Friend? part 2

He stood up and held his face, now gushing with blood, "Errgh, y-you will pay for that Longfield!" He then stumbled as he ran off, with the rest of his gang following close behind.

Crowen's head turns toward Astraea, "Are you okay Astraea?"

She only nods and smiles, "Thank you, Crowen."

Crowen nodded and they walked out of the front doors of the school. They were met by the blinding light of the sun. Crowen let his eyes adjust to the light and looked around the campus. He saw the green grass and newly leafed trees move in the warm summer's breeze. The smell that came in summer was always the best for Crowen. The two walked in the direction of their homes. Most of the time when they walk, Astraea is very talkative, but this time she says nothing. They walk in silence until Akira made a loud purring like sound.

"Ooh... it looks like we have company~" Crowen's demon said smoothly. Crowen turned around to see what it was talking about. First thing that he saw was a semi large rock fly at him. Before it could hit him, a black veil covered him.

The demon's first thought was to protect Crowen. It played with the shadows to block the incoming rock that was thrown at him. The demon's un-solidy formed body shifted to take form as a messily large black cat.

"Miss Astraea, take Akira and run. This fight will get messy~" The demon said smoothly, but neither moved, "Miss I do not wish for you to get hurt, you have no fighting ability."

"But I don't want to leave you two!" She shouted. The demon growled under its breath as it's black veil faded.

"Crowen! Convince her to leave, now!" the demon yelled harshly.

"Astraea, I know you don't want to go, but the demon is right." Crowen spoke quickly as another rock was thrown at them.

The demon blocked it with more shadows 'this won't last much longer' it thought 'my powers are not are still resty''

"I will not leave you two!" she yelled back.

"Fine!" the demon yelled as shadows covered the blue haired girl, "Crowen I need more power"

He nodded and closed his eyes The demon could feel his power slowly replenish its energy.

Crowen gave his familiar some power. He soon felt weak, stopping, looked to where his familiar was, but the black cat was not there. In its place was the back of a female. She was quite tall, with long black hair, cat ears and split tail. Her outfit consisted of black jeans, and sneakers. I couldn't see the front of her. Her hair blocked anything past the top of her jeans.

"I haven't taken this form in centuries!" The tail moved back and forth and the ears twitched, "Now Crowen, I need you to rest. Just don't sleep yet."

Crowen was confused, then something clicked in his mind 'she took human form' he sat down next to the mass of shadows covering his friend.

"Oh and Crowen I should tell you my name," Crowen looked at the demon shocked, "It's Abyss."
