5 Four on One, but for a Reason

He sat down in his room with the note in his hand, "Why am I so nervous about this?" A knock came to his door, "Who is it?"

"It's me," He recognized Selene's voice, "Can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure, go ahead," He said tossing the note into his desk before turning to look at her, "You wanted to talk?"

"Yes, about the festival."

"What about the festival?"

"Are you going with Rebecca?"

"No, and she hasn't asked me, so I guess she gave up on me, not to my discontent," Aaron laughed, "Why do you ask?"

"N-No reason," It was the first time he had seen her get nervous, "W-Well, um, I will get going."

"Hey, Selene, can I give you something?"

"S-Sure?" He pulled out his note, "Just don't open it until later, okay?"

"Um, sure?" She took the note and her finger touched Aaron's hand, "Why did you touch me?"

"Hmm, what?"

"You tried to touch me."

"No, I don't think so?"

"What do you mean you don't think?"

"Just take the message, I am sorry, I didn't mean to," She smiled at him and skipped away, and unlike her sister, her skirt never revealed more than it should. He sighed and then took his blade from his blade rack and tied it on his belt. He walked out of his room and saw Selene standing right outside of his door, reading the message. He froze and his face went red. She looked up at him and then at the message, "H-Hey, Selene," They both looked as nervous as each other.

"H-Hi, Aaron."

"You read it, right?"

"Yeah, I did, um," She began fidgeting nervously, "Can we speak then?"

"I was getting ready to go there."

"I will go to my room, then, how does that sound?"

"S-Sure," He realized he was blushing and then turned to leave, "Bye, Selene."

He sat down on the edge of the arena and waited for Selene, it should have taken her a few minutes only, but it was seeming to take too long, "What is going on?" He heard a scream, "Selene!" He got up and began running towards the scream, it was coming from the gardens of the academy. Turned into a path and saw four knights, one of the knights was holding Selene's arms behind her. One of them had her blade, sheathed, in his hand and another one was walking his fingers up her leg and towards her skirt, "Stop, you bastards," The four of them turned and saw Aaron standing there with his blade out.

"Who is this?"

"Isn't he the worst knight of the school?" They laughed and two of them drew their blades, "Make him pay, and make her watch, she knows she wants it yet tries to escape us, if he fails we'll have you all to ourselves, meaning it's already game over, Selene Grand," He licked his lips and kept her blade in his hand. One of the knights quickly lunged at Aaron. He wasn't on a balanced stance so Aaron ducked under his swing and lifted him from the floor and slammed him down to the ground, crushing him with his own body, leaving him knocked out on the floor. He clashed blades with the second and used his heavier blade to strike it full force and instead of getting blocked, it cut through the metal blade and Aaron grabbed his arm and flipped him over himself and slammed his back into the ground before kicking him in the head, knocking him out. His eyes were filled with rage and he was panting with anger, nothing was going to stop him. He saw the knight let go of Selene and then he was replaced by a blade to her throat. He grit his teeth as the large knight approached him. He glared at him and instantly countered his quick swing but his blade broke, it had been wore down by Mr. Grim. He looked at his blade and kept it in his hand.

"This has to work," He mumbled as he dropped his blade and then moved towards the knight and clapped in front of him, he blinked, exactly what Aaron wanted. He blocked a weak swing with his bare hand. Ignoring the pain, he jumped slightly and slammed his fist into the knight's jaw, sending him to the floor. He mounted him and rained several blows to his face, busting his nose and blacking his eyes. He got up once the knight was knocked out, blood on his knuckles and still an inferno in his eyes and he glared as the knight. He hid a small stone in his left hand and waited for the last knight to fight. He let go of Selene and ran. Aaron took the stone and launched it at him and it slammed into the back of his head, staggering him and making him fall. Aaron jumped at him and delivered a single blow to his head while gripping his collar, knocking him out cold. He got up and turned to Selene, who was still frozen in fear. He walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. She violently slapped it away, before realizing what she did, "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"Your hand, it's, it's bleeding."

"Ignore it, are you okay?"

"Aaron, you are bleeding, a lot," He looked down at his hand and the pain began to settle in, "Thank you, but, but go to the infirmary."

"You are coming with me, I don't want you to stay hurt."

"Why did you want to meet me?"

"Not right now, Selene."
