Blue wolf blade 16
== Prologue: shadows Fight ==
The Morning sun began to rise in New York City. The tall skyscrapers seemed to reach up to the heavens. The morning suns raise reflected off of the many windows that doubted the skyscrapers. Coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and The occasional bakery opened for the day. Cars drove by and Creatures walk to work or to school. All of them were oblivious of what was occurring on the rooftops above. Two figures stood There panting heavily. The much younger looking of the two, looked to be in his teens. 
He was wearing blue jeans with a black leather belt, Black sneakers and a dark blue shirt. On top of the blue shirt was a two tailed black hoodie. Currently the hood was over his head, concealing most of his face. The squirrel would’ve looked like your, every day teenager, if it wasn’t for the long double edged skinny sword in his hand. 
His opponent was a black cloaked creature. He couldn’t tell who or what he was. All that he new was that he was male and that he was getting tired. He grinded his teeth. he had to get out of here. His quick eyes caught a glimpse of something. Underneath his hood his eyes grew wide.
“Crud a gun, this is just my day.” He grumbled
“give, it, up, it isn’t worth it. With just a click, I can end you’re miserable little life.“ The creature said in a dark gravelly threatening voice
“ in your bloody dreams coward! It’s worth it to keep this away from you! You will just use it for your own selfish, stupid, reasons!”
“ if I have to grab it from your bleeding corpse, you piece of crow meat, then I will!“ He shouted back
BANG!
The young teenage squirrel had heard a gunshot, but it came from behind and not in front. The teen turned his body that way he was facing the new arrival and the other half was facing his opponent. It was… His mom.
What in the name of the great seven Kings is she doing here.
He glanced at his mother. She was not wearing her usual lawyers attire like she had been wearing earlier that morning when he had left. Instead she was wearing military boots, Black leather gloves over her hands and a pair of familiar high tech goggles. but this wasn’t the strangest thing that caught his attention. It was a familiar dark blue robe that she was wearing. It didn’t go all the way down in between her knees and feet. Instead it was knee-high and the same thing could be said about the dark midnight blue cape that was clasped on her back. Combined with the fact that she was holding a gun in her right hand, had a jetpack strapped on top of the Cape and not to mention the three pointed trident in her other hand. well this certainly completed the very odd look that his mother now possessed.
His mother looked at the gun then back at the stranger. She tossed the now useless weapon Behind her and off it fell from the building. 
“ so you’re now attacking teens, huh? i Didn’t expect any les of you. Pity I didn’t use my high teck gun. I should’ve known better that you were wearing a bulletproof suit, Maggett.” She said in an oddly calm tone. 
Then without warning she rushed forward. The stranger had his gun ready. He aimed and fired.
BANG!
But the mother squirrel kept on running. She felt the small cold metal sink into her chest. Only sheer willpower and determination kept her from collapsing. She threw her Trident aiming for his shoulder. One of the points made contact. The point sank into his shoulder, and buried itself into his flesh. He screamed with pain and rage. It felt like a giant tooth was sinking into his body. He poured the weapon out of his shoulder, with no indication that it herded at all. He tossed it aside and then he drew out a knife that he had hidden underneath his jacket. 
The two creatures collided with each other biting, scratching and punching. At one point while trying to keep the blade away from her chest, marcy somehow managed to get her jet pack off of her back. She swung it at his face, catching him off guard. The added wait Made her lean towards the far left. The black clothed stranger managed to stab her in the shoulder. Letting the jetpack fall on the ground she resumed to get Control of the knife. Time passed and the two were still trying to gain control over the knife. Unfortunately or fortunately whichever way you looked at it. The creature gained control of the knife. 
With three quick precise and painful stabs to the chest, he killed the female squirrel. Her brown eyes held a flame of defiance and determination. Her gray fur was dirty, caked in blood and messy. Marcys face twisted into agony and pain. Then she crumpled down onto the concrete roof, and she was dead. Slowly a pool of crimson red blood began to form around the motionless figure. 
While all of this was happening the teen squirrel began to slowly and as quietly as he could make his way towards the edge of the building. A six cents, which he knew to be the force, told him that someone was coming up to check on the noise. The black cloaked creature looked up and said. 
“ I have won boy, now give it here.”
The teen slowly brought out The object from his pocket. The creature glared at the squirrel, he was holding it over the edge of the building. With a calm voice of a young jinstar he said.
“inveniet, quod, unus, qui vitae, in tenebris, autem quod luk.”
Find, the, one, who lives, in darkness but is light.
Then he let the object fall far, far below. But the object didn’t hit the ground, instead it disappeared in a shower of golden dust. Back up on the rooftop. The teen slid his sword behind his back. With a dull flash that thankfully couldn’t be seen by his enemy. it turned back into a silver chain bracelet with a silver keychain of a sword. 
“until we meet again unknown one. I suggest you get out of here because if you want this little world of ours to be discovered by the mortals. then I suggest you flee like the coward you are.“
With that the squirrel leapt off of the building. By this point the streets were less busy than they were 30 minutes ago. Begrudgingly the creature took his enemies advice and disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Meanwhile the teen was still falling but he looked surprisingly calm. Using his six cents he slow down his progress as he got near to the ground. 
With his right wrist that didn’t have the silver chain bracelet. he began to tap on an Apple phone watch. Although unlike the normal phone watches this one had a few tweaks added to it. he looked around noticing that there were a few bystanders nearby. He quietly slipped into an empty alleyway where nobody could see him. With that he pressed a button on the side of the round screen.  
All at once a hologram of a cuckoo bird wearing a Black T-shirt with White writing that said. I love prison island, stamped in the front with big huge White letters, could be seen. She adjusted her glasses with her wing before speaking.
“Give me your location. Is there anybody around?“
The squirrel shook his head no, absentmindedly not really paying attention to his chatterbox friend. He absentmindedly gave the cuckoo bird his locations as if he done this a million times. which he felt like he had. he didn’t really have to  see what he was doing anymore.
“All right I got it. I’m already on my way. I had to convince my dad to let me borrow his Toyota, Geez, if I even get a single scratch he threatened…“
The gray squirrel rolled his eyes up to the sky as if seeking help. Unknowingly this day would bring a few creatures together that would start a chain reaction of events.
><><
Up on the rooftops a door opened. It was an otter security guard. The dark blue uniformed creature looked around for a few minutes taking in the corpse, dropped trident, gun and splattering of blood on the floor. He looked around a little while more. At last he spotted the security camera that had a clear view of the entire rooftop. 
He ran downstairs to his office and closed the door behind him. He sat down at his desk rewinding the cameras footage an hour ago. After looking over The video footage he made a few phone calls. After all he was the head of the New York police station. 
== Chapter 1: living with the devil ==
Beep, Beep, Beep 
The faint light of the sun streamed through thick curtains as an alarm clock could be heard in the empty apartment. Immediately a hand slammed quickly down on the alarm before it could make another beeping sound. The teenager lay there waiting to hear anything.  She was a light brown squirrel around 16 years old. Her hair was light orange that faded into yellow tips at the ends. Her sunset Phoenix-like eyes stirred up at the ceiling waiting and listening. She let out a quiet side of relief.
“He isn’t awake thank goodness.“ She whispered into the empty quiet 
Gingerly she changed out of her thin gray PJs. She slipped on A pair of bluejeans, a black long sleeve shirt and a baggie black hoodie with a silver zipper. She stood up and walked over to a small square desk with a brown stool underneath. She pulled The stool out and sat down. She laced up her gray sneakers and grabbed her brown backpack. She walked towards the door a Clear limp could be seen on the girls right leg. She took a deep breath before opening the door a crack. Not a sound could be heard except for the faint snores of the other occupant. 
She walked out of the safety of her room and was instantly met with the strong smell of alcohol. She walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. which was riddled with wine or liquor bottles. They were scattered everywhere on the floor, table, chairs and countertops. Stepping over some empty bottles she made her way towards the refrigerator. She opened it defined nothing at all. It was completely empty of any food. 
She ran a hand through her messy hair. She sighed in defeat and  mumbled. “I guess I’m gonna have to go hungry again. Maybe I could look around in the trash bins outside.” 
She wasn’t usually this desperate but desperate times call for desperate measures. She slowly began to make her way toward the living room which had the exit to the apartment. She made her way carefully dodging bottles that were on the floor. She began to very slowly make her way towards the door. She was aware of every sound. Her father was a black squirrel with even blacker eyes. Currently he was sprawled out on the couch, a wine bottle in hand. 
Please don’t wake up, please don’t wake up
She thought just as she was beginning to reach for the door handle. Then she heard someone getting up. Her pulse quicken, her breath caught in her throat and sheer panic began to settle her in stomach. She heard footsteps walking slowly towards her. She knew what was coming next. It happened nearly every Monday. But still that didn’t make it any easier, it always felt like the first time. 
A strong meaty hand grabbed her by the scruff of her neck. She new not to yell, not to scream and most importantly not to speak when spoken to. It would be far, far worse if she made a single sound. he turned her around that way she was facing him. He held her up in the air as if she were a rag-doll. Her eyes seemed empty of any emotion as if they’er was no hope. But behind the glassy eyed stare that she was giving him, there was a defiant glimmer of hope and reckless defines hidden deep inside. Although at this moment she felt absolutely nothing. she just waited for the pain to come.
“What do you have to stay for yourself.“ he said his voice a bit slurred from drinking so much
He noticed the bag which was still on her back. still speaking in the same slurred voice he continued
“ you better get me more drinks. Or else you know what’s coming, devil Spawn. “
She didn’t answer, she just nodded her head. But that was a mistake on her behalf. It was also in a way a blessing. Right then and there it felt more like a curse. He dropped her onto the ground. She scrambled for the doorway but then he grabbed her wrist. In a blind rage of drunk anger he swung the heavy glass bottle on to her left side. the bottle smashed into a million pieces. The young teen trade her hardest not to scream in pain, as the glass shards sank into her body.   
Without a second look back she unlocked the door and ran outside not even bothering to close it.  
Although unknown to her it would be the second to last time she would ever have to see that squirrel in her life again. This day was going to change everyone’s lives.
== Chapter 2: A gift and A not so normal day of school ==
To say that kilora was exhausted would be an understatement. Her legs were shaking. She was so hungry. The last meal that she could ever remember eating was the day before yesterday.
It’s a miracle that I’m still alive. She thought before wincing at the pressure that she was putting on her right foot. 
She walked along the streets for a while getting closer to Tails fly high, high school. True it was an odd name but it was a good school nonetheless. If you weren’t considered the loaner with the weird kids. She was just in the middle of passing an alleyway when something had caught her attention. It was not the tempting smell of Yesterday's half eaten restaurant food, but an odd glittering object. she walked towards it not knowing that, that one simple act would change her life forever.
As best as she could kilora Picked up the object. It was a silver chain necklace with a seven pointed flower that seemed to have fire dancing inside of it. The flower was made out of a diamond-like material. It was beautiful and odd all at once. She got an odd Sensation running through her body as soon as she picked it up.
Kilora looked around not wanting to take it. The necklace might belong to somebody. Besides it looked super expensive as if it had come out of a fairytale.
“At least you look as if you belong in a fairytale.” She whispered to the necklace
Immediately kilora clamp a hand over her mouth.
“Now I’m talking to necklaces. What has my life come to?”
She looked around once more before shrugging and clasping it around her neck. She tucked it away under her black hoodie before walking out of the alley. A few minutes later she was outside of a café that was very near her school, which was named Cat’s and coffee, coffee and cats. She looked down and spotted a rusty metal rod that was just as tall as her. It looked discarded and she decided to take it. Besides, no one would miss it anyway. She picked it up and began to use it as a sort of Walkingstick. Not more than five steps later a customer came out with a box full of a dozen donuts. 
Kilora pulled her hoodie lower over her face and gave a smile, that could only be described as trouble. She was known for her pickpocketing, unlocking Doors and thieving skills. Admittedly she use them quite often. Her so-called father didn’t care, but she did. She began to recite her rules in her head.
Steel if necessary, pickpocket when necessary, unlock Doors when necessary to help orphans escape from evil bad ladies, steal from evil bad ladies, tie up evil bad ladies and leave a note for officers with unconscious evil lady. Steal from good honest paying customers when necessary. If gone for more than a day without eating, steel.
She turned around and walked towards the customer. The mouse looked up at her. He was balancing the box with one hand in with the other was making a phone call.
Perfect 
“ Can I help you.“ He said distractedly
“ Thanks,“ she said before snatching the box out of his hand.
“Hey…”
She heard the Mouse call out to her but she was already on a roll, if a bit painfully. Kilora was limping along as fast as she could. She was really tired now but the metal rod did help her. Soon she spotted the row of trees that boarded the school property. Nearly all the kids were there. Everyone was either texting, taking selfies or doing whatever. Kilora looked around and spotted a raccoon with big round black glasses.
“Hey, Soren over here!” She called out
Soren, who was the comic and book nerd of the little band that he and kilora we’re in walked over to her. He waved in and out of the crowds of laughing and talking teenagers. She noticed that he was wearing a White hoodie, a Green plaid scarf, Green plaid beanie, Blue jeans and green sneakers. To complete the odd little look that Soren presented he had a book bag filled with what else but, books, comics, news articles, slung over one shoulder.
“ morning K.” He greeted, before noticing the large box of 12 donuts in her hand. “Oooo, donuts, do you mind if I have one?“
“Sure why not.” she said not really minding
“By the way have you seen bubbles by any chance?” 
Soren answered through a mouthful of a chocolate glazed doughnut.
“ bubbles I think he’s in the computer lab again.
“Figures” kilora mumbled 
“Come on.” said Soren “we’ve got history first Period, besides you know how Mr. Jimmy feels about late comers.“
soon the two best friends along with everybody else we’re on the way towards their first classes for the day. The school lawns were now empty of any occupants. A silver Toyota soon pulled up a few minutes later. A cuckoo bird with a light lemon yellow sweater, Forest green backpack and round black glasses came out, followed bye rabbit with a Yankees cap, blue jeans, hiking boots, and a Rose red sweatshirt. A gray squirrel hopped out of the vehicle soon afterwards. The three late comers looked at one another with uncertainty. 
“ Jin, Coco, I don’t like this.” said the rabbit
Coco agreed with her friend. “I’m surprised that she did not see us we were approximately 20 feet away from her. I was driving at a very slow rate…”
“English Coco” The hair said exasperated
“All, right piper, no need to get all fussy about it.” Said Coco
“Jin you’re awfully quiet”  replied piper to no one in particular
Jin shrugged. “I just can’t help but think about that squirrel. did you to even see the drops of blood and that she was limping. Not to mention she stole from someone and not to mention did you see her face, or what we could see of it.“
“Yeah, now that you mention it. she did look really pale.“ replied Coco in a softer tone
“I’m going to follow her after school today.“ Jin said decisively
Piper adjusted her Yankees cap before answering. ”Dude you’re going to be stocking her? OK, that’s a new low.“
“It isn’t stocking pipes, it’s making sure your fellow citizens are safe.“ he replied 
Piper rolled her yellow eyes. “Sure kid whatever helps you sleep at night.”
“Which would be a pretty girl.” Coco whispered in a singsong Tone
Jin Look at Coco in disbelief. His dark blue nearly black eyes flashed with annoyance. Then in a very calm threatening tone he said. 
“I. am not. thinking of her in .that. manner.”
Coco raised up her wings in surrender ”OK, OK, Jin, sorry about that.”
He just shrugged still a bit annoyed “Don’t worry about it, next time think before you speak Coco.”
The cuckoo bird nodded her head vigorously before adjusting her glasses. Jin still looked a bit peeved about the conversation but he let it slide, for now.
The gray squirrel shook his head. He wondered what even went on in that cuckoo birds mind in the first place.
Piper ignored the very awkward conversation to say the least. She zipped up her jacket before checking her own Apple watch.  Her yellow eyes went wide and she visibly gulped. 
“Oh crud oh crud we’re gonna be late.” She said running off into the building
Jin and Coco cringed after they checked their own watches then they ran off likewise.
><><
In a dark room a black figure could be seen sitting on a throne. In front of him Was a table with a dark purple silk tablecloth. On top of a pedestal that was made out of pure silver, was a crystal ball. It showed an image of the Young squirrel made picking up the amulet and putting it around her neck. The creature waved his hand The next image showed the squirrel made picking up the rusty old looking metal staff. 
“ sweet, sweet girl, you do not know what you have. “ The figures said In a silky smooth voice.
“Don't worry, the Night scale, unitaur and bix will not be keeping an eye on you for much longer. I will get what is rightfully mine“ He said while Clenching a fist
The figure drew out a black wand and with one simple flick it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
“GIIIF!” Yelled the figure
Across the black chamber which was the throne room, a pair of black wooden double doors opened up to reveal a small blue green scaled dragon stood in the entrance. He was smaller than most dragons and he was quite skittish. Gif walked towards is master. his legs shaking uncontrollably.
“Y, yo, you summoned m,me, lo, lord.”
“Yes I have.“ He said smoothly, “send out the blood dragons and general angriz. They’ll know what to do.” 
The small dragon looked horrified but nodded with his masters request. As soon as he stepped out of the throne room, gif collapsed with relief that he had survived another encounter with his master. 
“ it’s all right it’s all right, just get a big sweet delicious cup of coffee and you will be fine.“ he said although it came out less brave and more in between a sob and Panic. 
><><
Back in the throne room the creature grabbed a Golden framed photograph. He touched it with one of his hands. His dark blue nearly black eyes began to moisten with unshed tears of sadness and vengeance. 
“ Soon my dear Soon, I will bring you back. He will pay for what he has done to you.“
The figure set aside the framed photograph and land back against his throne. 
Soon he thought 
soon I will have my revenge
><><
Five more minutes kilora thought
She was sitting at the back of the classroom watching the clock while secretly eating a glazed doughnut. Unfortunately this was her last source of food until lunch. She inadvertently winced at the remaining shards of glass buried in her side. She was surprised that she hadn’t blacked out. Kilora rubbed her head wondering when this day would be over. Her right leg still throbbed with pain. During the weekend she had gotten her father angry once again.
“Don’t think about that, be grateful that you’re in school and far away from him.“ She whispered
“… And that is how the war ended…“
Kilora wasn’t really paying attention to Mr. Jimmy’s lesson. Normally she would, it helped her to ignore her injuries. But today she was in too much pain to even care.
DING, DING, DING!!
As soon as everybody heard the bell ring they all instantly got up. Everyone was pushing and shoving one another to get out of the classroom. kilora rolled her eyes and got up to join Soren who was in front of the classroom speaking to Mr. Jimmy.
They’re acting like a bunch of doofus’s, and they say I am an idiot. 
Kilora waited for Soren to finish speaking. She tuned back into the conversation. She was Kind of interested in what she needed to do for history homework.
“… Yes indeed work on pages 450 to 455…“
Then all of a sudden The loudspeakers came on interrupting Mr. Jimmy’s instructions and stopping every single teenager in their tracks. They’re were only morning announcements but whenever an announcement came on in between classes or in classes that could only mean one thing. Either they were having a drill of some sort or there was an emergency school assembly to be had.
“STUDENTS AND TEACHERS PLEASE REPORT TO THE AUDITORIUM IMMEDIATELY FOR AN EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY.”
Most of the student body groaned they did not like boring long assemblies. The others cheered there would be no classes for a while. After all of the teachers gathered up there students in more or less neat lines, All of them walked off towards the theater. Once The schools occupants got there everyone including the teachers chose to sit with whoever despite what classes they we’re in. 
Kilora and Soren managed to find seats next to bubbles there Mockingbird friend. Bubble sat next to Soren, Soren sat next to kilora, kilora found herself sitting right next to a gray squirrel, A rabbit with a Yankees cap and a cuckoo bird with a light yellow hoodie. 
><><
Jin found himself sitting right next to the squirrel that they had followed earlier that morning. He looked at his two best friends and said. 
“What do you think is going on?”
Coco just shrugged while piper stared at the figures on the stage
Coco noticed and asked. “Pipes what are you staring at?“
But her and Jin followed the rabbits gaze up to the stage and got their answer. Standing there was an other police officer along with another slightly chubby rabbit in the same uniform. In between them was a finely dressed gazelle with a no nonsense expression on her face.
Jin looked at piper quizzically. “Piper is that your older cousin up there?”
The rabbit nodded dumbly unable to look away.
Jin grew nervous, he glanced around making sure that nobody was watching him. Gratefully nobody seemed to be paying any attention to him. He slipped his hand into his shirt and pulled out a dark blue nearly black sapphire amulet in the shape of a dragon. Jins dark blue nearly black eyes were fixed upon the jewel. It was hanging by a black chain. The dragon head was raised up, its wings spread out, the tail was straight, the paws were in between the tail and on either side of his body as if he was swatting at the air.
Jin pressed the amulet to his chest and felt the familiar sensation of ancient draconic Magic running through his veins.
he was broken out of his thoughts by Miss Guinevere speaking.
><><
“ students today…“
But she was cut off by the still chatty students not really caring about the assembly. Miss Guinevere yelled in the microphone.
“ALL OF YOU SHUT UP, OR YOU'LL GET A MONTHS WORTH OF DETENTION!!”
The loud ear Deafening threat worked. the students immediately shut up.
“ students“ Miss. Guinevere continued “today to police officers came to me and showed me some interesting but disturbing footage. The Peacock news at 2 crew, kindly gave us permission to show you this footage before it. Shall be aired nationwide this evening.“
Piper, jin and Coco lucked at one another dread and whore written on their faces. The band of three friends had a sinking feeling of what they were about to witness.
All of the lights dimmed and the auditorium turn dark. The screen lit up it was footage from a security camera. 
It showed two figures on top of the rooftop. They were circling one another. One had a blade that seemed to have ghostly blue fires dancing on the blade. The other was closed in all black. it two had a blade except instead of Silver, it was a blood red color. Orange red flames dance on the steel. The two figures parried, clashed and Suong, then they separated. This continued for a few minutes before the black figure put away his blade. The figure Drew an odd symbol that was a blood red color. His hand then seemed to push the symbol away. A beam of black energy shot out toward the second figure. Swiftly The second figure leapt up 20 feet into the air and landed nimbly a few feet away. where he was just standing a few minutes ago. 
Jin flinched visibly. He knew what was coming next and yet it still felt like a dream. 
The two figures were now panting heavily. They seemed to be having a conversation of some sort. Though the video camera didn’t have any sound system whatsoever.
The black figure pulled out a gun, then another creature appeared caring a pistol in one hand and a trident in the other. The squirrel was decked out in very odd clothing. jin Heard some of the students whisper and snicker.
“Huh, what is this a prank or something.“
“I know right, it looks like it came from a movie.”
“I know, right it has to be special effects. Who could ever jump 20 feet into the air that’s ridiculous.“
“Forget about that, do you even see that squirrels get up. it’s pathetic.“
“Ridiculous, she’s some type of freak.”
Jin gripped the arms of his chair so tightly that he felt them beginning to crack. He felt the inside of his mouth beginning to change. He knew his eyes were changing, immediately he forced himself to calm down. 
Don’t get yourself all worked up. For nothing they’ll stop laughing soon.
The students who were snickering and making rude comments immediately stopped. when they saw what happened next.
The third newcomer threw away the useless weapon over the building and rushed at the creature. The black creature aimed and fired but the gray squirrel didn’t fall. She threw the trident at the creature's shoulder. The black figure drew out a knife. Soon the two were wrestling for control over the knife. The third figure after swinging a jet pack on to the creatures face was stabbed three times on the chest. The squirrel fell motionless. 
Everyone immediately stopped whispering and snickering. Piper and Coco looked at one another then back at Jin. Piper gave the gray squirrel a look that said you never told us this part of the story. Jin didn’t respond, his face was blank and a bit pale. Coco nudged the hair muttering. 
“Don’t push him about this. He’ll tell us when he’s ready besides watch what’s gonna happen next.“
They turned back to the screen. The second figure and the first now having a conversation of some sort, once again. The smaller of the two was holding an object over their building. The figure let the object fall, soon The first stranger followed. The black creature then disappeared and a puff of black smoke. 
The screen turned black and the lights turned on. Everybody immediately began to talk.
“ What was all of that?
“It was a movie clip you doofus.!”
“No, it was aliens we’re all going to die.“
“Johnny those weren’t aliens!”
“Oh yeah well they could be shape shifting aliens.“
At this Soren snorted and mumbled to kilora and bubbles. 
“Those weren’t aliens. If I know anything that was a combination of old medieval time magic and some type of modern day story, Combined into one.”
Miss Guinevere was now filming with rage. Some of the teachers were trying to calm down the students but with no luck. Deciding that yelling into the microphone again wouldn’t work she decided to raise up the volume.
Everyone in the auditorium clamped their hands over their ears. Once again that day the auditorium was silent thanks to the principal and microphone.
“ Now then I know all of you may have questions but let me say this once and only once. There is a murderer about these parts. The police force told me that this has been the 13th time that this figure killed a civilian near a security camera. As for the victim who died well… it was Marcy Clarissa night-sky.”
Miss Guinevere then stared straight at Jin. Who looked as if he wanted to die at that very moment.
“ I will be sending out emails and letters to your parents explaining the situation. I want all of you to go straight home after school.”
Piper, Coco and Jin looked at one another. Then piper said the next famous last words.
“Well… It’s not like things Could get any worse.“ Piper exclaimed
Jin turned her his eyes half open a frown upon his face. He raised up his hand beginning to countdown. 
Five, four, three, two …
KKABOOM! 
All of a sudden the front doors of the auditorium along with the wall surrounding it collapsed into pieces. The dust cleared and it revealed a large Group of around 40 dragon like creatures with black skails and 3 foot long  razor sharp teeth like those of a vampire. Standing in front of the army of evil dragons was a large Gray wolf with blood red robes.
aaaaaand scene. 
Finished jin in his head. He gave piper a I am going to kill you later look.
== Chapter 3: fight And following ==
To say that everyone freaked out would be an understatement. Teenagers screamed, Some hid under or behind their chairs. While others ran willy-nilly trying to find an exit. there were those who just sat on the floor crying awaiting their fate. And yet there were those who just stared at the Dragons in an odd trance like kilora and Bubbles.
As for Soren well… he went into geek mode. The raccoon turned his chair that way so it was facing the oncoming enemy. He sat down and began to sketch in his notebook while looking through another book full of mythical creatures.
Jin Side might as well get this over with.
“Dricono, Night scale unveil me!” He yelled out while holding the amulet out in front of him.
The amulet glowed and tendrils of light blue magic began weaving themselves around the gray squirrel's body. His clothing had changed. He was wearing dark blue Silk robes with black gloves and boots. A dark midnight blue cape Framed his figure like a shadow. A belt was around his waist with a star shaped buckle. Inside of it was a sword, the hilt was black, it had little fragments of crystal covering it and a small Silver round, stone on top. 
Jin soon felt and heard his body shifting. His eyes changed to those of a dragon. Black curved horns grew out between his ears. Jin opened his mouth, razor sharp fangs grew out of the top of his mouth. His back was also shifting to accommodate the black and dark blue dragon wings that protruded out. He felt the bones of his tail shift. No longer was it bushy or gray, instead it was now a long dark Blue scaly tail. 
Jin Crouch down and ran forward. His bones shifting in the process to accommodate his actions. Jin rushed forward knocking down students and chairs. A blood dragon appeared in front of him, his 3 foot long fangs gleamed in the auditorium light. 
A low growl emanated from The dragons throat. Jin glared and without a second thought pounced on his enemy. The two were rolling around biting and Trying to get at each other‘s necks. But soon jin got the upper hand. He was on top of his enemy. like before he did not hesitate and bit down hard on the creatures neck. 
Jin felt the blood gush out of the creatures neck. he raced up his head and snarled at a group of five other dragons, who were watching him. He licked his still wet bloodstained mouth. Then he charged once more into the battle.
><><
Piper watched the entire scene before her in a slight queasy state. She had never seen her friend fight in his hybrid form before. She only ever heard of stories of what halfling dragons could do when they were in these states. She shattered but piper knew that she had to fight.
“I am not about to have night sky take all the glory.“ 
She said before bringing out her own amulet which was a marble image of a unicorn running. It was connected to a silver chain.
“unitaur unveil me once more!” She shouted out
Like jin, Piper transformed. She still had on her rose colored hoodie, but the rest of her had changed. She looked normal all the way up to her waist but that’s where the whole normal factor stopped. The rest of her was no a white horse with black hooves and a silver tail. Slung onto her back was a quiver of arrows and a bow.  To complete pipers transformation was the long white glowing unicorn horn sticking out of her head.
She rose up on her hind hooves and beaded the air with her front ones.
“You good for nothing scaly idiots, you moronic dunderheads, you piece of crow crap!” She yelled out
Some nearby students stood there, their mouths dropped open in shock or dismay of what they had just seen and heard.  
Piper smirked “you never saw anything” she said in a mysterious voice
Then she turned back around and galloped forward an arrow already in her bow. She aimed and fired. straight for a Dragon’s chest. Piper didn’t wait to see if her arrow had reached its target. She galloped forward and hit two dragons squarely between their eyes. When she landed she heard the unmistakable sound of bones cracking.
“Don’t look down, don’t look down. you’re never going to look at breakfast burritos the same way ever again.“ She told herself
Note to self never eat breakfast before going to school, for the next few days
Piper shifted her gaze and spotted a few of the popular so-called kids. They were cornered against a wall while being surrounded by 10 blood dragons. She side, Piper really hated, no despised the popular kids. Jin was considered a popular kid in some cases. He was quite good looking for a squirrel. Piper shook her  head.
“ I hate my job, I hate popular kids.” she grumbled as she charged forward
><><
Coco watched her two friends fighting and side. The cuckoo bird was the brains of their little trio. but she wondered who was more stupider at this moment, Jin or piper.
The cuckoo bird shook her head. “Mentally argue with yourself later right now you need to engage yourself with the enemy.“
“bix unveil, the swarm!” Coco yelled out
Her amulet which was a simple round golden ball connected to a golden chain. Glowed with a soft light. Soon tiny balls of light appeared where Coco was just standing a few seconds ago. Coco could see everything and everyone all at the same time. The little light, which were in fact pixies and Coco. formed themselves into neet V-shaped battle formations.  
Then like a military officer she called out instructions.
“Squad 1, squad five engage battle with piper.
“Squad two and three engage with jin.“
“The half of you attack the back and middle ranks of the enemy. The rest of you protect the student body along with the teachers.“
They all responded as one “Yes ma’am!” 
><><
Kilora didn’t know what to think at this moment. She had just witnessed three students transform into mythical creatures, as Soren would put it. The raccoon was still sketching and looking through his books.
The brown squirrel turned her sunset gaze on him. “Soren why are you not freaking out?”
The raccoon looked up momentarily before looking back down and popping a cheese ball into his mouth. He responded while chewing. “Oh I’m definitely freaking out. I’m just a nervous eater and whenever I panic, I eat.”
Kilora Side and ran a hand through her Messi, tangled orange hair. She then fixed her gaze upon bubbles who looked at her with big brown eyes that said. what has my life come to. 
“ bubbles are you alright? you look as if you’re ready to faint.“ She stated 
The mockingbird gaped at her his mouth hanging wide open. “How are you not freaking out about this.“ 
She didn’t have an answer for that. If kilora was being true to herself, this all felt normal in a way. As if magic should exist, as if these dragons should exist. Well… Maybe not the evil looking dragons. 
“Earth to kilora is anybody home.” Bubbles called out
“Sorry, sorry.” She said. “in truth bubbles, I feel as if this is all normal, don’t you think?“
Bubbles looked ready to explode with a long list of reasons why magical creatures shouldn’t exist. At the same time he looked ready to faint and that’s exactly what he did.
Kilora had seen a lot of violence in her life, mainly in her personal life. but that didn’t stop her from feeling a bit terrified of these creatures. She reached up, unconsciously for the odd flour. which if she would’ve looked down at that moment. then she would’ve seen the flower glow an odd ethereal light. She merely looked on as the fighting continued. Earlier she had noticed a gray wolf, but she hadn’t seen him at all it was as if he’d just disappeared.
She blinked then as if appearing out of nowhere he was right in front of her not more than 20 feet away. Kilora looked at bubbles, who was still thankfully unconscious.
The blessed hacker would’ve had a heart attack if he were to see this, whatever this is.
She turned to Soren. Nebula to Souren Stranger alert, and when I mean stranger alert I mean the kind that just blew a hole through our schools auditorium.”
But the raccoon didn’t respond. Instead he was slumped over on his chair unconscious. She groaned as she noticed a metal flask full of some type of liquid laying nearby.
“Ugg, just my luck he gets knocked out with a Water bottle.“ She said exasperated
Swiftly she turned her attention to the figure who was walking towards her. She got a good look at him now. He was gray with brown eyes that looked none too friendly. He was caring a black staff with a glowing green emerald on top.
Kilora gripped her own Rusty Metal rod tightly. She didn’t know how useful this rod would be against this strangers dangerous weapon, but it was better than nothing.
“You will give it to me girl. I can make all of your suffering go away. just, hand me the necklace.” He said with a gravelly raspy voice
Kilora didn’t know why but she knew not to hand anything that she found this morning, over to this creep of an idiot. She caught him off guard by yelling
“NO, I WON'T!”
Then in a much more calmer voice she added. One, how can you make my suffering end, two, who the hell are you, three, I am not handing anything over to you ugly.“
general angriz snarled. How dear this girl defy him. The gray wolf examined the young squirrels face. His eyes flashed with momentary shock.
No… She can’t be…
Angriz shook his head. No matter he would kill this girl no questions asked. His staff glowed and crackled with energy. He raised up and aimed right for her chest.
Kilora felt a surge of urgency but it were more than that. She felt a sudden urge of pure hatred for this Wolf who was planning to kill her. She had, had about enough being everyone’s plaything.
“One whom you desired shall be thy death!” She yelled out but it sounded strange to her as if she were speaking in some old language.
She pointed the metal rod at the creature. All at once a burst of light enveloped the squirrel. Now no longer was she wearing a black hoodie or jeans. she was garbed in White robes with a silver cord strapped around her waist. Her hair was wavy and silky. Her eyes seemed to shine with pure magical fire. The staff had changed as well, it was red with a jagged crystal like stone at the end. It seemed as if it were made out of fire.
Kilora didn’t notice that the battle had stopped and that everybody was staring at her in disbelief. As she yelled out those odd words, which in her mind sounded normal. A blast of golden orange magic shot out of the end of the staff. 
angriz was stunned. But he had the good enough sense to form a Greenshield as the blast came at him. Unfortunately his magic could not compare to that of Kiloras own. Magic beam sent him flying backwards into a pile of rubble.
Coco, piper and Jin gaped at her in disbelief. All of them were thinking the same thing. we found her at last.
As quickly as the transformation came upon Kilora it ended. The odd spectacle of Magic that she had felt a minute ago, now left her like a dream. Kilora was very confused, exhausted and kind of curious. She sat back down on her chair which somehow had not toppled over or had been destroyed, during the attack.
Jin turned around and snarled. “Leave before I rip out your own throat, angriz…
“NOOOW! He roared
“Yeah.” Added piper “or else will kick your but into next year, along with you’re even stupider head!“
The gray wolf snarled and as he was leading his 10 remaining blood dragons out he yelled. 
“This isn’t the last you heard of me!! I will have my revenge, my master will have his…”
His threat was cut off by Coco who was still in her pixie swarm form, throw a chair at him and call out at is retreating figure.
“ useless and unnecessary threats will get you nowhere in this life, you carnivorous K9.” 
><><
The trio shifted back into their normal states and met for an emergency meeting. The trio huddled around their arms around one another’s shoulders, as they whispered.
“ do you guys have any forgetful dust?” Coco asked
“Nope” Jin and piper said in unison
“Besides we would need more than one dose of forgetful dust with this crowd.” Piper added after a moment
“I can’t believe I’m saying this but piper is right Coco. Besides I think it’s best that New York City does not forget this event. I mean can you just imagine the uproar this would cause once everybody regains their memory, one of these days. It would be catastrophic.“
The cuckoo bird frowned. “Fine” 
After the chaotic attack happened someone must’ve called 911 because all at once A crew of paramedics came in bearing stretchers or first aid kits. 
Quickly the trio wiped down any signs of blood or injury from any obvious body parts. The paramedics only checked on the students or staff who were critically injured. The rest would be sent off to the nurses office with some other volunteer medical students. The principal had decided to hand out letters explaining the situation later on that day once everybody, Who wasn’t injured began to leave the school building. 
><><
Kiloras P.O.V
After I received my letter from the principal. me, bubbles and Soren said goodbye before heading off. The two were thankfully not harmed during the attack. They only needed a few ice packs and that was around it.
As for me well my body still aches from this morning. But I couldn’t help thinking about that odd sensation of what I believe to be magic. I decided to think on this later on, at the moment I felt as if I was being watched.
“You’re being paranoid, nobody’s following you.” I told myself
I walked the few blocks from my school to my apartment building. I was dreading it. going home was just as bad as leaving. I felt as if I was forgetting something but I didn’t know what. soon I entered the main lobby, entered the elevator and pressed the button for the second floor. It felt too short in my opinion, the write up I mean. As the doors slit open. I walked slowly towards the door. 
Hello number 24. I thought
I put down my metal rod behind a potted plant, that was across from my apartment door. I opened the door and was greeted by the usual smell of alcohol or liquor. In truth I didn’t even care if there was a difference. Heck, I didn’t even know the difference between liquor and wine. if I was being honest. 
My dad stood there his black hair was sticking out in all different directions. His eyes were bloodshot and if I was being honest once again, they looked insane. I had a feeling that I was going to die today. I always say that but this time I really do think I’m going to die today. After all my school got attacked by a bunch of evil looking dragon type creatures along with a really kooky, mad wolf. 
But back on the topic at hand. I stared at him for a few minutes then he stepped forward and snarled.
“ Close the door devil spon, you d bring me any drinks. so now you’re going to pay the price.“
I did as he was told though I didn’t lock it. I was used to beatings but this one was probably the worst of all of them. If there was truly a hell and if there was truly a devil king, then I had a feeling that the so-called devil king was laughing at me.
He grabbed me by the front of my shirt and threw me against the living room wall. I heard my body make contact with the wall. I resisted to scream at that moment. Then he got a chair and proceeded to throw it at me as I struggled to stand up. I was knocked down again by the chair it hitt my chest and stomach. As if I hadn’t gone through enough. He picked me up once again and threw me at a pile of glass bottles. I heard the glass Break into a million pieces and sink into my skin. 
He proceeded to punch me in my face. After a few minutes of this he threw two glass bottles onto my face. I closed my eyes as they made contact with my skin. Somehow The shards didn’t touch my eyes. By this point I was numb from all of the torment that I was going through. He walked off leaving me lying there in the middle of the living room surrounded by broken shards of glass bottles. I thought my torment was finally, finally done. I was wrong.
He came back with a shovel. For a split moment my mind wondered where he had gotten the shovel. But that was quickly pushed aside as he brought down the metal part down on my legs, hard. I wasn’t completely numb, I could still feel my legs. If any bones were broken I would’ve felt the burning sensation. He stepped back and said,
“Get up abomination of life.“
I tried to get up but as soon as I did I crumpled back down. My legs felt like useless noodles. I heard him walk towards the kitchen. He came back with a knife. Anyway, I was going to die, this day. I was really and truly going to die. It was kind of ironic. I mean, I have friends yet, I’m going to die alone with the very creature who brought to me, my own little world of hell. 
Then I heard the door slam open. At this point I must’ve lost a lot of blood because I was beginning to grow unconscious. I heard somebody running and maybe hit my father. Somebody came over to me. They picked me up in they’re strong arms. 
Then I whispered “you… Saved… Me…wh…”
The last thing I saw before my world went black. Were a pair of dark blue nearly black eyes.
== Chapter 4: A rescue and an explanation ==
Jin walked out of the school. He and his two friends soon parted ways. Piper needed to have a little family discussion with her cousin, linze. As for Coco well she needed to get home to help her mom prepare dinner. Jin was not going to go home instead he was going to keep an eye on the girl that he had spotted earlier in the day.
He followed her for a few minutes until they reached a public part of the area. He had the good enough sense to know that if he was spotted following her then his plan would fail miserably. he looked around trying to find the best way to follow her, and to not be spotted by her or the public eye. He looked around then he spotted a fire escape leading up to the rooftop. Jin quietly climbed up onto the fire escape and followed the squirrel's progress, While leaping from roof to roof silent as ever. Soon they came upon a six story apartment complex. Jin climbed down from the building that he was currently on. 
Jin Walked over to the entrance and rubbed his chin in thought.
“So what level does she live in and whats her apartment number, anyway?“ He asked himself
He had a sinking feeling that something bad was happening at that moment. Then all of a sudden he felt the stars shift in the sky as if disturbed by a dark presents. 
><><
Jin’s P.O.V
My bad feeling wasn’t just a bad feeling. It was something that I’ve gotten used to during the last 10 years. Piper and Coco knew that I was good at fighting and being stealthy. What they didn’t know was that when I was around six years old an old jinstar cat named gray took me on as his apprentice. A year later after my apprenticeship had started he introduced me to another old friend of his named Fofo. She was a Sheepdog, she was an assassin born, bred and raised. Soon after years of training with both of them. I finally finished my lessons. 
I was quick, light on my feet and I had quick eyes. With half of me being dragon, my eyes were able to see in the dark perfectly as if it were day. not to mention I was able to see things that normal creatures couldn’t. To put it, my senses were 10 Fold more powerful than your average civilian. 
I looked up at the building still thinking of how I’m going to find that girl. I didn’t really know her name but she was actually kind of pretty. 
OK I’m not thinking of her in that way, whatsoever. 
I shook the thought away as I saw an image in my head. It was a thin golden crown with a four pointed Ruby at its Center, covered in blood.  
My mouth fell open in shock. I knew what a golden crown with a Ruby in the center represented. That was obvious as day to me. The phoenix king and queen had at one point lost a niece, right after the phoenix queen's brother and sister-in-law were killed in the battle of the elements. Some suspected that the young squirrel had bin murdered, while others said that she had disappeared into the mortal realm. 
If there’s one thing I knew about the seven kings, it was that all of them were not Immortal. Only the phoenix king was immortal along with the queen of course. But that’s not the point, the point is one of the kings, the dragon king, happens to be my father. Yes I am, Or was the third in line for the throne. My brother had decided to come with me to New York City. He became a lawyer and I was under his care until I turned of age which was 18. As for my second order brother well he gladly took on the role as the next air to the throne. 
I shook my head, I needed to stay focused and I needed to get up to the apartment building. I rummaged around in my pockets for a few minutes until I found a pair of black leather gloves. I slept them on and walked into the apartment complex. The lobby was simple enough it had a white marble floor with a big round green carpet at its center. Working at a large oval shaped desk was a mouse secretary. I walked over to her and got her attention by coughing.
She was brown with Grey eyes. She was wearing a secretaries suit. she had a pleased smile on her face.
“good afternoon sir can I help you with anything?“ She asked sweetly
“Yes, I am looking for a friend I’m supposed to be working on a project with her.“ I lied smoothly
The mouse merely raised up an eyebrow and nodded. “Do you know where she lives?”
I must’ve had that no I don’t know look, because she asked another question.
“Well then if you don’t know where she lives then can you kindly tell me what she looks like? I know every residence face here in this building. I have a photographic memory.”
I merely raised up an eyebrow as I gave my description of the girl.
“Hmm, brown squirrel, sunset phoenix like eyes, orange hair faded into gold at the ends, black hoodie and jeans. Oh, you must be looking for kilora, yes?”
I nodded, I needed to get to her fast. My vision was beginning to go blurry and for a split second, I felt my body burning with pain. I never felt this much pain in my life. It felt as if my body was being burnt from the inside out. I shook my head trying to clear it. As the secretary mouse spoke.
“ she lives on the second floor at number 24. Are you all right?“ She asked me
“Yeah I’m fine thanks miss.” I said hurriedly. 
I ran over to the elevator and literally slammed my fist against the up button. Thankfully, I Didn’t use my full strength or else I would have to explain quite a lot to the secretary. Personally I was not in the mood for explanations. As soon as the doors began to open I ran headlong inside. I pressed the number two button for the second floor. The elevator ride seemed to take forever. But finally I arrived at the second floor. As soon as the doors open I rushed outside. I looked around frantically where was 24?
Then I smelled something. It was alcohol but that was not the bad part. I also smelled blood and quite a lot of it in fact. I then spotted number 24, then I rushed in. 
What I saw next would be engraved in my mind for a very long time. A black squirrel who I presumed to be kiloras father, walked over towards her, a knife in his hand. I looked at her, she was covered in blood. So much of it in fact that I could barely distinguish her brown fur from the blood that was seeping out of multiple cuts on her skin. 
I felt my chain, which held my anger in check begin to Shudder. Without even thinking I rushed forward and using a quarter of my strength. I threw him against the opposite wall. I walked over and grabbed the knife out of his hand. I snapped it in half in my anger. I tossed the two broken pieces aside not caring where they fell in the apartment. I rushed over to kilora.
“ cursed the land of blackness and death.” I silently cursed
Gingerly I picked her up in my arms. I felt the warm sticky liquid of her blood seeping into my clothing as I held her close to me.
“you… Saved… Me…wh…”
She began but then she fell unconscious. I was wondering how I was going to get her out of here. without drawing any attention to myself. Not to mention how was i going to keep an eye on her father. I looked down to my right wrist which still had the Apple phone watch on it.
I side, I knew what I had to do. I shifted my weight that way. I was holding kilora in one arm. I shifted my way trying to keep my balance. After some time, I managed to get a hold of piper‘s number. I pressed the call button and a life-size hologram of my friend appeared in front of me.
><><
Piper walked away from her two friends. She dreaded the conversation that she was about to have with her older cousin. 
Linze stared at piper, Cooley as she leaned against her patrol car.
“Explain pipes”
Piper Rubbed her temple and side. “Where do I begin.”
Linze kept on staring at her. “Well I’m waiting.” she said Cooley
“Linze you can’t tell anybody and I mean anybody about this. For one thing if you do tell any of your officer buddies, you might as well get fired and the police force might think you have lost your mind. The second thing is we are letting all of these students and adults keep their memories because it’ll be a lot worse when everybody finds out permanently.“
“ So what went on in the auditorium? Do you even know those things? Was it all planned?“ she asked
“ No, our school got attacked by 40 evil dragons and one black mage. No, this wasn’t planned. Unfortunately yes we do know that evil black mage. He has been hunting me, Coco and Jin, but mainly Jin. He’s after two specific things, the dragon staff and the Phoenix amulet. If the wielders of these two objects are captured and their blood is placed on top of these powerful magical objects. then it can have very very dire consequences. As in the world ending consequences.“ Piper explained blowing out a long breath of air
Linze rubbed her head trying to take all of this information in. “So I can’t tell anybody even if your lives are in danger.”
“Pretty much and we practically live for danger.“” she replied before her Apple phone began to buzz with a phone call.
“Oh, it’s Jin.” she exclaimed. “I wonder what he wants.“ Piper thought before pressing the call button
A few minutes later a hologram of Jin appeared holding a squirrel in his arms. Before piper could ask anything or speak for that matter Jin spoke up.
“ Piper I know there’s a lot to explain and you're probably wondering why am I holding a girl in my arms. but that can be explained later in the hospital. I need at least two police officers, maybe more to come down to raspberry and Culver Avenue, now. Oh yeah, I’m also going to need an ambulance. As in an emergency ambulance, to the emergency hospital, now!“ Jin practically screamed this Last part. Then he hung up leaving piper very confused.
Linze nodded there would be plenty of time to talk later. She reached inside of her pocket, brought out her keys and unlocked her vehicle. Reaching inside she grabbed her radio. 
“Dispatch to bass one, dispatch to bass one, I need some back up at raspberry and Culver Avenue. I don’t know all the information but it looks dire. Also please contact the nearest ambulance in the area we will need to transfer a possible victim to the emergency hospital immediately.“
The radio crackold out for a few minutes before a response came through. “Dispatch to bass one we copy you. An ambulance and back up are already on their way.”
Linze turned to Piper and gestured for her to get into her vehicle. Piper blinked but did as she was totaled. Linze’s got into the driver seat, turned on the vehicle and made a U-turn and headed for the destination in mind. A few minutes later they arrived at the location. During the time that they were driving over there piper got a message telling her where Jin was.
Linze and her cousin got out of the vehicle.
“Piper stay outside, I don’t know what I’m getting myself into.“ She told her
Then the rabbit officer turned to two other officers who had just arrived on the scene and who happened to be roosters. 
“Officer atlas, officer cog, good to see you. Come on, we have no time to waste.” she said flatly 
Just as the three were walking in an ambulance pulled up. The passenger side door opened to reveal a Docksin getting out.
“Excuse me officer’s we were informed that there was an emergency here?“ The Docksin inquired
Linze nodded to her cousin. “Stay down here Piper, I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Crew let’s move out.“ She said turning back around and marching into the building.
“Hold on a minute causin!“ 
Piper called out, she ran up and handed the rabbit officer a piece of notebook paper which had the floor and apartment number written on it in messy handwriting. Linze smiled slightly,
“ Thanks pipes, now wait outside please.“
Piper nodded and rushed back outside. Soon the three officers were on the second floor. The rabbit and the 2 roosters Made their way costly towards number 24.
“Great mother turkey, that apartment reeks of alcohol.” Officer atlas commented while wrinkling up his beak in disgust.
“Cool it, this could be a dangerous situation we’re about to face. so shut your mouth up.” Officer Cog Said annoyed
Linze ignored the arguing pair and drew out her gun, she slammed into the door knocking it off of its hinges. Although Linze would on more then one occasion go to a fast food joint. She made that up with her strength. She burst inside the two officers not far behind. All three had drawn out their guns.
“This is the NYC police, put up your hands where we can see them!!” Linze barked out
“Huh, Lady cool it, will you. he’s conscious and where is the ambulance.“ A calm young teenager squirrel replied to the officers outburst.
The Rabbit cop was momentarily stunned. Standing right in front of her was a gray teenager squirrel holding a blood stained squirrel in his arms. He had a foot pressed firmly on the back of a black squirrel who was tied up and gagged. The captive was obviously conscious by the way he was struggling with his bonds. 
Jin smirked ever so slightly at the officers in front of him. 
“Can you get this psychopathic abuser out of my sight ma’am and once again where is the freaking ambulance.”
Linze blinked and nodded. “Atlas take these two down stairs now.”
The Rooster nodded and lead the two squirrels down stairs. On their way towards the elevator however Jin spotted something behind a potted plant. It was the Phoenix staff. Making sure the officer had his back turned to him. he quickly used the force and grabbed it, quickly pudding it away in a secret magical compartment in his jacket. 
><><
Once they reach ground level the officer quickly guided Jin over to the ambulance. where the doors were quickly opened by a beaver and the same Docksin from earlier. gingerly the two professional medix lifted kiloras unconscious form out of jinss arms and into a stretcher.
“You best come with us mate.“ The beaver said Jin who was usually calm and collected was surprised.
“Umm all right if you insist.“ He answered hesitantly. 
“ The reason we’re asking you to get in sir.“ Added the Docksin. “Is because she might wake up and it might be helpful to have a familiar face around.“
Jin nodded stupidly before turning to Piper who was looking at the scene with eyes as big as saucers.
“Piper contact Coco and tell her of what just happened. Also see if you can get contact with kiloras Friends. I’ll see you at the hospital.“ He called out as he clambered inside the ambulance.
Soon the ambulance was speeding off towards the hospital. Piper smacked her head with her hand and groaned.
“why do I get stuck with the dirty work.“ She complained before walking off and calling Coco.
Hidden in the shadows of the apartment complex, a pair of glowing dark green eyes stared at the rabbit as she walked off. Another pair of smaller stormy grey eyes opened wide and seemed to glance at the first figure. 
The figure stepped out of the shadows revealing himself to be a brown squirrel with black hair and dark green emerald eyes. He was wearing a dirty torn gray hoodie, black hiking boots and dirt covered baggy bluejeans. 
Perched on one shoulder was an odd creature. It had the body of a sugar glider and it’s gray eyes were large and round like those of an owl. Large tufts of feathers stuck out of its head, which were in fact the creatures ears, on its back where a pair of black wings which folded on either side of the tiny creature like a large cloake. It’s 2 foot long fluffy tail wrapped around it’s Masters shoulders.
The squirrel blink calmly at the rabbits retreating figure. He stroked the odd creature's Black furred, head calmly. The creatures gray eyes shined with pleasure as it’s master stroked its head.
The squirrel nodded. “Yes, indeed, she’s been found and he is not far behind. It’s just like the brizcka said. Let’s go, our past is about to come full circle.”
The squirrel turned around and walked towards the end of the block. He crossed the street and began to make his way towards the hospital while singing an odd hauntingly beautiful song.
“Ever wander, ever wander
Let the years oh let the decades
Pass on, pass on,
The kings still roams this land,
Somewhere beyond, beyond
Souls of living, souls of dead,
follow on, follow on
Those who lay they’re gaze on this sight 
Bad luck, miss fortune will have they 
until they die, until they die
Ever wander, ever wander
Evernight, evernight
In mind thou shall grow older 
In body ever young
Ever wander, ever wander
Until the day thy past returns
One Final time
Free shell you’ll be 
To go where you please
Ever wander, ever wander
== Chapter 5: of healing and a safe home ==
Piper Brought out her phone and called Coco.
“Hello”
“Hey Coco… Umm… Jin went to the hospital with the girl that we saw earlier today.“
“Wait a minute, backtrack, backtrack. fill me in what has happened. what do you mean by the hospital?!”
“Jin said that he’ll explain once we arrive there.“
“ I’ll ask my mom to pick you up.”
“ Great are you coming?“
“Yeah, did he say anything else?”
“Yup, he said to contact Kiloras Friends. At least I think that’s what he said.“
“ Great i’ll find their numbers in my school yearbook.“
“ wait school yearbook?”
“Yeah I asked for everybody’s phone numbers and surprisingly most of them, gave them to me. With their names of course next to the numbers.“
“ i’m not gonna ask how that happened. So see you in a few minutes.?“
“Yeah 15 minutes tops, bye.”
“Bye”
The rabbit hung up and shoved her phone into her jacket pocket. A few minutes later the same silver Toyota from earlier drove up and stopped at the sidewalk. Coco‘s mother, along with Coco and a Mockingbird and raccoon. We’re all inside the vehicle. Piper opened the backseat and got in. 
“ so Coco about our conversation from earlier I have a few more questions.“
“Shoot.” Said the cuckoo bird while playing Minecraft.
“How do you know that these are killer as friends?“ Asked piper
“You know we’re right here.“ Commented Soren
“Yeah,“ agreed bubbles
“Oh, I’ve seen them hang around kilora a bunch of times at school.“ She said as if it were obvious
“Yeah, plus we told her that where kiloras Friends when she asked us if we were her friends.” Bubbles added after a moment
“All right? I guess that makes sense.“
Bubble snorted, ”nothing today makes any sense one minute we are doing whatever any of us do after school at home, and the next we find out that our friend was nearly murdered by a psychopath. Oh and did you forget to mention that our school was attacked.”
“ all right bubbles we get the chest.”  Soren said irritated
“All right kids we’re here.“ Coco‘s mother announced as she parked the car.
Once everybody got out of the car,a black limo drove up and parked right next to them. The driver, who was a black lab, walked over and opened the back passenger side door. A dark gray squirrel with Brown eyes and neatly combed black hair stepped out of the limo. 
He was wearing a crisp black suit with a white shirt underneath and a Black bow tie. He smiled warmly at the teenagers and walked over to them. He was holding a briefcase in one of his hands.
Coco‘s mother stepped in between the kids and the stranger. As he got near her. Coco smacked her face with her wing and utter embarrassment. Sometimes she wondered if this was even her actual mother.
The dark gray squirrel smiled warmly at the cuckoo bird in front of him. Not in the least surprised that she was in front of a bunch of teenagers.
“ good afternoon Miss,“ the squirrel politely graded. “My name is shadow night sky, i’m Jins older brother.”
Coco‘s mother looks stunned. “Y y your, thee shadow Myers night sky!”
She exclaimed squealing so loudly that the others including shadow had to cover their ears. Once Coco‘s mother had calm down somewhat she introduced herself.
“My name is Amelia, it is an honor to meet you.” She gushed
Shadow nodded curtly to Amelia. “Do you mind waiting out here miss? I shall take the children inside I need to discuss some matters with them. Do not worry they are not in trouble.“
“All right… Sir. Just make sure they don’t get into any trouble.“ Amelia said a bit worried.
“Don’t worry I will.“ He said as he beckoned the teenagers to follow him.
“Hey, we’re not children you know.“ Piper said indignantly after they were out of ear shot
Shadow chuckled. “Yes I know. Coco, piper I believe you might want to explain a few things to our new friends.”
He nodded to bubbles and Soren. Who looked as if they wanted answers.
“Well all right, I guess, we should explain since you did see everything.” Piper exclaimed
Shadow nodded once again and the small group walked inside the waiting room. The four teenagers walked over to an empty row of chairs and sat down. Coco and piper began to explain a few things to Soren and bubbles.
An otter was typing something on her computer when she looked up to see shadow in front of her.
“ hello sir how can I help you today.“
“ yes, hello Miss, is there a kilora here?” He asked
The brown otters black eyes grew wide with worry as nodded.
“ yes she is but I will need some identification before I can give any further information.“ She explained
Shadow pulled out his ID and showed it to her. 
“I am her lawyer for the upcoming trial. my brothers with her.“
“Oh yes, they arrived not an hour ago. Currently she’s going through surgery. An officer just came in not 30 minutes ago and he is currently questioning your brother, I believe.“
Shadow side “I see, may I have a clipboard please I need to do some work.“
A few minutes later she handed a clipboard to him and he took it gratefully. Shadow walked over and sat down across from the four teenagers who were still discussing today's earlier events. He placed his briefcase on his lap and opened it. Pulled out a few documents, place them on the clipboard and began to write. 
Time passed and shadow was done with his work. He looked up at the clock and realized that 30 minutes had passed. The four teenagers were playing on their phones looking really bored after their conversation. Coco looked up and asked,
“ when are you gonna leave?“
Shadow raised an eyebrow. “Well, I figured you would’ve gone to your mother and asked her to drop off you and your friends. I am nearly here to pick up my brother.“ 
Piper looked up just then overhearing their conversation. Her right eye twitched for an instant. then she said in a dead pan voice. 
“ you mean to tell me, that we could’ve had dinner, a half an hour ago instead of sitting on our butts doing absolutely nothing.” 
“ yes“ shadow smoothly responded 
piper looked as if she wanted to punch somebody. instead she grabbed Soren and bubbles and dragged them, literally out of their chairs and out the front door. 
Coco gave a sheepish smile and said in a serious tone.
“ never have piper miss a meal, ever.”
Then she too walked out the door.Shadow his shook head. He Waited a little while longer then Jin and a police officer came out of a side door.
Shadow stood up and hugged his brother once he got near. He looked over his brother's shoulder and nodded to the police officer. The otter did likewise and walked out of the hospital. Once the two brothers broke apart, shadow placed both of his hands on his brother's shoulders.
“Jin how are you doing today… With everything going on?”
The team just shrugged as if he didn’t care. “I’m still trying to get over moms death and… kilora… She’s doing all right, I guess…“
He side and nodded understandomg a bit of what his brother was going through. He too was also trying to deal with their mothers recent and shocking death.
Jin took a shaky breath before speaking. “The doctors said to me that she’ll be in the hospital for around a month. They have allowed me special permission to visit her while she is in the trauma room tomorrow.”
“ anything else?” shadow softly asked
“ yeah, they told me this before telling her. I guess… She’s not gonna be able to walk anymore. They said that… She’s going to have to be in a wheelchair… For the rest of her life…“
Shadow hissed, he never knew that it was that extreme.
“ let’s go home kid Molly is making dinner it’s lasagna tonight.“ he said trying to be cheerful but ultimately failing.
“ no thanks bro,” Jin said in a deadpan voice. “I’m going to walk home. I’ll see you there soon, don’t worry.”
with that said the gray squirrel pulled up his black hoodie over his face zipped up his jacket and walked out of the hospital. Shadow handed the clipboard back to the other and soon followed his brother. He shook his head once more.
One minute his brother could be so emotionally sad and the next he’s playing the Lone wolf. Shadow didn’t understand Half of the things that went through his brothers head but he still loved Jin nun the less. He got into the limo and ned drove him home.

One week later:
It has been an entire week ever since kilora had escaped her old life. It had been an entire week that she was stuck in the hospital. On one hand there was no homework that she needed to do. on the other she was dying of absolute boredom just lying there in the hospital bed. She was broken out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. She turned her gaze upon the closed door, staring at it for what seemed like an eternity. 
Without waiting for a response a Swan doctor came in, followed bye jin and shadow. 
“ i’ll leave you three to talk I have other patients to look after.“ She explained as she walked out and close the door behind her.
“ don’t ask, I already know what you’re going to asked. They told me last night and in truth I’m not surprised that shovel was pretty big after all.”
Kiloras Voice still sounded hollow as if there was no emotion in the young squirrel. The two squirrel siblings shifted in comfortably in their seats. Shadow then cleared his throat and spoke up.
“Well… I have signed some papers and just turned them in to the town Hall two days back. I just got word that they approve of me being your guardian. You just need to sign the papers that you agree with this.“ He stated Simply  
She turned her head to stare at them and then ever so gingerly she sat up. She held out a shaky hand and nodded to shadow.  
“Well, I might as well sign them. I mean from what I heard the orphanages are just as terrible as my original life.“ she said giving them a weak smile. 
Shadow bling and then handed her an envelope containing the documents.
