Am I Human?

Chapter 26

I took out my dagger and threw then against the wall , I'm higher than the other. Then running up them and squatting on the last on. I do hope their strong enough to hold my weight. My dagger ended up slipping out of the wall, causing me almost fall. Almost.

I jumped off, pulling my dagger out of my pocket and did a back flip, slicing the air. I was trying a new move in the arena. Ryder and Jay were both busy, I think they said something about flying pigs race. Eh, whatever.

"I didn't expect you to be here,"

I jumped, turning around to find Zac. All armored up and holding his sword, I guess he was gonna do some practices. He chuckled at my surprise face and apologized.

"If you want to throw it hard enough to stick on the wall but easy to pull out.. " he took the dagger from my pocket and dropped his weapon, standing at a different position and threw my dagger. It embedded into the spot my dagger had left after I failed on sitting on it.

He then ran towards the wall and jumped up my daggers, one by one, just like climbing a normal staircase, reaching the highest. He balanced on the last dagger and didn't fall. It managed to stay in place. Woah, his better then I thought. "I use to work with daggers and knives but changed to swords." he explained, "I guess my moves are still fresh." he jumped down and did a back flip, pulling out the dagger easily.

He casually retrieved all my daggers and handed them to me.

"You try"

I copied moves, aimed and let the dagger fly. I ran over and jumped on each dagger, squating km the last, hoping it. wouldn't fall.

Zac brought out a dummy and place it infront of me, "Slice it's head off." As a natural, I jumped down and swing my dagger, cutting it's head off.

"Thanks, Zac," I said as I pulled my dagger out of the wall. I walked out of the arena and went to find the boys.

I hurried back into my room and closed the door behind me. Taking off my belt and threw it on my couch.

Seline had already recovered from her injuries and had been discharged this morning. That's the reason why I went training this morning and didn't stayed in the castle, didn't want to get my blood boiling. Thinking about her already got me angry.

I was taking a nice shower until someone or something interrupted my shower time. I heard a crash out in my room and quickly got out if the showers, wearing a new set of clothes, I ran out of the bathroom to see what was going on. I could still feel the drops of icy cold water from my hair running down my back as I didn't had time to dry my hair.

A flying pig crashed through my window, causing shards of glass to spread everywhere. Out of all the rooms in the castle, why mine?The pig got up, injured, and headed towards the window. Its wings were perfectly fine but I think he injured his legs or something. It flew out and continued whatever it was doing.

I saw Jay riding another pig, flying right beside my window.

"What the shit, Jay? I was-"

"I swear it wasn't my fault." he cut me off, "We were just having a race and I think it was Ryan that threw your apple near your room and.."

I sighed and walked towards my broken window, trying to avoid the broken shards. The sunlight shone on them, making them reflect the light. To be honest, they didn't looked that bad for something that is broken. I looked out and saw a crows of boys flying around with the pigs. And of course, Ryder was there.

I got to changed rooms as they repaired the window. The maids were rushing in and out for brooms and sweepers and I could see two eyes boring into me. Who else had does type of sharp eyes?

I carried my stuff and settled into a different room, far away from the training ground where they held the flying pig race. The room was a bit like my old room but now the dressing table was right next to the door that led to the toilet. They view from here was muchore peaceful and quite.

I unpack my stuff, which wasn't a lot since the only thing I brought from the human world was my clothes I wore on that day and my phone. I jumped on my new bed, trying to make myself comfortable, slowly dozing off.

About a few hours to evening, I was awoken by the loud, incessant noise decides to interrupt my sleep. I sat up grumpily, always hated if someone or something had interrupted my sleep.

With a yawn, I stumbled out if my room and stepped into the hallway just as Jay was running towards me.

"What the hell? Is it a fire drill?" I asked in an irritated voice, still half awake.

"Dude, Cheshire Cat has attacked half of Qew, half of the city has evacuated."

I was still trying to register the information, "What the hell is Qew?" I asked.

"Earth to Ashley, Qew is the capital of the World of Xtras." Jay explained as he waved his hand in front of my face.

Wait. Cheshire Cat has attacked half of the city? My eyes shot opened by the sudden emergency. I wasn't prepared for this!

"All of us aren't." I heard Ryder said from behind, "Now hurry get your belt, we're gonna save Qew and the world."

We ran out of the castle and into the town. Many people were hurrying around carrying their belongings and important things to the forest, just as the king ordered. Villagers panicking and running around, searching for their family members. I noticed a familiar figure, limping, it was the same woman that left her child in the cafe. She shouted and called her daughter's name, again and again. I wanted to help her, but I had my own wars to fight. The further we walked into town, the worse the condition of it got.

"Man, this is as messy as my room... " Jay broke the silence.I couldn't help holding my laughter back. Ryder glared at us and soon, our laughter got swallowed by the sseriousness and soon, all I could hear was our footsteps and cries of the people who got left behind.
