Chereads / The Sword Bearer / Chapter 7 - The Witch & Her Son

Chapter 7 - The Witch & Her Son

As Samantha pulls out a pin to stab the voodoo doll, Cruiser shouts

"SIKE!" and with those words, he (Cruiser) pulled down on the rope which he was gripping onto, to realize a trap he set beforehand.

With the trap activated, a log hanging from a rope and tied to a branch comes swinging down aiming for Samantha, but without hesitation, Samantha dodges the swinging log and pulls out a small Grimoire (spellbook) from her coat, which is over her red dress.

"Steam smoke," Samantha chants, covering the whole area in smoke.

"What's this? not to mention, I don't really know about witches and their weaknesses. Sheild Barrier! just in case," Cruiser creates a barrier around himself.

Without Cruiser knowing the Witch makes a quick escape with the help of the smoke and calls out a name.

"Toni... come here, my child!" Shouts Samantha.

"Who? Toni. Who's Toni? your son, why would you call out your sons name?" Cruiser confused.

There's a moment of silence, Cruiser can hear large footsteps coming from out of the smoke and there's a moment of realization when Cruiser linked all the pieces together.

"Oh shoot. Your son (Toni) is part of the giant clan," says Cruiser.

And within a second a large mace comes swinging down, hitting the side of Cruiser and crushing Cruiser's shield making the barrier crumble and Cruiser fly sideways.

The size of the swing was so powerful that the motion created so much wind that the smoke got blown away and Cruiser with it.

When the smoke cleared the giant was visible and that's when Cruiser knew who he was up against.

"A Cyclops!" Cruiser shouts in fear.

"Kill him!" Samantha orders as she takes her to leave.

(Andrew, Clair, Becky & Evan)

"How long has it been? we've been walking and searching for Cruiser for hours," Becky complains.

"Oh stop complaining. I bet if you went missing Andrew will look for you, am I right?" Becky asks Andrew.

"Ah? Yeah..." says Andrew, looking doubtful.

"See... That's the problem, Andrew doesn't care about anyone but himself," says Becky pressing the issue.

"What? no..." Andrew ignoring her complaints.

"Ok guy & girls, we have no time for this. We're a team aren't we?" Evan asks.

The Team response as if they were uncertain about being a team with all responses being a "Yes," "Yeah," or "Sure."

"Wait! can you hear that?" Andrew asks.

"No," Becky replies.

"No, listen. That's..." and after standing still listening to what Andrew could hear, he (Andrew) takes off, further into the forest in a blink of an eye.

"Hey Wait!" Becky shouts but still doesn't get Andrew's attention as he takes off.

"Does he always do this?" Clair asks.

"Yeah he's always been like this, that's who he is," Becky replies.

"Ok we better hurry up after him before we get lost," says Evan.

"Agreed," says Becky & Clair.

They all start jogging in the same direction as to where Andrew took off.

(Cruiser)

Back at the battle Cruiser is badly wounded and barely able to stand on his legs. Without any energy or hope for back up, Cruiser was about to say his final goodbyes but then

a dash of lighting cut through their path, going straight past them. Toni (Cyclops) and Cruiser changed their direction towards that of the lighting that interrupted their (Toni & Cruisers) battle.

Nobody knew that the dash of lighting, was not lighting, but instead, it was Andrew dashing super fast with his sword glowing, making out that it was lighting.

"What was that?" Cruiser confused.

"AHHH!" Shouts the Cyclops as he resumes swinging his mace towards Cruiser.

and in that instant Cruiser saw his comrades come running to help him. Evan creates a shield barrier around Cruiser and that's when Cruiser fell over from being too worn out.

"I'll leave it up to you," said Cruiser as he fell to the ground from exhaustion.

"BLINDING LIGHT!" Clair shouts, effectively blinding the Cyclops.

Clair, Becky & Evan team up to take down the Toni (Cyclops).

(Andrew)

While dashing throughout the Forest Andrew spots what he's looking for, it was the witch that was with Cruiser.

"Ha! found you," says Andrew.

"Who. Who are you? don't tell me you are allied with that man, are you?" Ask the witch, Samantha.

"I wouldn't really call them my allies, and I wouldn't call them my enemies I would consider them more like acquaintances or someone who's annoying," Andrew explains.

"So then why are you here?" Samantha (Witch) asks.

"I'm here because I heard a voice coming from you that I think I've heard before but can't remember," says Andrew.

"Do you mean this voice," says Samantha as she pulls a jar from her bag and opens the jar, from the jar a girl singing voice comes out of the jar.

"Is this what you wanted to hear?" Samantha ask.

As Samantha looks back she finds that Andrew is crying.

"What is this? why am I crying?" Andrew asks himself while wiping his tears away.
