Ancient Evils, New Heros

Part 14

Ash and Christy rushed into the building. Time seemed to freeze as they processed what happened. Bryce was shot. The bullet went right through his appendix like butter and he hasn't even responded to the shot yet. Drake had his nose get bashed in and Alyssa was at the other end of a gun. Ash and Christy's rage boiled and overflowed. Ash lunged forward and punched the one who bashed Drake’s nose in. She then grabbed his knife and threw it. It flew past all the running and frantic people and right into the one who held Alyssa at gunpoint. The knife hit and dug into his hand. His hand jerked to the side and he fired the gun. The bullet flew right past Alyssa’s face, almost touching it. By the time Christy realized where Ash was, the bullet was already fired. Christy lunged at the man who shot Bryce. She punched him in the gut and knocked the wind out of him. She then threw him into one of the machines. She then raced to Bryce.

“Oh my God, no!” He was holding where he was shot. “Bryce… no! You're not going to die!” She placed her hands over the wound. She started to heal it. “Please don't say anything about this.”

“I-i w-won’t.” He stayed quiet. Ash was furious. Her eyes changed to an electric blue and she was beating everyone. She broke the arm of someone who tried to stab her and then she threw him into someone else. *BANG.* Someone fired a bullet at her. Ash simply moved her body to avoid it, it was like dodging a ball. She simply started walking towards him. He shot another bullet and she did the same thing. Everyone was looking at this point. Another bullet was fired and that was it. Something in Ash snapped as electricity exploded from her body. The electricity faded and everyone saw Ash. Ash wasn't in her normal clothes anymore. She was now in elegant white robes, her eyes were still the electric blue and her hair now had streaks of white and blue in it. She glared at the shooter.

“You… who do you think you are?” Power radiated through her voice. Her eyes were full of rage.

“Why sh-” She was in front of him instantly. She grabbed his throat and lifted him into the air.

“Who do you think you are?” She said again, even more power coming from her voice.

“I'm just someone trying to get money! My little girl needs money for treatment!” Ash studied him. She put him down.

“You’re not lying… what is her name?” He got up and stared at her.

“Why should I tell you?” He spat out.

“I can heal her myself. What's her name?” He looked hesitant.

“Her name is Delilah Swane.” He pulled a picture of her out of his wallet. “That's what she looks like.” Ash studied the picture. She had soft blue eyes and auburn colored hair. She had an innocent smile on her face. She looked at him. He had those same soft blue eyes and auburn colored hair. Ash held a hand up and a giant shockwave went off. Everyone soon went back to what they were doing, like nothing happened.

“Be grateful I'm doing this. I rid everyone of the memories of the event that transpired here. No one knows what you and your associates did today. Now all of you will leave. When you get to your daughter, she will be healed. I promise.” In a giant flash, she was gone. On the ground was a lightning bolt surrounded by a circle. The man stood there in awe. He soon ran out of the place.

Delilah was laying in a bed. She had Disney channel on and was watching Finding Nemo. She felt some wind blowing so she turned. She saw a figure in elegant white robes. The figure had electric blue eyes with white and blue streaks in her hair. Delilah was scared but fascinated at the same time.

“W-who are you?” The figure smiled.

“I'm someone who is here to help. Your daddy asked me to help.” She had a giant smile.
