Winterspell

Winterspell ( Juggernaut )

I think this explanation is long overdue so I'm gonna just put it there.

The ogittou have two things that put them in classes way above normal humans.

1. Activated soul-essence.

2. Extraordinary physical and mental abilities, Also called rise(mental) and burst(physical).

These two attributes when combined create the superhuman like humans called ogittou.

Soul essence have elemental attributes, for example Blitz who has the lightning element. There are some occasions though where an individual has a unique mastery of essence like Tsutchie who can nullify essence altogether.

This in no way makes them immortal and yes, if they are shot they'll probably die.

Alice...

Glass shattered spraying shards all over the room. Without thinking I dove at the ground and crawled as fast as I could towards Tsutchie.

"Why are they using guns?" I cried as new holes appeared in the wall casting shrapnel and dust every where.

"This isn't the time for an explanation." She yelled.

She was right this was a trap! The only thing she forgot to tell me was that they'd be using guns! I mean sure Tsutchie did mention how neutral clans resort to using weapons like guns for defense.

But clearly these guys aren't from neutral clans.

Tsutchie ducked through the door and into the passageway and soon after a guy fell at the doorway, dead.

"Alice come-on!" I went, crawling over the dead guy and through the doorway while bullets tore at the walls from out-side. Tsuchie held my hand and tugged me towards the stairs.

"Get down," she whispered letting go of my hand flipping the knife in her hand so that it pointed down when she held it in her grasp. Suddenly she dashed to the stairs and jumped!

I heard a startled cry cut short and something that sounded like a vase break.

And then a gun shot and another cry.

And silence. The person, who had was shooting at us from outside stopped as well.

I laid there, flat on my stomach.

The hell happened?

Did she do it?

"Tsuchie?" I whispered.

No answer.

Slowly I pulled closer to the to step and peer down.

She did it.

Two men in suits laid there on the ground not moving. Good I thought with relief and started getting up.

Only to see her Look at me from the corner of her eyes and mouth the words

<stay down>.

But the two guys were already out cold, what could she want to protect me from?

The shooter outside?

"Well, well." Said some one from the door way "this is quite troublesome."

It was obviously a man, but it was impossible to see from this angle.

Tsutchie turned, slowly.

Her ponytail coming undone.

"Don't move," the man said after something clicked. "Drop the knife and kick it away."

She stopped and did.

"You know I really wanted to avoid a war, but it seems the clan head is smarter than I'd predicted. She sent an ogittou brat instead of coming herself."

I could see Tsutchie bite her lip and her brows knit.

Maybe she was pissed that he called Vehretta a coward indirectly or because he called her a brat.

He sighed "doesn't matter anyway I don't really have any use for you and I don't need to kill Vehretta either, do you know why?" He asked.

"Because the girl hiding at the top of the stairs will do that for me." He said with a chuckle.

Me? Hell no! Why would I kill someone?

"As a matter of fact why don't you come down?" He asked.

I didn't move.

"Just as resilient as your mother but you know, you shouldn't be disobeying me," "after all I do have your mother." He said in a ridiculously calm manner.

(Mom....)

I could feel my pulse at my throat.

I took a deep breath.

<No> Tsutchie mouthed <run!>

What should I do?

If I run what would happen to Tsutchie?

I can't just leave her here!

Slowly I walked down the steps

until I was beside Tsutchie, the man wore a suit like the other men only his was grey. He had a disheveled appearance, his hair didn't appear to be combed nor was he shaved.

He didn't appear unkempt though, just really laid back.

The gun at his side shone a sharp silver reflecting the light from the open door.

"Sorry," I said to Tsutchie.

"Look taking your mother wasn't personal ok?" The man offered "just business."

"And you want me to kill for you?" I asked.

"Heavens no!" He said with a chuckle "you won't have to do a thing." "Just follow the instructions on the note," He said.

And with that he raised his gun.
