38 The 3 protectors of the bridge (2/2)
Drops of sweat were beading on Judith's face, she had never been so scared in her life and it wasn't even a monster that made her feel that fear.
Ewan and Josh weren't in a better condition, they felt helpless. Josh was crying like a baby and Ewan was bitting the inside of his cheek so that the pain help him move but it wasn't helping.
”Just let it go.” A firm male voice with a strong Korean or perhaps Japanese accent was heard from above the barricades.
Bruce stopped his gesture but didn't lower his club as if he was still hesitant to kill Judith, ”Gnargh.” He growled in anger but eventually lowered his club and turned around.
”Fucking weaklings...” Said Bruce in a calm voice as he left.
Judith and the others still couldn't move until Bruce was gone far enough, then, when the shock was over, Judith hugged Josh and cried with him, ”I'm so sorry, I couldn't do anything!” Said Josh without being able to stop crying.
*CLINK*
*CLINK*
*CLINK*
On his way Bruce banged the windows of every car he came across to calm his anger which startled Judith each time even if after several times she knew he was going to continue.
Ewan didn't join the hug, he stepped back a bit to see the person standing above the barricades. That was a man who seemed not even to have started his twenties, an asian with very fair skin. He had an oval face with a lot of charm, short hair brushed back and brown light eyes.
Considering his physical appearance alone, no one would believe that he made Bruce leave with his tail between his legs. He was 1 foot smaller than him and had very light muscles.
However, his stern gaze, the dangerous sensation the spear in his hand gave and the blood on his shirt that didn't seem to bother him, showed that he wasn't the type of person who didn't know how to impose his will on others.
Ewan ignored the man's psychopath appearance and bowed down to thank him, ”He would have killed my sister without your intervention, thank you very much!” He shouted to be heard clearly. Deep down he was ashamed to have to thank someone for something he should have done himself.
*CLAP*
*CLAP*
*CLAP*
This sarcastic and intentionally ridiculous applause came from behind the barricades, ”Damn, he's going to make me cry. Not you, mate?” It was an robust yet enchanting male voice. The man talking hadn't the American accent, nor English it sounded like a Scotsman or an Irishman.
'Who is this asshole!?' Ewan was stung by this stranger reflexion but didn't voice it to prevent something like what happened to Judith from happening again.
The expression of the man with the spear grew gentler, ”I apologize in advance for the odious behavior my partner is going to have.” He turned to his partner who was visible only for him and apparently still behind the barricades, ”I'm warning you. I will not wait for you.”
Judith had separated from Josh and took a look at the man who had just saved her life. She was of course very grateful but there was something weird about this man, her instinct was screaming at her to put some distance with him, 'He gives me the same feeling as him.' The same uneasy feeling as the man she and her brothers had met at the gas station.
”Spread.” After saying that, the asian man disappeared in a green fog and reappeared 20 yards behind everyone.
Everyone noticed that he had teleported behind them and looked at him leave, they were wondering what he had just done.
”What's this?!”
”Awakenees can do that?!”
Except Ewan who was only paying attention to the man who was no longer behind, but in front of the barricades.
”If I was one of you, I would be ashamed.” Everyone was called out by the theatrical voice of the man from earlier, ”Not just by your weakness but also by your lack of balls.”
