"Emily!!!"
"That's right. She is a smart one." A voice sounded from behind and they all got alerted.
Nancy eyes wavered as she saw shadow like things from some strange beings that looked like humans. They appeared circling them. She looked at the one who just spoke. It seemed to be the leader of them and it held a weapon shaped like a beast crest.
Kyle immediately pulled Nancy behind him and suddenly a weapon appeared. She had no idea where he got the little weapon he was holding but right now that was least of her problems.
The boss glared at Nancy and then to Kyle who was shielding her.
"You don't wanna do that now. Do you?" It laughed. "By now her little friend would be in our custody. If we would have her now...." It pointed at Nancy "... Her friend would be released." It laughed. "You care for your friend. Don't you." It gestured for her to come to them. "If you'd be so kind."
Kyle looked at her. She was frozen in her spot and her expression showed that she was terrified. A lot was going through her head by the way.
Did she just see magical beings or spirits? And they have Emily? No! They can't. Emily is like her everything. Her comfort. Her only closest friend. Her sunshine in the dark. Though most of the time she was annoying, she still loved her anyways. What should she do? Emily must be safe at least.
Nancy trembled and Kyle finally whisperd to her. "You don't need to worry so much about Emily. Jackson is with her remember? Just trust him and us. We'll keep you safe." He said bringing hope to her.
That's right. Jackson should be their leader right? He should be capable of safe guarding Emily right? Knowing full well Emily is Nancy's best friend he won't like to cause harm to her right? Okay then. She'll trust them.
She finally nodded to Kyle and in a second, all she could hear were clashes. What? So fast. She tried to see what was going on but it was all dust which rises in the air. Nancy closed her eyes. She couldn't keep up anyways they were more faster than normal. Her body tingled and her attention quickly went to the direction it pointed to her.... Evielyn is about to be attacked.
"Behind you Evielyn."She screamed. Hearing that Evielyn turned around and slashed. There was a xonidjez behind her. She plunged her dagger into it and it dissolved into smoke and disappeared. What? How did she know? She looked over at Nancy and noticed her eyes closed. What? Could it be one of her power? Cool then.
"Keep focused. Evielyn." Kyle said seeing her all lost in thought and a xonidjez was about to attack her. "We can't afford for our healer to get hurt."
Hearing that Evielyn cleared her head and paid attention to the fight. More kept coming anyways. And it looked like there was no stoping in the attacks. Though they're more tougher than humans, they still have limited energy. They have to finish off the boss now.
A scream was heard. Kyle's attention suddenly went to her. Something had grabbed Nancy from behind but it wasn't Nancy that screamed. It was the xonidjez. Apparently, it got burnt. Hah. That's what you get trying to get a hold of the most powerful being.
Nancy was only startled. How come she didn't notice the one behind her. This skill that she had that made her able to notice threats suddenly stopped? If it wasn't this ability for her to unknowingly hurt those beings she could have been hurt by now.
She stepped back a bit from the screaming xonidjez and looked at things slowly dissolving. A knife swooshed past her and the xonidjez finally disappeared.
"Are you alright?" Kyle's voice sounded behind her. He walked right before her and looked her up till down.
She stared at him. "Yeah. I am." She then turned to the others they dealt with the other xonidjez leaving the boss.
Looking at the boss, Nancy swallowed. Is it just her or it looked angry. Heck angry. Suddenly Kyle was no longer beside her and a crash was heard. She turned back to see Kyle hit on the floor. What strength and speed. It looked at her menancingly and she could feel blood lust from it. Yet she wasn't worried for herself. She was more worried for Kyle. It began walking to her and she shuddered moving backwards subconsciously. And like light, she felt something hold her.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah." She screamed and suddenly a light shines from her body. It was brighter than the sun and it was quite blinding.
Evielyn, Alice and Allison all bent down and covered their eyes from the light while the boss all disappeared into whips of smoke.
Soon after the light dimmed, Nancy swayed and fell from exhaustion.
