Shadows Master [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 2

Berlin P.O.V

I stared in horror as they were both murdered before me, in cold blood. It was enough I'd watched my dad die and to find my mother laying on the ground, but now it was my friends. My whole body grew numb, as I forced myself not to cry. I could feel the tears running down my cheeks, and the burning in my nose. The cloudy feeling of loss, and confusion bridling between my brain. They were gone, with now way of returning.

The man stopped walking and yelled out venomously, "I want him found by sundown. Or I will rip your useless throats from your bodies." With that said, all three of them left, but went in different directions.

I let out a relieved sigh when they all left. My heart beating erratically inside my chest. When I was partly certain they were gone, I collapsed on the floor, letting the tears flow from my eyes freely. My body shook and the pain threatened to stop my heartbeat. I cried for Mom, for Dad. For my aunts and uncles, and for my grandparents, and also for my friends. The cold heavy tears wracking my limp body, atop the rotting leaves.

I shot up when I heard a rustling from one of the near by bushes, and my heart sank in newborn fear.

I thought about running, but a shrill voice spoke behind me. "You don't need to run. I won't hurt you young one. As the word of the Seven are my bond." She appeared before me. Her blond hair pulled up in a messy bun, but a few pieces of hair were flowing down the side of her face. She had green eyes that had a hint of brown in the middle. She was some-what tall, probably 5'10 at most, and she was skinny but still had enough muscle on her to be defined as 'fit'.

Her eyes glistened at me, and I narrowed my gaze realizing I was staring. She held one hand in the air and the other one on her chest as if she was making a pledge of some sort. Questions bounced through my mind, like a cannonball.

Who are the Seven?

Are they important people?

"Who are you?", was all I managed to croak out. My crying had left my eyes and throat dry.

"My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Eli.", she replied in a sweet and calming voice continuing, "I'm a witch. I can help you escape from whomever your running from". She spoke in a genuine voice, but I pulled back. Not completely trusting her at all.

A rustle of branches sounded, catching our attention and a familiar voice followed. Further throwing me into a state of dizzy fear and confusion. "Little brat! Where the fuck are you!?", the man from earlier was back. Letting his voice echo throughout the forest.

I let out a slight whimper as I hurriedly threw myself upon Elizabeth. She held out her arms as if she was ready for me to give her a hug. But a low growl emanated behind us and I turned to see his deathly eyes. He stood where Adam and Rob were killed. Scanning the area and spotting us immediately. Thanks to Elizabeth's neon purple dress.

"You!" He shouted, "Damn Shadow Master get back here!", was all we heard before we turned and ran.

"You're a Shadow Master?", Elizabeth asked me in shock.

I replied with a quick nod.

"I'm gonna assume you don't know how to use your powers. Correct?", she says dodging any potential threats.

I reply with another nod.

She starts whispering words but I could only make out a few like 'wind' and 'move'.

"Might wanna plug those ears of yours, right now. Oh, and hold your breath too!", she yells over the rushing wind.

"Wait, what about Adam and Rob?", I yelled out.

"Don't worry. Adam is in the hospital at my coven's main house. Now Rob, he", she paused hesitating to tell me. She looked at me and I gave her a nod, signaling to continue. "Rob, h-he died on spot."

I let my tears fall out of relief and out of sadness for my fallen friends, famaly and my friend that survived it all.

Doing what she asks I held my breath and plugged my ears. All I could feel was the wind flying around us, as her arms wrapped around me. Holding me as tight as she can, so that I wouldn't fly away.

The air slowly calmed down and the noise became louder. Horns honking, people talking, and feet walking on the ground.

Everything was new and amazing, but I wasn't ready. Wasn't ready for the new things that surrounded me. Not ready to live without Mom and Dad. And that's when I broke down. I collapsed again and I let the tears steam down my face. I brung my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around my legs. My head fell on my knees. Tears streaming from my eyes, burning as they trickled down my cold cheeks. The horror of what I saw, driving me insane as the seconds ticked by.

Why? Why did this have to happen to me!?
