"Hope this will help you sleeps well," mutters Haider as he gently pulls the blanket over Kiera's shoulder. He held his gaze upon her slumber form before he moved away and sat across the room with his palm claps together under his chin.
He frowned as he look at the untouched food which he had laid on the table earlier on. Then his sight glimpse upon the empty syringe which was place upon the side table just few inches away from where Kiera's was laying.
"Please forgive me Kiera, I need to put you to sleep for now or else, you might do something more drastic than this.." he sighed in dismay. "I guess, I better get to town to get few supplies of food stuff before dawn touches in.." with those words, he rose on his feet and left, locking his home safely as he straddle upon his horse and ride away.
In town night market..
The night market was unusually less crowded today, thought Haider to himself as he amble along the vendors and stalls. He decides to buy some grains and dried meat when suddenly an outburst of commotion heats up.
A young man was ruthlessly flung right across his eyes. He looks like he has been beaten to such a heights of brutality.
"Arghh.." he snarled as he struggled to get on his feet, but he was kick again and again in such dreadful force.
"Those bastards again.." hissed Haider as he clutches his fists close to his sides.
The youth yelled faintly for mercy but his hands were crushed by the soldiers boots instead.
Haider slithered away from those dreaded scene as he hid behind one of the darkest corner of a building. In a swift notion, he slipped on his foxy Kitsune mask.
"Arghh.." cried the youth, but strangely this time his scream is more of a warning, an omen of something sinister is transcending. "I said, stop hurting me, or you will regret it.."
Haider, crept cautiously in between the buildings and he gasped in shock when he saw the youth is in a floating form, his body beams in rays of light. His eyes were close but his arms are moving..
The crowd including the soldiers begin to feel terrified as some form of menacing force begins to emerge from him..
Slowly he opened his eyes and with a smirk, he held his hand and pointed it to one of the soldiers. In a short drift, a flash of bright rays, like a lightning flash from that hand, strikes the soldier, killing him in an instant.
The others soldiers arm themselves with their weapons and begin to fire mercilessly at him but none of the bullets penetrated through him. Those bullets were burned to ashes instead and dispersed like rusted dust onto the ground.
"You are the cursed wizard.." boomed one of the soldiers as he drew out his sword instead and rushed madly at him.
However, his stepped was falter by an incoming dagger, blocking his steps just few feet away from the brightly youth.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you.." marks Haider as he came forward, placing his form in between the soldiers and the youth.
"Kitsune.." roared the soldier as he aim his weapon towards him instead and opened fire.
Haider immediately, pushed himself to the ground with his feet flexed directly against the soldier's lower torso, causing him to fall back onto the ground.
Haider quickly get a glimpse upon the youth who has closes his eyes, his bright rays has begun to fade and Haider could sense, that his life is weakening away. "I need to get us both out of here.."
Without second thoughts, he whistled and out came his horse running swiftly towards him. Upon that split notion, he jumped onto his horse, sweeping the youth in his arms and carefully placed him in front of him.
"Stay on lad..I've got you.." few bullets were strung towards them but miraculously, both Haider and the youth had managed to escape unharmed, much to the soldiers astonishment.
