The Panther Mage Mate

BEGINNING

CHAPTER TWO

(ANNA)

The orientation program was longer than I expected, and I was starving when it was over, so I went to the faculty restaurant for lunch.

After that I went to the administration office to complete my registration which I didn’t finish yesterday due to time, I have every intention of completing the registration today and mark that off my list of things to do.

Finishing up with my registration a few hours later, I went to the bus station to get a bus to my apartment, I smile to myself thinking of my new apartment, since moving in last week Friday I’ve manage to set the place up a little, getting everything that I will need, I’ve been able to get new bed, couch, and a mini flat-screen TV and some kitchen utensils, so far things are looking good.

When I got to my apartment it was late, the time was 7’oclock so I switch on the TV to watch my favorite TV show but the noise and sound I was hearing was disturbing me from focusing on the show so I went to check it out, what I saw was surprising and I couldn’t believe my eyes at first, there is no way this can be happening in the middle of New York and in the 21st century at that, they must be shooting a fighting scene for a movie.

I look around for any sign of the other crew members but I didn’t see any so I kept watching, there were two groups of people fighting brutally with swords and the slashes and blood I saw on them make me believe maybe it might be a real fight, I watch as one group was gaining on the other but what shock me out of my trance and got me moving before I knew it was the leading group pushing out a pregnant woman with a little boy by her side in between them and pointing a sword at her in an attempt attack, within minute I was at the mouth of the alley, that’s when I start questioning my stupid move.

“What can I achieve by coming down here? wont I just get myself killed?”.

I think the best thing to do in this kind of situation is to call the police.” I put my hand in my pocket that’s when I realize that I left my phone in my room and on my rush to the alley I forgot to bring it with me so I hid behind a dumpster to see the situation before I make any drastic move because I don’t think my years of self-defense training prepare me for a sword fight.

As a guy from group A which I have decided to call the group that was about to attack the woman swing his sword again to cut off the woman head, a red hair guy with giant frame from group B shot out his hand, a yellowish glow knock out the sword from the guy that was about to attack and everything turn to chaos, both groups started to attack each other fiercely with fire and glow shooting out of each group members hand I was surprise at the scene before me, if I was told something like this exist I would probably think the person was crazy but here I am witnessing the impossible.

In the middle of the chaos the woman and her son manage to get out from the middle of the fight unscattered, on her attempt to escape another guy saw her and walk towards her direction with a sword raise, I threw caution to the wind and run towards the sword I saw on the ground, picking it up I rush toward the woman, as the guy was about to attack I block the attack with the sword with me it make a clashing sound that momentarily got my ear ringing but I took my stand and block the woman with my body. I turn toward the woman with an urgency.

“Go, run, I can’t believe they were about to kill a pregnant woman and her little boy, no matter what her crime was beheading her wasn’t supposed to be the solution and definitely not behind my apartment how am I supposed to explain it to the police when they found her dead body the next day.”

“You really have a gut human, what did you think you can do with that? he said pointing to the sword I was holding, kill me? I don’t think so, you humans are so foolish thinking you are strong and courageous, well I don’t have a problem with taking you out and going after that bitch.”

“Oh dude, you will have to pass through me to get to her, I may be human but I’m not a murderer like you who want to kill a pregnant woman and her son, what are you waiting for? Come at me.”

He swing the blade in an arc motion and aim for my head but my sword met his, the impact was brutal and he kept coming at me from different angles, I kept dodging each attack, the look on his face was furious, I was also amaze at myself I have no idea I will be this good at sword fighting what an epiphany, as he try to lunch his next move I spin around then swing my blade low to s***h his left leg, the look on his face was priceless I bet he wasn’t expecting the little human to be a good fighter, what an asshole, I might not be a master fighter or anything close to that but I can pretty much handle myself in a difficult situation, as he move closer I brace myself and deliver a strong punch to his gut and follow it with a spin kick on his face.

“You, crazy girl, I’ve had enough of this nonsense as he raised his hand up to blast me a girl knock him out with a blast of her own.”

“That was very courageous of you, joining in on a fight you know nothing about without fearing for your life.”

“I just can’t stand and watch a pregnant woman beheaded.”

“Still that was brave of you to do, but am very sorry we have to wipe this evening encounter from your memories, humans are not supposed to know about us, not to talk about getting in the middle of our fight.”

“I understand, in fact I don’t mind it at all, I will feel better and sleep well not knowing what I saw tonight exist in the world, because I don’t think I will be able to look at the world the same way anymore and I don’t want to come off as paranoid to people around me.”

“Alright then, with that she moves closer and place both hand on each side of my face, the last thing I remember before passing out was the genuine smile on her face.
