The creature grabs me and picks me up.
Damnit I can't fight this.
It's mouth dislocates and drops close the ground.
Oh no, it's gonna try to eat me.
I struggle to get free.
No use, this is it.
All of a sudden I feel the air heating up. The creatures jaw closes and it drops me. It looks around quickly, as if it suddenly it's helpless.
"Begone."
I hear a familiar voice say as someone jumps close to the creatures head and kick it right in the jaw. The creature is sent through several trees.
Who, or what is that. He just kicked that creature through some trees. Damnit, what's going on here.
I think as I slowly walk backward. The person that kicked it slowly turns to me.
Hey wait, that's the zero guy. Zero, he's strong. Is he human?
He starts to walk toward me but as he's walking the creature jumps out at him. Zero quickly grabs his sword pendant that's on his necklace. He rips it off and mumbles.
"I said begone."
The sword grows into a huge katana and with one blurred swing, cuts the creature in half. The sword then turns back into a pendant and a necklace. He puts it around his neck and starts walking back toward me. Zero holds out his hand.
"Need help?"
He says. I grab his hand and he picks me up. He stares at me for a moment.
"How did you see that demon?"
He asks. I don't answer.
Demon? What's he talking about. Was that creature a demon?
He sighs.
"I guess you don't know much about demons."
He says.
"No, I don't."
I reply. He scratches his head.
"Well let me inform you."
He says.
"In this universe, there are demons and angels. A regular human cannot see either of those. If you are half demon or half angel you can see them. Same is true if you're a pureblood."
I interrupt him.
"Then how can I see them!?"
He smirks lightly.
"That means your either half demon or half angel, are a aforementioned pureblood"
I'm half demon or angel?! What the hell?!
"That makes you far stronger than humans. This was a weak demon. He didn't even have a first release."
RELEASE!? There's that word again! "What is a release?"
I ask. He rubs his neck.
"It's hard to explain, but an easy way to explain it is like this. It's like leveling up a video game character. Each level gets stronger. But a first release makes you around 200 times stronger than you were before. It's rare to get a first release. It's even more rare to get a second release."
I quickly ask
"Is there a third release?!"
He frowns. Sadly there's been only 3 people I can think of to ever have a 3rd release. Not to say there isn't more, that's just all I've heard of."
Only 3 people?
He stares at me.
"So I wonder if your half demon or angel, because you don't have the energy of a pureblood."
He smiles evily.
"LET'S FIND OUT!"
He jumps at me and throws a punch. I narrowly lean away from it but the power exerted from the punch sends me back ten feet.
Oh shit, now he's trying to kill me.
I watch him carefully.
I can't get careless, he's strong. He could kill me!
"What's wrong kid?"
He says as he holds up his hand.
"Are you scared?"
He says with a sinister smile.
"JUST SHOW ME YOUR STRENGTH!"
He screams as a spinning wave of energy surrounds him. The energy is grey and black. As the energy slowly disperses, I see Zero has 2 black wings that look around 4 feet long each.
What is he?! I need to get away, or he'll kill me!
He smiles
"This is my first release."
That's a release.
As I look closer I notice his hair is black and grey and much longer. I start to run but my legs don't want to move. He grabs his sword again and it turns into that huge blade again.
Oh no, I cant move, I'm paralyzed. Move, damnit move.
He jumps up and his wings flap once and send him up very high. It's already dark so I lose sight of him quickly. Then I see him coming down with his blade readied to slice me in half. As he's about to get to me I close my eyes.
This looks like it for me.
After a few seconds with my eyes closed I open my eyes. I see someone standing in front of me holding Zero's blade in one hand. The person holding his blade has long red hair, going down to the back of their knees.
"Zero, what are you doing."
The person says.
That voice, it's so familiar.
I then notice this person has 2 horns on the top of their head.
"I was just trying to get him to unleash his demon or angel power, whichever he has."
Zero says. He pulls his blade back and it turns back into a pendant and necklace. He then puts it on. He reverts back to his normal form, and soon after that the new person slowly starts turning back into a normal form as well. I watch the person's hair shorten to a little under their shoulders and turn black with red tips.
Wait that's, that's Aziria.
She turns and looks at me.
"I'm sorry, Zero likes to fight, even against people that don't know of their power."
She stares at me for a second.
"Are you ok?"
She asks.
"Yea, yea I'm fine."
I reply. She quickly turns back to Zero.
"What the hell were you thinking?! You could've killed him, and he doesn't even know what his power is yet!"
She yells at him.
"Whatever."
Zero mumbles as he starts walking away.
"Yea get lost, Zero."
Aziria growls, turning back to me. She looks around for a minute. Then she yells out.
"Vexx, you coward, stop hiding."
All of a sudden I hear russling in the tree behind me. I turn around and see Vexx drop down from the tree.
Oh shit, what about Zen?
I look around and see Zen sitting against a tree.
"Hey Zen, you alright?"
I shout out to him. He looks up to me and I see he has some cuts on his face with a little dried blood on them.
"Yea, yea I'm fine. My demon powers healed me fast."
He says while popping his neck. He stands up and him and Vexx walk to Aziria and I. Aziria stares at us all.
"Ok I'm walking you guys home, since I'll make sure another demon doesn't jump you."
Vexx laughs and points to a treeline.
"Well I live in the woods."
He quickly walks into the woods, trying to vanish. Aziria, Zen, and I start walking. Zen gets in front of his house before I'm near my house. He doesn't say anything, he just walks into his house. So Aziria and I keep walking. We don't talk. When I get home I start to walk inside but when I turn around Aziria is at the edge of my yard looking at the sky.
"Hey."
I say.
"Hm?"
She tilts her head and looks at me.
"What is it?"
She asks.
"Um, thanks."
I mumble. She gets a puzzled look on her face.
"For what?"
She asks.
"For saving me from Zero. He was gonna kill me if you hadn't stepped in."
She lightly smiles.
"It was no problem, I've been meaning to release my cooped up power anyway."
She replies with a grin. I smile
"So you have a release?"
I ask. She laughs a little
"I have 2 releases."
She has 2!? If she stopped zero that easily, then what could she have done in second release?!!
She looks at me and laughs.
"Well get some sleep, I'll see you on the bus tomorrow."
And as soon as she's done saying that she turns to fire and vanishes.
What the hell. She just vanished. What just happened?
I think to myself as I turn around and walk inside. As I walk in I see my mom asleep on the couch with the TV on.
Heh, fell asleep watching tv again.
I walk over and turn off the tv, then I walk upstairs to my room.
I left my backpack at school.
I walk over to my bed and fall face first.
I'm exhausted.
I think as I start to dose off.
A demon or an angel huh?
Is my last thought before I fall asleep.
