The Guardian (OlderVersion)

9th Chapter ~

When I woke up all my body hurt preventing me from moving, that impact had been quite hard making me hurt all over, but, holding out the pain I felt, I managed to sit up, however no more than that, I could hear the sound of something made of metal clash against another thing and once I looked up ahead, my eyes widen with the sight. Two boys were fighting each other with swords in the middle of that deserted street, I shook my head in order to make me wake up from that dream but, I wasn’t dreaming, unfortunately that was reality.

Observing better my surroundings not a single soul was seen around and if it wasn’t for that clashing I would be in a peaceful silent only listening to the birds’ melodies, however upon that entire ruckus the birds had flown away and the sound of war had invaded that place; I looked, once more, to those two and noticed one of them was that scary man from the bridge, he was wearing a grey sweater, tight, plain, black pants and a black coat that reached his ankles, his boots were also dark, besides that in his hand he held a massive sword and despite being fighting he had a wide smile on his face just like he was enjoying it.  

I averted my eyes away from him and ended up looking at the other person. His structure was similar to Heart but they had their differences, instead of light brown hair, that boy had sunny golden hair that almost seemed to shine, instead of the hazel eyes, his eyes were vivid green but upon looking at them they put me into a daze just like the first time I had met Heart, however in his eyes there was something strange, it was almost as if he was in pain, indeed those were the eyes of a pained heart. He had a white sleeveless shirt with a silver cross the same size as the shirt itself, tight, white pants with two silver belts tied on his right leg, silver tennis, a sleeveless long, white coat that reached his ankles with sliver decoration and fingerless white gloves with a silver star on the right hand; he also wielded a katana in his hands, which compared to the other massive sword seemed like a weak opponent yet, their strength was equal.

After a couple of minutes, that boy ended up noticing I was awake which distracted him allowing the other party to attack him pitiless; I couldn’t bear watching it so, when that man was about to land, what seemed to be his final attack, I rushed over to the boy, despite all the pain I felt, and assumed a defensive posture in front of him with both of my arms raised and my legs opened, hoping to stop him. The man took a few steps back, however that didn’t seem to prevent him from attacking, and so, when he charged once more in our direction, not knowing what to do, I just screamed with every strength I had left in my body.

“STOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!” right after that my body started emitting a white light that pushed that man away and actually hurt him.

“Tsk. You are more than what I expected.” he finally spoke with his deep voice whilst I fell on my knees. I didn’t know what had just happened, but I knew I couldn’t do it again for I was barely hanging on.

“Never underestimate your opponents! Don’t they teach you that on the other side?” I heard a soft voice speak right near my ears whilst a pair of hands had been put on my shoulders.

“That voice…” I thought.

“Hahahaha.” the man let out a loud laugh. “What an interesting bunch, well then, I’ll leave for now. We shall meet again, princess.” he bowed down with a grin before disappearing in thin air.

“P-Princess?” I thought to myself surprised, but then forgot it since I had important matters to take care of. I turned my neck, since I couldn’t move any part of my body, and faced that sunny god like boy.

“That was amazing Mia!” he exclaimed with a chuckle; I frowned at him, for I was still suspicious, and I decided to make sure of who I was talking with.

“I’m going to pretend you’re Heart!” I affirmed leering. “You have 30 seconds to explain what has just happened.”

“There’s no need to pretend. I AM Heart, anyway, that man was a demon who tried to attack you, and I come to the rescue, thought you ended up rescuing me.” he explained with a calm and serene face.
