DESPERATION

'Huh?, that sounded like Momoi's voice'.

I ran into the forest following the voice but up ahead I saw a man holding a girl up against a tree.

"Hey aren't you being too loud?"

"HEY!!...GET AWAY FROM HER!"

*BAM*

"AAAHH!!"

An unexpected frontier blow was sent to my abdomen.

'Where did these guys come from?'

I wondered as I held my stomach tightly, There are currently three guys right here and one of them is trying to force himself on Momoi.

'Are they gang members?, Are they going to rape her?'.

"Please!...Don't hurt hi—

Despite her throat being grabbed by that guy forcing Himself on her She still tried desperately to shout out above her voice. Before Momoi could finish He hits the side of her neck with the tip of his finger.

"BASTARD!!!*COUGH*WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

I exclaimed glaring at him, I couldn't forgive him cause He just crossed a line he shouldn't have.

"Don't worry She ain't dead I just sealed her blood point making her brains blood vessel to dilate so She's just unconscious"

He said as He raise her and put her across He's shoulder and starts walking in the opposite direction from the Harvest Festival.

Momoi eyes were still open but it was like She doesn't know where She was or her cerebrum was inactive making her unconscious.

"Like I give sh*t about your stupid science crap *Coughs*, Let her go"

It's seems I was hit on my stomach real hard, when I coughed blood came from my mouth, I wiped off my mouth with my right arm. However there became a change in the atmosphere, It's still nighttime so its a little cold but it's getting hotter.

The man who was already walking away with Momoi on his shoulder noticed the change in temperature and looked back at me with surprised eyes, He handed Momoi over to the other guy who was close to him and muttered something but I could tell by his action that it was to take her away.

"HEY!!"

I moved towards him like a frog boosting my self from the floor but...

*PAM*

Something stuck on my face prohibiting me from moving forward but instead moved my head making me fall backward, there was something weird on the palm like a drawn opened eye tattoo purple in color.

I moved my eyes to my left hand side only to see the guy who was initially carrying Momoi and it seems He caught me by catching my face with his left palm.

"You didn't think I would let you do that, did ya?"

'Sh*t'

*BAM*

My worst fear occured as He smashed the back of my head on the ground.

"AAAHH!"

I exclaimed as it hurts, I was laying flat on the floor looking at the person who smashed my head down, He was standing looking down on me. To me it seems this is the guy who is in charge.

'Who are these people?, What is their goal?'

Those thoughts crossed my mind as laid looking up, But seeing as they are taking Momoi they must be in the same clique as that 'Hypno-Girl'.

"HA!, I still can't believe I was about to let you go"

The guy said as he cover his face with his left palm and laughed sarcastically looking up to the sky.

"Did the Hypno-Girl send you?"

"Hypno...girl?"

He looked at me with a weird face saying He has no clue who I'm saying or so I thought.

"OH!, Annie-Chan"

'Annie...So He knows her, but why did He say it like that maybe He doesn't work for her but He needs Momoi healing powers.

"Look here kid I don't work for that b*tch infact She shouldn't even be allowed to be a member of the 'Grave-Sanctum'".

He squats down as he looks into my eyes it felt like he was literally looking at my soul

"Grave..Sanctum is that like your club?"

"It not something a dead f*cker like you should know, After all you are not needed in the New World"

'His tone changed, Is He...going to kill me?. Sh*t Momoi's already going far I need to escape'

In his squatting posture He raises his right arm over my stomach and I could tell that he was about to hit me real hard.

*VWUM*

His hand stops right before hitting the floor, Before his hand could hit my stomach I raised my knee up to protect my stomach and used my finger to grab onto the grass tightly as I pushed my self backward making his hand miss me by a hairs breadth.

"Nice reflexes"

"I could say the same about you"

I released my knee aiming the sole's of both my foot at the side of his face but his reflex is as good as mine so He moves his head backward, however I wasn't really aiming for his face, both of my foot hits the ground and I stood up almost throwing a flip as I began to run forward.

*BAM*

"Did ya really think I would fall for the same trick twice?"

I formed an 'X' with both of my arms to block the blow aiming for my stomach. I was able to notice a dark shadow on the ground, It might be night but there's still the moon reflecting light from the Sun. I opened both of my arms a little and his arm slipped in between a little, I drew him closer while I raised my right foot aiming for his head like a ball as he slipped towards me.

*THUD*

He hits his head on a nearby tree to my left hand side knocking him out.

'Sh*t, F*CK!,F*CK!!,F*CK!!!'

The guy who walked away with Momoi, I don't know where He is now. I ran straight hoping to meet him, I got out of the forest and already in town, There are still a few people Walking by but I can't see him.

*BAM*

"AAACK!!"

I exclaimed and blood spilled out from my mouth, But what's with this strength. I staggered backward a few steps from the hit as I crouch down on my stomach.

*BAM*

Another one hits me from the side.

'Why can't I see him?'

I knew who it was but this level of strength is insane, My stomach hurts and currently my left shoulder hurts to the extent that my left arm feels paralyzed.

*COUGH*SPLAT*

Blood kept dripping from my mouth and it hurtsy stomach more when I cough making me release a large amount of blood. I kept turning my neck around with my eyes trying to find this guy.

'Could his power be invisibility?, But how do I catch something I can't see and it's almost midnight'.

*BAM*

This time He hits my right arm, I tried to immediately kick his feet with my leg to make him fall but He was too fast for me to react to. Seriously how is He moving this fast He's almost as fast as the wind. I still can't believe I didn't see his goal, he purposely lured me out from the woods to immobilize me He couldn't have done it in the Forest cause it was a little jam-packed. I've lost the ability to both of my arms...will he be coming for my legs this time.

*BAAM*

"KUWAAAAHH!!!!!!...."

*THUD*

I feel flat on the floor with my face, as I continued to spit out blood. Who would have thought He would go for my spinal cord instead of legs. IT HURTS!!!!, this is worse than breaking a toe or going to the dentist.

"SHOW YOUR SELF YOU COWARD!!"

I raised my face off kissing the floor as I screamed and as I thought He appeared right in front of me.

"Ha..ha, as I thought your power really is Invisibility"

"Ooh, So you've figured it out already you genius"

"I will get you for this, you said your club is called

'The Grave-Sanctum' right?, I will find and I will bring back Momoi and pay you back this pain in double"

"That's funny"

He says as He squats to the left hand side of my head.

"You think what I'm saying Is a joke, YOU BASTARD!!"

"No, but it's just...how will you do that if you're dead?"

"Huh?"

He raised his right hand aiming for my neck, but I quickly turned on my flame as a means of protection.

"Huh?"

A palm covers over my face especially my eyes with a closed eye tattoo and I'm standing, The palm retracts due to the burning heat of my body making me come back to reality, I turned off the flames and was about to look around when I saw a knife heading straight for my left chest I quickly reacted and moved the hand up with my left hand causing it to scratch my cheek. A little cut appeared on my cheek and I quickly moved back creating distance between us. I placed my hand on my cheek cleaning the blood.

'I can stand, my left shoulder and right shoulder doesn't hurt and my back doesn't hurt either. And besides I'm still in the forest meaning I haven't moved from here. Is it possible he has multiple abilities?, No it must be one it's probably hypnosis...no everything that's happened so far was all an illusion, Meaning I was placed under it ever since He caught me and before He slammed my head on the ground, but it all felt so real'

"Illusion, so that's what your real power is huh?"
