Good Thing Josh Was Prepared! (Kinda?)

AIYA had always pictured himself dying from a woman's wrath. But a kid?! Somehow he felt incredibly disappointed. He tried retreating, but the silver dagger quickly reached his throat. 

SLICE! 

KASHA!

SPLURT!

A few meters away, AIYA's neck was spewing blood like a fountain. But, he was still clutching to dear life. He had already popped a healing dan in his mouth. He tried saying "Cover me" (probably), but only a garble and blood came out. 

The exchange had been so fast that Josh had barely seen it. The cute Ness had sneak-attacked AIYA. Just as he was about to die, a shining golden barrier had appeared and blocked most of the hit before loudly shattering. 

The girl could be seen grinning. Her smile was one that was void of any warmth. It was full of malice, playfulness, and expectation for the fun that she would have. The point was, she would have fitted perfectly in a horror movie.
