I stared at my brother's face after he uttered my in game name. How did he know that? How did he even understand what it meant? There is something he is not telling me and I will find out sooner or later.
I turned my attention back to the remaining cyclops as I let out a slash of the Chaos Blade. The energy strike cut the ground beneath its path as it shot towards the mighty cyclops. The strike hit the cyclops in his chest opening up a large wound that poured golden blood. Yet he did not fall.
I turned my sword back into its hammer form as I prepared to rush the still standing cyclops. I used a burst of speed to close the distance between us almost instantly as I felt my energy drain further. I brought down the hammer on the cyclops's head smashing it into its body. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, lifeless.
As I straightened my stance the first cyclops came barreling through the trees and up the school driveway, straight towards me. It would seem that I have angered this cyclops. It may have become a slightly more difficult situation that I had first thought. I strengthened my legs when a shout brought me out of my focus.
"Kai!" Bailey shouted behind with worry filling her voice. Then nothing but silence. I quickly turned to see why she was shouting and then why she had suddenly kept quiet. As I turned my head three arrows made of energy shot passed my face towards the cyclops.
I quickly looked towards Bailey and found her standing there with her black iron wooden bow and a confused look on her face. Okay, this is strange, I thought to myself.
I turned back to find the cyclops with three protruding energy arrows sprouting from his chest as he began staggering towards me. I shifted my hammer into its spear form and shot forward.
Thrusting the spear upwards I aimed for the cyclops head, however, as if given a boost of speed. His club came around and knocked my spear off course. Using the power within the power strike I went with the flow as I twisted my body to the left as I brought the back of the spear along the ground. The spear successfully knocked the cyclops off balance as it fell to the ground with a loud thud. I jumped high into the sky as I used gravity to assist with my spear strike.
As I fell the spear lodged itself deep into the cyclops's chest, tearing apart its heart killing him instantly. I pulled the spear from the cyclops as stepped to the side of my fallen enemy. I looked at the three corpses using the vast amount of knowledge within my mind to determine how these three managed to come here.
I let my weapon disappear into the same golden mist as when it appeared. I turned to Bailey and found her staring at her bow. It was quite an odd sight. Having your graduation gown on, a confused expression upon your face, and then holding quite the elegant bow in your hands. It is not something one usually finds.
"Bailey, are you okay?" I asked concerned but with a chuckle. I couldn't help it but find this situation a little funny.
I watched as she looked up at me with a concerned look and then her gaze returned to her bow. She kept shaking the bow up and down as if trying to get it to disappear. Although she failed every time she tried.
"Help me." She pleaded with an adorable look on her face. It may sound mean but I found her worried face quite cute when she tried and failed to get the bow to go back.
"Okay." I said as I walked over to her. I took her bow from her as her eyes followed it. I closed the distance between us, causing her to both blush deeply and then quickly redirect her gaze to my face. I pulled her closer to me with my right hand as I leaned my head down. I could see her eyes close and her lips puff out a bit.
I smiled at her expectancy before leaning passed her face and towards her right ear. I took a deep breath and slowly blew onto her ear. I felt her shiver from the sensation as she pressed herself closer to me.
I chuckled softly as I pulled us apart. Her face flushed at my actions. I showed her my left hand and how the bow was no longer in it. She smiled softly as she quickly sent a glance to my lips. I wanted to so badly take her home and ravish her, but I knew other matters came first. I wanted to have her to myself after all the commotion was finished.
I turned to Vernon who had a look of relief on his face as he looked out over the three monster corpses that had now begin to shimmer a soft purple before disintegrating into ash. As if their entire bodies were simmering coals. The linings of the orange burn lines covered their bodies before ash overtook it.
I looked at my parents and saw their shocked and fearful expressions. Then I remembered, Amy followed us out of the hall, where did she go? I looked around the front of the school and found nothing. I couldn't see any trace of her being here.
I rushed into the school hoping to find her when a huge stench of fresh blood hit my nose. I followed the smell around the entire school building not finding the source. I burst through the doors to the graduation ceremony and to my surprise they were still finished up. How could they not smell it?
I rushed back through the school to the roof where I jumped off and I found nothing. Something was wrong here and I could not figure out what. I began to gain a sense of a great evil floating around the school and yet I was still unable to find the source of anything.
I was beginning to think that I lost my mind when suddenly I thought of a location I had yet to look through. I ran out of the back of the school building towards the football field behind. I ran into the storage room finding a scared Amy clutching her knees in the corner.
"Amy?" I said as I slowly approached her. Something had her scared and I am sure it wasn't the monster earlier. Amy kept her head against her knees not looking up.
I crouched beside her and pulled her into a hug. I felt that that was what she needed at the time. Something scared her so I should at least attempt to calm her.
She clutched her hands to my shirt and refused to let go. I ended up having to carry her form the storage room all the way to the front of the school where everyone was. I noticed Bailey getting a little angry at the sight but one stern look from me stopped her from voicing any of her complaints.
I held her tightly as Bailey came to inspect her. She seemed to care for the other girl even after her little spat. It was an odd situation but I was glad she could make some sort of peace.
Suddenly Amy disappeared from my arms. My arms shot up slightly at the absence of the weight. I stared at the empty spot between my arms in wonder as I tried to understand what had just happened. I heard Bailey shriek softly as she too saw Amy disappear from my grasp.
Then the smell of fresh blood rushed forth and covered the air surrounding me. Everywhere I turned I could smell the coppery metallic smell of someone's blood. With Bailey following close behind me as I slowly made my way through the school doors.
The smell of blood became more prominent. Bailey clutched the back of my suit jacket. I could feel her shake through her grasp. She was scared. I don't think she has ever smelled this much blood before and come to think of it, neither have I, but I seem to be fine with it.
I followed the strong stench of blood as I came to a stop in front of the school hall that was hosting the graduation ceremony. I stood staring at the doors hoping that I would not see what I thought I would. My thoughts just can't be real. There is no way this is real.
I slowly opened the doors as the smell of blood burst through my nostrils making me cringe. But what shocked me was the situation in front of me. The sheer carnage and bloodshed that lay before both Bailey and myself. It shook me to my very core.
Every single person within the hall previously now lay across the floor with some of their parts scattering elsewhere. The amount of blood covering the floor was astonishing. It seemed to cover the entire hall's surface area. It was far too much.
Chairs strewn across the floor as a sole person stood amongst the carnage. The person that was most likely the cause of this. A murderer of note.
I was shocked and stunned at the sight before me. It was something I had trouble wrapping my mind around. It was an aspect of the current situation that I did not want to believe. The truth shook me to my very core.
There in the middle of the hall with her body covered in blood. Still holding the throat of the principal with a large smile on her face.
But how is this possible? She was just in my arms.
