The Master Of Them All

Chapter VI

The next morning i woke up with a little blood on my forehead, arms and legs. My whole body was hurting and full of bruises. I had a very bad headache. I still had my head on the desk. I struggled to get up. I change from the bloody clothing from yestersay. I yawned. I was still pretty tired.

After i changed in my clothes, i went outside. It was around 8:30. No one was awake yet. I did some coffee for myself. After a few more minutes i heard Blaze say "Why is there blood in the middle of the kitchen? "

I giggled a bit to myself. I went to the kitchen i saw Blaze making a sandwich. "Ah hi Beatrix! Do you know what happened last night? "

"Oh um... I couldn't sleep and i heard some sounds from the kitchen. I went to see what it was and it was this lady and she stabbed me. Jack helped me and uhm Jack uhm healed me. ". I was still reluctant saying he healed me. I still couldn't belive about all of this existing.

" On your first day? Dang it. Are you ok? You're still bleeding. ". His face looked shocked yet slightly annoyed."Yea uhm I'm fine Jack saved me. ". I finished drinking my coffee and made myself some breakfast. Half way through eating my breakfast Jack came in. "Oh uhm hi Jack. ". Blaze hurried out the room and said "I'll let you two alone cause i do not want to explain how the shadow realm works with you. "

There was an akward silence for a few seconds until i said something. "So who was that girl? What did she want? "

"Her name is Carmella Evans. She is one of the most powerful and famous shadow spirit. I think she left us alive because you still might be a shadow spirit. It has happened before that we took in a shdow spirit. Her name was Amelia. I loved her but just a week after she promised she won't hurt me she betrayed us. She broke my heart. "

I winced at the thought of me being a shadow spirit. Even if i did know them for only 2 days they are the closest I've ever been to a family. I was always alone my whole life.

We went toghether in the training room after. When i went in i saw something like a portal made out of shadows with Carmella inside. I panicked but no one else could see her. Maybe i was going crazy and hallucinating?

Jack noticed this and asked "Are you ok? ". I was about to say yes when Carmella came out of the portal and stiked the coach and Jack down. I was about to help Jack up when she kicked me in the head. I saw blood coming out of it. Jack got up and tried fighting her.

Just when Jack was winning i saw that she was going to stab him with a knife she had behind her back. Something just clicked and shadows came out of my arms. It pushed Carmella away. She left while saying "See you soon, darling! ". Me head was pounding and gushing blood. I could see the look of betrayal in Jack's eyes when he realised i was a shadow spirit. I passed out.

My thoughts were racing. No this can't happen again. It's not fair. I get my hopes up and then they get destroyed. Should we even help her? She's just going to come back and hunt us down. But we can't just leave her like this.

My thoughts were interupted by Blaze screaming at the others to heal the badly injured coach. We all used our powers. I didn't say anything the whole time. No one talked about Beatrix until Luna spoke out "Okay someone has to say it. What do we do about Beartrix? ". Aurora responded with "Well we can't just leave her to die. I say we heal her and then kick her out". "I say we let her die. " said Blaze.

I didn't like any of the ideas but the first one was more reasonable. I picked up her limp body that was full of blood. She took a pretty bad hit in the head. I hated to see her like this. No, i can't feel bad. She's a shadow spirit. The sooner i accept that the better. I laid her down on the bed and we all healed her. She was going to wake up in a few minutes.

I stayed to guard her. Blaze sees that i looked more worried then i let on so he came up to me "Hey man. Are you ok? ". "Yea but the situation kind of sucks. It's like Amelia all over again. ". I felt tears stinging my eyes when i thought about her. It had already been a year but it still hurt. At least with Beatrix i didn't know her that well. It was too bad. She seemed like a nice person.
