Chapter 3 - Chapter : 3 : Power Unleashed

After receiving this new information, I asked for her name. She replied timidly, "Um, my name is Aisha.". I asked Aisha, "Did you wait all this time just to tell me the truth about myself? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you telling me, but I have this feeling that I've seen you before."

Aisha blushed and came closer to me to say something when suddenly we heard a loud cry from the campsite that sounded exactly like my mother's voice.

We quickly ran towards the campsite. We reached there we saw a black shadowy figure attacking our camp, My whole family was injured and unconscious.

Suddenly Aisha cast some spell and attacked the figure with a beam of light. It was a direct hit. I was surprised that magic was real. "Aisha, that's fantastic!" I declared with unwavering certainty as I gazed at her, I noticed her cheeks turning a deep shade of red. With a timid voice, she asked, "Really? You think so, Thank you".

As I approached my family, I discovered that they were alive but injured. I attempted to wake Ria, but she did not respond.

Suddenly, the figure appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. In a split second, Aisha intervened and blocked the attack.

I was stunned by her sudden appearance, as she had been ten feet away from me just moments before. Witnessing her fight against the figure caused my heart to race. While fending off the attack, Aisha shouted, "Take your sister and run!" I refused to abandon her, insisting that she had saved my family and me.

Frustrated, she urged me to use my powers to help. I inquired about how to achieve my goal from her. She exclaimed, "Feel it, search within yourself, consider the individuals you care for and want to safeguard." I shut my eyes and attempted to feel it, but it was futile. I yelled, "Nothing is happening. What should I do next?" She suggested, "Then, take your sister and flee."

All of a sudden, the entity grabbed her by the leg and hurled her onto the ground. The Kotu leaped towards Aisha, but she avoided it by jumping backward.

She yelled, "I can't keep this up for much longer. Run now!" I felt confused, with many conflicting thoughts racing through my mind. What about my parents? What would happen to Aisha? Even if I ran, there was no guarantee that the Kotu wouldn't pursue me after attacking Aisha.

Meanwhile Aisha on the other hand thought "If I don't finish this fast, Yohan will be in trouble, I can't lose him again". Aisha deep into her thoughts didn't realize that the Kotu was about to pull something. The figure ran toward me.

That Kotu noticed something about me. Just when the Kotu was about to hit me, Aisha came in forward me and took the hit. Aisha falls to the ground.

Seeing her on the ground awakened something in me, I lost my senses. I started punching the Kotu with powers I didn't know I Had and the sheer force of my punch sent Kotu flying a few miles away.

However, in a split second, Kotu flew back towards me. Aisha, who was injured on the ground, said, "I knew it. I knew you could do it. Now kill that Kotu." I started hitting Kotu with kicks and punches so powerful that Kotu couldn't even move its fists.

Suddenly, Kotu jumped towards Ria. Aisha shouted, "No!" and rushed towards Ria, curling her body around her. Just as Kotu was about to hit them, I moved quickly and got in between them, punching Kotu so hard that it disintegrated into nothing.

Suddenly, I fell unconscious and hit the ground, and during that moment, I could hear Aisha shouting my name before darkness took over my consciousness.

 

When I woke up, I realized I was lying on Aisha's lap, and she looked at me with concern. She had a slight blush on her cheeks and a warm smile on her face, as she greeted me with, "Good morning, you finally woke up." I suddenly remembered the Kotu, and sat up from her lap, looking around for any signs of it.

However, I couldn't see it anywhere, so I asked Aisha anxiously about it, "Where is that Kotu? And are you okay?" She responded calmly, "Calm down, don't you remember?" I didn't know what she was talking about, so I asked her, "What can't I remember?" She replied excitedly, "You defeated that Kotu with your sheer strength." I was surprised because I didn't remember doing so.

She then asked, "How did you unlock your powers?" to which I replied, "I don't remember using any powers or defeating any demons, but I do remember seeing you on the ground before everything went dark."

She blushed at my words and smiled, saying, "Really, you did that for me?" With that, she gave me a gentle kiss on my cheek, and I blushed as well, saying, "Thank you."

I then asked about my family, and she pointed towards the tents. I saw that everything was normal, the tents were fine, and there was still a campfire burning.

I looked inside the tents and saw that everyone was sleeping soundly. I asked Aisha, "What did you do?" She smiled and replied, "It's not the first time a Kotu has attacked humans, so there are precautions in place. I'm not working alone; there's an agency behind this. That's why there's no news about demons.

We make people forget what happened and fix their belongings." I questioned why she didn't make me forget, to which she replied, "Why would I? You're a special case, a demon hunter, and one of us." I nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, Ria called out to me from inside the tent, sounding scared. She said, "Bhaiya, where are you? I'm scared." I reassured her and said I was coming.

Aisha whispered into my ear and said she had to go for now, but we would meet again. I was about to protest, but she gave me another kiss on my cheek and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

Ria called out to me again, and I went inside the tent where she hugged me tightly. She told me she had a nightmare where a big bad monster attacked us. I comforted her and told her to go back to sleep.

But she refused to let me go, so I suggested we sleep together, and she agreed. We lay down on the soft pillow inside the tent, and after a few minutes, we both fell asleep.
