" oh hi " ray turned back and said that to sam, " you are also in squad six aren't you," ray asked him.
" oh yeah we all are together," Sam said with a smile " man! Brian is such a dummy he did not even introduce you to us!" Someone said from behind they both looked at who the person was.
They looked and saw a girl dressed in extreme fancy clothes. Her clothes while not only looking expensive were also very fancy,
"And she is Hannah " Sam pointed said while pointing his index finger at her, his facial expression told him she had a bit of a beauty complex.
"Hi, the name's Hannah, " the girl in front of him said," by the way do I look good " Hannah added.
It was clear from the way she was standing and all that she was here just to get admired.
Ray tilted his head a little bit with some emotions of doubt on his face he said " Nah" ray said that and walked away the car they were supposed to go in was there he walked away insulting her entire being.
Hannah, on the other hand, was expecting a compliment her mind was like it was about to fly high but ray made it fall in an instant " what did you say " Hannah said while lowering her head, grinding her, she clenched her fist in anger " why you little....." She jumped at ray while saying that fortunately, sam was there he grabbed her from the waist using both hands even still she was jumping to get a ray " come here I wanna cut you!" Hannah said while but In in rage that newbie who just joined this afternoon roasted her.
In the meantime brian came there too he asked ray about what was happening " nothing " said ray in a tone that told him he did not care.
If you don't wanna be left here then come on quick " brian said to both sam and Hannah while heading forward to the car.
" let go of me," Hannah said to Sam in an irritating voice.
She removed the wrinkles on her dress and walked away Sam also followed with a sigh.
They walked a while and stop at a very expensive black sports car seeing that ray was not surprised one bit, the car seemed expensive but having seen so much insane stuff in such a small amount of time made it was all normal for him.
They all got inside the car the drive was like half an hour long.
The palace for the ball was huge it was just like a castle.
The place was insanely luminous.
They all got inside where brian introduced them to someone else. Everybody meet miss. Consiglio said that while tapping in the head of an almost 22-year-old woman, she wore glasses.
Even though being the same age as brian she was quite short.
" hi, Miss. Consiglio" everyone greeted her almost at the same time.
"You can all call me Cleo," she said " no need to call me by such a stupid surname"
" oh no it is not stupid," ray said the expression on his face told that he was worried that he might offend her or something.
While this was going on brian was still patting Cleo on his head.
" brian stop," Cleo said with a bit of irritation.
" stop what?" Brian replied as he knew nothing while he was still patting her.
In force of irritation, Cleo hit brian's stomach with her elbow.
" Ouch," Sam said while controlling his laugh not like he had a habit of laughing at times like this just that this situation was funny.
"Well I have to go you guys enjoy the ball"
Cleo said that and walked away taking brian with her.
Having that heard all of them went on their own to enjoy the event through ray was in the constant company of Eleanor.
Meanwhile, Brian was at the min mini bar drinking scotch he still had lingering pain in his stomach.
He was drinking alone but Cleo came to give him company.
They sat around had a few normal conversations that were then Cleo asked " what is up with you carrying a demon around just kill the damn thing " Cleo said to brian, she looked at his face as he made a sigh of expression.
He is not a demon he accidentally did a spell that made him what he is now " brian replied.
" but still he did a top-level spell like I mean how did he even perform it ?"
Cleo said to brian while wondering and questioning at the same time.
"Well for all I know he must have to be fooled by some sort of illusion".
Brian replied.
"Well if u are the one to take him I shall not question any further," Cleo said while having the expression of satisfaction all over her face.
Meanwhile, all this while going on ray was alone in the outside area alone staring at the moon, he was kinda exhausted meeting so many people and most of the high-class people this was the time he learned that he was in Italy. Though he is not surprised taken the fact that so much has happened in the last two days to him. Ray was thinking all of this that was then he sensed something filled with malice calling him from outside the window ray tried to resist him for some time but then he saw a kid going in that direction, he went to look for someone to tell this to but they all were nowhere to find( they might have been busy somewhere else.)
thinking that it might be a demon ray rushed toward it.
he ran across the street, soon enough he deathbed the dead end. To his surprise there was no one there he turned back around the street was empty, he was about to take this one as a mistake and go back but the streets started to fill with red sand-like substance floating in the air soon enough was everywhere.
it started to gather around ray and make him levitate in mid-air, after that it all became hazy for him.
His consciousness was transferred to a different plan all he could see was red hands trying to grab him from every direction while he was still levitating he tried to look around more but all he could see was pitch black darkness.
Suddenly the hands started entering his body from everywhere following, then he started to see flashbacks of all the horrible things that happened to him.
It was like time was going one tried to endure but after seeing the flashback of his mother's death so many times he could take it no more
" let go of me!" He screamed while using his full force trying to move and attack.
It worked his screaming was followed by a huge blast of blue flames from all over his body seeing that he used one of the powers he didn't know just went with the flow.
The flames cleared within seconds and he found himself on the street again.
" Ray!" He heard Eleanor voice who was rushing toward him seeing him shaking on the streets.
