I wanted to be a Hero [2]

Right after that, I started hearing the sound of clashing blades. Actually, it was not the clashing of two blades, I had grown used to this sound by now. 

It was the sound of the clashing of a sword and the claw of a beast. Turning behind I saw that father was now engaged in a battle with a demon beast. 

I barely stopped my heart from coming out of my mouth and my brain to explode. 

This was wrong. I was being put up in a desperate situation right now. I didn't want to leave mother here, or Anya. But I also didn't want to let father fight that beast alone; I knew he wouldn't last long. 

Someone was playing a dirty game with me here. I didn't like that. 

I lay mother on the ground carefully, then I removed my battered cloak and put it upon her. After removing the cloak I noticed some of the deep cuts I'd gained under it and on my body. 

I ignored them; my own cuts were the least of my worries right now.
