Chapter 9 part 2

No..No..No!! I repeated in my head. Why? It's my birthday for crying out loud! Couldn't they have chosen another day to invade Nertronia? Why today? I was so close too!

"Joy, come on!" Henry shouted as he interrupted my thoughts. He grabbed my hand and we ran through the corridors.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You are going back to your room, where it's safe."

"Oh no you don't," I yanked my hand away from his. "I'm going to help you fight those..things."

"You can't, you have no idea how it is and you won't find out."

"Wha-" Before I could finish, he picked me up, and threw me over his shoulders. "Hey!! What are you doing??"

I kept hitting his back, kicking and screaming. But he still didn't say anything, I already knew he won and I lost. So I stopped to show I gave up, but I didn't. I let him drop me off in my room and locked the door. I snorted, those locked doors doesn't stop me.

I ripped off the ends of my dress and now it ends right below my knees. I took off all jewelry and prepared myself to knock down the door.

Then an explosion happened again and made the ground shake. I ran over to the window and all I could see was madness. The guards came out from every corner fighting off the Creeptons.

They were all hideous; colors of a dark, nasty green and brown. Some were black. In the distance, I saw two familiar men slowly making their way here.

I ran up to the door stood a couple feet away. I closed my eyes and was about to lunge at the door, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw a tiny ball of light. It was like a little ball full of flames. I stared at it as it began to grown bigger and bigger.

I reached out to grab the golden light and all I felt was power.

Pure power, that spread through my body like a wildfire.

I opened my eyes to see everything has remained the same. I turned back to the door and pressed my hand against the door. Immediately, it burst down, slamming on the floor hard.

Not caring at what just happened, I shrugged and ran to fight.

For justice.

For peace.

For freedom!

I stepped outside and I already find everyone fighting few of those crea-Creeptons.

One of those things spotted me and gave me a wicked grin, showing no teeth. It came running towards me with a sword in it's  hand.

All the training I've done for weeks came to me. Adding to the power I summoned, I felt unstoppable.

The Creepton takes it's first swing as I duck, giving a punch to it's stomach which sends him flying a few feet away. He straightened itself, preparing to take another swing but before he could, my foot makes contacts with his head. But just so you know, he doesn't have one anymore.

I smirk to myself for my deadly success as five more comes screaming. Within seconds, all of them-dead.

As I stood up straight, I felt like as if I'm missing something. As if something in me were in control when I was fighting,  but it quickly left as it came.

I notice everyone was staring at me with shocked expressions written all over their faces.

Henry is the first to run towards me and pulls me into a tight, tight hug. As much as I wanted him to stay, I just couldn't breath. So I tapped his back.

"Oh sorry. You were just-wow. The way you were killing them and all..." He trailed off.

I could've sworn I saw his face go red right before he turn his head away.

"Yeah....how were you able to do that?" Elliot asked suspiciously.

"I-I don't know. It was like another part of me that took over." I said in between chuckles.

"Sorry to ruin this touching moment, but we have some unwanted company on their way." Robert said.

"Well I wouldn't recall myself or my fellow brother, unwanted. I'm sure Cathy is familiar with us. Isn't that right Cathy." A voice said. We all snapped our heads towards him. "We meet again." It's that tall slim guy.

"You!" I spat. "My name is Joy, not Cathy." I said through gritted teeth.

"You know him?" Henry asked,confuse.

"He was in my dreams. Or shall I say nightmares." I continued to glare at him. "You have a name or something?"

"Thompson and this here is-"

"Theodore." The shorter guy spoke up.

"What do you want from us?" I stepped forward but Henry was holding me back.

"We want a trade, an exchange. You come with us, and your friend lives." Theodore said as he took Sam from behind him, choking her.

My eyes widen as I get chills all over. How did they get to her so fast? How hadn't I seen her? I can't let them hurt her. I won't let them her her.

I took a step closer. "P-Please, don't hurt her. Don't hurt her, I'll go with you or whatever you want. Just let her go."

"J-Joy...d-don't do this." I could barely hear her as she still tries to catch her breath. Seeing her in this condition made my stomach turn into knots.

Theodore pulled out his sword and aimed it at Sam's chest, "Don't try anything sneaky, unless you want to see your friend have a sword cut through her. Though it's very tempting.

I didn't say anything but continued to walk closer.

I kept my eyes on Sam as her eyelids would open and closed. Her paled skin had deep cuts and bruises all over.

Suddenly, Thompson put his hands to his head as if he was receiving a message through  mind-link. He darted looks between me and Sam as a mischievous grin appeared on his face. Then he nudged Theodore and the same look was on his face, then he said, "Change of plans."

Before I could blink, a bloodcurdling scream ripped through the air. It belonged to Sam.

My voice was caught in my throat unable to say anything. But that day when I had that painful headache right before I passed out, it was back. Only this time, it was 100 times worse. It wasn't only a minute before I started glowing, floating in a few feet in the air, an outrageous storm is happening, the ground is shaking, the strong winds created a tornado, and flames were circling around me.

I just let all hell broke loose but right now, I don't give a damn.

I glanced down at Sam's still body and back at the two monstrous men. I want them to feel pain. The same pain I feel. The pain they caused for everyone.

I want them to die.

I couldn't even find my voice so I let my power do all the talking. Surging my powers and all the strength I had, and threw it all at them.

Everything after that, became white.

Just white.
