Tarou was looking at a young woman with long black hair and big green eyes.
What a strange and beautiful combination!
He knew that a witch is supposed to look beautiful and delicate to charm people around here, that's why he wasn't swayed away by her beauty.
She was reading a book like any other passenger. No one would suspect her.
Tarou approached her carefully, Sat next to her, and started staring at her.
The woman felt his glares.
" What does he want from me?"
She closed her book while looking annoyed, then said without even looking at him:
- Please sir, leave me alone. I'm not interested in any kind of relationship with you.
- Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not interested in witches.
Replied Tarou while leaning toward her.
She looked at him immediately. To know who was this person who discovered her identity. When their eyes met, She became very surprised, but didn't seem troubled. On the contrary, she smiled.
Tarou couldn't understand her reaction. Despite discovering her identity, she kept staring at him without saying a word.
Before she could say anything. Aaron came in a hurry looking for his brother.
- TAROU, COME HERE. THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM
- What's wrong??
- THE TRAIN DIDN'T STOP LIKE USUAL AT THE STATION. IT IS GETTING FASTER AND FASTER, AND PEOPLE STARTED FREAKING OUT.
Tarou looked at the witch with furious eyes, then he grabbed her from her collar.
- IT IS YOU, ISN'T ? WHAT DID YOU DO?
- STOP IT? I didn't do anything. I'm riding the train like a normal passenger.
-DON'T LIE TO ME. I KNOW WITCHES VERY WELL. THEY ARE WICKED AND EVIL.
-Not all of them. I never used my power to harm people, but I will do now if you didn't let me go.
Tarou put his hands down.
-You better tell the truth.
Then he stood up and followed Aaron.
- Lets go see what's happening.
- Where should we go?
- We must check on the driver, there must be some problems there.
They went to the control room to see what was going on. And as Tarou expected, the driver was unconscious.
Tarou checked on him and tried to wake him up:
- SIR, ARE YOU OKAY? CAN YOU HEAR ME?
The driver opened his eyes and started mumbling:
- We are approaching a dangerous turn, you should slow the train down or hundreds of lives will be in great danger.
- How could I stop it?
- Use the brakes, they are over there.
Tarou tried to pull the brakes, but they didn't work.
There was just one way to do it.
- Aaron, stay here and don't move.
- What are you going to do?
Tarou spread his big wings.
- I have to stop it with my own hands
Then he Flew to the front of the train.
He took all his power in his hands and pushed the train to slow him down, but it was very hard even for him because it was at top speed.
He kept pushing hard.
After some moments the train did slow a little bit, but it is not enough, it needs more power.
His strength started to wane and the train is still too fast. Tarou couldn't hold out any longer.
" Should I take my brother and run away? But what about all those people, I can't let them die. I have to do whatever I can to save them.
- IS THAT ALL WHAT YOU GOT, MONSTER?
Tarou lifted his head, it was the witch. She was standing on the top of the train.
- IF YOU HAVE MORE, SHOW ME, WITCH?
She smiled, then she took a stick from her bag and mumbled strange words.
A white beam came out of the stick and covered the train.
At that moment, it began to slow down until it stopped safely. All the passengers were happy except one. He was watching with a wicked smile on his face.
