Chapter 2
Bellarius’s pov
As I walk away from the guards I’m wondering who this other hunter was. “A new hunter. I wonder who that is?” I say to myself. As I’m walking I realize I haven’t eating anything before I left. “Crap I forgot to eat anything.” I say to myself as I walk down the road. I walk past a nice restaurant and go in. I walk in and a girl with a big smile appears and takes me to my table. When I sit down I order french toast with bacon, and sausage. I get my food and eat it. When I’m done I pay for my food and leave, heading back toward the edge of town when I notice something moving in the corner of my eye. I look over and see a girl with long brown hair running into an alley with two big guys chasing after her. “Damn those two never learn do they?” I say to myself following them down the alley drawing bursinger, ready for a fight just to be safe. When I catch up with them I’m amazed at what I see, the girl with the long brown hair was taking the two guys down like they were nothing, I notice when she flips one of them her sleeve moves out of the way showing the sign of the hunters. “She’s a hunter?” I ask myself. After she’s done with them she looks up and notices me and she takes off running. I chase after her trying not to lose her as we weave through the alleys of the town. “Hey! Stop! I just want to talk!” I yell to her. “Yeah right!” She yells back. (What’s her problem?) I ask in my head. I keep chasing after her. (If she’s a hunter like me then we’re going to have a major problem.) I say to myself. We run all the way to the other end of town to where the waterfront is. I follow her into the woods and lose her halfway into the woods, I slow down and decide to take a swim at the waterfront. I get there and still can’t believe how beautiful it is. It’s got two amazing waterfalls, that create a never ending rainbow. Crystal clear water, that allows you to see the very bottom of the lake it’s in. “Wow it’s still as beautiful as I remember it.” I say to no one. The funny thing is I haven’t been here since my brother died and now that I’m back, I can’t help but wonder why I didn’t come here to think when I needed to. I quickly get undressed and dive right into the crystal clear water, when it hits my body it sends a wave of relief though my entire body. I swim towards one of the waterfalls and dive under it and dive all the way to the bottom and come back up to catch my breath. As I was underwater I noticed a cave I have never seen before. I quickly dive back underwater and head for the said cave. I enter the cave and find that it isn’t completely filled with water. It has a small entrance above the water inside of the cave. “Huh… I must be right behind the waterfall in here for it to be like this.” I say to myself. I start to explore the cave to see what it has to hide. I walk down to a fork in the tunnels. There were three tunnels, one on the left, one in the middle and the last one on the right side of me. I grab a small rock and throw it into the cave on the left and heard it make a splash and realized that the left tunnel was filled with water. I grab another rock and throw it into the tunnel on the right and hear it hit the ground. I grab one last stone and throw it into the tunnel in the middle and I hear hit something that sounds like a floor that doesn’t quite belong in a cave behind a waterfall, I start to head towards the middle cave when a sound surprised me from the middle tunnel making me run towards the right hand tunnel drawing bursinger incase I would need to fight my way out of this cave. I wait in the shadows making sure that whatever or whoever it was wouldn’t be able to see me if they happened to look down the tunnel I was in. What I see coming out of the middle tunnel is a giant troll type creature with a giant club made out of steel, with spikes all over it. (Shit that’s how they're always getting to the towns and cities near by so fast, they're using these tunnel.) I think to myself. The troll looks around to see what could have made the noise. About five minutes later the troll leaves, I wait a few seconds before I make a run towards the water I came from, I jump into the water and swim out out of the cave and come out in front of the waterfall. “God that was a little too close for comfort.” I say to myself out loud, thinking no one else was around to hear me. “Well I might just relax but first, SHAKIRE!” I say shakire’s name calling it to me. Shakire comes flying to me hilt first, when it lands in my hand, I grip the hilt that fits in my hand as perfectly as a sword can. “Shakire, white fire slash.” I say. Shakire’s blade becomes engulfed in white flames, I slash shakire at on the rocks the edge of the waterfall that wouldn’t cause any actual damage to this place. The white flame from shakire cuts right through the rock like it was nothing. The rock falls into the water making a huge wall of water come towards me. “SHIT!!!” I say as the wall of water hit me. After the wall of water washes me back onto shore I put shakire back in it sheath. “Well, that was fun I guess.” I say to myself. I dive back down into the water to see if the rock had blocked off the entrance of the cave that was down there, I see that the rock had done its job and blocked it off just like I was hoping for I look at where the rock is and wonder how long that hole was there, (it’s not like it could just appear out of thin air, right?) I ask in my head. I quickly swim back up to the surface, I breach the surface and take a nice deep breath of fresh air. “Man, I hope that thing stays blocks for a little while, at least long enough for me to get stronger and maybe try get someone help me take on that whole cave. Damn I don’t even know how big that place is.” I say to myself still thinking I was the only one here. Little did I know I was being watched the whole time I was doing what I was doing. I climb onto the shore of the lake and just sit there staring at the waterfall lost in thought. (Man, Anderson loved this place, I can’t believe I haven’t been here of ten years, it’s hard to believe.) *I let out a sigh of sadness* “Anderson you asshole leaving an 8 year old all alone like that, what the hell were you thinking I’m not mad at you but you could have told me to run or something so I didn’t have to see you die right in front of me that’s what I don’t understand the most why you attacked it knowing there was a huge chance of death.” I say to myself as if he was here. “Sometimes I wish I was stronger back then maybe you and sis would still be alive to day, you never did tell me about sis like you said you lucky bastard got out of it because you FUCKING DIED!” I say the last part with so much hate and venom that it could cut through metal. “God, now I’m starting to talk to myself as if he’s still here. I must be fucking losing it, but it would be nice to talk to him once again even if it’s just for a few minutes.” I say to myself looking down at my reflexion in the water. “I don’t even remember what my parents look like, I don’t even know if I look like them.” I say laying down on the rock and close my eyes. A few minutes later I’m fast asleep. As I’m asleep I see my brother, he looks at me and smiles. “Hey, bro.” He says happily. *I walk up to him and punch him right in the gut.* “Don’t hey bro me, you fucking asshole!” I say with frustration in my voice. “I guess I do deserve that.” He says. “But, I told you on your 18 birthday I would tell you about our sister.” He says. “Finally.” I say. “Our sister was a badass she was the best hunter out there, it’s because of us that she died. She was trying to protect the two of us.” He starts. “We were all going to die, but you, somehow made a ball of fire at the age of 5 it wasn’t strong but it was strong enough to kill the monster that was attacking our sister, the other monsters ran because they watched you destroy their leader right in front of them as if he was nothing. She died later that night from her wounds.” He tells me. “But that’s enough for now, we’ll talk again I promise and I might bring someone else with me next time.” He says before disappearing. “Wait, damn he’s gone I wanted to ask him her name.” I say to myself. “Well, at least I got to learn a little bit about my sister.” I say happily. “I wonder what she was like.” I say to myself still in the dream void. Well I probably should be waking up soon, well at least I better be, the waterfront isn’t safe at night. Well at least the woods around it isn’t safe at night the lake is, some what safer at night then the woods are. “Well let’s see what the hell can I do in this strange place?” I say to myself. I open my hand and try to make a fireball in my hand. I keep trying this for probably 20 minutes with nothing happen. “Damn, I still can’t actually control fire yet how am I supposed to protect people if I still can’t make a fucking, fireball?” I ask myself. I try again to make a fireball. After another 15 minutes I start to feel tired again. “How am I getting tired if I’m a sleep right now?” I ask myself.
