• Chapter 19 Bravo’s Choice:

    Beta was holding Arc a little off the ground by his throat “I don’t know why I was sent after you. You’re nothing but a puny little…” He was cut off by a sharp pain in his side. He dropped Arc as he fell over in pain. Arc landed on his hands and knees coughing and trying to get air back into his lungs. When he looked up he saw Amy. She had fox ears and fox claws which had a bit of blood on them from stabbing Beta. Beta grasped his side as he got up “You little wretch!” He shouted as he lunged at Amy who quickly round house kicked. Beta was hit in the face and was sent flying back wards until he hit one of the trees in the forest behind him. Arc staggered to get up still dizzy from being choked “Amy?” he said while looking at her. She looked at him, but didn’t say anything. She went to attack Beta like a wild animal. Arc noticed that the way she ran was like the Twilight Beasts that attacked him. He quickly caught up to her and picked her up. “Amy we have to go now!” She struggled for a second, but then quickly returned to normal and fell unconscious.

    A little while after his short talk with Bravo Steven went back into Bravo’s room. He found him sitting on the coach watching the television and writing something down on a notebook. He walked up behind the chair silently, but when he stopped Bravo turned his head just enough to recognize who it was “Hey, Steven what’s up?” Steven walked around to the right side of the coach “I was thinking about it and shouldn’t we go look for Arc and Amy? If they get attacked they may need help.” Bravo shook his head a little “Yeah, I guess you’re right… Nobody can pay me enough to baby site.” He said jokingly while getting up from the coach. Steven assumed his usual cocky poster “Funny, that’s what I thought when I saw you.” They both laughed. Bravo started towards the door. He opened it and gestured for Steven to go out first “I believe it’s ladies first.” He said with a smirk. Steven was about to say something when he saw Arc running in the street with Amy on his back. He ran out the door “Hey, Arc!” he shouted to Arc who stopped and looked. He started running towards them “Finally.” He got inside and laid Amy down on the coach.

    After attending to both Arc and Amy, who was still unconscious, Bravo pulled out a chair and offered a seat to Arc. Arc sat down rubbed his throat a little. Bravo looked at him “What happened to you two?” Arc looked at Bravo “We were attacked by a Death Twilight.” Steven laughed to himself a little “And we were just about to come get you for that very reason.” Arc looked at Steven “And you couldn’t come sooner?” Bravo cleared his throat “Any way” he said in an annoyed voice “what happened?” Arc looked back a Bravo “I heard a knock on the door and when I opened it this guy name Beta punched me…” Bravo interrupted “What did you say Beta?” Arc nodded. Bravo’s fists tightened “Brother…” he said in a quiet voice. “Wait, what did you say Bravo?” Arc asked. Bravo let his hand go lose “Nothing… you were saying?” Arc continued to tell what happened, but Bravo was deep in thought “Brother… is the time coming? Will I really have to… to kill you? Or can you find a way to pull through?”

    Beta woke up a few hours later. “Ow, my head.” He tried to get up and a pain shot through his side. He buckled in pain “Oh, yeah that too…” He carefully got up while holding his wound. He leaned against the tree he hit “That little wretch! I’ll make her pay for this!” he said while the hand around his wound tightened. The wound started to get a burning sensation to it and it intensified until it felt like it was on fire. He clenched his teeth “Ow… I hate this part.” After the wound started burning he took his hand away from it and it was healed. There was a scare you could see between the ripped, blood stained suit. He stood up the whole way and walked back onto the street in time to see the sun rise. “Wow, I must have been out for quite a bit… When I find them they’re going to pay!” he started to raise his voice “Do you hear me you punks! You’re going to pay!” he shouted as he ran up the street.
