Dunkim

New Generation: Chapter 12

Alex's POV

My body hurt. It hurt like a million demons were attacking all at once, like a thousand needles were being repeatedly pierced into every inch of my body. But, I was alive.

"Alex!" Mum's voice said. I moved my mouth into a smile, hiding all of my pain underneath a fake layer of happiness.

"Mum..." I choked, my voice so quiet it was almost incomprehensible. "Dad..."

"We're here, Alex." Dad assured as someone clutched my hand tightly in their own. I opened my heavy eyelids and winced as I was greeted by a bright, yellow light. I moved my weak legs and attempted to stand but my legs wobbled like jelly and I almost fell to the floor but Dad caught me.

"Thanks." I said as I stood with Dad's help, my legs wobbling dangerously beneath me.

"What else did Lalnable do?" Mum asked, taking my hand. I shuddered and didn't answer, the horrible memories fresh in my mind.

"Well, there definitely wasn't any noodles." I said with a laugh, although my laugh sounded horrid and my voice raspy. Dad and Mum smiled. "Is he gone?"

"I'm afraid not." Dad replied sadly, still supporting me. I nodded.

"When?" I asked.

"When what?" Mum asked.

"When can we defeat them?" I answered, my eyes searching theirs.

"Later, Alex. Later." Dad promised. His loopy smile was oddly comforting. There was a loud bang and a sound of hooves. Kasia, Gust, Sjin, and Incidus came bursting through the door.

"Is Alex okay?" Kasia asked hurriedly, coming to a halt.

"Kasia I'm fine." I promised, my voice slightly hoarse.

"You're covered in burns!" Incidus exclaimed, I bet she knew a whole lot about burns.

"She can't be okay." Gust protested, his hooves clicking against the floor as he walked closer to my Dad and I.

"Gust, I'm fine." I insisted, my tone saying that it was the end of that conversation. Gust mumbled something I couldn't quite catch but I ignored it.

???'s POV

I was used to intense heat by now, that's what happens when you've been living in the nether all of your life. So, now that there was cool air against my skin, it was an abnormal and strange sensation.

"Edna wait!" Evelina called out from behind me as my legs worked to get me anywhere but here.

"I'm sorry Eve, but I can't do this anymore!" I cried as I continued to run, leaving someone who I had once considered a friend behind.

"Edna, you can't run from all of your problems!" She exclaimed, using magic to teleport right in front of me. She used magic again to keep me from moving and I could see that her eyes had changed into a red-orange colour, anger. She continued to yell at me until her face paled and her eyes became black, fear. Her magic weakened and I turned to see Pitch, a girl who all but me feared.

"Go away Pitch, you are not welcome here." I demanded, internally preparing myself for a fight. Pitch gave a high giggle and turned before melting into the shadows from whence she had come. Eve was standing there shocked and I took my opportunity to run. I stopped when I was greeted by a very tall boy, blocking my path.

"Edna, is it?" He asked, sneering at me.

I was startled at first but put on a brave face and glanced around for anything that could help me get out of this uncomfortable situation. I saw a huge metal door and yelled for help, assuming that someone would be there.

"You're trying to run from my girl, you hurt her so know I'll hurt you." He said, laughing at my feeble attempt to get help.

I was just about to get sucker-punched when some form of magic kept this man's fist from hitting me. I looked at the circle of magic and found it wasn't someone's who I recognized. A centaur came trotting in and my instinct was to, yet again, run. In case you hadn't already worked it out, I was not the most loved of creatures.

"Wait!" A male voice cried out, and I  don't know why, but I stopped and turned. "Now, who are you?"

I looked at the man, he was blonde and was supporting a girl, who was around my age. "Edna, and I suppose you'll want to kill me now." I assumed.

"No, why would we want to do that?" A short woman with black hair and a red kimono inquired, looking genuinely confused. There was a silence that was borkem by running footsteps from behind me and I saw yet another person I had never seen before. This girl had red hair, deep purple eyes and was wearing a ripped t-shirt and worn out jeans. She looked at the people behind me and her eyes widened.

"Please, please. You have to help me! Please!" She cried. Now that I looked at her closer she was covered in cuts and bruises. "I'm Olivia and they'll kill me." This so called 'Olivia' burst into tears and the short woman ran forward.

"I'm Kim, what's wrong sweetie?" She asked lovingly, pulling Olivia into a hug.

"They... they'll k-k-kill me." She choked in between sobs, the tears running steadily down her face. Kim soothed her and the tall blonde and the girl he was supporting came over to me.

"Who are you?" I asked them.

"I'm Duncan and this is Alex." Duncan introduced.

"Aren't you scared of me?" I asked, my demon-like appearance tended to make people run in fear.

"No, you don't seem harmful." Alex choked, her body was covered in burns and I raised a questioning eyebrow but didn't ask her about it.

"Why were you calling for help?" Duncan asked. I instantly looked around for the man and caught him observing the scene from a bush. My eyes began to glow and I beat my wings threateningly, causing the smug smirk on his face to disappear. Duncan looked over to see what I was looking at.

"Hi, Dunc." The man greeted, coming out of the bushes. My eyes followed him as he walked closer.

"Smith, what are you doing here?" Duncan asked Smith.

"This piece of filth made my girl cry, so I came to make her pay." Smith explained, his eyes showing me no mercy. My eyes started to glow again and sparks came from my hand as Smith continued to anger me.

Come at me bro.
