Of Angels and Demons

Getting Stronger Starts Now! [Chapter 4]

I slowly sit up in my bed and looks at my clock.

Ugh, I overslept. It's 9 am.

I think as I slowly get out of bed. I slowly walk downstairs.

I guess mom had to work the morning shift at Night-Tec.

I sit down and grab a poptart from the box.

Last night was weird. I wonder how everyone is doing.

I think while I open the poptart wrapper and slowly eat it. I finish and start walking back to my room. Halfway up the stairs the door knob starts clinking.

Someone's trying to get in.

I quickly run to my room and grab my machete from under my bed. As I run downstairs to the door it stops clinking.

What are they doing out there.

All of a sudden I hear the tv come on in the living room in the next room over.

Did they come in a window?!

I slowly walk to the doorway and see someone with a hoodie on sitting on the couch watching cartoons. I slowly walk up behind them and ready my machete. I quickly pull it back and swing it. Right as its about to hit the person they reach up with their left hand and stop the blade.

Whatha hell!?

The person sighs and turns around

"Kai, didn't you learn last night I can stop blades with my hand. And Zero's blade was far stronger than this weak machete."

Aziria says as she squeezes the blade of the machete and breaks it.

"Oh, h-hey."

I mumble.

"Sorry for swinging my machete at you."

She shakes her head. She quickly reaches toward me and grabs me by the collar of my shirt.

"Swing at me again and I will hurt you."

She says smiling evily.

"U-understood."

I murmur, she pushes me away.

"Why weren't you in the bus this morning?"

She asks.

"I overslept."

I reply, she sighs again. I quickly speak up.

"Wait!? How did you get in here."

She stares at me blankly.

"I teleported inside."

"You can teleport?!"

I yell. She jumps back.

"Yea."

Why does everyone have cool powers?!

She blankly stares at me for a moment.

"Where's your true weapon?"

She asks.

"Huh? True weapon?"

I reply. She rubs the back of her neck.

"You know, the weapon you have that can transform when you channel energy into it. Like how Zero's blade gets bigger the more energy he channels into it."

She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small knife.

"This is my true weapon."

I blankly stare at the pathetic knife.
