Rebel Holders By: Veronika Marie Sagastume Illustrated by: Veronika Marie Sagastume Chapter 2 It’s been a very long and tiring night for me. First, I had to be chased by a bunch of psycho cops who wanted to kill me, then got shot. Fell of the building almost ending my life, ended up meeting my two childhood friends (A.K.A Hitama and Ronin who are twins); getting tackled by a crazy lunatic named Hinata. Meeting two other guys named Xerxes and Yuuki. After the leader (Xerxes) made me or should I say “FORCED” me on to their team or should I say ‘pack’!!! Now back to the point…. I’m walking between Hitama and Ronin, Yuuki and Xerxes in the front of the group and Hinata in the back. The only things lighting the sky is the full moon as bright as it can be and faded street lights lined down the little drive section. The place looks more abandoned than it was four years ago. It’s cold enough I could see the little white fog come out as I breathe. I’m worried it might freeze if it gets any colder. I hug myself and shuddered as I felt the cold nip at my soaked skin… (Long story short Ronin is a Water Element Holder and something happened so he had to put me out because you know I’m a Fire Element Holder). So I would cast glances at Ronin who looks extremely guilty so I stopped looking at him. As we walked there was a heavy silence in the air all I could hear is the crickets and the very faint engines from the cars far ahead on the highway. There was one way to call this… very awkward. So I decided to break the silence. “So…. Where are we going to be exact?” I asked Xerxes. Oops I forgot he couldn’t speak…. Yuuki looked over his shoulder at me and then looked at Xerxes who gave a signal that it was okay to tell me. Yuuki heaved a sigh. “We are going to a two story apartment just two blocks from here.” Yuuki pointed ahead where it says ‘dead end’ in yellow on a sigh and then a wall. “Uhh… okay?” I was unsure if it was me or that these guys are really… confusing. So when we got to the wall Yuuki drawled out this huge I mean HUGE scythe and in the air did a circle with it and something else but then he took his right hand to his eye patch on his right eye and flipped the eye patch I couldn’t see anything because the light and then it dimmed away the wall still there and his eye patch back on his eye. Dang it! I wanted to see what his eye looked like!! Then, he pointed to the wall. “Let’s go.” Yuuki said plainly like he’s done this multiple times. One by one they ran through the wall as it rippled every time. When I was the last Yuuki grabbed my wrist impatiently and yanked me into the wall and I tripped and fell on my butt on the other side as Yuuki followed from behind. “You should have hurried up slow poke.” He said with a little too much humor behind it. I gave him a look and got back up. I looked around at the place it looked plain to me plus the two story apartment that was right in front of me. I guess they weren’t joking around. I thought in my head. The apartment was made of bricks and looked pretty expensive. I followed behind to the inside also looking like it cost a fortune. “So where are we?” I asked looking at the marbled staircase and crystal chandeliers. Hitama walked up to me and said “It’s the underworld” I blinked at the thought and shook it off. I looked up at Hitama all because all of them are like a head or two taller than me. “So do you know where I’m going to sleep?” I said still looking at Hitama who stared at me for a moment then Hinata poked his head between us half binding over half standing like I’m super short. I’m only 5ft and 3 inches! Well he’s like 6ft 3 inches one of the tallest in the group but, Xerxes is the tallest 6ft and 5 inches. I think like, ‘do they take fertilizer and grow?!’ Hinata winked at me and said “She could sleep with me” and then Yuuki and Xerxes wacked him in the head at the same time. “Ow! I was just kidding!!...or maybe not” Hinata said getting wacked in the head again by Yuuki. “Hey I said I was kidding!” Yuuki rolled his eyes and said- “Oh sorry I just love hitting you.” Yuuki smirked and turn to the apartment and then sighed. “Well she sleeps in her own room okay…?” Then he let the others separate to their rooms and turns around and looks down at me. ‘Ugh I feel so small!’ I thought. Yuuki said “follow me to your room.” “O-okay?” I followed him up the marble stairs to a hallway with velvet carpet. “Yuuki how did you get this place!?” I asked breaking the silence which made Yuuki tense up. He stopped at a door and said “This is your room “very tense and mean-like. I flinched and open the door. I guess he saw me flinch because he went to apologize but I stopped him “No its okay I know you probably had long day so goodnight.” I walked in and closed the door seeing the guiltiness in his eyes as I close the door. I lean against the door wore out from tonight all these boys and everything. I look around the room there’s a desk in the back of the room under a large window that let the moonlight in but the moon was red and made the room glow red with it. Then there’s a bed a regular one. ‘Yuuki never answered my question’. I thought flopping onto the bed and drifted asleep. ………………………………………………. I was able to escape the kingdom and to the town of Jinura were the lowly demons and etc. live. I was out on a blood moon which is really rare which is the only nights I can go out of the house, from my ‘other-self’ and my dang father Satan the devil himself. I floated around looking at the town underneath me just a dim and quiet town with demon cats and little dwarf dragons roaming around something that would surprise any human to be exact I always admired humans since my mom was human. Oh my name is Gyumi I’m a demon and a human mix my eyes are a ruby red and my hair silver like this (under this writing). So I was just looking then I decided to go down to the streets and roam a little. A breeze wafted an unfamiliar scent a very powerful demon able to out go my father… maybe, so I followed the scent to an apartment at the edge of the town which stuck out from the other wore-out buildings like a sore thumb. I decided to look through one of the windows but the blinds were covering what was in there, but one was open on the second floor so I floated up to it I could see inside the smell was 1000xs stronger so I guess who ever it was it was in there. I saw a bed and a figure laying in it so I smothered my face into the window to see what it was but then the window creaked open slowly making me tense up and wait but only a quiet mumble as the figure tossed over sending the scent back with another scent that smelled like… human almost but maybe a little…. sweeter. I floated silently into the room and landed on the velvet carpet. I walked silently up to the bed and looked at it. I suddenly stumbled back catching myself before I made any noise my heart racing and aching. I grabbed my shirt and breathed heavily. What’s this feeling…? This desire to… I shook it off and looked at the girl that has brown hair and black cat ears with white tips I stared at her face for a long time trying to memorize her soft skin touching ever so softly my fingers tingle as I touch her cheek. I felt red hot in no time. The other me will be back soon so I run my fingers through her silky soft strawberry scented hair. Then I touch her cat ear which makes me jump when she moans and her ear moves away. I move my hand away quickly my cheeks flushed. A sudden rush of energy and pain surged in me and I stepped back and flew out the window as fast and as far away from the girl and apartment building. It started to get blurry and an evil boiled in me then darkness has drowned me. That’s when I’ve known he has taken control. But one thing pondered in my head... ‘What was her name?’ ………………Siris……………… I was woken by a loud noise that sounded like fighting and then a very cold silence that made me shudder. I slowly got off the bed and stepped out the room and smelled something because my five senses got even stronger from joining this team it smelled of something I can’t describe but it smelled really good and it was strong I sniffed turning around and stared into the bedroom I slept in but I turned trying not to be too curious and padded down the stairs to see the first floor all messed up. There were Shards of glass everywhere, and Red crimson blood all over the floor. Oh please not let it be one of the boys! I ran and followed the mess to the door I grabbed the door handle pulling the door open and looked out. Nothing was out there, but I turn around and there is no blood nor mess was it an illusion?! Just then, a shadow casted from behind me and I froze then turned my head… a black guy on steroids three whole heads taller with two black ear rings and sunglasses to where I couldn’t see his eyes grabbed my mouth before I could say anything and covered it with a cloth. This smell! It’s a drug! I felt faint as I struggled, twisted, and tried to grab him but I began to lose consciousness and I go limp. And then everything went dark… …………… Hitama …………… I woke up to the faintest noise of struggling. So I leaped out of my bed and busted through my room door and started down the hallway and at the door I saw this black dude and all anger boiled in me when I saw Siris unconscious over his shoulder. I ran at him in full speed using my sound power and came at him with an upper cut, but he didn’t flinch or budge. Don’t tell me hes the- the black dude slammed his knee into my stomach sending pain through me. I hit the ground coughing up blood. “Strength Holder…” I mumbled to myself then he sent another foot into my head and I see colors spotting my vision and sleep crept into my eyes. I know I should’ve known who he was off the bat; my friend and now enemy Diego Marten. I look up at him my nose busted and he gives me a slick smile. I reach out toward them but Diego turns and jumps up on one of the roofs in front of the apartment’s entrance and disappears into the blood-moon night… I knew I was no match for him. I lay my head down and close my eyes. ‘I’ll just tell the other members what happen, that I was beaten into a pulp in the matter of milliseconds, and that Siris was kidnapped by Diego the Strength Holder who’s one of the members of the Fire Raiders…. They’ll do something about it…. … … … … … Siris… … … … … I woke up in a cell and with a metal collar around my neck, ones around my ankles, wrists and they all connect to chains then the chains connect to the wall. I yank at them making the chains clatter and make a chink sound as I tug when I knew I couldn’t get out of the chains. I heard footsteps and froze. A dark figure came up to the cell and shadows casted across her face, Her hair is black and short with honey-yellow eyes and as slender as a twig, with a height of maybe 5ft 7inches. She also wore skinny black jeans and a black biker jacket with spikes at the shoulders. “Your finally awake, you stupid rodent.” She said which made me boil in the inside. “Wait till I get out there I’ll make sure I burn your boney butt to a crisp!” I snapped back at her and yanked at the chains. She returned the favor and hit me with a whip multiple times and it burned and stung me. I cried out and scooted away to the wall shaking. “I’ll make sure you get punished for your vomit mouth little girl.” She said with an icy tone to it. “Oh by the way my name is Riana.” The door slammed from the door to get to the cell. I look down at my arms and legs which were covered in warm sticky blood from being hit by Riana. I sat there for a moment looking over at the edge of the cell and noticed a guard sleeping in a chair. I bet there’s a key attached to his pants just like in any show with scenes like this. I looked at the bulging man with a bald shiny head and a tattoo of fire and some dragon designs with the word ‘Raiders’ on it in Algerian font. Of course there were keys attached to his gun holster. The chains could reach far enough, so I reached over with my hand and grabbed the keys as slowly and cautiously as possible and took it off the clip. He snorted and his head bobbed side to side. The guard was waking up so I shoved the keys in my jacket pocket and scooted away to the farthest corner in the dark humid cell. The guard looked me over and then moved over and fell back to sleep. I gave a big sigh and took one key and tried it and several more and finally found the right one to unlock the collar and chains off me. I crawled over to the cell door my arms and legs throbbing and in severe pain I had to bite my lip from crying in pain. Something was on that whip, because I wasn’t healing even near how fast I heal. I reached my hand around and tried the keys till I found the right key and the door opened creaking very loudly. I stopped it and held my breath as the guard yanked his head then went back to low quiet snoring. I crawled out of the cell, the concrete ground freezing. After I got out of the cell room I walked trying not to put myself to misery from the cuts. I heard someone in the hall way and I quickly looked around and found a door opened so I ran into the dark room and hid. The person past seeing it was Riana made me want to put her to flames right when she’s not looking. But I need to get out of here and find the others. So after a moment of silence I crept out and took off to the obvious thing an exit door. Why do they make this escaping crap so easy?! I burst out the door and froze… there were guards with heavy machine guns and etc. I stood as one of the gun men turned around with the same tattoo as the one at the cell across his collar bone. He gave the same look as Riana and yelled- “Get her!” I took off toward him and jumped doing a flip over him and started to run. Before I knew I heard gun fire and my heart raced as I felt a pain through my arms my back and legs. I used something I haven’t even known I had, white angel-like wings, They came out on their own, and I automatically took off soaring with ease until I was out of sight. I began to get weak, and I gradually started for the ground then fell and hit it, everything going dark….
