FM - February - What are you willing to risk it all for?
Lacey called me, telling me today was the big battle. Big battle? I didn’t realize she’d really meant there was gonna be a war when she told me they were training for it. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it was like, really real, but now here it was. They were going up against some pretty bad ass stuff from what she’d told me before. It was the whole reason they were on lockdown at that school. I didn’t understand the whole thing really, but apparently some guy who was somehow Tyler’s uncle killed some of the Slayers. Which means he must be pretty strong and possibly evil.
When she told me they could use my help, I didn’t hesitate. I told her I’d be there. It wasn’t about the magick or her saying I could use it. But with me there, I could know that she was okay. I could do whatever I could to make sure she was safe. Even if she was probably stronger than me. It’s a guy thing. I just wanted to make sure she made it through this. I would risk everything, even my own life to make sure of that.
As soon as she told me where to be and gave me directions, I hung up and started grabbing some clothes. I was dressed and out the door in a matter of minutes and heading downtown where Lacey told me to go. Traffic was crazy, all backed up and stuff, so I just parked where I could and started running the rest of the way. I didn’t know what the hell was going on…oh my God is that a dragon?
I stopped dead in my tracks and stared up at the sky with my eyes wide. It was. I didn’t even know they were real. Then again, I didn’t know a lot of things were real until the last few months. Shaking myself out of it, I ran on ahead and that’s when I saw it. Everyone fighting these….monsters. Demons I guess they were. I moved closer, my eyes scanning the chaos for any sign of my girlfriend. I didn’t see her. There was too much going on.
Everyone was fighting for their lives and since I was here to help, I started doing the same. The red flickered across my eyes before they turned solid black, no white left at all. I started using the magic bubbles as Lacey called them, shooting them at every demon that got in my way as I moved through the chaos. I had to find Lacey. Hey, my powers were pretty effective on these things. Everytime I’d hit one in the chest with one, it would send it flying through the air. This was fun. I can definitely see why this could be seductive. Why Caleb said you had to be careful. I could get used to doing this all the time.
One after another I sent flying, trying to block out the screams that would rise up from the battle. I still hadn’t seen Lacey, but these people were fighting for their lives. Even Tyler was here. I saw him for a brief minute, fighting too. Everyone was. I had no idea when Lacey said it was a war that it was seriously this intense. It felt like I was in a movie.
Hearing something behind me, I spun around with my hands held out, ready but I wasn’t fast enough. Something sliced across my stomach and I looked down to see the blood soaking through my shirt. Lifting my widened eyes in confusion, I met some angry yellow ones of the demon whose claws had just caused the damage just as he backhanded me and sent me flying through the air. I landed on the hood of a car, crashing back against the windshield and feeling the glass break with the weight of my body and head. I blinked, trying to focus as everything went blurry and then finally, dark.
