Alister dodged the man's attack then slammed the hilt of his blade into his stomach.  Moving past him, Alister lunged at the boy. He grabbed his weapon and fired a few shots but Alister easily dodged and counterattack, severing his arm. The boy screamed and thrashed against the floor clutching his bleeding wound.

From behind, a large stake pierced his shoulder. Pain radiated through his body but quickly passed as it was surpassed by his blood lust. His vision blurred and redden as he stared at the girl. He swung his blade, slitting the girl's throat. She dropped dead on the floor as he turned his attention to the leader who cowered on the floor.

Alister licked his lips as he walked towards the man. “NO NO PLEASE NO DON’T KILL ME!” He screamed.

Alister started at the man feeling no remorse. He held his blade ready to strike when a wave of dizziness washed over him. Pain surges through his head as he dropped to his knees screaming. “Kill…kill…kill,” those words echoed through his head like a deafening roar. 

“NO,” Alister screamed as the pain intensified until he finally broke and his instinct took control. Without human conscious, his body moved to kill like a rabbit animal. He walked over to the leader who still begged for his life. With a devilish grin on his face, he pricked the man’s arm. He looked confused for a moment before agony filled his face as thousands of barbed spike exploded from his body. He then stood up to finish off the boy.

“Goodnight my troublesome little child,” Vanessa said appearing behind Alister. Before he could react, she forced his body to sleep. She caught him as he fell and laid him carefully on the ground. Once he was fully asleep she pulled out the stake in his shoulder and threw it aside. His face was filled with pain as his wound slowly starts to heal. Her heart broke watching him in that state but her magic couldn’t help him.

“Why are you such trouble,” she mumbled before turning to watch Drake and his attackers.

“I was only kiddin’. Well, he did get me killed but that was all in the past. Don't be too hard on him. He’s still figuring out the world,” Valeria said. She patted Andrew on the head with a caring smile then cleared her throat. “So why are we here exactly?”
