➳Dragoon➳ 

I watch in horror as Gluttony vanishes into thin air avoiding a fireball that has been shot out of Fye's mouth. I roll away so that the fireball hits the wall and not me. I find myself struggling to get to my feet using the wall for support. At first I think Gluttony has one of those super expensive teleports but then I see something behind Fye move. 

Invisibility shield. 

"Where are you?" Snarls Fye looking around in front of him.  

"Behind you!" I shout with all I can muster. It's  a bit too late as Gluttony reappears and slashes the scythe into Fye's shoulder sending blood squirting out of it. Fye howls in pain. Gluttony produces a dagger from his sleeve and jams it into the back of Fye's throat. Blood drips like a river. A giant devilish grin appears on Gluttony's face. 

The tears I have been holding back drip from my eyes. I watch as Fye falls to his knees, a smoke floats out of him as the monster he once was reverts to a human form. 

"How..." Fye manages to say as he falls face forward on the ground. A pool of blood appears around him.  

"Simple. We found your Achilles heel." Gluttony yanks the knife out of his throat. "As expected your not self healing this wound." He stares at the blood falling from Fye's neck.  "Any last words?"   

Fye holds his tongue. He defies to relay his final wish. Gluttony pulls the dagger back and slashes downward. I know where that blade is intended to hit. His heart.  

"NO!" I run in almost blinding speed as wind whips behind me.  A searing pain bursts over my chest but I refuse to focus on it. I crash right into Gluttony sending him flying backwards into a wall leaving a human sized crater.  

I am now standing between Fye and Gluttony. A surge of energy swelling in my body. I've never been this angry and scared in my entire life. I know a invisibility shield only works once. Gluttony steps out of his crater running straight at me. I hold my ground. Not saying I would die for a complete stranger, ie Fye. I just can't do nothing.  I raise my arms and use some more of my energy and using raw wind I push him back into the crater. Each surge of energy makes me feel weaker.  I don't know how long I can hold out but I will hold as long as I can.  

I peer down at Fye who is now starting to crawl off the floor and in a large puddle of his own blood. He looks pale. I can tell he's lost a lot of blood. One of two things catches my attention, one, his neck seems to be self healing, and two, he is staring at me and not Gluttony. 

"Just run!" Fye yells at me. I ignore him. I continue pushing out whatever energy that is surging in me. Then suddenly it feels as though I've been struck by a lightening bolt. I turn to look at Gluttony and I find myself falling over weakly on the ground.  

Before Fye can reach me Gluttony is holding me up in the air by my neck. The hands begin to squeeze. It feels harder for me to draw breath. "Why...?" I find myself asking staring into his enraged eyes. 

"Why you ask..." Gluttony pause allowing me a moment to breathe. "It is my job." His face flashes back into a cunning smirk. "Now, Fye how would you like this b***h to die?" He turns to look at Fye. "Slowly or painfully?" There is glee in his face.  I don't! I want to scream. 

"Don't." Fye demands pissed off. 

He only squeezes harder. I am coughing for air. Then Fye charges at us. He rips Gluttony off of me. I sink to the ground. Suddenly, smoke swirls around Fye. His wings sprout out of his back again. His back to me anger boiling his blood. All the rage inside him is directed at Gluttony. Then smell burning and I realize that Fye's sending fire right into Gluttony's face. I look away haunted by the screams coming from the man who was just about to kill me. I look up only when the heat of the fire recedes. Fye drops the burnt corpse on the ground.  He turns to look at me. He growls then flashes to his human form. 

His clothes are torn but so are mine. The small difference is his injuries heal themselves and mine don't I am finding it hard to keep breathing. I can feel a bruise forming on my neck. He scoops me up into his arms cradle style and opens up his holographic home screen. He presses a persons name "Sparrow". 

After three rings it picks up. "Fye, how can I help you?"  

"Gluttony is dead." He says simply then quickly snaps a picture of the corpse. "I have a witness here."  

"You'll have to bring her in." Sparrow says calmly. Has he seen this before?  

"She needs medical. Send a van." Fye demands, then hangs up the phone. "I'm sorry.. I am so sorry." Is all Fye says looking down at me. Then we stand in the alley in silence. I am feeling lucky to be alive.
