CHAPTER 7♍♍

THE RESCUE!!!

(GONE WRONG)

"...Am a......

" Am a ........

What was happening to him?

Kiel could think the word but why...why couldn't he say them? Was saying the word really that troubling?

....You're a 14 year old?" Orenji guessed.

"No"

"...You're a vegetarian?"he guessed again

"No...

"...You're a boy?!"

"No....wait"....

"....So you're not a boy?!"

"No, I mean yes...yes I am a boy but look...All I wanted to say is that am a....Kiel had opened his mouth to say but nothing came out. No words, no sounds --Nothing! His elf like ears twitched as if for a moment catching a sound of some sort.

There were often sounds he could subconsciously pick up on but don't often seem to notice. Sounds such as the click, tick and shhhh of every speech -- The more obscure sounds that can lead reality to a scene. But the one he heard just now was unlike any of these sounds.

He could have chosen to let this go but the temptation of feeding his curiosity was hard to resist. He followed the sound, leaving behind orenji who just stood watching dumbfounded. It wasn't that far off actually, that sound...the sound he'd just heard came from right underneath him.

The closer he came to the bridge's railings, the closer he heard, the closer he could feel the tension..the panic the air brought along with it; it wasn't coming off him nor orenji but of someone. It was a chemo signal no doubt-one of fear. He held onto one of the bridge's railings then peered down and began looking around.

"...Did you feel that just now?!" He asked in a monotone.

"Feel what?!" Orenji replied from the distance he was now

"Thought I heard something.....

Kiel's memories were still in a maze of confusion, displaced memories filled with loopholes. He had tried piecing them together right from scratch, right from his moment of liberation or so he calls it, down to track and now here but no such luck....

Out of nowhere, he heard the sounds yet again and soon realized....

......these weren't just ordinary noises, but one of a struggle. His eyes darted down the scene and on some teenagers -- 3 of them actually. They were cornering a kid not more than 8 years old if not lesser into an alleyway.

Bullying-this was something our green friend here despised and if it did however came in a human form, he would knock it's teeth right out no problem.

Humans are usually fond of this act; majority however being the victims while some the punishers and he have had just about enough of it.

The emotional stigma attached to it, the depression, the anxiety involved. Being a victim of this once, he knew what it does to the human psyche.

He wasn't just going to stand idly by and watch it, watch this happen to someone else. If he can help then he should help.

These bullies needed to be taught their place and he was ready to inflict the punishments. He was ready to be their punishers.

Without a seconds thought, he held the railing tightly with both hands and with his mind already made up, he leapt across.

He leapt right off the bridge.

"Oh no...were the words orenji could only mutter in disbelief, his vanilla ice cream falling right off it's cone.

Hastily, he made his way towards the spot Kiel once stood and then he cautiously takes a look down as if expecting to see a body or something but nothing....

"...What is this, magic?!" He thought to himself..."well only one way to find out."

Thus saying, he proceeded in raising up a leg with the intention to cross over and land wherever his new friend had gone too.

But the reality of it all was that if he carried on with this plan of his, then the only place he'd be landing or crossing over too is the AFTER LIFE! Although his motive and intention was indeed good but executing this in such a way was just plain stupidity.

He tried to carry on with this plan of his,unknowingly to him that he was basically staring into the jaws of death but then......

"...What are you doing?" Came a sudden voice that startled him for a moment, making him fall to the ground.

"..What are you, an idiot?!.. The voice scolded. It was Yukiras'...Wait, let me rephrase that. you're an idiot!" She remarked with her arms folded to her chest. Usually she enjoyed watching him display his uncanny stupidity in full action but this...this was just too much.

"...Do you want to die?!"

"Uhh how long were you standing there?!" He asked feeling a little foolish which of course he should be

"...Long enough to see you try to walk the plank"She replied, a hint of hostility and sarcasm could be detected in her voice. ..listen, if you're going to die then at least do it with some dignity left, die in a battle or something. Don't go doing this and taking the easy way out, you're only going to make the town look even dirty. Hmph, talk about your body being all over the place...she added, watching him get up from the ground.

"...So how about the mission? Any progress?!"

"Oh now you remember...well about that, while you were here dawdling your time over with death..I happen to stumble on some clues in one of the many many books I found at the library. She responded, turning around with her back facing orenji

"...I'll bring it over to your place after school, shouldn't be too much of a problem" she added then began walking away

"Yeahh..and wait, dawdling?"Orenji followed her"...hey I wasn't dawdling"

"...Then what were you doing back there?!"

"I was uh...I was just...Shut up yukira" he snickered

"Heh.. she chuckled a little..when it comes down to being real stupid, you never cease to disappoint orenji"

THE ALLEYWAY//



The Alleyway was straight like that of a drinking straw and almost as narrow; someone had used it as a joke once that it wasn't a place to go walking in after a big meal but Kiel just couldn't remember who it was. He did however know it was someone he was once close too, someone he cared about but he just couldn't remember....and even though he tried to, all he could see...all he could get..was a vague face.

In the dim light that oozes through a narrow gap in the Alleyway, 2 of the bullies held their victim's arms from both sides. His face bent downwards as bruises lay across it and his body. Only now more were about to be dealt on him.

The boy had been beaten, battered.....

And now, now he was about to be broken... literally.

"Hey, i always forget..how many bones are in the human body?!" One of the bullies holding him asked

"I don't know..A familiar voice responded, crunching his knuckles."Let's count...he added at once going in for a punch but before he could do so, a tightly clenched fist from out of nowhere caught his face

"That's one.."Kiel uttered upon intervening

The bully he'd punched grunted a bit, staggering backwards for a moment but soon regained his balance. He turned around slowly and that's when Kiel knew....

He had just punched their leader in the face and if that wasn't bad enough...

It was Sean, i mean ofcourse it'd be sean, Our green friend thought. It only make sense that he'd be the bully around here. A dangerous tackle was one thing but beating up a seemingly eight year old, how low could he stoop?

Not to mention the two other bullies that aided in the assault.

And as kiel looked, he realized that these were also the two phantomballers that aided in Sean's tackle against him. How low could they both stoop?

"..Let him go..the words tumbled right off his tongue. He hadn't even thought them nor had he stopped to think about what he was getting himself into but nevertheless, he knew it was the right thing to do.

"...I said let him go, Now!!"

This time he didn't ask

"Who is this guy anyway?? Coming in here to tell us what to do"...one of the bullies responded unkindly to kiel's words

"He's got balls that's for sure...Sean spat out and began walking his way towards kiel.."...let's just see if I can break em'"

Up close and personal now, Kiel could see just how tall and noticeably bigger Sean truly was. Skates or not, the boy indeed was tall enough to look like a giant in kiel's eyes. His expression exuded that of anger as he gazed down upon Kiel with furious looking eyebrows, almost as if he was going to snap at any moment.

He tried intimidating Kiel with all of these features but Kiel on his part never broke eye contact nor showed any signs of weakness. He even had to stand on his toes just to gain an advantage of his own.

But clearly Sean still had the upper hand against him and as kiel watched, he came to a sudden realization; one that if it came down to it, if a brawl should eventually break out between them ...this guy right here could literally snap him in half.

Of course being a mere 5 foot, 4 inches tall also came with it's perks but in moments like these, it's usually best to make a run for it at this point.

But not Kiel ...

....Never Kiel!

..Because when it came down to saving a life, he was no coward.

Suddenly, a sly smile escaped Sean's lips and slowly he raised up his hand and does a finger snap. This got Kiel here thinking

"Oh oh, it's about to go down...

But imagine how surprised he was when the bullies flung the boy at the other of the alley, letting him go. He immediately dashes to the boy's rescue, thinking of nothing less other than the boy's safety and that's when he noticed....

The victim wasn't a boy!

Well actually he was but not clearly human. An odd feature stood out, one such as his long pointy ears but other than that, he looked completely fine -- very much human infact.

He was an elf no doubt about it

"But what he couldn't understand was what would this elf be doing here? And how did he find himself in Sean's clutches?? Actually, how had he would up there to begin with?" The thoughts flooded his mind

"Now you see it yourself, don't you?"Sean's voice rang out.."Clearly he's not human, only going around masquerading as one. Why...why try to help this disgusting being? This abomination of a creature!

"Abomination?!" Kiel replied a little startled by this but then turns his attention to the boys.

"Abomination?!!..so that's what you refer to us as?? I mean them...

... we're all living beings! We're all living creatures made into this world for God sake. Despite the appearances, how are we so different??...

...Just what is it that you people have against us?...I mean against them.

"Shut up!" One of the bullies shouted..."monsters are monsters and they're like plagues to our world!"

"Easy maru...Sean beckoned, taking a step forward"...you see, these monsters...they don't deserve to breathe the same air as us. They're nothing but vermin problems, contaminations to our world. Maybe it was different from where you came from but around here, it's a matter of kill or be killed..

....now step aside mimizu, or else!

"...Or else what?!"Kiel retorted.

At this point, he started to feel his blood boil from within. He wanted to bring Sean down to size and show him what's what! But then he knew that if it got physical, it wouldn't work in his favor so he remained cool...for the meantime at least.❄️

"Or else we go through you, Sean responded rather angrily"..And trust me, we're ready to do just that. I for one would be most delighted to pay you back for the humiliation you've caused me at the track"he continued, his friends taking some couple of steps forward.

His dull eyes looking so hateful that it aspired revenge

He aspired revenge....

"So three against one?! Doesn't seem like a fair fight....

"Then maybe just this once, I'll give you a choice...go home and leave us to our business Or stay here and lose both legs to do so. You decide?!"

He said with a smirk formed on his face.

Kiel looked at the bullies, it was all to clear that the odds were very much against him..moreover, he still needed his legs....

And if he leaves now, they weren't going to stop.

But then, he heard the victim's slight moans of pains and gazed down upon him. Kiel felt sad, sorry for the boy who had to undergo this.

And standing right there and then, he made his decision.

He made his choice!



Screw the odds...Screw their size...Screw their heights!!!!

There's only one way these bullies were going to learn and he needed to speak their language

"I meant fair for them...he stated taking his fighting stance with both arms raised, his eyes letting out a blue glow in the dim light of the alleyway

What had once started as an innocent dispute between them was now about to be turned into a fist fight -- What a day!
