Birthmark

Aaron felt a sharp pain coursing through his body as he fell to his knees. His slit shaped glowing blue eyes turned back to normal and his hand unfroze. He tried to stand but was dizzy, he staggered. He suddenly got this feeling that someone was watching him. He looked towards the garage and his gaze met with edge who had been watching the whole scene. He looked shaken and pale with fear as he stared on...

"Wha...what dafuq are you?", He muttered. His legs felt wobbly and hold his weight anymore as he fell on his butt, his sword clattering as it fell too. His gaze was wide and shaky with fear. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He wondered if he would come for him next.

Aaron ignored him. Looking away he saw Anqa trying to get up from the rubbles. He staggered towards her and when he reached where she lay trying to sit up, he weakly fell to his knees as he could not stand any longer. He had exhausted his strength. He helped her push off rocks that were on her and around her, grunting.

"Are you alright?", He asked her, his blue eyes glistening with care, his blond hair dripping water.

'why do I care so much about this stranger. I don't even know her name', he thought to himself. He tried to help her sit up but she jerked backwards avoiding his touch.

"Am only trying to help yunno", he sounded annoyed as he took back his hands.

"Sorry am not very used to people touching me. I usually have to kill everyone who has ever tried to touch me", she said as she sat up. 'maybe none of them touched me as a means to help', she thought.

She gasped as she remembered the beast and looked around to know if she'll spot it. She was ready for another fight or so she thought. There beside the pool lay the mini giant face down in it's own brown pool of blood.

"What happened? It... it's dead?", She stuttered. She was confused cause the last thing she could remember was seeing the beast's heavy club charging towards them and she was hit by a rock displaced by the impact. That was when she passed out.

Edge walked up to them, keeping his distance from Aaron who just stared up at him. He Squatted beside Anqa with his gaze still fixed at Aaron.

"It seems that our Lil prince is the blue eyed panther after all. He took care of the cyclops all by himself brutally. Looked like he was possessed or something. He fucking snapped", he said and shuddered,"it was the most inhuman thing I've ever seen and I've seen Ra's levitating", he added. He was unharmed but he looked pale. He was impressed and scared at the Same time. He was afraid Aaron would snap again.

Anqa looked at him then to Aaron not sure if what he had just said was a joke. 'He couldn't have taken on the cyclops alone and came out unscathed. I don't understand', she thought.

"Is that true? You are just but a spoiled brat with no ninjutsu training or any training whatsoever, how did you manage to single handedly, with no weapon at all, kill a giant cyclops?", she scoffed in disbelief.

"Well I don't know either. I've been through alot of weird shit all my life and it only got weirder this past few days. Maybe you should enlighten me instead", he said standing up and dusting himself up, "Oh and there's more to me than just a spoiled brat if you get to know me" he added.

Anqa looked up at him. She felt she should apologize for calling him a spoiled brat. She had never apologized for anything or felt like apologizing to anyone before.

'What is wrong with me?', she wondered as she tried to stand up. Edge helps her up. She opened her mouth to say something...

"I'm Aaron", he interrupted her. He stretched out his right hand for a shake not sure if she'll take his hand.

Edge was surprised to see Anqa's hand hesitatenly move forward slowly going for a shake. He had never seen Anqa show any emotion but commitment to her missions. 'is she getting soft?', He wondered.

"Am Anqa", she said . She felt her cheeks burn red as her touched his. She was blushing. Her pupils flickered red then back to normal. She felt a surge of energy run through her. The cuts on her face and body sizzled as they healed letting out a faint smoke. The cuts completely vanished. She didn't seem to notice either. She could only hear sirens in the distance and nothing else.

'what is this feeling?', she wondered to herself.

Edge saw the cuts vanishing and staggered back in shock.

"Dafuq", he muttered inaudibly to himself.

Suddenly, Anqa felt a sharp pain on her back, near her shoulder. She pulled her hand from his shake and winced in pain as she held her shoulder. Aaron did the same simultaneously but held his arm instead. He looked like he was in pain too.

"Anqa what's wrong?", Edge asked as he quickly held her. He looked at Aaron who was wincing in pain too. He was confused.

"My... My back", Anqa muttered in pain. Edge looked behind her back and saw her cloth burning up with a red ember, smoking, sizzling.

He quickly tore it of and gasped.

"Looks like you are getting a tattoo", he said still staring in awe.

"A tattoo?", She asked gnashing her teeth together trying to subdue the pain.

"Looks like I'm getting one too but on my upper arm", Aaron said sweating out of pain. He had torn off his sleeve. They could hear the sirens getting nearer.

"It lo...looks like a...a dragon?", Mist stuttered in disbelief. The pain ceased and they both let out a sigh of relief. The tattoo was ebbing red at first but then turned golden.

It started glowing, then everything froze except Anqa and Aaron. The cops froze midway as they wanted to get out of their cars. Edge was frozen in place too, his jaw ajar, astonished.

A dismembered body on the roof that was dripping blood into the pool making a popping sound ceased as a drop of blood stood mid-air. Their was no other sound except for their breathing. They looked around, confused as to what was happening. They were the only ones moving.

"Cyane. Ignis"....
