NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 6

The next day, a newspaper was thrown at the carpet in front of the house. Aunt Sally opened the door and picked up the paper and went inside. She opens the newspaper as she sits down with Damian as they both have their breakfast.

Damian, on the other hand, had a phone in hand and saw a post about what happened yesterday.

"Better put down your phone and finish your food, Damian." his aunt told him

He puts down his phone and ate the last portion of his breakfast. He then places his plate in the sink, grabs his backpack and just before he was about to leave, his aunt calls him

"Can you take out the trash, please?" she asked

"Sure," Damian replied as he heads back in the kitchen and removing the plastic bag from the bin and taking it outside. He then went out and rode his bike to school.

On the way, his medallion began to glow and the blue bird got out of it and is flying beside him.

"What is it this time?" Damian asked

"Neon Night Phoenix." the bluebird muttered

"Huh?" Damian wondered

"That is my name." the bluebird replied,

"Wait. Hold up. You remembered your name?"

"It seems so."

"Then don't mind me calling you Neon?"

"I don't see why not."

Damian trailed to a halt as he parked his bike on the racks and went inside the school. As he sat down in his seat, he could hear the whispers and murmurs of his classmates talking about the incident that happened the other day.

Then Zack sat beside him. "You alright, dude?" he asked

Damian nodded, "I'm fine."

"By the way, where were you during the incident?"

"I was hiding somewhere inside the building when it all happened."

"So, you managed to hide from all that trouble?" Zack said, "Have you ever tried to rescue us?"

"Even if I did, we'd probably end up held captive altogether." Damian replied, "Besides, I saw the entire thing. I couldn't see a way out of it."

"Well, you've got a point," Jeremy said as he walked up to the both of them. "But whoever showed up that time came at the right moment took out the creature."
