End Game

Squad 13

(Claire's POV)
Angel showed me to my room after I got my weapon. It was about two doors down from Arthur's and four away from Angel's. The room was small, had a tiny kitchen to the left, and a bed on the opposite side. Even though it was small, it was good enough for me. I laid Erebus on the bed and went to the kitchen to see what they had to eat. Inside the kitchen was a mini fridge, a stove and a storage closet. I took a look in the storage closet first and found it was full of vegetables, then checked the fridge to find am assortment of meats. I grabbed a small piece of meat and turned on the stove, using it to char the meat to a golden crisp. I ate my small dinner and then sat on my bed, listening to the quietness of the place. I picked up Erebus and pulled out the sword, the black blade glistening in the little light there was.
"So Erebus, how did you become a sword?" I asked the sword.
"Hm? How did I? Well.... Thats a good question. Its been so long since I did this to myself. I almost don't remember," answered Erebus in my head. He thought for a moment before answering.
"Well, a long time ago, demons and humans coexisted with one another. Then one day they went to war and the humans found a way to trap us in weapons. But the only problem with their method was that it required the demon to be almost dead, and it was almost impossible to kill us. Then the vampire race was founded and they could kill us. So they secretly used the vampires to get us into weapons. Then I got myself captured and well, here I am." I took in all of what he said.
So the reason why the vampires are in control now, is that we used them a long time ago to get demons in these weapons?
"But why did we forget about the weapons?"
"Because, when we are used by our true owners, it can cause mass destruction."
I sat in thought for a moment, not even noticing the knock at the door until Erebus said,
"Well aren't you going to get it?"
"Oh, sorry. Comimg!" I ran to the door and opened it to find Angel. Her hazel eye sparkled and she had a giant smile on.
"Angel? What is it?" I asked.
"Well, Arthur said to come get you for training." I sighed and nodded, grabbing Erebus and closing the door. We walked to the room where I first arrived, the Hull, and surprisingly it was empty.
"Where is everyone?"
"They're in the training room. Most of the people here are soilders or scientists, so they'll want to see you fight," said Angel, walking into a room labelled Training. The room was bigger than I imagined, and was full of all sorts of training equipment. Arthur had his axe out and was teaching a few people how to properly throw an axe. Then he noticed me and threw the axe my way. I jumped up and landed on the railing in front of me, the axe now where my head was a moment before.
"Nice reflexes Claire! Toss it back down," Arthur called up. I jumped back off the railing and grabbed the axe from the wall. Then with all my might, I threw the golden axe back down to him. He caught it perfectly and then motioned for me to come down. I jumped over the railing and jogged over to him.
"Alright everyone! This is Claire, and she's joining our squad,"said Arthur placing a hand on my shoulder. Arthur introduced me to my new Squad, Squad 13. Zane the Archer had black hair and icy blue eyes, Lily the Fire fist had long blonde, brown hair and green eyes and the last member was Peter the Lancer, who had red hair and blue eyes. The group was lead by none other than Arthur himself. He smiled at the group after he introduced us, and then we started to train.
I was very excited to start and he set up my first match with Lily. She pulled her Fire Fists off her belt and they burst into flames. I pulled out Erebus, the swords glow now turned to a deadly glare. She ran at me, fist pulled back. I jumped over her and landed nicely. She twisted around and swung with a hay maker. I ducked under it and held my blade at her side. She froze and let her fists drop.
"Your dead now," I said standing. The rest of the group looked impressed.
"That was really great fighting Claire," said Zane with a bored and interested face.
"Yea, that was really good for your first time fighting. Though I did see some areas you could have done better," stated Arthur. I nodded, lowering Erebus.
"Wait Arthur," I said confused.
"I thought you said that we were the only slayers." He nodded.
"We are the only slayers. They just have Enchanted weapons." I oh'ed and then we went back to training.

(Few hours later)
After the long strength and endurance training, Squad 13 went to the lounge to relax. Lily sat on a couch, her Fire Fists glowing slightly, Zane sat on the floor, legs tucked in and his head on his arms, and Peter at on the opposite side of Lily, cleaning his Lance. I watched them with curiosity as I made myself food in the lounges kitchen. I finished my plate of steak and walked into the lounge, sitting next to Lily and digging in.
"Hey Claire, can I ask you something?" Questioned Peter, not looking up from his Lance.
"Sure," I said before taking another bite.
"What was it like serving Haze of the North? I've heard he is so cold and heartless." Peters question caught me off guard. Lily perked up at the mention of Haze and Zane moved to look. I set down my plate and sighed.
"Well Haze is..."

HAHAH! You wont find out about Haze until the next chapter! I did this for a reason. ...........

Oh my gosh... I just realized that Willow is gone. Did my story actually kill her? Oh no.. WILLOW! WILLOW GET IN HERE NOW!
