Chapter 17
Attack


   Thud. Jaylynn's eyes fluttered open. 'Reven, quiet! You're going to wake the whole damn dorm up!' She inwardly growled before slipping out from under her lavender silk sheets. She whispered curses at the tall vamperic boy as the cold air clung to her bare skin. Both of her roommates were sound asleep. Amber was snoring softly, clutching the stuffed coyote Devlin had gotten her for Christmas and Terri had let out a sleepy sigh and rolled over onto her side. Jaylynn shook her head at them before stealthy tiptoeing out the door. She crept past Maybelle O'Conors, Apolonia Reyes and Mirium Kingston's room to the hall way's dead end. At the end of the halloway was a window, Jaylynn's ticket to the roof. She opened the window and swung herself into the air before flipping onto the roof like a gymnist.
  Suddenly a rocket was shot at her. Jaylynn quickly put up an energy shield, protecting herself from the rocket. Once making contact with the shield, the rocket broke the energy shield, shattering it to thousands of tiny pieces. Jaylynn froze. 'It broke my shield as if it was nothing. Damn that was powerful. What the hell am I dealing with?'
  The ebony haired girl suddenly notice the things that shot the rocket at her. She gasped, sallowing the urge to scream. 'Things' was a good word to describe them. They were like demonic hellion angels. Men with metal wings if they even could be considered men, they seemed too inhuman. Their faces were like hockey masks, bone white without mouths and a pair of glowing crimson blood eyes glared animalistically at her. One arm had large claws, sharper than knives. A taser gun above the claws, near the elbow. On the other arm was a rocket launcher along with some sort of harpoon. Their feet were like the feet of a bird of prey, long with razor sharp curled tallons, that looked more than ready to rip flesh.
   One emitted a large growl before swooping down at an almost impossible speed towards Jaylynn, who was caught by surprise. Jaylynn tried to dodge it, but only to find the flesh of her collarbone being ripped open. It's large tallons sank deeply into her shoulder. She let out a howl of pain and shot an energy blast at the beast. It dodged the first blast but the second blast caught it's wing and it let out a wounded growl.
   Another creature swooped at her, firing a series of rockets. Jaylynn dodged each rocket expertly with professional combination of flips and dives that could have won her a gold medal in the Olympics. She threw another energy blast and hit it square in the chest, sending it backwards into the other creature. Suddenly Jaylynn heard a low growl vocalize behind her. White hot pain seared through her body. The creature had dug it's claws from the base of her neck to the small of her back. She let out a loud cry of pain, before sending out a huge wave of black energy. She dropped her knees, breathing in swallow breaths. The hellion whined in pain and leapt towards the ebony haired girl. Jaylynn knew she couldn't dodge it in time and shut her eyes tightly, waiting for it's blow to her. Waiting for the pain to come.
   There was a crash and another pained growl sliced through the air. Nothing made contact with her skin. Slowly, Jaylynn opened her eyes. In front of her, stood Leon Samuels, grimacing down at the creature.
"Leon!" She said almost breathlessly. His blue eyes met the pools of emerald that belonged to the scarlet banged girl.
"You have a knack for getting into trouble, Jaylynn." He said with a sigh. Jaylynn mirrored his expression bitterly.
"It comes with the territory." Suddenly the hellish beast sprang up towards Jaylynn and Leon. It shot it's harpoon at Leon who dodged though there was a cry of pain coming from behind him and Leon's blue eyes went wide with knowing and fear.
"JAYLYNN!!!"
      Reven growled at Rick before kicking him in the face with a roadhouse kick. He pushed the blonde against the cememt wall.
"I have half the mind to suck you dry, you fucking dick!" Reven growled, his now black eyes narrowing into a deathy glare. Rick, unaffected by this, laughed malevolently.
"Ah, yes, suck me dry, cold one, it will only show the universe what a monster you truthfully are!" Reven faultered for a second and Rick punched him in the stomach.
"OOF!!" Reven was slammed by the force of the punch into two buildings. Reven wheezed. He shouldn't have taken on a Vicerian without drinking first. Reven hadn't tasted a drop of blood in a month and it was taking a toll on his body. He was weak.
"You digust me!" Rick growled, before pulling Reven out of the hole he made in the wall.
"You've become soft, like those pathetic humans and all because of that one stupid little girl. You are susposed to be the Center's Ultimate Weapon, but here you are, broken and beated." His blood red eyes glistened in malicious glee. Reven growled, barring his fangs.
"If Jaylynn is such a stupid little girl then how come you follow her around like a love sick little puppy, even though she never had feelings for you like she did for me?" Reven asked, enjoying the anger displayed on Rick's face. Reven's nails made contact with Rick's face. Oil waterfalling down from the slash. Rick yelped.
"You bastard." Reven pushed Rick off of him. He pulled the blonde up the shoulders and said:
"Ask the damn question!"
"Jaylynn Levin is the great grandaughter of Veradona of Anodine, the only being in the universe who knows where the Silver Prison Sphere is. Jaylynn has a close connection with Verdona and I wondered if Jaylynn was told of it's whereabouts." Reven threw Rick into the trash bin and scoffed.
"Pathetic. Stay where you are, I don't want the garbage men to miss Halloway's worst trash."
   Jaylynn screamed in pain. The harpoon had gone through her right calf and the pain was absolutely unbearable. The creature leapt towards Jaylynn, sensing her vunerable position. Leon slammed into using his super strength and smashing it into a brick wall. He ripped off it's wings and the hellion let out a cry of pain before falling and laying limp at Leon's feet. Leon kicked it away, hatred filling his azure eyes. The smell of oil filled the air and Jaylynn noticed a stream of oil going down Leon's arm.
"Leon...there's oil on your arm." Leon nodded and wiped the substance away. The oil still came down his arm. Leon traced the orgin to oil to...a cut on his arm. The oil was coming from his body! Jaylynn gasped.
"You...you're one of them!" Jaylynn tried to crawl away but the harpoon in her leg made it almost impossible to move, without a flash of unbearable pain rippling throughout her body.
"Jaylynn! No! Wait-"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" She hollared, flinching backwards. Leon stared at the stream of oil. Never in his life had he had an injury that he could remember. This cut, this little scratch had just ruined his life.
"Please!" Jaylynn moved backwards and her hand lost balance on ledge and she slipped backwards.
"JAYLYNN!!!!!" Leon screamed and used his incredible super speed to reach the ground before Jaylynn and catch her. Her eyes were closed.  'Oh no!' Leon cried inwardly, pressing his fingers against her neck. She still had a pulse, but it was weak. Unconscious. She was losing too much blood. The deep scratches on her shoulder and back as well as the harpoon in her leg, they were serious injuries that needed to be attended to.
"We need to get you to the imfirmary." Leon said to the unconscious enbony haired girl. He began walking towards the school. A mass of shadows formed infront of him, stopping Leon in his path and scaring him so badly he almost dropped Jaylynn. An angry Reven Shaden stood infront of him, his eyes almsot turning onyx again. Reven Shaden, the man that beat up his brother on a regular basis, Jaylynn's dragon-like guardian, the cold one, the person his brother told him never to face.
"WHAT DID YOU DO??!!" He thundered.
"Me? Nothing!"
"LIAR!! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR BROTHER, A VICERIAN SCUM!! I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU APART, OIL BLOOD!!!!"
"Vicerian?"
"An oil blooded sum like yourself." Reven said harshly, Leon flinched.
"I swear I did nothing! She was attacked on her dorm's roof! These metal angel things attacked." Reven narrowed his eyes.
"You mean Demissors."
"Demissors?"
"The worst type of Vicerian scum you can come cross, besides Blood Stokes. What! Big brother didn't teach you about your heritage!" Reven mocked. Leon snarled and dropped Jaylynn gently on the ground and slammed Reven against the wall.
"SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! WHERE IS MY BROTHER, YOU ASSHOLE?? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING HIM!! I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE CHRISTMAS!!" Reven narrowed his eyes.
"I haven't been keeping your brother anywhere. I ran into him tonight when I was keeping up on something. All I know was that he was terrorizing Jaylynn over Christmas break and he went to Viceria and became a monster like the rest of those metal scum bags."
"RICK WOULD NEVER DO THAT!! YOU'RE LYING!!" Reven rolled his eyes and said:
"Oh really. Then why don't you go up to Jaylynn's father, the infamous Kevin 11,000 and ask for yourself. As for the metal, go check the Halloway dumpster."
"Why are the Demissors going after her?" Leon asked, avoiding the subject of Rick. Reven might be telling the truth and maybe that's why Jaylynn freaked out about the oil.
"Because she is the great grandaughter of the keeper of the Silver Prison Sphere." Reven said, looking down at Jaylynn and taking her into his arms. He gave her an apologetic look and brushed a scarlet strand of hair of her face.
"I failed you, Jaylynn. The one night, I didn't protect you, you got hurt. I'm sorry." Reven whispered, kissing her forehead. Leon felt a pang of jealously hit his heart and asked, barely keeping his voice level:
"What does Jaylynn mean to you?" Reven narrowed his eyes.
"That's non of your business."
"Yeah, but it's mine." An angry voice said. Leon and Reven looked up to see Kade James flying towards them. He landed infront of them and folded his snowy white wings behind his back. Reven rolled his eyes.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Angel-boy."
