8 Trial (1/2)

warning-attempted **** mention

Making a series of hand signs she spoke a final word to the chants, as soon as this word left her lips the Kong's of black light expanded into a dome covering the house.

The dome quickly became transparent with a slight warp but not enough that one would notice if they didn't know to look for it.

Getting off the ground she dusted her hands and said ”there it is done” turning her back to the house she walked down the street as her back began to bugle near her shoulder blades, if anyone had been around to see two beautiful large crimson wing slip out of unnoticeable sits in the back of her top.

The wings shook them self a bit before spreading them self to their full length and started to flap, the wing started to increase in speed when she bent her legs than with a leap she took off to who knows where.

With Sam he didn't notice much he felt a spike in energy but that was pretty common on the island even if he couldn't tell you what kind of energy, he remembered when he first got to the island how the slightest spike would put him on high alert for the rest of the week.

After finishing his sandwich and chips he grabbed a glass of water to wash it down and walked over to the living room couch he used the remote app on his bracelet to turn on the 20-inch hollow screen tv.

He surfed the channels a bit and found something to watch it was a decent reboot of an old cartoon after about ten minutes he got up off the couch and walked over to the fridge, he didn't open it he just grabbed the folded piece of paper and went back to the couch. Laying on the couch he unfolded the paper and looked at the chores his mother had left him, a glance told it was just the usual wash the dishes he used, take the garbage to be energized, check up on Tyrone, etc.

Even though he knew and understood why she left a list, but it still annoyed him. A smirk showed itself on his lips as an idea appeared in his mind going over to the sink he held the paper over it before he drew the spark rune on it. Summing the required mana from within himself he activated the rune and watch as the paper sparked and caught fire.

Letting go of the burning paper he watched a bit as it turned to as before he turned on the water to douse the flame and let the remains go down the drain. Turning off the water he started to walk back to the couch so he watches the show that from what he could tell was reaching its climax someone knocked on the door, and if sam recalled correctly this kind of knocking was of someone who was in a panic.

Slowly walking to the door, he began to draw the only battle rune he knew. When he arrived at the door he activated the runes on the door frame to turn the door into a one-way mirror was surprised to see a woman on the other side but his surprise turn to worry when he saw the state she was in.

Her hair from what from sam could teel used to be in a simple braid had come partially undone, her make had become smudged they it does when one get into a fight, there was a couple of scratches on her, she was wearing a torn one pieces blue and green summer dress, there were some forming bruises all over her arms, with the way her dress was torn at the bottom front and in the chest area sam could tell someone tried to **** her, amazingly her high heels wear still on and in one piece.

Putting his head on the door sam considered if he should open the door and help. If he did he would invite trouble into his house and the only reason his parents let him stay behind this year if he stays out of trouble at least enough that the police didn't get involved again. But if he didn't open the door who knows what will happen to her and it will because of him, he knows without a doubt he will regret that. He closed his eyes for a moment and took a breath there was no going back after he did this.

Taking his head off the door he turns of the runes and . . .

Unlocked the door.

”I already have too many regrets in life, I don't wish to add more”

When he opened the door the women on the other side froze Sam wasn't sure if it was in surprise or fear. But he didn't worry about it.

”Are you coming in?” he asked stepping to the side, she blinked before speed walked inside, ”you can take a seat on the coach if you like” he suggested pointing the way she thought about it for a moment before she took a seat farthest from him and wrapped her arms around herself rubbing her arm trying to find warmth.

Sam said nothing, after closing the door, he turns and walked into the kitchen, he opens the cabinet with his collection of tea leaves, he decided to make a night mint lemon balm tea for his guest he knew it would help her calm down from his own experience.

Setting a kettle of water to boil and preparing a cup for her, Sam went to the closet next to the stairs and pulled out one of the thick soft blankets (he noted it was Christmas themed) and silently placed it on the couch. He walked back to the kitchen and to a seat at the table.

A bit of time went by before the kettle had started to whistle, Sam, moved over to the stove and turned it off. Placing the needed leaves into the cup he pours the boiling water in the cup a let them seeped until it was just right.

Removing the leaves Sam carefully bright the tea over and set it down in front of her.

”This should help you calm down and if you feel like it, you can tell me what happened and what you want to do next”

She said nothing for a moment as she tasted her tea and seemed to like as she immediately drank more.

”I was attacked as you can see by some random guy on the streets on my way to a date with my boyfriend. He was a lost. I knocked him out easily enough but more lost came at me I was outnumbered so I ran through the city being attacked by more lost and running into other people until I made my way here and I could not run anymore after losing them. I choose your house because it was the only one with the lights on.”

As she spoke Sam could tell she was telling the truth but that didn't mean he thought a few things she was saying were strange, like what were the lost, and why was she walking to her date he dress was from what Sam could tell was worth a pretty penny so unless she wasted all her money on it she should be able to afford a care or can if she didn't like to drive, another thing she ran across the city that was kind of impossible especially if she was running away from someone.
