Chapter 6 - What's going on?

Manandra woke up to screams, crying children, screeching of cars and basically chaos. She turned to her side, but couldn't find the rest of the team. She realised that she was at the outskirts of town, and wondered why there was so much chaos.

She stood up dizzy and found it hard to focus. When she finally gained consciousness, she tried asking people questions to figure out what all the chaos was about. She saw a woman running and stopped to ask her what was happening, but she was too terrified to talk. She then saw a little girl wondering and decided to ask her.

"Heyyy, what's your name and what happened?"

"Mommy mommy fire, and then mommy disappeared." She said in a tearful and panicked voice."

"Calm down sweet heart what's your name"

"Alice"

"Okay Alice take a deep breath and tell me what happened"

"An explosion happened and then mummy accidentally fell into the fire and a bull man came out"

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Explosion"

"No the other one"

"Bull man."

And then all the memories came back rushing. She had totally forgot what happened. But before she could say anything something that looked a bit blueish passed the corner of her eyes. Then more of it came out, and it looked like shinning blue daggers. It passed right near her but she dogged, and it hit Alice instead. As soon as it touched Alice, it disappeared into thin air leaving a trail of blue smoke.

"Alice are you okay?"

She said as she knelt down beside her to check on her.. Alice opened her eyes and it looked so pale and white, at the same time very lifeless almost as if she had no soul. Her pupils were gone.

Manandra turned to the place were it came from. At first, all she saw was that blueish smoke then she saw a faded blue light. She looked closely and then an entity came out. It looked like the "Grim reaper" but just that it didn't have the death dagger in one hand and its chest area was just a space of light and smoke. And the blueish stuff that came out was much.

Manandra stood up and began to run. So many questions flooded her mind. Like where did that thing come from, where is the other entity, the bull like one. Where did all her members go, did they die, did they find a way and leave her here, different type of questions flooded her mind, as she also tried to dodge the daggers being thrown at her.

There was chaos everywhere and she tried looking around if she could see any of her members. She brainstormed her mind to try to place what had just happened and then the thought hit her. If she couldn't find the other entity, and this one suddenly has a a lot of powers and is still causing chaos, then it most have changed to this for sure because she doesn't really know what she had unleashed but there is a probability that she might have released a dozen of monsters and maybe it has gotten her members and its looking for her.

The screams fear and chaos got worse by the minute and it was getting really hard for Manandra to dodge those daggers. She turned upwards toward her right, and saw a group of people entering a luxurious bus. She rushed there but by the the time she got there, they had all entered.

"Please let me enter" She said to a man with brown hair and brown eyes. "He is quite good looking though". She thought to herself.

"Manandra this is not the time "she said to herself

"Sorry but the bus is full, its gonna get overloaded".

"It's just me, what difference will it make? Please please.....I'm begging you, let me in"

"I'm sorry"

"Please I am begging you. Please!!!!". She said frantically, but the man just shook his head in disagreement. But there was no time to stick around so she left. "Prettiest faces, no, handsome faces have the most wicked heart." she thought.

At that moment while she ran towards the opposite lane, she turned back to look at the bus feeling bad. Just then the bus fell into a huge deep sink hole. Everyone died. Manandra was shocked. If she had been on that bus, she would have died. I guess the handsome wicked face got what he deserved.

Her tension was increasing everywhere and more people died right in front of her eyes. The blue coloured dagger stuff flying everywhere killed more people faster than lightning, but not a single one touched her. After running a few more metres and falling so many times on the way, always at the edge of death, she came across a Catholic church.

Manandra wondered, clearly in a way that thing looked like a demon. Ok it did look like a demon. What if it was an evil entity? then the church would be the best place to be in.

So she ran to the church as fast as she could. When she came in, she met the priest kneeling at the alter praying.

"Join me and pray, for the last day has come." The priest said without turning back. But Manandra had a strange feeling. She could feel the fear. She somehow felt that this is not really the exact time for prayers but she went into the first row of seats and knelt down. What on earth was happening, she thought.

Just then, confused, she felt a presence by one of the doors close to her and she became as still as a rock almost as if she was possessed by the aura it was omitting. She could see the blueish smoke from the corner of her eyes. When all the smoke drifted away, a young man emerged.

"What a grand entry" She thought, almost rolling her eyes.

Manandra was shocked. It had been shapeshifting all along. He was putting on a Greek-like amour and it also looked Roman. He was shirtless. So will you say the amour was only from downwards below actually . And God his biceps and abbs breath taking but we're not really actually talking about that right now he did have a Cape though the kept sweeping floors shockingly dramatically.

It's just that he wasn't putting on the Roman medieval helmet she thought he would. Manandra couldn't see him well but it looked like he was blonde.

She had this feeling to act possessed like as if those blueish stuff had hit her by mistake. She actually thought that if the blueish stuff hits a person, you get possessed. She stayed as still as she could, as her eyes slowly followed him, unnoticeably.

He turned and looked at her, his deep blue eyes looking fierce and dangerous, as Mandy slowly broke eye contact with him. He lifted her chin and examined her face. Mandy's heart pounded hard in her chest. Why did this cute handsome guy suddenly take interest in her. Mandy had just a little tiny ounce of fear in her.

Ok to be honest, a lot of fear gripped her soul but she played cool and continued acting possessed. He just kept on staring at her, until she was saved by the actual priest.

"I knew this day would come". The priest said without looking back.

"And I made sure to make it grand" He said to the priest leaving manandra and walking towards him. Mandy breathed a sigh of relief.

"God hath said of this day and it hath come to pass. I shall not be afraid of the snare of the fowler and of the noisome pestilence". The priest said as he turned and walked towards the man. He brought out holy water.

"But does the brave still go to seek braveness?" The guy said to him.

The priest began to quote some scriptures while splashing the holy water. You could clearly hear the fear in his voice. He raised his voice louder in fear shouting, and his hands shaking, and he himself trembling before the guy. Manandra just stared, watching and trying to understand what was going on.

"Did you bless this?" The shapeshifter guy asked.

The priest stopped in fear immediately. But before he could say anything, a sword pierced his stomach. Within a second, the guy had killed the priest with a sword. And of the swords, poked out his back. It was so fast that Manandra didn't notice. She was shocked. I guess he ain't playing around.

"Send my regards to heaven" He said as he drew out the sword and the priest fell flat on the ground, dead. Mandy felt her entire body shake in fear.

He immediately turned back to Manandra, and walked towards her.
