Damaged~ Broken Book 4

Flashback 4 (A)

I was up all night because the damn universe wouldn't shut up. When It finally did Lucas came saying it was time to go. Now I'm back in the mindscape, watching over the very people who I let think that I died. Ironic huh? Sarah was right though... I had to do it.

As Anxiety, it is my job to keep Thomas and his sides safe. Princey just took it upon himself to take it over the first time I had left. And even though I... ran again, I will not run my job. I am Anxiety, That's all I am now.

"A, we have movement." I looked over to see Logan coming out with Patton in hand. They looked like a mar... OH MY GOD, THEY ARE MARRIED! They both have wedding bands, how could I have missed... Right, they think I'm dead. I should have at least been there, even if it was way in the back. Wait if my dad got married, does that mean that Logan... really is the mom now? I couldn't help but laugh, remembering all the times Patton called Logan mom. "Why are you laughing?"

"No reason just remembered something funny." I looked back to find they had left but Roman was standing outside the doorway, looking in our direction. Please tell me he doesn't see us. Roman started walking out and I put my hand up to release some magic. The shadows stretched out and formed a wall, forming an illusion to allow us to go unseen.

"ROMAN!!!!" Deceit came running out of the Mind palace pissed off and scared.

"What? What's going on?"

"Your castle... They're attacking your castle." Roman and Deceit ran back through the mind palace. This is it!

"Stay here!"  I put on my mask and jacket, running inside to help. Don't ask me why I wore a damn mask and shit. I'm a member of a secret guild of people created to combat the Onyx... Basically am a damn spy. Not as good as Deceit but whatever. I got to Roman's room when I heard yelling. I jumped up above the door, turning my nails into claws and latching myself to the wall, just as Roman burst through sword on hand.

"Fucking Assholes, burning down my Castle like they have the right. That's my home!" He kept on running, as people came out. People came out of all the rooms but mine. I held my hand out and the shadows attached themselves to my bedroom door until it fully disappeared, severing the connection between my home and the mind palace. It was the second time I've done that. 

As someone stepped right below me, I jumped down on top of them. I latched my legs around his neck and twisted myself around, launching the person back into the burning castle and landing on my knee.

"Well, that worked out better than expected." I took a deep breath as my anxiety picked back up. I got up and walked into Roman's room, breaking the door and severing the connection.

"What happened, I just lost your signature?" Lucas' voice rang through the earpiece as several Onyx members stared at me with malice.

"Nothing I'm just no longer connected to the Palace." One of the men came at me. I dunked and jumped, kicking my leg out and slamming their head against Romans dresser.

"You're WHAT?! How are you going to get back?" The guy got back up and swung at me as another person took out a gun. God damn weapons...

"Don't worry about me. Protect the charges."

"But..."

"Now L!" I yelled as I dodged out of the way of the gun pulling the other guy with me. I kicked up my feet causing him to fly into the one with the gun. The others helped them both up and they stood there staring at me. The realized they can't just fight me on on one.

"Ok A. Be safe." I pulled the earpiece out and stepped on it smashing it to pieces. I then held my hand out and watched as all the piece flew back into my hand. I then let my hand heat up until the pieces were practically melting. The fire raged on around us burning everything it touched. It had reached the room we were in and the onyx members began to look worried. I took a step, burning the floor as I did. 

"Who are you?" A woman from the group stepped forward, her eyes glowing. I guess Onyx isn't afraid to pin witches against witches. Pathetic psychos... "Why are protecting them?"

"It's my job." I pushed out my hand and molten pieces flew out, taking out two of the members behind her.

"They're responsible for all this chaos. Protecting them is nonsense. Come with us and you help make this world much better." Her British accent was getting on my nerves. It reminded me too much of Marcos. He was a smooth talker as well. I won't be making the same mistake again.

"No can do lady. I'm their... Guardian angel of sorts, and I take my job VERY seriously." She frowned and took a step forward. I followed suit.

"Then you will burn with them." What is this, Salem? Last time I check, we don't burn witches anymore. And If we did, you would be there too.

"Me...Burn? That's funny.."

"And why is that?" I just smiled and held my hands out to the side, raising them above my head before slamming them back down to my side, igniting my whole body. The fire around us raged even higher in response surrounding us all.

"Did I say, guarden angel? I meant Dragon!" I threw my arms out forcing the flames to burst forward, slamming into a shield that was just created. The women looked with hatred in her eyes before she retreated with the rest of her group. 

"This isn't over dragon... while you were here, who was protecting the Mindpalace? Who was protecting your friends."

"Don't worry about that, you can destroy their homes but you could never hurt them." The flames around me died down until it was just my hands burning. "Not unless you want to get burned..." I looked down at her arm and I smiled. "Again."
