Mark of a warrior

chapter 3

After setting up the lights and connecting all the speakers we set out all the drinks and food in the kitchen. We walked upstairs and put on our dresses and make-up, i went for my usual look black eye shadow, dark, red lipstick, and mascara. I wouldn't exactly call myself an emo or goth but i kinda look like one.  I hadn't showed Eve the feather yet so after a few minutes of deciding i finally grabbed the feather.

"Hey Eve have you ever seen something like this?" i held out the feather.

"Woah, no i haven't, where did you get that?"

"Found it" I walked over to my laptop and opened the internet. I typed in white and gold bird and nothing came up. I typed in white feather with gold tip. Still nothing. Weird.

"For some weird reason there are no birds with feathers like these."

"Hmmm...well i g-" a knock at the door stopped her mid sentence "Wow, it's 7 already?"

We ran downstairs to get the door. After the first lot of people came they just kept coming and the party was in full swing. Everyone was dancing, talking and just having fun. Best night of my life. Through the massive crowd of people i thought i saw a man dressed all in black. Big, black boots, Black jeans and a massive black cloak with his hood up but under that he had a bare chest. I couldn't see his face but something about him intrigued me. It's nothing, Alexis, your drunk i told myself but he seemed too real.

He held out his hand and motioned me to follow him round the side of my house where no one was. I followed.

"Hello Lex" he said as he took off his hood. Underneath was a beautiful face but covered in scars. And his eyes, they were like looking into a dark cave. Just nothing. No white, just black.

"Um... hi but i prefer to be called Alexis, thank you very much"

"Strange. You never liked being called that"

"i've always been called Alexis, never 'Lex' just Alexis"

"Anyway that's not what I'm here for..." He started walking towards me as he pulled out a sword from under his cloak. My eyes widened in horror as i started backing away. My back hit the wall and i couldn't move and he was metres away from me. I held up my arms over my head and crouched down when i shouted: "Stay away from me!" That's when it happened. A sudden surge of power went through my veins sending shivers all over my body starting from my chest and flowing though my body into my hands. A blinding light exploded from my hands throwing him backwards. I stayed in that position not even thinking about what just happened.

People from the party started to run round the corner to see what the hell just happened. They all stopped when they saw me in a corner and the man on the floor with a sword next to him. He got up suddenly then and started running towards me. I tried to get that same thing to happen again and felt the shivers go over my body again as i sent the light at him a second time. This time the people from eh party ran away, scared of what the had just experienced. When he got up he ran at me again and this time i was too tired and scared to do anything.

When he was only about 2 metres away from me and i had accepted i would die, another man appeared behind him and at lightning speed grabbed the man from behind. He picked him up and threw him against the wall with such force that he went straight through it. I stood up to see what was happening just in time to see the man who just saved me plunge his sword straight into the other mans heart. Instead of him just dying, his body started to turn to black smoke as it disappeared.

My savior stood up and faced a petrified me. He was wearing the exact same clothes as the other one but when he took his hood down he was completely different. I guess i was expecting to see the same scarred face as the man who tried to murder me but instead i was shocked by seeing the most beautiful face i have ever seen. His face was perfect he had the same neon blue eyes as me and sort of long, black  hair that covered one eye. He was beautiful.

As he stared at me his eyes flashed gold and everything started to go black as i fell to the ground.
