Dragon Angel

Chapter 4

❝We're the same, right?❞

ー

　Alone in the darkness, a sweet voice of a girl can be heard. She's crying, begging for something. I could feel her emotions flowing through my body. Somehow it feels familiar, like I was there before. I was that girl before. Or will I be her someday?

　"Please, kill me," she said.

　Crying, screaming, again and again and again. Her voice continued to rang in my ears. Why are you so sad? What is it that make you want to die so bad?

　"It's ... because of him. Because of that person, we suffer," the girl replied to me.

　"Who ... ? Who is it? What did he do?" 

　From afar, I could see the girl standing before me. With clothes that barely covering her body and a cloak. She looked at me with such pained expression.

　"Don't let him fool you or you'll end up like me." Suddenly a bright light coming from her, then she fades away into the light.

　"Wake up."

　Huh? Who's that?

　I opened my eyes slowly, the wind is gone, but I saw a barefooted man wearing a cloak, with bandages around his arms, jumped above me with something in his hand. I quickly get up and jumped back to dodge. What is that in his hand? It looks like a giant ring.

　"Who are you? Are you the one who caused the wind earlier?" 

　He doesn't reply me. Then, I walked up to him and asked if we can talk. But when I was about to walk, he suddenly jumped towards me and swung a knife.

　His movement is a bit slow, so I managed to block his attack with my dagger. Looks like we can't talk, huh? I got my rope dart and a handcuff. This is gonna be tough, but let's do it!

　I dashed towards him and then moved behind him quickly, but then he suddenly turned around and grabbed my head. I pushed my body to his hand and cling on him. When I was about to turn his hand, I felt a burning sensation on my neck.

　Now, what is happening? I didn't even use my aura! Does that means he drained my aura out? This is bad, I have to get away from him.

　When I tried to reach my dagger again, he pin my hand down. My head is getting dizzy, I can't move my body! There's only one way to get away. Okay, I'm sorry Brother, but I have to do this or else I'm done.
