Hunter or Prey?

Chapter 23

"How did this happen?! I thought we had the ears and feel covered by Darkness and you're always alert!" I exclaimed still completely dumbfounded that someone snuck up on us.

"She had her ways around us. We've gotten more information about her as well." She tried to calmly explain. "Call a meeting Mara."

"Alright." I grumbled an focused. I could move the cells in a circle like formation so that we could have a conference about some discussions about activities. I felt wind rush meaning the cells moved. When I stopped feeling the breeze I relaxed and put my hands on my knees breathing kinda heavy with a sweat dropping from my brow. It always drained my energy. I sat in the center of the circle.

"Is this about the girl who beat Air?" Light asked curious.

"HEY! YOU LITTLE PUNK! I LET HER WIN!" Air shouted with a anime vein, her teeth sharp from rage, and her fist clenched.

"Oh really? We could see the whole thing and it looked like you got beat fair and square." Water teased noticing the easiest way to push Air's nerves.

Air looked at her obviously furious and was about to shout something to her when Earth disrupted her.

"Enough about the fight! We need to list the facts and things we know about Maleena."

"Thank you Earth. Now then what have we found out about Maleena?" Fire asked.

"It's a girl." Metal said in her sarcastically obvious tone.

"She probably lives here." Light said with her hands behind her back.

"Shes against Mara." Earth stated.

"I thought you said you got new information...." I mumbled.

"We did. We found out shes had minions who would help her find new things out about you.... It's been happening for about 4 years..." Darkness responded back to me.
My eyes widened when I heard her. 4 years? That means just people I meet on the block could be against me. What am I going to do?

I got sucked into the real world. Dad was shaking me violently.

"Stop it old man!" I yelled. He stopped.

"You were pasted out!" He yelled back.

"That was just my nen. And I was about to find something else out, but when someone shakes my body when I'm in the cells then I come back to the real world."

"What?" He asked confused.

"I have different versions of myself in my mind that I can release. Sometimes I go in my mind and they tell me information." I explained to him with my legs barely touching the floor.

"Jeez you almost gave me a heart attack. Don't do that without warning me next time."

"At your age your appetite gives you a heart attack." I told him swinging off my bed.

"I'm not that old!" He yelled and followed me out of my temporary room. I sighed and put my hands where my headphones were suppose to be, but they weren't there.

"WHERE ARE MY HEADPHONES?!" I screamed to where the whole building could hear. I ran back in my room to not see them there. I ran back out and ran everywhere in the building. I couldn't find them anywhere! I sat on a floor shocked they weren't anywhere to be found. I felt tears run down my face. Those were the headphones I've had since I was a little girl.... Now there gone....

"Mara those were just headphones." Mr. Bean said trying to calm me down.

"Their the only thing I've had to show for my childhood. It's the one thing Ging gave me..." I mumbled pulling my knees to my chest.

I don't know how long I sat there. Minutes, seconds, hours. I finally stood up to see Ging come towards me. He walked me to the conference room. I sat there letting everyone talk. I couldn't hear what they were saying. I didn't even look up to see who I was next to.

I did hear one thing. Something zooming through the air closer and closer to me. I released a lock for Earth and move a tree to blocked the object as a window shattered.
I then jumped and released the rest of Earth running to the window and leaping out. Not before grabbing the knife that was stuck in the tree and making the tree disappear. I landed on the ground allowing Earth to do what she wants.

I saw a couple people this time instead of just one. None of them was the girl from before. Two guys and two girls.

Time skip cuz I'm too lazy to wrote the fight scene Srry

I put Earth back when we finally won. I collapsed to the ground with small cuts along my arms and legs. A jab was in my right foot even though my shoe was fine. Earth didn't wear shoes remember?

"What happened?"
"I don't know she fell from a window."
"She looks different now though."
"Do you think she just saved us?"

I heard people around me talk to each other. My mind was still blank from the shock of loosing something so previous to me. I felt myself be lifted up. I have to say though... beating those people was a good stress reliever.

I couldn't bring myself to do anything. My eyes became heavy as I drifted off to a dreamless sleep not knowing what the days to come would bring me
