just die already!" That was when something flew by my ear. It was an arrow and it was headed straight for Garret. It was like everything was in slow motion for a second I could see Garret just barely nudge out of the way. Time began to move normally again but what was that. Was there another person out to kill me? That couldn't be it because they attacked Garrett. I turned to look at what that was when I felt a hit to my head and I began to fly in the other direction. My body slammed against the ground but for some reason I barely felt it and stood up fast. Garret must have hit me but he wasn't worried about me any more. A barrage of arrows began to shoot towards him and he managed to swing his axe fast enough to deflect them. I noticed the arrows were coming from the water tower in the distance. Also a green aura came from these arrows much like the purple aura I had seen that night I was attacked. I tried to get a closer look but then Delph decided to try and attack me. She started to shoot icicles at me faster that I could have reacted. Then it happened again it's like time slowed down and I could see what was happening but just for a second. I moved out of the way quickly. Everything was Normal again so I began to retreat. I don't know where I was gonna go but I needed to get out of here. It seemed as if Garrett and Delph were blocking both exits. Were they really out to kill me tonight? But then someone crashed on the ground in front of me. "DUCK!" They shouted as I dropped to the ground gracefully. I began to hear arrows fly over my head as I rolled across the ground. As I stood up I noticed the person was standing in front of me as if they were defending me. I was finally able to get up and and notice that it was a girl with long brown hair holding a bow in front of her. This bow was like nothing I had ever seen before it was magnificent! It glowed with a green aura and I could sense a strong energy from it. She loaded up an arrow from out of nowhere and held it ready to shoot at Garret and Delph. "So you're protecting him now huh?" Delph said angrily holding her spear at the ready. Was this person protecting me or what. The mysterious girl began to speak, "You both have no right to be trying to kill him he's done nothing wrong!" She launched the arrow at them and it split into two more arrows while traveling towards them. Then suddenly a portal opened and the arrows exploded causing me to cover my eyes. When I was able to move my arm from in front of my eyes my heart dropped. For some reason I felt this sharp pain across my chest causing me to grab it. "You managed to survive my attack you must be just as strong as I imagined." It was the mysterious man from that night. That horrible night. Garret and Delph both dropped to their knees before him and began to apologise. "Sorry we've failed you Master Kiseiju" they both said. His name was Kiseiju. Just knowing his name made my stomach turn. This man tried to kill me and now I actually knew his name. "I see you decided to join the party too huh Luna?" Kiseiju asked the girl in front of me. I was learning everyone's name without even being directly told how weird. "Kiseiju why are you trying to kill this boy? What do you think you'll gain from this?" Luna said standing her ground. Kiseiju began to laugh. Did they think they could just pick on me because I was the weak one of the bunch. "Getting him out of the picture now would be in the best of my interests" he explained "we don't want him to be a nuisance to us like the last" The last? What did he mean? "I'll kill this weakling now so I don't have to worry about him later!" His laughing got louder and more crazy. I knew I couldn't do much but I wasn't just gonna stand there and be talked down to. "thats where you're wrong Kiseiju" I shouted at him "I might not know how to use these powers but I'm gonna learn and when I do you better be ready!" Luna looked to me like she was surprised I actually said something. "I like that determination you have boy." Kiseiju said , " I'll leave for now and allow you to grow a bit stronger so next time I'll actually have a challenge. Killing you then will be even more fun!" He began to laugh hysterically. This man was crazy as hell! Portals began to open and the Intruders retreated from the school grounds. I was so lost as to what just happened. The girl approched me and began to talk to me. "are you okay?" She said to me and I responded "never felt better." "You're the new sacred blade user?" What was that? "What are you talking about?" I replied Because I really had no clue. "wow you are just clueless aren't you" as she started to laughed. Who was this girl And why did she decide to help me? "I know this sounds weird but I actually came here to retrieve you." "Retrieve me what do you mean?" She approched me making her bow disappear and put her hand out. "Hi my name is Luna and I'm a Demon Hunter."
