Tale Of The Half-Blood Wizard

We went through small alleys which required me to slide my body to the side to go through it. But they kept chasing without mercy and their numbered was added up. 'I dont want to die today' was the only spirit that pushed me run.

"Aarrghhh!," I screamed as another pull threw me back. Then,the next second something took me flying to the air. And in an instant, I found myself sitting on Kerberos's back. He took us flying and gliding among the gaps of the shop buildings, and in another second thrusting the sky.

And the freezing weather slapped my face, so cold and hard. When Kerberos flew straight to the sky and hovered among the clouds, "Am I dead?' I thought.

When I got back to my own sense, I saw flash of shadow behind and Kerberos did, too. We shot through the white clouds with gradation of yellow and orange. I held the fur of the three-head dog tightly with Mickey in my arms. Once in a while I turned back and I saw they were still chasing us.

"Phantom the guardian? How could he come here?" Mickey got panicked.

His panic radiated to me, I could not even think, "Who is that Phantom?'

A second later I was jolted in panic when one of them was able to kick Kerberos so that he was shaking. I screamed when I was about to throw down, "Get me down,!" my scream was gone beneath the gust of wind.

Kerberos could hear me screaming because right after that he glided down, flying down. We flew through the misty area, then some branches of pine trees protruding from the thickness of the clouds near the surface of the ground. The clouds condensed over the surface of the ground. "Lower, please," I requested.

He kept quiet but took me flying lower between the branches of the forest trees somewhere I did not recognize the area precisely.

A big lake was spread in front us. The sharp difference of the weather over the surface of the lake and the water of the lake gave the impression that the water was boiling.

We stopped and hid among the bushes on the bank of the lake. My eyes were stuck to the darkness, to any movement of the creatures that were hunting us. They were flying low on the water surface.

The base of my tongue felt so bitter as I kept watching them without making any inches of moving. Any moves would attract them to detect us. Meanwhile, they were still flying over and circling over the lake, confused.

"Tha, they detect us from our odor," Mickey whispered. "This forest disguises our aroma," I looked surrounding and realized the pine forest has distinct smell that helped us hiding. The misty air was also a great help to us to prevent us from them.

After circling around the surface of the lake for some time, they decided to go.

I picked up my cell phone to call Miko, but he did not pick up the call. I just wanted to make sure that he was alright. "Kerberos, can you take us home?" I asked him.

Kerberos nodded, then we left.

…

When I came to the shop, the shop was full of people. Two ambulances were parked at the front of the shop and people were crowding around something.

It was Miko with another man I did not recognize. Blood spread in the shop and on the pavement, some was splotched on the wall.

Miko's eyes were popped out at an object, and one other was with his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something. The medical crews put them in the corpse bags and loaded them into the ambulance.

"Are there any families of the late?" a policeman who just arrived threw that question, I was shocked, I raised my hand and told him I was a friend of Miko, and a mother with swollen face claimed she was a friend of another victim.

The police took us to the office for further information. During the interrogation, that woman kept saying that she saw smoke flashed over when they were walking together, then instantly her friend fell down with injuries and blood scattered on the pavement. She also heard a scream came out from the shop. In a second, things turned rowdy.

"Miss, where were you when the incident took place?" the police asked me.

"I went out for a short time," I tried to calm down when answering the questions. "When i came back, I saw two ambulances in front of the shop,"

"Where did you go?" the police asked in more details. That made me nervous , but I could control my expression.

"I met a friend for certain issues," I lied. It was impossible to tel them that there were creatures hunted me, then I saved myself by riding a three-head dog. That would sound ridiculous for them. "I took my dog with me," that statement was approved by that woman since she saw no one else in the shop at that time.

The police said my explanation did not help much for the investigation, I knew nothing about it. Shock, confusion, and fear struck me this time. What kind of horrible disaster happened to Miko while I was going?

A call came in, distracting my fear a second. The news about what happened to the florist spread so quickly through television news. The call was from Emma, "How did it happen? What was going on in there?" I heard her crying. Her voice was hoarse.

I did not know what to say. I was confused to explained what had happened. I was quiet, , until Emma spoke up again, "Tha, my mother has passed away," it was like a hammer knocking on my head, I was shocked, and the fear occupied me again. Tow horrible things happened at almost the same time, "Please don't come here," she asked weakly. "Tell mIko's family, and help his brother and hi s mother for the funeral process. He is like a brother for me. In his last day I trust him to you," I just cleared up my throat replying to all her words.

When Emma hung up the phone, my brain tried to comprehend every single thing happened today. I felt like a fugitive. They were after me and hurting people closed to my life to warn me, hoping I would give up.
