Book 3: Chapter 9: Fracture at the Station Part I

Scarlet

After finishing off the last demon, I turn around to find Blaze standing at the entrance of the building with his eyes alit with flames. And its only now that I realize the flames have small flickers of black in them.

Interesting. Guess thats what sets his flames apart from regular flames in terms of appearance.

Anyways, I turn around to check on the Class I Guardian, only to find him sitting on his rear with his arms on the ground behind him.

Whats he doing on the ground? Actually, doesnt matter.

He looks fine. And so do the others.

Kind of surprised no one was hurt, but now I should bring them to a bunker.

Hey, do any of you know where the closest bunker is? I ask the civilians, and the Class I Guardian. And fortunately, one of them quickly answers me, pointing in the direction of the hallway that was on the other side of the room from them as the demons. Which brings my attention to a bunker that I really shouldve seen before asking that.

Guess they were rather close to making it.

Unfortunate for them that they were cut off by those demons.

What are you all waiting for then? I hear Blazes voice from the door, bringing my attention to the man to find him frowning at the civilians. And without any more hesitation, the civilians all rush over to the bunker with the Class I Guardian, who gives the typical hand sign to let them in.

The Guardian hesitates for a moment at the door before calling out to us, Thank you! and going inside, the bunker door closing behind him.

Shit.

He slowly walks backwards into the other car, taking advantage of how the fomorian is looking out the window and not at him to slowly make his escape. All while occasionally glancing at the door to make sure any other humans or fomorians didnt make it inside the train.

Why did the train door open and shut anyways? Is it broken?

Arthur puts that thought to the back of his mind though when he passes through the door of the car and it closes in front of him, immediately catching the attention of the fomorian in the process. But with the door shut, Arthur begins to run through the car towards the other end of it, only hearing the door behind him getting slammed into after hes already at the other side of the car.

But the door on the other end does not open when he tries.

Are you kidding me?! Now my luck runs out!?

Arthur slams on the door a few times, but no matter what he does, it doesnt budge. So he turns around to find the door on the other end slowly beginning to dent from the fomorians attacks.

This isnt good if only Belle or Scarlet were here.

The mans face morphs into a grimace.

Damnit, I hate being weak!

Greetings, human, a voice suddenly echoes in his head before a miniature wolf appears floating in the air in front of him, making him blink for a moment. Would you like to-

Yes! Arthur shouts, understanding immediately what it is and not giving it the time to finish asking.
