"Run daisy" Beibei shout, but daisy couldn't move an invisible force was holding her down "Run" Beibei scream and this time she tried and she did, she ran frantically a kick stop her, she roll on the floor and stand up.
A man stood in front of her grinning, she lower her gaze and the thing she saw dashed away her hope, the man was half human half phoenix, one of the most powerful creatures around the night forest.
"Give her to me" he scream, the ground shook.
"I won't" He open his mouth his slimy teeth glistening with blood.
"Give her to me and I won't let the knuckers eat your flesh" he bargained, daisy almost sneer.
" I won't, why don't you go meet may zhiang? I guess you would tell her why you want to eat my baby"he laugh and the ground shook again underneath daisy, her skin prickled slightly, She as faced many creatures, killing them in one go but not alone with may zhiang and Owen and not with a baby either.
She suddenly wish they were both here to protect their child because right now she can't..... she can't, daisy hold the sword and in a flash
***she saw Beibei killing the hybrid but instead of Beibei getting up she fell on the rock, her eyes shut closed... dying.**
Daisy froze and open her eyes wide, the child... the baby as just showed her what'll happen , she saw a vision, no... no daisy struggle to her feet 'beibei can't die'she thought.
The hybrid raise his claws ready to strike but Beibei stab him from behind he scream and dissipated turning into flames, Beibei stagger to daisy.
"You're going to die" daisy whisper to her, tears trickling down her face "I saw it"
"I know, I saw the visions too but... I choose.. I choose death, this is the only way now go daisy"Beibei push her.
" I can't leave you here" daisy pull Beibei with her " I can't let you die, there must be something we can do"
" Nothing daisy, you've to hurry,Her scent is everywhere, it won't be long before they all come here in their groups, they can feel her Powers, it's strong"Beibei cough " so leave, for may zhiang for boss don't let their sacrifices go to vain"
She spit out blood and fell to the ground, in tears daisy ran out of the thick forest.Almost out of the dark forest Hope suddenly start to cry daisy change the baby position to her front.
"You're going to be fine" The baby tug on her cloth, daisy kiss her forehead "don't cry little hope" she pet the baby, but the hand continue pulling her bloody shirt, daisy frown.
"You want to... oh no,no I can't feed you" she pull the material back but hope pull it with much force, with lot of hesitation she unclasp her bra.
She as never done this before, she was never married and neither had she given birth, she only got to the point of engagement but he'd died when he went to fight the witch with Owen, and that as been that now she wonder how hope would get any milk from it.
She stop in her movement, scenting the knuckers, the strong scent of blood mixed with their heavenly smell.
'Heavenly?! 'Daisy shake her head at the thought, getting up and despite hope crying she carries the baby on her shoulder, taking out her sword and in a minute she was surrounded.
Daisy glance at the knuckers one by one, her hand fisted on her sword, waiting for the first dragon to move.
"Give her to us" She heard in her heard.
"We want the Magik"they rant in her ears, bloody scene covered daisy sight for a minute as she move making the knuckers jump at her, she'd done this before, she tried to relax cutting through the knuckers heart, 'she can do this again'she assure herself.
Setting her foot on the ground, she tried to recall when their lives had gone wrong 'was it when they'd first stumbled on the bones of the protectors?, was it when the witch had first held the amphithere dagger? when? she leap taking the knuckers in front of her by surprise and his fire ball attack only grazed their feet.
"You can't fight us all, you can't" the knuckers sneer, thoroughly surprised she'd the gut to " Give us the magic"
Daisy step back, holding the baby strongly 'Magic'the words resounded in her ears,'Magic!',she touch the baby arm, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, she heard the knuckers cackle, sudden rage overtook her as she threw the first blast of magic at the knuckers in front of her,she noticed even amidst the chairs that the baby stopped crying.
Their body fell to the ground,turning to green substances,daisy tried to open her eyes,tried to control the powers but she couldn't,as her hair grew ablaze,she fought the knuckers full on with the powers not hesitating a bit to spare their lives.
Daisy breath hard when her eyes were finally opened,her body was on fire,her teeth shattering as she glance at the creatures on the ground,a powerful force block her sight,she tried once more to use hope powers in attempt to free them both, it didn't work as she expected and only a groan made her stop trying.
"Hey, stop that you'll die at this rate"Her vision were slowly restored, she turn towards the voice."You can't control the powers,the knuckers will surely avenge this death"he said softly,bowing fully for the girl in her arms.
She raise her brow,staring at a dark haired handsome man,his yellow glowing eyes making her confused than ever,he was taller than her,his face staring back at hers in same confusion.
"Who are you?"her voice came out small,the man smile,his lips stretching.
"Get up,we need to leave here ASAP"
"That's not an answer"
" Well,I don't answer strangers so get up"Daisy scowl.
" I also don't get up for strangers" she lift hope to her lap protectively,she noticed a slight change of expression on his face and then he was scowling.
"Beibei is gone,may zhiang spirit lingered that was the only reason you were alive,how could you think of sucking powers from a little child,she was excited that's why you couldn't control it"he scolded,making her jaw drop.
" Her name is hope"
"yeah and because of you I can't touch my niece" Daisy eyes contort. " Get up"
" Her niece?she only as an uncle and he doesn't look like you plus he's a nice guy"
" Daisy we need to get going"she refuse to move an inch if she didn't get an answer. "Joe wang, that's my name now up"
"Joe wang?you mean Owen brother? you've changed so much"daisy exclaim.
"We can talk when we get to a safe place"He held his hand out she took it,he insist on trailing behind her as they go. "I thought you knew I would be here"
"I came late, didn't get the chance to have a talk with her"daisy hold her sword tight.
"It was in the prophecy,I mean her death and the newborn death and I thought it was happening when you used her Powers"
" It was a mistake,that was all I could think about at that"She smile,finally getting our of the dark forest and into a road. "Where are we heading to?the creatures knew the minute she was born"
"Her scent reached me"He answer shortly " We'll be staying at a man place,the rituals are already carried, I'm a witch but you're not so you'll have to get in first"
" Do we need a lot of witch help to disminish her scent?"
" We already took care of that,until she's of age she can't use her Powers,the barrier spell will be performed on her,same as you"
" I'm a human"
" You used a protectors power,which is unbelievable and rare so I don't trust you"Joe wang take her sword and gave her a yellow dagger. "Don't make yourself to obvious"
"Same as you" She force a smile.
" Close your eyes"Daisy blink at the command "close it" she nod before doing as told once again holding hope in place,and suddenly she felt herself jerked upward as their hands met,her stomach twirl,her body ache like she was been beaten. "Keep your eyes closed"
She suddenly understood what was going on they were teleporting and before she could voice out her thought on him been weird,he press her chin with his finger,she wince her eyes fluttering open.
Daisy lift her chin up in awe at the first building she saw,she could see the bloods around,the blood made for the spell "May zhiang" she mutter,a smile greasing her lips as she stare at the house, it's small but exquisite with the garden like artificial decour.
"She's gone daisy,now we've to make her live within us"joe wang said behind her.
"I saw the prophecy and trust me this time the amphithere isn't going to fall, it'll rise"
" That's if we all work together,nice meeting you daisy"he vanished,daisy fiddle with her hand fear creeping down her spine.
The door sound made her look up, her hand clenched on her dagger, A man in his twenties came out,tall but a little shorter than Joe wang,dark haired with gray eyes,smoky hit in his shirt and pants. She swallow, staring at him fully, his gaze held hers as he walk up to her, she noted he was human, there was no way he could be something different with his clear orbs,He bow again for the baby in her hand. "I'm Albert roget, you'll be staying with me" he straighten his pose. " Daisy"she mutter, ignoring his gaze and stepping towards the house, her new home, her new hope of victory, this is a new Dawn she look at the baby in her arms... a new Dawn for her.. for hope.... and for the night creatures brutally killed in the war.. "for us... our resurrection" She hold hope hand and she noticed the dagger in her eyes glowing. Seventeen years later... A girl placed at the booth of a car slowly regains consciousness and grunt noting she was locked In the booth of a car, she thought it was n
Daisy, Albert and Joe wang watch in horror, what's going on? They all had the same question on the mind but still they know all know they can't move to her, a blue light slowly fill the room. "The energy is stronger this time" Joe wang said in panic "May Zhiang warned us about this" "And she did tell us not to do anything,He's almost here, we can't stop him"Daisy piped in breathing hard. " But she could get hurt, he trained may zhiang so I know"Albert shake his head and pat Joe wang shoulder. " She's having a vision, and probably a dangerous one" Albert words made them both nod. Amidst all the commotion, hope found herself in front of a wall her hand caressing it to get through it, it slowly opens revealing a large golden scroll in front of an altar, curious hope pick it and roll it down on it was a large word, written in ink. "Only one color, but not one size" "Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies" Hope look up in confusion, she glance back at the scroll to read the rema
"Hey" He wrap his arm around her waist as she straddle him, his friend said an husky good day striding to his game room,his girlfriend pull Michelle leung."your hands off,Natalie" "Get your pawns of my girlfriend,go wear something the time will pass us by"Natalie sy,the Belle of the sy's of Average height,baby face,Long lashes,her body senescence than her age,continue holding Michelle arm, reluctantly Stuart get off the bed earning a quick pout from Michelle. "Nat" Jason li called from the game room before appearing,he was a tall straight out of the magazine handsome with broad shoulder like his friend and a always furrowed brow,she went to him to ask what's wrong making Stuart pull Michelle towards him again. "What's up?" He kiss her. "Nothing,you didn't answer my question earlier" Stuart chuckle. "You know you're the only one right?No girlfriends only you"He take a swift of her lavender oiled hair,Michelle was a beauty surpassing Natalie. Unl
Though she's well off,si jie didn't let it get into her head, She's one of the nicest person one could ever come across. "I thought I would die" Sir jie blurt out. " Why?"Hope ask but already knowing the answer. "You know why so don't ask,sis isn't home for the week and you know I can't just spend my days with lan yuan"si jie fake a yawn. " Why not? she's your governess" "I know but it's gonna be boring and that will absolutely be a free ticket for those men to visit" "Yeah right"Hope shrug understanding where Si jie is coming from "Will you tell me the main reason you're scared of the opposite gender now?"Seeing there's a chance Si jie tells her she press in. "No and I don't hate men dummy, I'm androphobic" Hope squint her face " It's the same thing buh relax I'm just kidding,let's just go" The two drag their feet out of the gate,the college bus halted and the two exchange look "What?" Hope was the first to speak. "You said 'let's just go'like you already knew the bus is he
"希望" The word brighten on his skin and daisy squint knowing the pains he must be feeling "Xiwang, it means hope" Daisy could only inhale and exhale to keep her rapid breathing in check, she had the same mark infact they all do when may zhiang came, it was the dragon scale choosing who's going to be the protector of the magic guardian. It'd all come as a surprise to them then because such thing as never happened before and may zhiang at that time wasn't pregnant or chosen one, so how come?. The mark had stopped when May zhiang died and not in her wildest dreams had she expect to see this same mark on someone else, someone much younger, she'd scent him, his intentions before he came in, she'd known he was here and that could only sum up to the fact that it's because of the scale. But now she didn't know how to explain to the innocent young man, No! she didn't want to be the one to explain so as usual she hope Albert would arrive soon. "That's why I'm here....for answers" As soon
"Oh I'm sorry hope" Si jie apologized standing up to turn off the alarm "I sleepily set it to 3am....hold on what're you doing there?" hope turn to her friend " Why are you glaring?" "Because you just..." She stop herself"Just go to sleep and please don't make this kind of mistake again"She turn back to the window and to add to her dejection there was no longer the Moon in sight,Sir jie crane her head to see what got hope attention but quickly lower it when she saw hope turn to walk to the bed and drop on it like a pillow. "Babe are you sleep walking?" Sir jie ask worriedly. " I'm not"Hope yell " Go back to sleep please" Si jie wondered what she could have done to make her friend angry "I'm sorry" Hope groan in reply. Stuart stood in daze when he saw there was no Moon in sight again,he pull his hair. "Darn,I was close...too close" he mumble to himself. "Close to ejaculation?"Jason piped in, Stuart roll his eyes "You should have slept with mich...." "Wi
"See those ferns, pineapple bushes..." "I love the sunset here, see how glowing everywhere is and the sand"Si jie sit on the ground playing like a kid, hope turn akimbo, taking some sand into her palm"Those tall palm trees are beautiful" Si jie and hope sleep on the sun gleam on them and the abundance of sand surrounded them,excited them. "Wow the sand is rough on my skin" Hope half smiled "It's stinging"She chortle, Si jie turn to furrow her brow at hope. " What's happening hope?" Si jie,belly knitted, her fear making her breath come out ragged. She saw hope surrounded by circles of light like in trance hope stood up and came face to face with an old man in a white robe, bald head with a big smile on his face. **** Daisy raise her finger to lift the candle but it remained where it was, she palm her face, she's used to this trying out the techniques hope taught her. She was a human, Albert was a human but from the first time they cradled hope their lives
Michelle and Natalie crept behind her scouting the vast island "There's no one there,is this some kind of a sick joke?" Natalie chirped. "Shoo, quiet down, the girl is a crazy kind" Michelle warned. Si jie ignored the two girls and ran with all her might back to the their guest house,open the door with her shaky hand and lock it behind her. "Where is it?"She rampage through hope bag and start to wail when she didn't find anything, depressed she check a small pocket opening at the backpack then felt something drop into her palm,she bring it out,herself and the talisman radiating. "Si jie,there are times when I don't feel like using this thing" Si jie recall hope telling her,she do what hope usually does and delved back into the memories. "Why?" "You're always up for why?"hope pout "I feel too confident sometimes,it kills but I do become over confident I won't lie" "That's unreasonable and reasonable in some ways"Si jie shrug. " I'm just trying to tell you this bland brain diet
