New Life Chapter 7
The Death Of A Loved One
I looked around and saw everyone getting into groups of five so I grabbed Tony and we headed for Matt. "Sorry Jay, Tony has to stay here. If he comes along theres a chance that he could be captured and then thislittle get together would be for nothing." He said looking from Tony then to me.
"Alright, I understand, who's gonna be here to guard him?" I asked looking around.
"Chianna will guard him." He said looking over to a girl in the corner of the room.
"Chianna hasn't been with us that long are you sure she can take on a group of demons if the need arises?" I asked a little scared.
"She can make the strongest shields I've ever seen, don't worry about him."
I turned to Tony and looked him in the eye, "Tony, Love, its too dangerous out there, I need you to stay here with Chianna, she'll protect you while I can't. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but please come back fast ok?" I hugged him and walked out the door.
I was joined Matt's team. It was Matt, Azriel, Terra, James, and I. Az and I really hit it off when I first came to the school. The second day there I met Az, his sister Terra and his boyfriend James, I remember thinking, damn is everyone here gay? Anyways Az was 5'11 and 186 lbs, he had the basic boy next door look with his blonde hair and blue eyes, tight body and the sexy slant of his hips. His lips were so pink, I thought he was wearing lipstick. Now he was a powerful man. 6'4 230, he had the physique of a body builder. That day when I first met him, we started talking about everything imaginable and I became part of the gang. Once we graduated the school I only saw them on official meetings and the more important training exercises.
"Matt where is our target located, and why did we all split up?" I asked in the car.
"We've broken into groups to surround the nest, its better to surround the place instead of bum rushing the front door because if its laden with traps only a few die." He said driving faster.
"Oh...well...ok" I said sitting back against the seat.
About thirty minutes later, we had made our way to the center of the old city, about ten years ago there were fires that all but gutted every building in the downtown area, instead of rebuilding in the original area, the construction crews were told to start building miles away from the original city, anyways it is here in the old city where we believed the demons were held up in the only building that hadn't fallen yet. We pulled over to the side of the street and got out.It was the middle of the night and it was hard to see. There was enough light tho to see all the dark ash still on the ground from the great fire.
"Whewy, when's the maid get here hehe" James said looking around.
"Be alert James, this isn't a great place to fool around, everyone who comes out here is never seen again or they come back completely scared out of their minds." Matt said looking around and clutching his spell book.
"Look Matt don't be so drastic, they're just a few demons, we've been fighting them for years. Remember that war demon I took care of in my third year at the school?" James said looking over at him with a huge grin on his face. He was a real looker, it surprised me that he and Az had been going out for so long, but at the same time Az would have been a fool to let him go. He was only 6' but he was so muscular and his blue eyes made the sky look grey, the black hair that grew down to his butt gave him an exotic look, his skin was lightly tanned and was the color of gold. He was a looker. I watched as he walked around looking into the nooks and crannies of the fallen building we stopped by.
"It seems like they were expecting us and left." He said as he looked into the sky and smiled.
"They must have heard I was coming" he said and laughed a loud and strong laugh that seemed to go on forever.
"Sorry hun but you were wrong, the talisman shows that they are here but are hiding." Az said looking at a map he had laid out.
"One of them, a BIG one is on the move towards us, I think we should get ready for the fight to begin." He said getting up and readying a firespell.
"Brother, I think this area has seen enough fire, try using a wind spell, if you do then we can blind the monster and keep ourselves from being seen." Terra spoke up from behind us all.
"I guess that makes sense. Ok...there it is!" he tried to whisper as loudly as possible.
I called out to the night to blanket us in her shadows, Terra called on the moon to give us light that only we could see. Matt opened his book and used a communication spell to let everyone know that we were getting into our first fight. The demon came closer and closer we weren't to move or fight unless it couldn't be helped. The demon bumped around unknowing until a gust of wind carried our scent to him. He reared back and in the magickal light I saw him, his skin was a sickly green and yellow it spread over most of his body, there were spines on the top of his twisted and gnarled head, they grew all the way down his back. He had two arms at the end of these arms were talons connected by only a small amount of skin and muscle, its underside was covered in putrid brown scales, they looked like they were secreting some kind of liquid. His legs...if you could call them that, were cloven hooves that clicked and clacked on the ask covered concrete.
His outburst so frightened everyone that James fired off a blast of fire, Az let go with his wind spell and the two mixed in a burning twister. We had just enough time to get away before the Demon caught hold of us.
"SODRATELL!" I blasted him with a spell of frost and froze his hooves in place.
"TIRENTIA!" Terra came around and launched a cutting wind attack at the demon and split it right down the middle.
"Good Job everyone, lets head further in and..." Matt's words were cut short as a razor sharp claw ripped through the front of him. In our haste we had not noticed that another demon had come along and was waiting for us to turn our backs.
"GRESHINDARATEL!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lunges. A portal opened up behind the new demon and pulled him in.
"MATT HANG ON MATT PLEASE!!!" I screamed running forward joined by the others.
"Oh goddess do not take this your child, his work is not done. Let your power join with mine and may I heal his wounds. VITAMIL!" I yelled. It was in vain. Matt died before I even reached him.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I looked into the sky and blew up, I sent as many homing fireballs as I could muster into the air around me, everyone else got down as the place seemed to explode all around us.
"Whats going on????" It was a telepathic call from one of the other groups asking what was going on, I told him to alert all the other grous to get back to Matt's house.
With that I wrapped every one in my group in darkness and teleported back to the house.
"Tony?" I called before the darkness had dropped. Then my eyes were filled with the sights of blood smeared walls. I saw Chianna in the corner again. Her head was slumped to the side and blood trickled down her chin. She looked up and with words barely audible mumbled "They Got Tony." Before her head fell to the side once again and she was quiet.
