Gifted

When Luke decided that I had enough blood to drink, he moved his hand away and stepped back. He commanded his men to release me. I dropped to the floor and heave out a breath. Then I started to choke and cough hard, my throat felt like their burning but my mouth kept watering. My eyes stings as I began to tear up.

"It's just a matter of time, June" Luke said, looking so smug that there's nothing more I want to do than to punch his perfect face right now. What's gotten into Luke's head? and is blood suppose to taste like this? It felt like acid in my throat!

After a while I calmed down and thought that it was done, I was so wrong! A sharp and excruciating pain zap through my c.h.e.s.t like my heart's being crushed... Literally. I clutch my c.h.e.s.t and cried out in pain. And if that wasn't pain enough, a searing pain coursed through my upper back. I roll over the floor, crying and screaming my lungs out in pain and tears started to stream down my face but no one seemed to mind. I can't concentrate on anything but the pain that's coursing through my body.

Time passed, I don't know how long but the pain just kept getting worst. Now I felt like my whole body's on fire.

"This shouldn't take long! What's the matter with him?" Luke demanded out.

"I don't know, you tell me?" I wanted to say so badly, but so much pain took away my ability to speak.

"Check on him." Luke commanded one of his men.

The same guy who was holding me a while ago, approached me. But before he could reach me, another scream of pain came out of me. The next thing I knew the guy bursts in flame, and not just any other flame but Golden Flame. The flames were so beautiful that for a moment I forgot about the pain at all, I was just fixated on it. Everybody stepped back and away from the guy as he thrashed around screaming, then he disintegrated and the pain came flooding back ten times stronger.

The shock on Luke's face is hysterical, It's like he can't comprehend what just happened. He kept looking back and fort, at me and where the guy used to stand before he disintegrated. He started to pace, muttering to himself. Then realization kicks in.

"You're one of them." He said barely audible, as if he can't believe what he just said.

One of who? What is he saying? I don't even know what's happening?!

As the realization sinks in, something in Luke changed. His eyes now are filled with.... as what I can see, Hate. I screamed again, but this time Luke spread out his left hand in front of him and clenched his fist making my mouth shut, making my screams muffled.

"Hold him up!" Luke commanded. Everyone was hesitant, not wanting to get burned like the other guy who approached me a while ago.

When no one stepped up, Luke roared "HOLD HIM UP!"

Two guys stepped up but this time they didn't burn like the other guy. They each held one of my arms while I'm still clutching my c.h.e.s.t and forced me up.

Luke was pacing again "I didn't expect this you know, But it's true that seemingly the harmless ones are the most dangerous." Then he stopped and looked at me. The look he gave me was accusing and angry.

Wait... is he really mad at me right now? The nerve, if anyone should be mad that's me. And what is he accusing me off? that I'm one of them? whoever they are. The guy burning, Luke having some kind of supernatural power, everything doesn't make sense, and I don't even know what to think right now.

"I'm sorry this has to happened"

He's not

"But your kind killed my parents, this is nothing personal June but I have to kill you."

Then his right hand slowly transformed into a long blade. I screamed but they came out muffled, I pleaded him with my eyes. My tears streamed much faster and stronger, I don't want to die.

He looked at me and for a moment I saw the pity in his eyes but it was gone in an instant. Then the next thing happened to fast. He's suddenly in front of me, his arm-sword going all the way through my stomach, but the pain was already to much that I didn't even feel anything.

He pulled out the blade and stepped back not a single sign of remorse. Blood came out of my mouth, The guys holding me released me and once again I dropped to the floor. You know what's weird is that I don't feel anything anymore, it's like my body became completely numb and the crazy part about it is, I'm okay with it because for once there is no pain.

My eyes started to blur, Is this it? am I going to die? How did I deserve to die like this? My eyes started to close and then darkness.

"Ignis Divina" A deep voice said. "Rise Leader"

"Huh... Who are you? What's happening? Am I dead?"

"Rise Leader" The voice said again

"Huh...? What are you talking about?"

"Rise Leader" The voice said again

"Leader? Me, Leader? No... are you joking? I can never be a leader"

"Oh...? But you can, so rise Leader" The voice said with a slightly amused voice

"Are you kidding, everything about me shouts the opposite of leader. I'm not a leader, so can you stop saying that!"

"Oh...? But you are, so rise Leader" The voice said, Okay this is getting frustrating.

"I don't understand... Okay?! I have a million questions! starting with, what in the world is going on?! Who are you? What happened? Where am I? I'm so confused!"

"All your questions will be answered in due time, but for now rise and fight Leader! Rise!"

Warmth filled my entire body. Gasping for air, my eyes snap open.

I started to get up in all fours, coughing. My body's like on auto pilot, getting up. I wobbled a little before finding my balance.

Everybody looked shocked, especially Luke. His jaw hangs open, as if he'd seen a ghost or something.

The wound on my stomach is completely healed, not a trace left not even a scar. It's like my stomach never got stabbed.

I smirked at him "Shocked? so am I"

Darkness filled his eyes, the atmosphere became heavy and a dark aura started surrounding him. The others got over their initial shock, then change their stance preparing to attack.

"Don't get to excited, If you won't stay down for the first time. I guess I'll just have to kill you again" Luke said, looking more annoyed and angry but he also looked terrified?

"Kill him" then everyone charged at me.

My hands move on their own, going behind my head. My hands gripped hard like they're holding a hilt of a sword, then I pulled hard. A massive broadsword materializing as I pull, it looks heavy but it's surprisingly light.

"Ignis Divina!" I shouted, then the sword erupted in golden flame.

The show I made didn't stop them from charging at me. One of them went for the attack, I dodged it easily and swung my sword, hitting my attacker, making the guy burst into flames.

My body and mind feels surprisingly light and focused, making me dodge and attack effortlessly. The only problem is there's too many of them and I can't hold them all off by myself forever. I missed one of them, when she sneaked behind me ready to slash with her long needle like claws.

Then it happened so fast, something fast... what looked like a spear or javelin flew towards the girl, impaling her, making her disintegrate. Then someone dropped from the glass ceiling, shattering it. She landed gracefully behind me slashing the enemies attacking me from behind. When I looked to see who it was, I didn't expect to see the new girl in school and she's wielding what looks like..... If I'm not mistaken a pair of Chakrams. In the other side of the room, enemies started disintegrating. I'd recognize that steampunk fashion anywhere, since there's only one person I know who wears it like that. It was the new guy the girl was with in school, he skillfully and swiftly attacks any enemy on his path with his Spear.

Together, the three of us effortlessly fought in sync and harmony. And the rest of what happened went by a blur.
