A hidden survival

Chapter 13

"Save us... Someone..." A voice reached Akane's ears. She sped up towards a dark alley where she saw a little boy and girl hugging each other next to two adult corpses, throats slit as blood spread slowly on the floor. A man was cornering them, hands holding onto a pocket knife. "You're a witch aren't you? Little one."

Akane shouted across, "Stop, don't hurt those children!" The man turned and smirked, "Young lady, what can you do?" Akane steps forward, "Why are you killing them? There is no evidence they are witches." The man chuckled, "I kill first and know later." Akane frowned in disgust as she let out, "Monster." The man reacted angrily, "What?! You little..." He raised his hands and tried to slap her but could not, there was something restricting him, he froze on the spot. Akane's eyes glowed red as she chanted, "gran la sleep." The man immediately fell unconscious onto the floor. The boy looked up and said, "You're a witch! Help my sister please!" The little girl who was shivering and face stained with tears, her eyes seemed dead, there were no emotions. "Gran la sleep." Akane chanted again as she placed her hand on the girl's head.

"Follow me." Akane decided to bring the children back to the restaurant. She peered at the street, there were no one but bodies of women and young girls laying motionless on the floor. Akane looked away as something rises up her throat. It's exactly like the the burnt down village she left behind. She covers her mouth, preventing her trauma from revealing, tears from flowing. She took a deep breath. "Hold onto my hands and close your eyes." She pulled the boy along the pile of dead bodies while carrying the girl.

Someone grabbed onto her legs, "Save my child..." The woman mumbled, loud enough for Akane to hear. Akane knelt down by the woman, "Where's she?" The woman shifted her blood oozing body to reveal her unconscious daughter underneath. Akane bit her lips as something in her cracked, "What about you?" The woman smiled, "She needs to become a good witch, you can help with that right?" Akane silently nodded. The woman smiled and her breathing stopped. Akane let out a cry before biting her lips to restrict herself once again. "I'm sorry..." She moves her hand to close the woman's eyes. She rotates her wand in a circular movement and the toddler float up in mid air.

When she reached the restaurant, it was dead silence, tables were turned and chairs were flipped. Akane felt her body temperature shoots up as her heart beats harder, with cold sweat breaking out. She pulled the children along up the stairs and shouted, "Hana! Ryou!" No answers heard.

Please no...
