6- New people

In a lonely desolated alley in the dark. A hooded figures suddenly materialized out of thin air.

Another cloaked figure walked out if the darkness at the side where the moonlight could not stream through. He joined the first hooded figure while grinning, his white teeth flashing under the moon light he said "you're late" . The first cloaked figure, lazily shifted his eyes to his company "........" He just stared blankly at him.

"Oh.....Wait, you aren't late, you just left me all alone. Earlier when they were together, the first cloaked figure was going through a book. He suddenly frowned and disappeared leaving the other cloaked figure to do the job, without any explanation. He was so annoyed at him. And now, instead of saying a word, he just kept a poker face......He couldn't insult him. Common, he still cared about his....um.... Life.

So instead, he continued to complain. But he suffered a blow, when he saw the first cloaked figure suddenly open his hands and a book, materialized from thin air. It was black with weird carving and signs on it, on the from cover middle, there was a red gem, and things swirled in it. He scanned the content and gave a light nod as if satisfied with something. He then slowly raised his head and the book disappeared on a silent command.

He turned his head to the side, not giving his companion a glance and said " let's go" instantly shutting the chatter box down. His voice was deep and sensual, but it wasn't rough. It felt like a soft caress on one skin, without even trying. His voice could make one wet and if any girl heard it, it could give her wet dreams for days with a simple word. He started moving forward.

" To where?" the chatter box asked. The first cloaked figure pursed in his steps, he didn't turn to the other figure, but he parted his lips and he said with his velvet deep soothing voice " The gathering ". And he disappeared, leaving only a trail if dark mist.

Instantly the chatter expression became serious. And he too disappeared , following the first cloaked figure to wherever they went to. Yes they couldn't miss the gathering.

The gathering of the rank cards.

Selena has been walking for a while now. she decided to walk instead if taking the bus. It gives her enough time to wrap her head around this whole senerios lately.

She sure could say she had an eventful day. She decided to take a short cut through the alleys. she took some turns. The place was the most silent and secluded. Of was getting darker and darker the further she walked through the alley. She shivered as a sudden gust of wind blew past her..suddenly she halted....a dead end. She had a feeling she was going the wrong way. Oh well, she would just have to go back. But then suddenly from no where a tall shadow-like creature blocked her way. It was huge with tall black limbs. The image didn't look clear to explain. It eyes were so hallow and dark, that you could almost think it doesn't have one. The creature looked like darkness itself, baring it teeth at her. I'm the dark of the night under the moonlight, she could see the yellowish sharp and pointed teeth.

Selena scream was buried in her throat as she stumbled backward, but tripped on a can of beer and she came tumbling down. Selena was paralyzed as fear gripped her. She stared at the creature....no monster before her. Rushing towards her, about to launch an attack.

Selena instinctively covers her gave with her arms, and then.....there was silence.

Appealed by this sudden silence and sensation on her hands. A subtle change occurred, and a warm sensation on her neck region. Selena uncovered her eyes and was shocked to see the creature was frozen, like crystalline frozen and it was baring it teeth at her, its head remain unfrozen. And for a minute Selena was stunned as she looked into the creature's eyes. She saw a flash and she found herself staring at her friend Avery, seemingly in the kitchen with her. She tried to move but felt rooted to the ground and suddenly, she saw a shadow-like figure behind Avery. Exactly like the creature she saw. Her friend was walking and staring towards her direction , but not seeing her, and suddenly "gasp". Blood rushed out from the side if Avery's mouth as a dark blade pierced through her. Selena looked on in horror as the monster retract its blade like arm and fixed everything to look like a suicide, including the suppose knife. What is this creature and how is it related to her friend?. Why did it kill her?But she was then abruptly brought back to the present, as the flashes were gone. The creature halfly covered in ice abruptly broke free in that moment and it raises it blade like arm to struck Selena, with the intent of killing. Then Selena heard a swish and slash as blue light and slash mark appeared on the creature from the shoulder, slicing from left to right in a clean cut. Selena was shaken as the creature fall before her in two and turn to a goo-like substance and some figures, dropped down behind it.

~~~~~~~~~

In the dark of the night, as the moonlight as the only source of light. The figures came running out if the darkness, making their selves known. They were well dresses for fighting, with some carrying weapons. The figure that slashed through the monster, now with his blade in one hand covered in goo-like substance, ran forward and stretched his clean weapon free hand to her. In a hasty voice he said "come with us, you'll be safe". As Selena stated at the outstretched hand, the thoughts flowing through her mind were of 'what if more if that minster comes' 'who are they?' ' will I her answers' but the thought that prevailed was the fact that she would be sage with them. So without hesitation she took his hand and soon the figures with Selena took of into the night.

She didn't know how much distanced they have covered. She was too busy trying not to throw up. After she accepted the stranger's hand, another one from behind came and pick her up. All she could remember was the jumping from one building to another. She thought she should look at the direction of where they were taking her, but she could barely keep herself from throwing up if she kept her eyes open. So she had to close it. Hopefully, she'll be alright.

............

Selena's mouth was left gaping open and her eyes wide. Now they have gotten to their destination. Selena just looked around with that same expression. The first stranger from before came up to her and said " you don't need to be scared, we are not gonna-" but he was quite shocked when Selena finally said a word "Awesome" she said referring to their surroundings . the whole place looked like a vase with so many high tech equipments and some other things she doesn't know about. The place was beyond cool. It was huge too and she also suspected this wasn't the only room.

" Wow that was the last thing I expected for her to say" The other figure, which was also a guy said. He was the one to carry her here. He was sitting carelessly on the couch. Yeah you heard it right, there was a living room. But he still looked like he was posing for a photoshoot for the next cover of hot boys. He had yellow hair and sea blue eyes. O my , he looked even better than models. He had that flirty smirk on his face. Yeah, she suspected he was gonna be a player. He had a card in his hands that he was swirling and tossing between his fingers.

"You look calm for a girl, who just experience almost facing death, from a creature you have never seen or heard of before". Another of the figures, a girl this time said, with ebony black hair and violet coloured eyes.She was tall, but not too tall, she looked like an athlete. She had a nice shape and that fighters figure and a fierce, do-not-mess-with-me-look. Selena guessed she must be the hardest to please in the whole group. She would also pack a mean punch.

" Zera! Don't give her a hard time. She's taking thus so well". Another of the figures, the last one said to the violet eyes girl. She looked like a cheerful person and an easy going type of girl. The kind of friendly person who could bring life to the group. She had the look of a happy school girl. Bit Selena was disturbed by a particular detail, the fact that she had golden brown hair and emerald green eyes, just like her late friend. Her excitement and vigour was then reduced. She took a deep breath and said "what am i doing here? Who are you guys? And what is that creature.....no monster that attacked me-" "okay, okay, calm down" she was interrupted by the first figure that saved her, he was also very handsome. He had dark brown hair that looked like he had ran his hand through it multiple times. He was muscular but not too muscular, he just had a good build. Even the yellow haired guy had a slim but a little muscular frame, like a model-like look, but he wasn't huge. They had broad chest and shoulders. The dark brown haired had a commander imposing aura.bit he was surprisingly calm to her. The girls were beautiful like models too. Was this a model photoshoot. Why was she surrounded by beautiful and handsome people.
