The Battle For Sky Book 1: A Dark Secret

Chapter 28

??? POV

Running...That's all I remember. I can hear people chasing me...What did I do to deserve this? I just don't understand...I'm tired but that doesn't help me one bit. But then I felt a rush of power and a pair wings sprout from my back along with a tail, and I go flying into the air. How did I-

"That should give us some time before they catch up...Good thing that they didn't catch onto the fact that you could also fly...But we need to hurry Soul before they figure us out...Soul are you okay? You look like you're going to fall over unconscious or something..."

Who was that? I don't even know who that even is but...I feel like I know this person from somewhere before... But before I could even process what I was doing, I started to reply to the person...

"Yeah I'm fine Ender, I'm just thinking...Why do people hate me so much? I'm the same as them but...I'm just more special than they are. But why? Why must we suffer because of what I am? I don't get it...They even started to call me 'Soul the Reaper' because of my gifts, I just don't get it! It's not my fault that I enjoy killing people, or using my powers, or even the gore that comes from killing people...It's just instinct you know? I said with such coolness that I know for a fact that I never had before...

"Yeah I can see what you mean there. But just remember this though Soul, the three of us are always here for you...No matter what! So let's get to somewhere safe so that we can spend the night safe and-Soul watch out!" Ender said urgently and I felt something whizz by my face and felt something go straight into my leg.

I screamed out in pain as blood started to trickle down my leg. I felt the air rush past me as I started to fall towards the fast approaching ground...I saw purple and gold and...blackish gray particles materialize just above me as I continued to fall. I'm going to die...there's no way I can survive a fall like that there's no way...

I fell and I hit the ground hard. I could see my vision starting to blur and I could see three boys, I don't know who though, approach me quickly. I tried to get up but once I got to my feet, I fell over back onto my side. I could hear a familiar voice calling to me but I couldn't quite put my finger on it...

"Soul! Dam it why didn't you catch her Ender!? She's going to most likely die or something! Oh man, come on Soul stay with me...we were going to the Budder Kingdom for a reason! Come on...please don't die, you can't!" The person started to say but was crying now. I know him but I can't figure it out! But then another person started to talk...this time it wasn't Ender, or at least I believe it wasn't him...

"Derp, you can't beat yourself up like this...Ender did what he could and was drained of most of his powers, by flying Soul this far...We all could've done something better to prevent this from happening. I'm sorry Soul...I hope you can forgive us..." the person said and knelt next to Derp.

"Wither?..." Derp said but stopped as he saw Wither pick me up and place me in Derp's arms. Derp just nodded and held me close as the sound of people running towards us grew louder by the second. Derp quickly, but carefully, pulled the arrow out and I could see that he, Ender, and Wither were teleporting somewhere...And when we arrived at a place, I fell unconscious...

Sky's POV

When Paradox walked out of the room I was just, wow. I looked over to Noah and saw him turn to Mr. Puppy and started to talk to us.

"Guys I need you all to leave that way the girl can rest...And could someone please tell me her name please." Noah said and it was quiet obvious that he was extremely tired from today's events, even though it was still early in the morning, or afternoon more like it but still, he was dog tired.

"Her name Noah is Soul, she's one of my recruits for the Sky Army..." I said blankly as I got up weakly and started to walk out of the room with everyone behind me starting to follow me one at a time. I stood by the entrance waiting for everyone to come out and when Noah came out, I was about to leave but Noah stopped me.

"What is it Noah? Is something wrong?" I asked looking at the young boy.

"Well I didn't mean for you to leave Sky...I wanted everyone else to leave because I think she'll recover quicker if you're with her...But that's only a theory though..." He said looking from Soul to me and back.

"Of course Noah! I'll stay here if you think that'll help her." I said and started to turn around but stopped and turned back to Noah.

"Oh and her name is Soul, Souldragon9" I said and turned back to what I was doing.

"Ok got it...Can I get you anything or do need me to do anything..." He started to ask but trailed of...

"Um...yeah could you get me some budder apples please an some OJ in case She wakes up. That way she has something eat if she feels like it..." I said and looked at Soul and how beautiful she was...Wait did I just say that!? Oh Notch I'm such an idiot...What if I said that out loud or something!? Oh Notch.

I looked t Noah and saw him laughing. Wait did I really just say that out loud!?

"Sky you're blushing like real bad right now." Noah said and stopped to calm himself down and to catch some air before continuing on.

"But there's a fridge right there with some apples in it along with some OJ. The cups are next to the bedside table and so are the plates in case you get some steak or whatever...But I'll be going now, call me if you need anything." He said and jumped out of his skin when a phone appeared by the table and just tumbled on.

"I swear to Notch, that thing scared the living Nether out of me when it does that!" Noah said and walked out of the little curtain room, closing the curtains behind him.

I walked over to the bed and sat down at the foot of the bed and looked at Soul...

Why did this have to happen? She didn't deserve any of this, but I allowed her to get mixed up in this whole mess and it's all my fault...

I sighed and looked at Soul when I felt her shift in the blankets. She was now clutching onto one of the pillows and holding it close to her...Thats so freakin adorable...I got up and ate an apple real quick and scarfed down some OJ. When I was done I got onto the bed and sat directly next to Soul. As though she knew that I was coming, she moved a bit away from me as though to give me room. I just smiled at her and I did the most funniest thing ever...I took the pillow away from her and saw that she just laid there like nothing ever happened. I chuckled a little at that and got onto the bed that way it looked like I was sitting up on the bed. I lifted Soul up and laid her head on my lap. I started to stroke her hair and tell her all about my adventures with the guys and the whole reason why I made the Sky Army, and all of that. Even though she wasn't able to hear any of it, it still felt good to hear my own adventures and everything...I looked at Soul again and saw her hoodie right next to me. I picked it up and placed it over her shoulders. I leaned in and kissed her on top of her head and smiled a nice small smile at Soul.

"I will stay by you and I will make sure that you will fully recover with me by your side...I promise...I love you Soul, please get better" I said still stroking her hair.

Soon after that I fell asleep with Soul still in my lap...
