Scar

At the castle of Unity a meeting was just ended about giving their people more leg room of what job they shouold go into. A few of the magic leaders; Fire, Water, Animal and Blood went to have a meal afterwards while the rest went to bed. Annie Ruthwoodthe leader of Spirit magic was walking to her room by herself when footsteps walked down the hallway after her. Annie's dark purple hair was pulled back in Havana Twist braids for this special occasion and swung side to side as she walked. The footsteps came closer and closer, Annie then finally had the couagre to turn around to see who it was.

"Hello?" She asked into the dark hallway.

No one responce was needed for her to know someone was following her. She quickly walked to the end of the room and opened the door, turning once more to see who was following her. When not a soul appeared she got a chill up her spine.

"I-I am a ruler of magic! Show yourself!" she demanded.

There was yet again no responce. The room looked darker somehow now, as if the shadows were coming closer and closer to her. Annie pulled the door open and quickly shut it behind her, and with all of her weight she pressed herself againist the door. Annie waited a few seconds, she was about to let go when there was a small push on the door. Quickly she contiuned to push on the door. If this is a prank it has gone to far, she thought. Then the pressed on the other side of the door ended suddenly.

She waited a few moments until letting the door go and walking away from it. Annie knew not to turn her back on the door and backed away, slowly. A mintue passed and nothing happened, no responce and no one dared to open the door. She pulled all of her energy and focused it into her hand, her fist glowed a purpleish glow and then green. She got ready to stand her ground. After what felt like hours for her she released th eflow of energy and sighed, then continued to walk to her room.

Bam!

Annie turned around to see a guy dressed in all black standing near the door. He had blood red hair that peaked out from under his hood. A shadow covered half of his face, making him even more horifying. Annie made all of her energy come backto her hand and made a fist, it glowed a green color straight away this time.

"Oh come on princess, this will only hurt a little." The guy stated.

He spoke with a accent that Annie remembered hearing vaguley. Purple walls of her hallway made the lights seem to not cover as much as it would in the daytime. She decided it best to keep her distance againist an unknown force that was willing to fight her. Annie's long black dress blowed in the breeze coming from the opened door, her leg became cold as the breeze made her split open up more.

"W-who are you?" she asked.

The man lifted his hand to uncover his hood. A man in his late 30s stood infront of her, someone that she had never seen before. He had blood red hair and dark red eyes, he had a giant scar across his face. Even though Annie had dark skin the man's skin was even paler then the usual person would be. He looked as if he'd been straved for months.

"Don't worry about that princess, I only need a little blood." he answered.

"Blood magic!" Annie stated.

She dogded his first attack, he had thrown a knife at her. As she dogded Annie thought about how people who use blood magic usually fought. If only she had trained with Sky more but he never really did train, or like fighting as a matter. The man then ran up towards her and tried to stab her again, this time the knife gleamed dark red. Annie quickly dogged and made fire appear out of her hand and shot it at the man. He side stepped and turned to face a wall of water that was solidifyied.

SMACK, was the sound made from his face hitting the wall. Even Annie looked away and scrunched up her face at the sound, he defintley broke something, she thought. The man stumbled backwards with his hand over his nose. Annie quickly ran down the hallway, I have to alert the others!

After regaining his balance the man looked at Annie as she ran away, "And here I heard that the Spirit ruler wasn't powerful enough to hurt me."

She didn't listen to his mocking and decided to run towards the door. She was almost there when a knife flew past her shoulder. Pain shot through her shoulder, like she was pinched with a needle.

"Damn it!" she said.

Annie then turned and noticed that the man was now running towards her. With her remaining strength she used her own ability. Rasing her hands up the man floated to the celing, quickly she threw her hands downward. The man fell from the celing to the floor. Annie repeated the action twice more and a smile apeared on her face as she was finished. Sweat dropped from her brow, from all of the running and now using magic.

Annie was about to turn and run towards the other door again when she heard laughing. She turned on her heel and was face to face with the man, he had quickly recovered and was staring her dead in the eyes. She was inches from the door, all Annie had to do was turn and push it open. The man had put his arm on the door and leaned against it, in a position Annie would imagine a high school boy flirting with a girl againist the lockers would be in.

"Scar," he said. "Scar's the name."

With that he pulled the knife out of the door and licked it. Before Annie was paralyzed with fear but now she felt like she was sitting down. As if something was holding her comfortably in that positin. She felt her muscles ease wihtout warning.

"You're going to make a good puppet," was the last words out of his mouth before everything Annie had ever known was taken from her.
