He stabbed the monster in the back with a sword. It shriveled in front of us and fell to the ground, but something told me it wasn't dead. The guy offered me his hand but I pushed it away and I stood up myself. As I brushed the dust off my dress I couldn't help but notice the fact he was staring at me,
Wow...
"Enough!" I told myself, I don't have time to think about boys.
I turned around to face the guy, he looked around the same age as me, 13, maybe a year older, and those eyes... I shook it off.
"State your business." I barked,
"Um, I came to help you" he answered with a blush, my disguise had really done something,
"I didn't need help" I responded.
" You were about to die" He debated back. He did have a point there though, can't argue with that. "Also," He continued "I think you need to learn how to use a weapon."
"Wait," I said, "So you haven't told me who you are or what your name is, but you already want to teach me how to stab things?" I complained.
"My name is Austin" he said "And I am a spell-caster like you."
"What's a spell-caster?" I asked
"How could you not know?" Austin wondered " I guess you're new, that's why you didn't try to kill Kleta"
"Wait, Kleta? Was that the weird spidey monster?"
"Yes, that was the weird 'spidey monster'."
"Anyway, do you want to learn how to use a sword?" He offered,
"Well... Okay." I replied, so he grabbed both my hands and wrapped them around hilt of his sword, he moves me backwards and puts the sword to my side then stabs forward, "That is countering the attack, you move the opposing person's blade to the side when they thrust or stab and then use your own blade to thrust back at them when you move forward. Try it on me" So he thrust his sword out at me and I countered it and thrust, he jumped back in surprise, "How did you do that?" he squeaked
"I did what you told me to?" I replied "No, you used a lot more power, as if you've used a sword before."
"Probably just fast learner." Austin began to speak again but I shushed him, "If that was all you wanted you can go now."
"No, to help you, you seem to get in a lot of trouble." Austin said,
"For god's sake Austin, I just met you and now you want to help me? I'm not making another tent!" I yelled back "Oh but I'll make my own" He conjured a deep blue tent with a wand "You know, there's lots you need to learn about who you are."
