Chapter 5-Second Encounter

After having an eventful morning like that, Ayame came by my house to pick me up.

 

Flash Back

 

DIng Dong!

 

I ran to get the doorbell fearing that one of the neighbors heard the commotion and came running over to see if everything's alright. I wonder who it is though. I don't think we made that much noise, but with the high level of magic used, someone could have easily detected us. The doorbell rang again.

 

Ding Dong!

 

"I'm coming!" I yelled as I quickened my pace. Finally! I reached the door within a matter of minutes and opened it. On the other side was Ayame, smiling as big as ever. I sighed. i'm exhausted and ran all the way to the door because I thought we was in trouble. Ayame looked at me with her big, round, blue eyes.

 

"First of all, Good morning Duran. Second, what happened to you?" she asked out of curiousity. I sighed and looked up at her. She was still wearing the outfit she was wearing yesterday. Come to think of it, she wears that outfit everyday. Maybe she has multiple of outfits like that or maybe she just likes that one and keeps wearing it over and over( and over and over and so on...) Whatever the case, I wouldn't ask her about it. Should I tell her what happened to me this morning. Maybe....but not here in this house.

 

"I'll explain later..." I said quietly then took her arm and ran her out the door. She looked up at me surprised, "Come on! Let's go aleady!" She smiled then followed right after me.

 

 

"Race ya!" she said as she started to take off. I ran right behind her. Just where is she running to? I started to speed up.

 

"Where to?" I panted trying to catch up. She turned her head for a second and kept runing.

 

"To school of course!" she said then ran even faster. I sighed, but kept runing. I really hate school. It just reminds me how much more of a weakling I am. Oh well...better keep runing.

 

End Flashback

 

We finally made it to school.

 

"Hah! I won slowpoke!" Ayame yelled triumphantly and started to do a victory dance. I wish she didn't do that. She's very pretty and if she continues to do that, it will attract some eyes. I stood and bent over, trying to catch me breath. She is really fast or maybe I'm just out of shape. I looked at her.

 

"Yeah...Yeah..." I gasped. She smiled then turned her back to me to face the school. Yes the enormous school. It's white was that looked like it has been here for a thousand years.Oh how I hated it. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the doors. I started to cry a little. Please! Don't make me go! I'd rather take my chances with Denae.....okay maybe not that.

 

"Well well. If it isn't the loser from yesterday." said a familiar voice. Ayame and I turned around to see Zephyr Wolf with his possy behind him. Ayame scowled and I frowned. We really didn't want to see this dude today. What did her come to do? Torture me to death? Ayame stepped in front of me, her hands on her sword.

 

"What do you want Zephyr?" Ayame growled, slowly getting herself ready for a fight. Zephyr flipped his long black and red hair before he spoke.

 

"Nothing with you my dear." he said then approached Ayame, she stood her ground. "Except maybe another date, since you ditched our last one." I stifled a laugh. I mean he was stood up by Ayame. That is funny. Ayame snickered and glared at him.

 

"Put them in their place Zephyr!" yelled one of his possy members. Ayame glared back at them.

 

"Yeah show them who's boss!" yelled another one. Zephyr chuckled and flipped his hair once more. I don't like where this is going. I better get Ayame out of here. I started to grab her arm, but she swatted it away. I stared at her confused. Why would she do that? Does she want to fight?

 

"Well I can't disapoint my fans now Ayame." he said boastingly, "So let us fight and see who is the true master!" Zephyr unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Ayame. Ayame chuckled.

 

"I've been waiting for this moment." she said then pulled out her sword. Ayame please don't do this! I pulled on her dress.

 

"Please don't do this.He's not worth it." I said sternly, but she wasn't hearing me. Ayame took off and started to charge at Zephyr. Zephyr did the same. "Noo!" I started to take my sword and charge right after her. I can't let her do this alone. Zephyr's so called fans cheered as the fight was about to begin. Zephyr and Ayme got close to each other, about to connect swords. This is going to be bad! Then in a flash of white light. A sword appeared blocking Ayame's attack and a hand black Zephyr's. I looke up to see who it was. All the cheering stopped. A girl with dark brown hair, wearing purple garments, a long dress with pants, was in the middle between Ayame and Zephyr. My eyes widened. It was the strongest person in Nerringuard, except for the king and queen. It was Shadow Alaric. Everyone admired her. Ayame and Zephyrs eyes widened.

 

"Mrs. Shadow....." Ayame hesitated. Shadow glared at the both of them then with a powerful force, she pushed them back causing Zephyr to fall on the ground in front of his fans and Ayame to fall in front of me. Wow she really is powerful....Oh wait Ayame! I put my sword away and bent down to help her. She moaned then stared back at Shadow. Shadow stood straight and tall in the middle of the floor. She glared at all of us.

 

　

"Fighting while not in training session is prohibited!" she yelled angrily at us. She turned to Zephyr, "You egotistic fool! You could have done some damage!" She turned to Ayame. "And you! I'm disappointed! You should know why you shouldn't being doing these types of things!" Ayame looked down ashamed. What does she mean by that? Ayame spoke.

 

"I'm sorry Ms. Shadow...." she said quietly. Shadow glared, then turned her head. She's suck a jerk, but I can't be mad at her for being upset.

 

"Whatever...Anyway today is a demonstration in the training room." she said with her arms folded, "You are all to report there pronto. No excuses." We all nodded our head and with that she left us and headed in the direction of the training room. Zephyr stood up and brushed himself off.

 

"Well my little flower, we couldn't have our match today..." he started then flipped his hair, "But we will have it soon.." With that he and his possy went towards the direction of the training room. I looked down at Ayame. Was she alright?

 

"Are you ok?" I asked concerned. Her head was still down, but she answered.

 

"Yeah..." she looked up at me then continued, "Lets go Duran." I smiled. She always bounces back. I helped her up off the floor and we headed in the direction of the training room.

 

In the training room

 

We all sat down together in chairs that were prepared for us in front of a large stage. Ayame and I along with Zephyr and Shadow sat in the front with a few others. Good fighters were allowed to sit in the front and were allowed to have one friend sit with them. Zephyr doesn't chose any. Shadow doesn't even have friends and Ayame chose me, thus I sit in the front. The demonstration was about to begin. The instructor stood forward and bowed.

 

"Welcome young fighters!" he yelled so everyone could hear him, "We will now start the fighting demonstration, so please be quiet." He walks to the side of the stage, revealing two fighters with wooden swords. "These fighters that you see here are Ophellia Adalayha and Pagan Asphodel. Please give them your respect and cooperation. Now let's begin!" Pagan and Ophelia stood away from each other and got themselves ready to fight. Then in a quick flash they charged at each other, but before the swords could connect, the lights went out. Is this part of the demonstration? Ayame and I looked around and so did the demonstrators.

 

"Ahhh! What is that?!" yelled someone. We all looked up. No....it can't be. White little floating lights were flying around us. No! It's the souls! I turned my head all around. If they're here....that must mean she's here. Ayame looked at me confused.

 

"What's wrong Duran?!" she asked frantically. I tried to calm her down. Don't want her to freak out.

 

"Nothing! It will be alright, I promise!" I yelled back so she could hear me over the crowd of screaming people. Ayame nodded her head.

 

"Oh my God! What is that?!" yelled someone else. I looked up. Oh no.....The souls are converging! They're going to create that thing.......an Ego....A bright white light appeared at the ceiling and exploded into a burst of colors, revealing a girl with long white hair in two ponytails a and a white dress. There it is an Ego. This is bad.

 

"Don't nobody move!" yelled a familiar voice. I looked around, but didn't see where it was coming from. Then all of a sudden, a flurry of feathers appeared atop of a column in the room, revealing her....Rue Desdemonna. So she is here. So now enters the main attraction. Enter Rue Desdemonna!

YEAH! Oh sorry, I got carried away in the story.

Nice job, you've gotten more descriptive. Now I know Ayame has blue eyes. Though when you heard Zephyr's voice you could've said what that sounds like.

I don't like him! Grrr, I wish Ayame has a chance to kick his butt! I love the conflict with him and her, and even though the reader knows who Ayame is, we don't quite know what her real secret is and Rue is here, yeah! Well done.

Oh yeah, by the way when you were describing what she wore and rambled about it, unless it's important, you shouldn't give the reader the attention of it.

Also, it wasn't neccesary to put a flashback in this. The flashback could've just happened and it would've been fine.

You have a few spelling errors like runing to running and on gramar, this sentence: i'm exhausted and ran all the way to the door because I thought we was in trouble. It should be like this I'm exhausted and ran all the way to the door because I thought we were in trouble. Actually, this sentence is unnecesary as well because you've already said previously about how anyone could have heard the commotion so the reader can infer that's why he was rushing.

When Ayame and Zephyr was about to fight, I actually yelled FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Lol, I'm silly. Anyways, the end with Rue definately pushes the reader on as in me. I want to know what she's gonna do so bad. Don't stop adding in the battles. I love them! Once again nice job, hope this review helps, if it doesn't ignore it:).
