A Nightmare Walking

While I was watching the students, Lucille showed up, bloody and bruised. She could barely walk. Her breathing was labored, and blood flowed from wounds on her body. I caught her right before she fell.

"Master, I tried I really did. The young miss was taken! I couldn't even fight back, that person overwhelmed both of us in seconds. I am so sorry master. I failed you." Lucille's last words struck my heart.

A wave of energy erupted from me. The force wave uprooted several trees The students saw the shockwave and came to investigate. They all circled me, holding onto Lucille's lifeless corpse. I howled into the air, The energy around me creating a typhoon-like wind. Anyone nearby struggled to stand. Anna moved the students back as I stood up.

"Take care of them," I growled through gritted teeth.

Alicia looked at me with concern, but I was lost in my anger. I jumped into the sky, a sword swooped down, and I landed on it.
