The Crazy World We Live In

Chapter 8: On The Run

(^ Picture of Arkasoon above^)

Aiden

I awoke in a dark room alone, no windows, and one door. I tried to get up but my body was chained down to a bed. When I realized this, I let out a small groan.

"He's alive, wow I thought you would never wake up. Hahaha."

That voice, I've heard it before, so familiar yet I can't remember who it is.

Wait, no it couldn't be...not the head of the agency.....Carisa Bank

"Carisa, is that you?"

"Wow the young, rebellious, traitor remembers his old boss."

She said as she finally stepped out of the shadows to where I could see her.

"You were never my boss, if I had it my way, you wouldn't be anyone's boss"

She looked at me, then a grim smile came across her face

"You should have never said that little boy."

I then felt a cloth drop over my face. Off in the distance I could her girl scream. It sounded like Stormy. I hope she's ok.

Steven

We continued to follow the trail of the car that took Aiden and her friend Stormy. eventually I decided it was to quiet because neither of us had spoke to each other in over an hour except for saying which direction the car went

"Rocky, I just thought of something."

"And what would that be Steven?"

"Have you ever thought about when you are asleep and you have that felling like your falling? I was thinking about what my mom told me when I was little. She would say the Angels would come and carry those who died to heaven while they were asleep to heaven. But she also said that the Angels were clumsy and would drop the people. What if that sensation was because we died?"

I hadn't though of something I just wanted to break the silence.

"Steven, what the hell are you thinking about that for, especially at a time like this?"

"I don't know Rocky; I just didn't like the silence."

Once I said that she just looked at me then she smiled.

"I'm with you on that one; I just didn't know what to talk about."

"Yeah..."

She then looked at me puzzeled

"You say that like you have someth-"

She stopped mid-sentence then looked at me and mouthed the words "Don't move"

She then reached down to her boot and grabbed the hilt of her dagger. Then she leapt into the air and pulled her dagger, reveling her demonic form. Once she did so someone stepped out of the trees and pointed a gun at me.

He was a tall man with a black Trench Coat on and dark sunglasses on, as well as a hat that stopped at the rim of his glasses.

Once he cocked the pistol in his hands I knew he meant business. As soon as I heard a click, Rocky landed behind him with her Dagger to his neck.

"If I was you, I wouldn't do that."

She said in a cocky attitude with a sly grin on her face.

Then out of no where the guys arm snapped up and grabbed Rocky's arm, then flung her over his shoulder and onto the ground in front of him. As soon as she landed, he placed his foot on her chest and pointed the gun at her head.

"Ms. Rocky Birk I presume. To bad we can't chat, I have bigger matters to attend."

He said then pulled the trigger.

It all happen so fast I though Rocky was a goner, but then, right before the bullet hit her, she burst into black and purple flames and it seemed as if a burst of wind came from her. The wind blew the guys hat off his head and as soon as the flames touched the bulled, it turned into ash. Then Rocky grabbed the guy's leg and twisted it. She guy then fell over and landed on the ground. In a matter of second, they were both on there feet, Rocky's flames hadn't went away either.

I had never seen so much power come from one half-breed. Never have I seen flames like that, and if what I am thinking is true, then the prophecy has begun.

Rocky

How can Steven just stand there with his mouth wide open just watching me, this guy is really strong, I don't even think he is a human. I send a swift kick to him and it hits him in his face and knocks his sunglasses off. Once they are off, I got a good look at his eyes. They were not ordinary eyes they were pure black, even the whites of them. no wonder he is so strong, he's a demon!

"Steven, I could really use your help, this guy is a demon!"

Once I yelled that he snapped out of it and grabbed the katana on his back and jumped in. he looked at the guy in his face and a curtain of terror fell over Steven's face.

I could faintly hear Steven mutter the name "Arkasoon"

"Rocky, run!!!"

He yelled and then shoved me away

I looked at him wondering why but then the guy stabbed his fingers into Steven's chest and a black, webby liquid started to move over his body, trying to take him over. Steven let his katana fall to the ground as he fell to his knees.

"STEVEN!!!

I yelled as I ran towards Arkasoon, my flames growing bigger as I did. I grabbed Stevens's katana and shoved it through Arkasoon's chest. Then I lifted my dagger and started rapidly cutting him al over. His hand fell from Steven's chest and Steven went limp on the ground. The black thing melted of him into a black smoke like substance. Arkasoon looked at me and smiled.

"This has only begun Ms. Birk, I'll be back."

As soon as he finished saying that, he turned to dust and the katana fell to the ground on top of the dust pile.

I slid my dagger back into my boot and ran over to Steven. He lay on the ground limp and lifeless. I put my fingers on his neck and checked his pulse, it was there, but was growing faint. As if on instinct, I grabbed my dagger out of my boot, cleaned it off, then I cut my palm. Then I propped his head up against my leg, and pressed my bleeding palm to his mouth. As soon as I did that, I could feel the power surging out of me into his. Minutes later, Steven awoke and looked up at me.

"You saved me. I thought I was dead, but you didn't run away, instead you ran to me. Why?"

I looked at him and smile.

"I couldn't just stand there and watch you die, it was wrong. Plus he is who killed my father and he is going to pay for it."

There was something about Steven, I keep getting memories and feelings about his, but I don't know what or why. That also played part in why I saved him, but I could never tell him that. But something's telling me he already knows this. As soon as I finished thinking about that, Steven sat up and kissed me.
