After we have dumped the corpse of a Dark Beast, still some time could not recover from what just happened. Not even me.
It... it Was awful... I felt so helpless. It seemed to me that my whole life flashed before my eyes!
- Christina, how are you? asked Isel, coming to me as I slowly retreated from the shock. - Injured?
- No. - I shook my head, feeling a little depressed, and then looking in the back of the Rock, which was going to leave us: - Um... Rock...
I quietly called to him. He stopped and looked at me.
- Um... Thank you... For your help... - sheepishly I thanked him. Even though we never talked after our first meeting, but that doesn't mean I'll just be quiet after what he did for me. - Looks like I owe you...
- I don't need anything from you. Coldly said Rock, turning back to me and away, away, and I remained standing stupor. Do you need anything? Strange, I thought, he saved me for a purpose. Why then at this moment I felt so stupid and humiliated...
And the quiet laughter of some of the animals began to direct proof.
But, Isel so they looked up, they instantly shut up.
- He's always so cold, so don't take it to heart, comforted me, Izel. Important thing is you're right, Christine.
"Yeah," I nodded distantly, and hobbled in the direction of the school, as the reinforcement that was about to arrive, and the rest slowly sought to a safe place, i.e. school. And I do too.
Walking slowly and thinking about her, something pulled me to look at the killed by an unknown Dark beast and see what's on the ground injured... something silver flows out. What...?! And it's Hunter Weapons? And is it possible that Weapons can kill a dark beast with a single blow? Or the monster on the contrary, were so weak? No... I think something's wrong here! But most of all, I concerned about why he tried to attack me?
Involuntarily I remembered how not so long ago, in that alley, I was attacked by those bad guys. They also wanted to kill me... But why?
Since then, I have found my new family, hunted like a Dark beast, and the target is me, but neither of those creatures.
Could this be due to the fact that I became part of the brown family? Or...?
"Burn see? I'm telling you, it's her."
I remembered these words, and if not animal form, I would touch his hateful mark on his face. And so... I just strongly frowned from a crazy thoughts about this.
Briefly hearing the flapping of wings and on my head sat Mr. Phil as if it was something normal and he almost every day does that. Surprisingly, I didn't feel the gravity from it.
"Scared?" he asked me quietly so only I heard him.
Yes. I replied, fearing that if the nod, he will surely fall. - It was so... Unexpected...
"I understand," nodded Mr. Phil, and then, after a pause, he asked: - what do you think now, little wolf?
- How weak I am now, - I replied honestly. This time we were lucky, that someone else, let the Hunter have helped us, but... What if next time we don't get lucky right? And I'm the weakest in the group. I have no strength to resist these creatures.
- Hmm... Well maybe I could argue with you on that. - spoke to Mr. Phil and leaned down so that our eyes were opposite each other. I looked at him. But until I'm. You really is very weak. True... I Think for a while.
- What are you? - I'm interested stared at him.
- You will learn about this later, chuckled Mr. Phil, and then thinking a little said: - But you know, I could help you, to take the first step toward their real power. Hmm... If you had the choice, what would you chose: power of the Beast or the Weapon?
