A hidden survival

Chapter 54

"Akane..." Yu sighed. The witch turned and smiled in assurance. "Sorry..." Mika said apologetically. Akane shook her head and answered with, "come on, let's go!"

Shinoa squad was tied together. "Come on witch! Your friends are here!" Yu cursed, "damn it." Mika glanced at the leader, Elliot who was shouting for Akane to come out. Akane frowned as she tightens her fist, she was ready to open the window to jump down but Mika stopped her. "It's not a good idea. We won't be able to overcome them."

"I agree. Guren and Ferid are there." Yu stated. Akane throw a glare at them, "I can't have them hurt your friends, your family." She declared. "I won't!" Yu retorted.

A small knife stabbed onto the witch hunters' symbol. Everyone looked at the owner of the knife. A boy and two girls appeared. Akane's eyes widened as her heart began racing. No! She shout inside her. Immediately, she pushed open the window and jumped down to where Elliot is. "Akane!" Yu and Mika followed after her.

"Release them!" Akane demanded. The witch hunter laughed loudly. "Look who decided to show up. Look around you, the public despise you." He announced. Akane looked around and saw faces of disgust, hatred and anger thrown at her. Her heart faltered at their emotional offenses. Yu and Mika held onto her, "stay strong." Seiki stepped forward, "who says the public hates her?" Following behind him, was Sakura and Hana. Everyone glanced at the young children as they went towards the witch hunter.

Ryou appeared too. With all the other witches and witch guardians. Akane looked at all of them in amazement. How? "Everyone was thankful for what you did for them." Little Hana replied. Ryou smiled, "Hana would've been proud of how far you've come." Akane smiled tearfully. Her heart was touched by all these people.

"Ferid Bathory. Game's over, stop playing." Ryou said. Ferid smirked in satisfaction, "Ryouichi Kiriyama. Never thought I'd see you again." The vampire stood beside Akane and Mika, surprising the both of them as well as Yu. "Ferid, don't you want your resurrection machine?" Elliot asked in confusion even though his tone is obviously threatening. The noble vampire gave a doubtful face, "hmm... she'll hate me for hurting her student and supporting her killer anyway if she come back to life."

The witch hunter frowned in confusion. The vampires looked at Ferid and walked to stand beside the witches.

"Sakura Hana. You know who's she don't you?" Ryou asked. Elliot frowned at that name, of course he knows who she is. She has been the one that interrupted his plans all along. Thankfully he managed to burn down the village 2 years ago to destroy her.

Hana frowned, "you monster! You killed Akane's mentor so she wouldn't get in your way!" Akane looked at the girl before returning her gaze to the witch hunter in front of her, "you're really the one behind burning down the village?"
