Age 1990Maudite suddenly hit the floor as she fell away from Hero. She wrapped her arms around her side as a red light exploded out of her, then it quickly began to shrink getting smaller and smaller as her red eyes and highlights faded back into a simple blue.
"What the h.e.l.l was that!" Irene yelled out in shock.
"A super Attribute!" Kitsune stated also in shock as he stared at the girl.
"What happened!" Ken asked running over to the girl"s side and trying to help her up. "Maudite?" The girl broke out int a coughing fit as the blue light around her crackled and spluttered slightly before fading away.
"I-I"m sorry!" Maudite said quickly as she shivered slightly. "I wasn"t able to find him... His mind was just so... So weird? And broken? I don"t even know what I was looking at in there?"

"His mind? What?" Ken looked over to Hero who was still unconscious.
"His fevers gone?" Irene said in confusion. "Whatever you did seemed to at least help him? Even if it was a little." Irene said nodding her head.
"Okay... Now I"ll ask what we are all thinking!" Kitsune said looking at Maudite. "What the h.e.l.l was that!" He shouted out grabbing the girl and shaking her.
"Umm..." Maudite inched away as she shook slightly. "It"s kind of hard to explain... I don"t really know what to call it..."
"Well start talking!" Jackson announced. Everyone stopped suddenly as they all turned to see the front door was now open and Jackson now stood in the doorway. The Vice-Captain walked forward as he glanced down at Hero. "I was just told that there is a chance there is a Nest nearby, then I found out this is supposedly all being caused by a Witch and next thing I know I feel a tremendous amount of Mantra, and as I come running over here I see a d.a.m.n blue, and red light show going off!" He stated as he threw his arms out. "I"m freaking out and Katrina is definitely gonna kill me when we get back!" He yelled out.
"I umm..." Maudite shook slightly as she nervously stepped back.
"So start talking!" Jackson said pointing at the girl.
"Well..."
"Leave her alone!" Ken stated stepping out in front of the shaking girl. "She"s shaking, and freaking out, and I don"t know if you"ve noticed, but she"s a twelve-year-old girl. Stop pushing her and I"m sure she"ll explain..." Ken turned to the twelve-year-old girl as she gave her a slight smile. "Right?" She questioned.
"Yes..." Maudite said quietly as she glanced down.
Everyone took a deep breath as the room slowly settled down. A nice calm silence filled the room as everything slowed down. Then in an instant, the silence was blasted away when the door was kicked in and a large man carrying several bags of vegetable came in.
"Father Darvin told me to come bring you all-" The man stopped as his eyes locked onto Maudite. "Witch!" He screamed out pointing at the girl. He backed away slightly as he glared at her. "You aren"t supposed to be here! Go rot away like the rest of your kind!" He announced.
Everyone froze slightly as the man shouted out still glaring at her. Then before anyone else could react Maudite was up and out the door in seconds.
"Maudite!" Ken yelled out following after the girl. "You still have my jacket!" She screamed out as she chased after the twelve-year-old.
The man watched the two exit as he took a deep breath. He turned around about to leave as well only to feel a hand grip his shoulder tightly. He turned finding Jackson Storm cracking a slight smile as his electric blue eyes cracked and sparked with electricity.
"Alright, pal..." Jackson said pulling the man closer. "How about you start explaining somethings?"
Meanwhile outside Maudite ran as fast as she could towards the village exit. "Just leave me alone!" She yelled out as she ran faster.
"That"s it... Run... That"s all you know how to do after all! You"re nothing without me. Nothing but a coward!"
Maudite closed her eyes as she blindly ran. She tried to ignore the voice in her head as Ken chased after her.
"Seriously! It"s freezing out here! Let"s just go inside!" Ken yelled out as she made a grab for the girl. Maudite jumped forward avoiding the grab as the two continued to run.
"Just go away!"
"No! I"m an Enforcer, which means being stubborn and not giving up!" Ken shouted out.
The two managed to run outside of the village as Maudite pa.s.sed by the gates. "Stop chasing me!"
"It"s dangerous out here! There could be a Bestia Macht that was left out of the horde and survived! You shouldn"t be outside of the gates-" Ken jumped forward managing to wrap her arms around the girl as the two tumbled forward rolling to a stop in the ice. "Ha! Caught you! Good luck getting me off of you-"
There was a bright blue flash as Ken was suddenly thrown into the air.
"What!" Ken yelled out as she came crashing down hitting the ice. "Oww!"
"I am so sorry!" Maudite said in horror as she realized what she did. "I promise I didn"t mean to!" She yelled out running to the girl"s side.
"It"s fine," Ken said reaching out and grabbing the girl"s arm. "But seriously! It"s freezing out here. You need to get inside... Please?"
"I was trying to tell you guys earlier... The village doesn"t want me to be inside..." Maudite said slowly trying to pull away.
"Well, I don"t care what the village thinks..." Ken stated not letting go of the girl"s arm. "I"m an Enforcer. It"s my job to protect people like you. No matter what I won"t just sit around and let you get hurt!"
"You... You won"t..."
"I won"t."
"That"s the nicest thing anyone has ever-"
Ken grabbed the girl suddenly spinning her around and throwing her straight into the wooden wall of the village. Maudite hit the wall with a heavy thud as she fell down into the ice.
Meanwhile back in the Villiage Jackson shoved the man up against the wall. "Okay look. It"s been a long day- Wow... It"s only been a day... d.a.m.n? And I am more confused then I thought I was." Jackson said narrowing his eyes. "So look. It"s time some things are explained okay..." He stated.
The man nodded his head vigorously as lighting danced off of Jackson shocking him slightly.
"First question. Is there really a Nest?" Jackson asked.
"Yes!" The man said nodding his head. "I as well as a few others were sent out a while ago to find it! I saw it with my own eyes! I can show you the location."
"Good. Now what the h.e.l.l is up with that Witch nonsense?" Jackson questioned.
The man gave a shrug but quickly began speaking when Jackson shoved him into the wall again. "Okay! Okay! Look. I honestly don"t know a lot... None of us really know except Father Darvin... What we do know though is that, that girl is an outsider. Father Darvin took her in when she was younger... But that girl..." He shivered slightly. "She"s pure evil... She has an On Type Attribute... That means her Attribute can"t be turned off, and is always on at all times. In here we normally wouldn"t mind even though we are against Attributes, but her particular ability is bad..."
"Bad?"
"Bad."
"Explain..."
"Father Darvin used to let her stay with him but eight years ago he kicked her out. We all saw it in her. That girl is a demon... Something is wrong with her... We never saw a Bestia Macht since this village was built but the day we took her in they started showing up... It was small at first. Usually, they wouldn"t do anything but last month something happened... That girl failed at doing the job we gave her... We let her stay as long as she does her work. But this day she failed. She ended up threatening us and out if defense one of us threw a rock at her... When we did something happened..."
"Okay..." Jackson said raising an eye in confusion. "What happened..."
"She caught it... And her eyes... They became the eyes of a demon... She fought back. Nearly killed the poor b.a.s.t.a.r.d who threw the rock at her... Father Darvin came out and said a prayer and in a flash of blue light, she went back to normal... After that day we started getting attack by more and more monsters... Some people also say they started seeing her talk to herself... Now, do you see why we don"t like her!"
"Relax." Jackson hissed out letting go of the man. "That girl isn"t a witch... Magic isn"t real after all. I"m sure all that happened was that she unlocked her Attribute to its full power. Though I still don"t know why you guys suddenly got attack by Bestia Machts..." Jackson dropped the man to the ground as he turned around. "I"m gonna go get Ken... You stay here and keep an eye on Hero."
"So just do what we"ve been doing..." Cloud said.
"Yep!"
Meanwhile back outside blood dripped down Ken"s arm as she gritted her teeth. Maudite stared in a mix of horror and shock as she stared up.
In front of her, Ken stood. The small girl"s arm was raised up as a Bestia Machts teeth were lodged around her arm as it bit down pushing her back in the snow. Ken gritted her teeth as she glowed red.
"That was too close! If I didn"t throw you back this thing would"ve bitten your head off!" Ken hissed out slightly as she glanced over to Maudite. "Are you okay?"
"Don"t ask that question when a Bestia Macht is chewing into your arm!" Maudite yelled out in horror.
"Don"t worry... This beast is nothing... He"s just a Baron level, Bestia Macht." Ken gasped out. Even though she was trying to be strong this was beyond a tremendous amount of pain, as the monster bit down harder. It let out a growl but Ken simply growled back. The smaller girl suddenly fell back dragging the monster with her. She raised her arm up as she actually lifted the entire creature up while her own back was now in the snow. Then she brought her up back slamming the monster down. She pulled down as hard as she could as she ripped off the things lower jaw.
"Whoa..." Maudite said in shock as she watched the monster die. "She"s so strong..."
"You"re stronger..."
Mausite shook her head as she ran over to Ken"s arm. "Your hurt..." She stated staring down at the bite mark in the girl"s arm.
"It"s fine..." Ken said as she tried to pull away from the twelve-year-old.
"No, it"s not... Here... let me..." A blue aura covered Maudite as Ken"s body lit up. "I tried to heal your friend back there and wake him up but... Well, his mind attacked me. Just close your eyes and try to be calm and I can heal you..."
Ken nodded her head as she let out a hiss. Her eyes squeezed tight from pain as her entire arm began to burn. Slowly the flesh on her arm began to heal and mend itself back together... "That"s so cool... What is your Attribute?"
"It"s kind of hard to explain..." Maudite said shyly as she looked down. "Basically I can-"
"Hey, guys!" Jackson called out appearing suddenly.
"G.o.d d.a.m.n it, Jackson, you always show up at the worst possible time..." Ken said letting out a huff.
Maudite gave a small smile. "I can tell you later... That is... If we can talk again..."
"Of course we can," Ken said nodding her head. "After all you"re coming inside with us."
"Oh what now you want me to babysit another kid that isn"t even mine!" Jackson said throwing his arms up. Ken shot him a glare as he stepped back. "I mean... Sure girl whose name I forgot... Why don"t you hang out with us until we finish this G.o.d d.a.m.n mission... I swear to G.o.d next thing I know there is gonna be a Prince... Oh c.r.a.p. I shouldn"t joke around... I could die today..."
"Come on," Ken said standing up as she held her hand out. "Let"s head inside."
Maudite smiled slightly as she nodded her head. "Okay..."
