Chapter 6: Save my life. Part IV.

Nessa and Aleksandr appeared inside Tsuki no Church (Church of the Moon) as the locals would call it. Aleksandr looked around them for any signs of danger but found none, he then turned toward Nessa...

-"Nessa...are you alright? (he said still holding her, she nodded slightly, she hadn't said a word since they arrived to the church) moonlight district..." he then whispered to himself.

-"A church that hasn't lost its seal...(Aleksandr turned toward her again suddenly with the face of confusion on him, she laughed slightly as she got up from the floor) churches and holy places have seals to avoid demons or bad spirits inside of them, it is some sort of reform of the holy ground pact that bad guys have, that is bad guys that run from the law..." Aleksandr nodded her response and mumbled a spell and got out his broadsword.

-"Even so, whatever you felt won't be too happy we ran..." he said going toward the door, opening it a little to check outside surroundings.

-"'They' shouldn't come inside...or too near..."

-"But last time you were in a church, how is it they got in?" he asked still glued to the door in a defensive stance.

-"Abandoned church, no seal to keep...too many years gone by since someone took care of it, eventually the seal breaks..." she said going toward the altar of the church and kneeled on the floor putting her right hand over it, the floor glowed as she started mumbling a protection spell.

-"You worry too much..." he said with a chuckle

-"I know you are used to battles, but I can't help it, so deal with it..." she said as she casted a protection spell on Aleksandr.


Joe, Yevgeni and Alex drove around the city toward Moonlight district, Joe sped around the highway as Alex, with eyes closed, mumbled a spell.

-"Dude you freak me out when you do that...(Joe said avoiding traffic jams and weird pedestrians) anything Yevgeni as to who is messing around with us this time?"

-"No comrade, Alek doesn't know yet..."

-"That boy should get into your head when he knows, not when he doesn't!" said Joe desperate as he drove around the highway.


Aleksandr notices movement outside of the church, he sighed in frustration and looked briefly toward Nessa, who was still at the altar of the church casting spells.

-"'They' are here..."

-"I guess there's no choice ne?" she said looking at him sadly as she got up from the floor and walked toward him.

-"Afraid not princess..." he said with a sad smile.

-"Well let's get to it..." she said opening fully the doors of the church and with a spell getting out a sword.

Nessa gasped as she saw a man laughing outside the church in the yard, she hesitated a little at first then walked out with her sword raised. Aleksandr followed her, the doors closing behind them.

-"The name of the game is...Kill..." the man said with a coy smile.

-"Good, then you know how you end up.." Nessa said putting herself in a defensive stance, the man laughed.

Aleksandr stood in front of her, his sword ready for battle.

-"Oh my, Aleksandr you should know better..." the man laughed as he turned around to walk away from the church slightly.

-"So should you..." he said in a tone Nessa nor anybody had heard in a while, Aleksandr seemed ready for the kill.

-"Oo feisty!"

With that the man with a move of his hand pushed Nessa away with a spell, she was thrown into the doors of the church, but not a sound came out of her, she got up slowly but steady. Aleksandr started his parry with the man, each blow filled with rage.


Yevgeny, Joe and Alex still drove toward the site of the fight. Joe cursed as the traffic was getting on his nerves, Yevgeny fought to keep him calm. Alex suddenly opened his eyes.

-"No! not him!!" Alex screamed and Joe almost lost control of his car and cursed in several languages. Alex looked at Yevgeni with teary eyes, they both said in unison:

-"Samael..." Joe hit the breaks suddenly.


Nessa parried with Samael as Aleksandr got up from the floor with the help of his sword and attacked Samael. Samael pushed Nessa away with his sword and she casted a spell to try and push him away from Aleksandr.

Aleksandr span trying to hurt Samael on his legs with his sword, but Samael avoided him almost with ease. Nessa casted a spell and the wind circled around Samael making him blind as she tried to thrust her sword into his waist but he blocked her attack and Aleksandr tried in her stead managing to hurt Samael drawing some blood out of him on his side.

-"Damn it boy! Demian should have killed you all!" He then in a fit of rage threw Aleksandr toward the door of the church, Nessa screamed in fear for him as she looked at him chrash onto the doors of the church.

-"I'm ok...." he said into her mind softly. Samael then grabbed Nessa by her neck, she tried casting a spell to get away but failed.

-"No tricks Spellhowler..." Samael said with a menacing voice, Nessa fought to get away but failed, hurting herself more, she whimpered closing her eyes.

-"Yo...Samael!!" Aleksandr yelled from afar, Samael rose his eyes as he saw a dagger go toward him at great speed. Samael's eyes widened.

The sound of 'Thud' filled the air...
