The Masked Child

Chapter 7: The Big Fight

The flames kept rising higher and higher expanding at an alarming rate while all the children were still laughing in the background. I was starting to panic until I remembered what Jasmine can do. I screamed at her to do her weird ice power thing. She held up her hand and froze all the flames in place in nearly an instant, but at the same time an ice cold chill came over me and Jack.

The next moment I caught myself shooting lightning through the flames shattering them as Jasmine heated up the air so hot that even the bars started to melt. The bars melted enough for the three of us to jump out as the flames chilled over forms shattered, as we ran the masked child started screaming as the rest of them were going wild. We are trying to ignore the pain since in order for her to melt to bar she heated the air to the point where even though she focused it only at the bars the surrounding air still got so hot that the three of our skins started to just melt a little bit before she started cooling the air again. 

"What the hell is wrong with you!? You were going to die you damn idiot! I was gonna have so much fun watching you burn but of course you damn bastards have to ruin everything!" The masked child was yelling as we ran away.

As we ran one of the children jumped at me so I hit him away with my chain and sent him flying. Two more children jumped at me. I held up my chain with two arms and got one by the neck jumping onto his shoulders and pulling back on the chain. Jasmine burned the second to a crisp using her flaming blade after she stabbed it right into his throat, I pulled on the chain and snapped his neck.

"Get back in the cage. That cage is now your new home. You don't wanna be anywhere other than that cage. If you don't get back in, I'll kill you at least five times and kill your family's and friends for real this time." said the masked child sounding very angry this time

"Don't listen to him and kill them all. Kill every child here and you know what you should kill Jack to. Jack is trying to get Jasmine from you and use the child to make it look like an accident." the voice in the back of my head was saying it and kept saying that over and over, louder and louder until it became so overwhelming I dropped to my knees.

I looked up to see Jack on the ground, his sword laying cracked beside him and his dagger laying in front of him in a pool of blood coming from the side of his neck. A child was crawling on him and grabbed him by the forehead and pulled his head up nearly snapping his neck backwards. Luckily Jasmine stabbed the child in the heart and turns around to kill the two behind her before helping Jack to his feet. I struggled to my feet shortly after she blasted a couple of them that ran at me.

"That was your one chance to kill him and you missed it. you truly are the dumbest man I could be stuck inside." the voice was saying almost like a dad disappointed in his son with it's voice laced with sorrow 

All the children froze in place as steam came out of Jacks neck the only ones who were moving were the three of us as we slowly walked out, as we walked down the room the children's heads moved to watch us walk away but there body's stood rooted in place it was as if there were humanoid owls. I of course killed as many children as I could before leaving since they would't move and I could stab them as I walked past, Jack was in no condition to kill anything and Jasmine was helping him out so she couldn't kill any either.

As soon as we left the room I turned to see the masked child flying at me. I whipped my chain at his arm and flung him to the side while I jumped away he hit the wall and I got his other arm with my other chain and pulled him to me. I jumped and kicked him right in the face, I made contact for only a second before being sent flying right through him. A bunch of zombie dogs ran in through the window and the other masked children were piling through the door. Jasmine ran at the dogs with her blade ablaze as Jack ran at the child only wielding his dagger. After a couple moments I decided to run at the children and kill a bunch before they got too far in before turning back to the child.
