Mystic
My world came to a stand still as I watched Holden fall unconscious right into my arms.
My vision turned red, I could feel my fury slowly rise to the surface.
"I'll kill you." I say through gritted teeth, before lifting my head to face the raging demon.
It rolled its eyes at me, showing ignorance and dominance. But that was its mistake, because it must have forgotten that I was the queen of the seven seas. And this island was currently surrounded by water, I guess it realized the moment I summoned little amount of water into my palm to form a dangerously sharp spear.
It began to take steps back, and I could also see fear rising and stirring in its eyes as I stood up. Laying Holden gently on the floor.
Just then the eyes of the demon lands on my blood coated body. I forgot to mention, I had ended the demon which had angered me in the most cruel way possible, causing its blood to spray on my clothes. So technically, I looked like a walking dead.
I began to approach the demon, who wisely took steps back after sizing me up.
"You know, I'm really pissed right now." I began, "First, my clothes got dirty, second: you impersonated me; and now..." I pause, taking a stance which said much about what I was about to do next.
"You attacked my friend." I said with a deadly tone before, leaping at it, making the demon lift its skinny clawed hands to defend my powerful blow.
And blood sprayed.

It's been over thirty minutes, since I had murdered the demon who had claimed to be me and had attacked Holden.
Though why had it taken my form of all people?
That remained a question as, I gently helped Holden sit on the floor before he gently leans against it. Soon, I slump to the ground and join him.
Completely exhausted from my ordeal.
I shut my eyes, for a few seconds to catch my breath, racking my brain to think about where Jax could be.
While still trying to gather my thoughts, I feel Holden move by my side. I don't turn to face him though, I remain in my position.
"I'm still alive..?" He asks, more to himself than me.
"Good to know." I say, exhaustion clear in my voice. That's when I feel him turn to face me, his voice a bit hoarse.
"Why do you look like you had a blood bath?" He asked me, "that's because I did." I say giving him a death glare.
He shrinked back, "who was it who had a death wish to make you this angry?" He asked sheepishly, a small smile on his lips.
I didn't realize how much I had missed it until I saw it.
"Today, I killed the demon who hurt you... next time, I will destroy everything in my path if they dare harm you again." I say, my voice serious as I maintain his gaze, his playful smile falls off his face.
"Since when, did I matter so much to you?" He asked, his voice soft.
I don't answer, instead I get to my feet.
"Lets go find Jax." I say, stretching a hand towards him, in the process dismissing the question.
He stares at me for a while, before hesitantly taking my hand.
"Yeah," he said, "lets go find him." He added, his wound now fully healed.
And without a word more, we set off deeper into the valley to find my spirit animal, Jax.
