Soul Shards

Chapter 3

Abby's POV:
I woke up at 7 and saw my empty bed. I cried a little bit but not to much. Who or what killed Jake is probably going for me next so I'm just watching out, I don't want it to see me weak and try and kill me. As per usual I made breakfast and a coffee, but only one coffee and only two pieces of toast instead of four. It felt so lonely in the house now but I had a feeling it was going to be empty of all humans soon.

At 12:30 I walked across the park to the bench my parents and I always sat at. There was a man, a particularly large man, sitting in the space that was always empty when ever we came to the park. I sat down on the other side. "Have you figured out who I am yet," he said. The voice way defiantly Alex Smith and he was wearing the classic burgundy shirt. "Alex Smith from Hatfilms?" He lifted his head. "Well good job."
"What are you here to talk to me about and who is watching us." 
"The person who is watching us is who I want to talk to you about."
"Who is it exactly."
"His name is Azazel and he wants us dead."
"Why us."
"Not just specifically us, there are others as well."
"What do you mean others."
"We are called the Oderrus and we hunt people, well they aren't people, but we hunt things like Azazel."
"So there are more."
"Different types but yes."
"So I'm guessing you and the rest of Hatfilms are part of the Oderrus."
"And so are the Yogscast, well certain people."
"Like who."
"I can not say here but meet me here shall take you to a safer place make sure you aren't followed." He handed me a piece of paper containing a street name and a number, and a few instructions. "Wait do I go now."
"Yes."
"But how can I trust you."
"You have seen the mark on your arm right."
"The dragon, yes I have."
"Well." Alex drew back his sleeve and revelled a dragon that wrapped around his upper arm near his shoulder. "But mine is only a little dragon."
"It grows as your power does."
"Power?"
"I shall explain more when we are safe."
"I need to go home and grab a few things as I have a feeling I won't be going back, mind if I," I said standing.
"No, but be quick and don't take anything to obvious such as a photo on a shelf or food, you may take a few clothes and toiletries."
"Alright." I got up and walked briskly home.

I grabbed a few clothes, my toothbrush and my laptop which had always been hidden from view. As I was doing so I began to think about something. If they are trying to hide from this Azazel, why have a YouTube channel. I grabbed my beanie and my glasses then headed out the door. I looked at the piece of paper and what it said quickly before I jumped in my car and drove there.

I made sure to go down the Main Street and weave in and out of a few cars just in case someone was following me. I came to a nice quiet street with a park at the end of it. I stopped at number 32 and went around the back just like it said but went into 34. I jumped the fence and just opened the door. "Alex?" I said in a loud whisper.
"This isn't his house," Ross appeared from upstairs.
"Ross?"
"Yes. And you can talk normally Azazel can't hear you in here nor can he know that you are in here."
"Why aren't we in Alex's house."
"Because that's where he is expecting you to go. Please take a seat while we wait for the others."
"Others?"
"Well Trott, Hannah, Lewis, Duncan, Kim, Sjin -Paul- and of course Alex and I, are all Oderrus." I looked at the crystal shard on his necklace, it was a dark blue like mine. "You have a dark blue shard like me," I said pointing to his and pulled out my own from under my shirt. Ross mumbled something that I could only here a few words. Your, brother and pissed. Is all I heard. "What did you say?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it."
"Ok, I will ask you later when I find out more about what's going on."
"I'm sure you will already find out later anyway."
"Ok...." I was a bit suspicious of that. 

I heard the back door open and close and it was just Trott. "Hey Ross, hey A...," he pointed his finger at me like he was trying to remember my name. "Abby."
"That's it. Knew it started with an A. Hey Abby," Trott waved at me. I waved back, he seemed so cheery. He took off his coat and threw it on the chair beside me and sat down. I saw he had two short swords on his back. "You find any?" Ross asked.
"Why have you got short swords?" I asked Trott.
"Well she knows her weapons. I'm a warrior Oderrus. There are Wizards, Elementals and Warriors."
"So that's the power side of things."
"Yes. Every Oderrus is kinda a warrior but they have only designated weapons that they use if their powers were obstructed but Warriors can wield any weapon."
"Cool, then what do you think I am."
"All of them," Ross said, "just like Alex."
"Is that why I have the dragon on my arm." He nodded. "So what are you then."
"Warrior and Elemental."
"Not all three?"
"No. It's rare to get a child of all three from two parents of the same especially both you and your brother having the same thing. But it's more common to get a child of two from different parents, although it's not common to find parents of two different as well."  The door opened and closed again but this time it wasn't someone I recognised. "Hey Katie," Trott got up and greeted Katie with a hug and a kiss. I then realised it was his girlfriend. "Katie this is Abby, Smith's little sister. Abby this is Katie my girlfriend, she is a warrior too." She held out her hand and I shook it. "Nice to meet you," she said.
"You too." In the next 3 hours the rest started showing up. Paul was next, then Lewis and Hannah, then Duncan. No one came for a while after that, then it was Kim. Then finally Alex was last to walk in the door. Kim and Duncan were Wizards, with purple gems. Paul was an Elemental with a light green gem. Hannah was a warrior and Lewis was a Wizard they both had light blue gems. Trott and Katie had a red gem. Alex was like me and he had a dark green gem.
