My Guardian Angel (Utapri)

《Chapter 02》

Akari's horror increased when those black winged men started walking towards her. She took a step back. 

"Who are you?" She asked, her voice trembled.

"We are the servants of the lord of hell. We are here to take you to our lord, little beloved soul missy," one of them said.

"What...!?" Akari gasped. 'Beloved soul of the king of heaven', that's what I was called in that illusion.

"Wh-what do you want?!" 

"We want you," the other male replied.

"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in you," Akari said firmly.

"Oh really?" In the blink of an eye, the first man zoomed beside her, shocking her in the process.

"Wha-"

"You HAVE to come with us,whether you like it or not." He grabbed her arm.

"Make me!"In a swift movement, Akari acted on her impulse and punched the man in the stomach. He let her go and clutched his stomach.

"You-" He couldn't finish cursing her because she slapped him with her bag harshly.

"Oof!" The first man fell on the ground.

"How dare you?!" The second minion charged to hit her. However, she ducked and avoided his attack in time. As a counter attack, Akari headbutted him, making him stumble backwards. When he looked back at her, he got punched straight in the face.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed the first one getting up.

"Not so fast!" She hurriedly landed an axe kick on him. Then looking at both the men on the ground, she caught her breath. They aren't any different from humans....

As if hearing her thoughts, black flames covered those two minions. 

"Wh-what's happening?" She took a step backward.

Those two stood up but they no longer looked like a human. They were just black shadows with bloody red eyes. The sight made Akari freeze in fear.

I-Is this their true form...? He's legs began shaking. No....I-I can't be scared!

Akari glared at the shadows, hoping to intimidate them. But it was of no avail. One of the shadows started approaching her. The brunette tried to hit it with her bag again, however, it didn't have any effect as it went through the shadow. She narrowly missed falling under the clutches of the shadow.

I-I have to run! Understanding her inability to fight these, Akari sprinted off. Running as far as Akari could, she ran for her life. Looks like last night wasn't a dream!

Akari didnt look behind as she kept running. But she could feel the shadows coming after her. She wasn't scared when those angels first appeared in front of her. They didn't give any harmful aura. On the other hand, these shadows creeped her to the core. 

It had been a new day. It was supposed to end like any other normal day. Yet, she was having to run for her life. Akari started panting. Her body was becoming tired because not too long ago, she fought those shadows disguised as men.

Still running, Akari came to a conclusion that the shadows can't zoom in like how the first minion had done. She could use this as an advantage. While thinking this, she took a turn. The female had no idea where she was running off to. The location was the last thing on her mind. All she could think about was running.
