Chapter 6: Save my life. Part V.

The sound of 'thud' was heard as Yevgeni and the rest of the team arrived at the scene. Alex readied his bow and arrow and held still, Joe Armand looked at Yevgeni in disbelief.

-"That dude...it is really Samael...Aleksandr got him?"

-"I can't see very well..." Yevgeni said to Joe nervous and unable to run further. Alex fired an arrow toward Samael and this burned to the ground when it approached him.

-"You actually think that you can hurt me child?!" said Samael suddenly moving his hand and sending Alex toward the nearest tree in a big chrash. Nessa yelled but was unable to move so she managed to kneel on the ground gasping for air as she saw Alex chrash into the tree. Aleksandr ran to her protection as Samael got the dagger that Aleksandr threw out of his arm and tried to hurt Nessa with it.

Aleksandr's sword clashed with the dagger in a defensive stance. Samael threw the dagger away as Aleksandr kept attacking him in a wild rage, Samael kept defending himself but tired and hardly able to keep up.

Yevgeni ran toward Alex with Joe Armand following close behind, they helped Alex get up from the floor slowly.

-"Kid! kid man, answer me...are you allright?" Joe Armand asked checking Alex's pulse.

-"Im allright..." he barely made out in a whisper.

-"Nice aim tho..." Yevgeni said smiling sadly.

-"Nessamama..." Alex whispered slightly.

-"C'mon kid, lets help your mom..." Joe grabbed Alex in his arms and casted a teleport spell for him. Alex was engulfed with a blue light and suddenly disappeared. Joe Armand walked toward Yevgeni.

-"So what do we do mate?" Joe asked looking at Aleksandr still battle Samael and Nessa getting up slowly from the ground. Yevgeni looked at Joe and smiled.

-"How many minutes you think it will take to get him?"


Witold carried Alex toward a spare bedroom in his apartment, he had healed any visible wound and checked him for inner injuries and he was clear, the boy slept in his arms peacefully. Richard waited in the hall trying to light a cigarette but failing. Witold came out of the room and walked toward the door of the apartment, Richard then following close behind.

-"This has to end now..." Witold said desperate.


Yevgeni and Joe Armand parried with Samael as they sang in unison, it was their way of fighting together. Aleksandr helped Nessa get up from the ground and whispered something in her ear, she nodded slightly and she grabbed her sword from the ground.

-"I have to end this..." she said in a monotone voice, a voice Aleksandr knew well, the voice of Darkana of Shilen, the warrior, the mage. He knew she was planning to do something drastic.

-"We have to end it...it is not your fight alone, not anymore." he said grabbing her arm. She smiled and whispered something to him, he gasped and he let her arm go.

Yevgeni and Joe both blocked an attack from Samael, Nessa ran toward him and attacked from behind, him blocking her slightly managed to receive a small damage on his back. Samael yelled in pain and tossed Nessa to the ground in rage.

Aleksandr joined the party and kept attacking Samael along with Yevgeni and Joe Armand. Nessa got up from the ground slowly with the help of her sword, she began to cast a spell, the wind blew softly toward the men fighting near her. Aleksandr fell to the ground as Samael hit him hard on his right arm, Yevgeni was blown far away and Joe Armand tried to block Samael's sword in vain, he too was thrown away.

Nessa then dug her sword into Samael's back, not letting go of her sword, she kept casting the spell as Samael yelled in pain. Aleksandr yelled toward her begging her to run away, to stop but to no avail, she kept casting as the wind grew stronger around them both. Aleksandr slowly getting up from the floor, tired and hurt, as Nessa kept casting the spell the wind growing stronger and Samael yelling even more.

-"You stupid child! You have no power against me!" Samael said as he also began casting a spell in response.

Yevgeni and Joe looked in disbelief as Aleksandr held Nessa from behind in a embrace, pleading with her to let go of the sword. Joe starting casting a spell to help her, so did Yevgeni closing their eyes. Samael tried to block them but without success, giving Nessa a little bit more of strength.

Aleksandr still pleading with her as he embraced her.

-"I may not help you with a spell, but I won't let you die..." he whispered in her ear as he held her more tightly.

She yelled in pain as Samael disappeared leaving her, Aleksandr and the sword collapsed on the ground and blood came from underneath them.


-End of Chapter-

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...
