Aki's POV:
After a few hours of more walking I pushed the child away from me, secretly hoping he'd fall.
I watched as he struggled to stay on his feet, and when I saw him open his mouth to say something I interrupted him before he could.
"This place should be perfect! It's not in the open, we can easily run if we have to, and the fire in the trees will make it easier to hide." I said proud, as I looked around the area with 5 trees and some on fire bushes.
He didn't respond, he just stared at me with an annoyed look.
"Yeah.. you're right...." I heard him say, but I got confused because his mouth hadn't opened. I was pretty sure his ability was making his hands like claws, not being able to talk without opening his mouth or something. Yeah, that voice wasn't the one of the child I had saved a few hours ago.
I now also noticed that the boys expression wasn't just filled with an annoyed look anymore, but now he was scared again, but there was something different. He didn't look as,,,,, dead inside, like before.
It somehow made me a kind of happy that I saved a helpless child. I mean yeah, the only reason I had for saving him was that I needed someone to help me in battle. I might have an ability that can create hallucinations but I have to tap the persons head for it to work, and thats not as easy as it sounds.
Then I realised that the voice wasn't from the boy, but now completely. I did not know anyone else.
I saw that the boy was looking at his left, in a fighting position, about 2 meters away from me. Of course after seeing that I quickly looked to my right, but when I did I instantly got punched in the face by what seemed to be an on fire hand.
I fell to the ground a bit further away from our new enemy, not being able to keep my balance. The boy jumped at the demon and dug his claws into the demons right shoulder. I took this moment to run at the enemy and tap his head with my hand. The demon didn't look like an adult demon, more like a 6 year old one, so we had a chance of winning, especially with the fact that he has a fire ability. Everyone knows demons are immune to fire.
The demon instantly punched me away again after I tapped him, and a second later also threw the boy off of him.
After I landed I made sure that our enemy would see an adult demon walking towards him, he should flee in fear because of how strong the demon would look. He stood still and spoke instead. "hehe, I won't fall for that. I saw what you did to that other demon, he fleed even though there was nothing. Hallucinations, right? Or at least something like that." He said while staring at me, but then turned to the boy. "I've been following you two ever since" He continued after noticing none of us said anything. "I honestly don't think all that walking was worth it, but now I want to kill both of you even more." He said with a smirk.
One thing about my hallucination ability was that I could see the hallucinations I created, but they were completely purple to me, not realistic colors for the person I used it on.
I watched the purple hallicination approach the demon, while the demon stared at it. It came closer and closer, until it touched the real demon and vanished, only purple particals were left of it, but those disappeared soon after.
My confidence was now completely gone, the only thing I felt was fear, I didn't want to be seen like this. Breathe Aki, breathe.
The demon started walking to me. "Awww, not so confident anymore huh?" He said, still with that annoying smirk.
I slowly started crawling back, not knowing what to, I had to think of a different kind of hallucination, but i've never had to do that before.
The demon was about a meter away from me, when the child jumped onto his back and stabbed him right in the eye with one of his sharpened fingers. I cringed upon seeing it.
The demon let out a pained scream, another one after I punched him in the stomach as hard as I could. The boy who had just saved me, instead of me saving him, fell back onto the ground with the demon. I rushed over there and quickly helped the boy up. "We have to hurry, follow me." I said and helt onto his arm while running away from our 'defeated' enemy.
As I kept on running I made sure to check around me more, so I could now know if there was someone chasing us. How was I so dumb to not check that last time?
Before I could lose myself even more in my thoughts I felt the arm I was holding slowly fall away and then heard the sound of someone falling to the ground. I quickly turned around and saw the kid laying on the ground. "Come on stand up, we need to keep moving." I said trying to get him back up.
"My ankle." He mumbled, fuck, I forgot about that. "Its time for the same thing we did before then." I said as a reply. He nodded, meaning that he understood what I meant and I wrapped my arm around his waist while he put his arm around my neck. It maybe wasn't that fast, but the most important thing at the moment was that we kept on moving, we couldn't let the demon catch up to us again.
About 50 minutes later, we took a small break and sat down behind some trees and bushes. My confidence was back now, thankfully. "Did you get any other injuries from that?" I asked. "No, not really. Only some pain in leg but it isn't that bad." He replied. I let out a sigh out of relief, I'd rather not waste anymore resources. Even if they weren't mine.
"What about you?" He asked me. "Just some pain in my arm, nothing bad." I answered. "Thank god." I heard him mumble.
"Now that I think about it, I never asked for your name." The boy suddenly said after a few seconds of silence.
"Yeah, you didn't."
"So what is it? Idiot."
I just had a smile on my face now. "It's Aki, what about yours?"
"My name is Duck, awful to meet you."
"What? Are you a furry or something?"
"What? Are you an e-girl or something?"
"What even is that?"
"I could ask you the same question."
I sighed. "Fine. Awful to meet you too, Duck."
