Chapter 8
Jax opened the door waiting for me walk out. these boots were very comfortable. It felt like I was walking on clouds. I walked past him and into the hallway. I hear the door close and other open.
William walked out of his room. He studied me for a good while, then looked at Jax.
"You're making her wear that?" William asked chuckling a bit. "believe me its nice, she might seduce the strigois into surrendering"
"Thats the point of the outfit, William" Jax said from behind me. I stared at them both angrily and rolled my eyes, while they both laughed.
"Are you going to the armory?" William asked Jax.
"yeah are you going too?"
"yeah we are heading out in a bit." William said and looked down at me.
The three of us walked down the stairs, into the long hallway, there was a door opened, it must have been the armory. We walked into the room, there were guns, knives, swords, and almost anything you could think of.
I looked around the room, at all of the weapons that hung onto the wall. I felt like a excited child in a candy shop.
I looked at the table that was in the middle, something on the table was calling me.
"Aasira" It called in a whisper.
I looked through the glass case that protected what was on the table, and there it was, a sword, it's blade was protected by its scabbard. The design on the scabbard were flames and a phoenix flying out of the flames with itself on fire. The sword was calling my name in whispers. William voice startled me.
"Thats unusual." He said looking at the sword
"You can hear it too?" I asked
"No, I can feel its power."
----------------------------------------------
Williams pov
I grabbed the key from my pocket and unlocked the lock that protected the opening of the glass case, I then opened the glass case and went to grab the handle of the sword.
"Wait!" Aasira yelled but it was already to late I had already grabbed the handle of the sword. Gears from inside the sword begin to shift, but before I could let go, the sword's handle turned to spikes that punctured into my hand. I yelled in agony. Blood spilled out of my hand and onto the floor.
"dimittas!" Aasira yelled and the sword retracted its spikes to her command.
----------------------------------------------
Aasira's POV
The sword stopped at my command how is that even possible?
The sword drop to the floor and I looked at William
"Are you ok?!" I asked him.
"I'm fine, I'll heal fast." He looked at his hand then back at me "How did you know what to say for it to stop?"
"I-I dont know, it just felt natural" I said picking up the sword and putting it back on the table.
"Heh remind me not to touch it." He chuckled.
"I told you not to." I smiled while playfully rolling my eyes
"Lesson learned." He chuckled again.
I laughed then Jax walked in. I didn't noticed he left.
"What happened in here." He looked over at William then to me. He stared at me for a while.
"Ohhh." He just read my mind.
I shrugged and went to the knife/throwing knife section. I grabbed a couple of knives. I placed a knife in the pockets inside and outside of my right boot.
I went over to the guns. I picked out the smallest gun I could find which was a Glock 42. I placed the gun in the holster that was attached to the belt around my waist.
I grabbed the sword from the glass case. I noticed that I haven't seen how I looked in this outfit. I looked around for a mirror. My eyes caught one next to the door. I walked over to it and looked at myself in the mirror. The shirt was short it barely covered my breast, the skirt was also short, the gloves and boots looked really cool though, I noticed that my phoenix mark was showing and I wouldn't be able to cover it, I shrugged it off.
I looked around and noticed William was getting his weapons.
"Are we ready to go now?" William turned around getting my attention.
"Yeah." I said and looked at Jax. I earned a nod of approval from Jax.
I walked out of the room and waited till William and Jax were finally out. We walked to the front door.
