The Special One

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

News spread throughout the school that 3 students have escaped. Gaurds were sent to every corner of the town, to search for the students. Luckily, Gondel, Variana and Dean were halfway through town.

"I'm exhausted, can we rest at an Inn?" Dean suggested. 

"We have to keep moving. We can't stop now, they've probably sent those Light Casting experts after us." Variana said with a straight face, focusing on making a civilian move out of there path by creating small spheres of light hit there butt.

Once the man had enough he ran inside his home and the three of them continued through the narrow alley. 

"What does it matter if they are experts at Light Casting? You know Dark Casting that is way awesomer!" Dean exclaimed.

Variana stopped in her tracks and faced up at Dean, there noses almost touching. "Listen. I may know Dark Casting but it doesn't mean I'm great at it. It doesn't mean I know a lot of attack moves and, it does not mean I am, awesome, at it." She said sternly and putting the emphasis on 'awesome'.

He nods and glances at Gondel who had his hand on Varianas arm.  

She calms down and continues leading them out of the alley.  

Gondel stopped following and stood in place. Variana furrowed her eye brows at him, "Why'd you stop?"

He 'shushes' her and his eyes flicker to a building next to them, spotting a dark figure on the roof... Following them.

"Run!" He shouted. 

On cue, they run and flashes of bolts shoot from above, making crates explode and pieces of wood fly everywhere. Dean yelps in pain as a piece of wood stabs him on his right shoulder. Gondel looks behind him and ducks when a piece of big wood flew right toward his head.

Variana turns to another alley, and a bolt flashes before her eyes. She crashes into the wall beside her, her eye sight getting blurry.  

A hand grabs hers and pulls her through the obstacle of bolts aiming at them. Dean was now ahead of Gondel and Variana, he did not know which way to go so the group ended up getting lost.

They reach shelter and hide there until things started to calm down. "Can a Light Caster shoot bolts?!" Variana shouted in fright. 

"Experts can." Gondel stated. They were all speechless, knowing that they were being hunted down.

It was only just the beggining of their dangerous journey.
