In which Evelyn teleports

I froze for just a moment. Now they were aggressive?

Hera however drew her swords. All three children fixed there eyes on her. "Stand aside." They all echoed at her.

"No."

They all shifted into fighter stances copying Hera. Only I was left awkwardly, I'd never really fought like this before. I drew my iron sword and held it out in front of me. I waved it around for effect.

"Surrender Evelyn Ender," the littlest said.

"Why do you keep calling me that!"

The oldest boy shot an arrow then, straight at my head. I raised my sword but Hera knocked it away first, I noticed it was bubbling. Then we were in a shower of arrows. Hera knocked as many aside as possible, I clumsily got the rest. The girl hadn't moved, she stared at us. The little boy however had. He punched forward, suddenly I was knocked off my feet toward the lake.

"Evelyn!" Hera said, while she was turned I saw the boy shoot. She didn't see. I watched it in slow motion as it twisted.

"No!" I cried, I brought hands forward and suddenly it swerved. The force of knocking it away made Hera stumble. The children paused for a moment, looking at me. Hera spun and charged the group. The boy sent a volley of arrows but she knocked them aside. I watched once again as the little boy punched the air. The ground exploded behind Hera sending her forward. Then in front of her sending her reeling back. Yet she kept going toward them.

They were all distracted by her. I stood up, feeling a new power flowing through my veins.

In front of me Hera had reached them, the girl had pulled out a sword, with impossible speed she met Hera. They began to duel. At least the little boy couldn't do anything unless he wanted to hurt his friend. Neither could the arrow shooter. The two of them twisted and twirled in deadly arcs. In all this only the little one saw me approaching.

The new power in my flowed. It was excited. It was restless, it wanted me to use it now. I jumped forward with it. Suddenly I was in front of him. Before he could react I wrapped my arms around his small body pinning him. He couldn't use his power unless he wanted to knock both us of skyward.

"Stop!" I yelled at the sword fighters.

Hera looked over and smiled. I felt my heart sped up. The sword yielding girl stopped.

"Don't hurt him!" She said. Both her and the boy stepped closer.

"Stop, don't get closer!"

Both froze.

Hera walked over to me. "Good going."

"Thanks," I blushed slightly.

"We have a few questions for you two." Hera addressed the children. "You can have him back once you answer."

They nodded.

"Who are you?" Hera said.

"I am Entity 237." The girl said.

"Is that your name?" Hera asked.

"Yes," the girl said.

"What is your name?" Hera address the boy.

237 nudged him. He glared at us, "I am Entity 135." His voice was a low rumble in comparison.

"And this ones name?"

The girl answered again, "he's called Entity 586."

"Why are you here?" Hera said.

"To get that one, for our leader." The girl replied.

The boy in my arms squirmed. I held him tighter. Hera drew her sword and held it nearer to the boy. He squirmed harder.

"It's okay," I muttered to him, "we won't hurt you."

The other two entity's looked agitated.

"Why me?" I asked them.

They both stared blankly. Hera put her sword closer to the boy.

"Why her!" Hera echoed.

They looked sadly at me.

"They must not know," I whispered.

Hera sighed but relented. The entity's calmed a bit when Hera let up.

"One more question," Hera said.

"Then can we take 586?" The boy said.

"Yes." I said before Hera could reply.

"Who are you working for?"

The two fixed us with a stare and in chorus said, "Our leader Entity 0."
