Joss: Shit shit shit!

(Joss bites his wrist and blood came. He puts it near her mouth.)

Joss: This will sting a little.

(The blood entered, and Joss guided it, closing all the hemorrhages on her way. Anastacya arrives with Merlin and Shion. The scene looks grim and as Anastacya watches the poor girl she screams at Joss)

Anastacya: You fucking bastard! What have you done to her?! You really are the worst you fucking pig! You should-

(Merlin interrupts her again)

Merlin: Refrain of talking Anastacya!

(Merlin dives in quickly to look at the girl)

Merlin: Good thinking boy. These waters will heal her slowly. Also, with the help of your blood, it will be faster. Anastacya, come here, you will perform the healing technique.

Anastacya: But Merlin, this-this-

Merlin: Just shut up and do what I say! (She turns to Joss) Leave her with me and go outside. Shion (she turns to Shion) escort Joss outside.

(Joss hands the girl to Merlin while Anastacya enters the body of water with disgust in her eyes towards Joss. Both males await outside while Merlin and Anastacya perform the healing.)

Anastacya: Merlin! This is...she isn't a normal girl...she is a-

Merlin: A Semifer.

Anastacya: I haven't healed something like her before.

Merlin: Just remember, she looks like a beast, but her anatomy is just like any human. Calm yourself and treat her like you would treat Shion or the villagers.

(With doubt in her, Anastacya began the treatment)

(Joss and Shion went outside. Joss threw himself in the grass while Shion watched closely.)

Joss: Seriously, why all the shit always lands on me? Why do I have the short straw on everything?

(As Joss was feeling down, Shion approaches him)

Shion: Maybe...Don't think it is something bad.

(Joss turns his head and looks at Shion straight to his eyes)

Shion: W-what I meant was that you can't look at it always with an anguish or sad expression. Look, you saved that girl's life. She is alive because of you. Merlin and Anastacya are going to bring her back to health. I can promise you that for sure. (He softly punches his chest) You did nothing wrong. Merlin and I knows it. Besides, you don't look like a bad guy at all.

(Joss cracks a little smile)

Joss: Yeah, maybe you are right.

(Both smiled. In that instant, Merlin comes out of the house)

Merlin: Gentlemen, the patient lives.

(Joss' eyes were filled with joy and hope)

Merlin: You can come inside now.

(They both entered the house and Joss ran to the pond. Near it was a room with a bed and besides it was incense candles. Anastacya was outside with a gloomy look. Joss ran and went in quickly. The girl's swollen face went down. She opens her eyes with almost all her strength. Both eyes, of the creature and man shared a mysterious light. The little creature let out some words.)

Girl: Jo..ss....save...m..friends...

Joss: What?

(In that moment, the girl fell unconscious.)

Merlin: Let her rest. She did a splendid job surviving so far. She needs to regain her strength.

(Joss exits the room. Anastacya was waiting for him.)

Anastacya: Hey...ummm... I... I wanted to apologize for the way I treated you. I'm sorry, I'm really am.

(Joss gives a fake smile)

Joss: It's ok, I understand that the scene was not a happy one.

(A brief and awkward moment flew by)

Joss: Hey Anastacya, is slavery common in these places?

Anastacya: Well yes. This is not the capital, were there are guards everywhere. Once you set foot outside, you're in a different world. You must survive by your own. For that reason, most people stay within the city walls, where they are safe. Why do you ask? Where do you found this girl?

Joss: Oh her...she was outside the town, laying there. I picked her up and went here but there was no one. Another question, do in this place exits traffickers?

Anastacya: Yes, and many! One of the heads is called Mr. Gold. He is a notorious man known for kidnapping kids and very rare creatures alike. He haves a band of 100 mercenaries with great skills and powers. Nobody can bring him to justice because he always disappears and appears in different places. Why you ask?

Joss (smiles): Oh, no reason at all. I think I will go to town for some herbs and potions.

(Joss exits Merlin's house with an ominous look)

(After 30 minutes of walking, Joss founds the camp. In was almost nightfall. Strangely, at that hour, the camp changed to a little town composed of six houses. Joss stands at the entrance and spots Gold. He walks slowly but steady towards him. Gold notices him.)

Mr. Gold: Hey, look who it is! My little girl lover!

(When there is but little space between them, Joss sprints but it's stomped on the ground by a strange man)

Man: Little sucker thought could harm Gold.

Mr. Gold: What? But he bought something not so long ago!

(The man picks up Joss. Both stared into each other's eyes.)

Man: Those are the eyes of someone who wants to kill. You couldn't hide your bloodlust boy.

(He slams Joss into the ground)

Man: Mr. Gold, I recommend that you leave immediately and let me "educate" this young man.

Joss: UGH (spits blood)

Joss (through his mind): Cerberus, find the girls and take them out of here!

Cerberus: Kid, we need to go! You will not last long enough. You are no hero. Let someone else take care of this. All this isn't your job or place!

Joss: I can't Cer, she plead for help, the same as Wendy and you. I cannot leave them. Just go and find them, now!

(Cerberus moves through the shadows into one of the houses)

Mr. Gold: Ok Cervantes! Take care of him. I will go with the merchandise.

(Gold enters one of the houses to the right. Joss unhands himself from Cervantes and takes a fighting stance.)

Cervantes: Oh? At least you have some fighting spirit in you. Come, I will show you hell.

(Joss makes two blood daggers and rushes towards Cervantes with high speed.)

Cervantes: What the---

(With great agility, Joss moves and closes into Cervantes. A moment of silence. Cervantes smiles)

Cervantes: I don't know what you are or how you fight, but you ain't going to put a mark in ol' Cervantes!

Joss: What?!

(In that moment, Cervantes chest was filled with copper.)

Cervantes: I can manipulate this baby here. You are young and naive, and that's gonna cost ya.

(He punches Joss left side, broking 4 ribs and throwing him backwards. Cerberus appears behind them, in the entrance with children of different ages and races.)

Cerberus: JOSS!!!

(Joss vision begins to blur as he coughs blood. Cerberus moves to aid him but is impaled by a light beam.)

Cerberus: Wha?

(Gold comes out of one of the houses)

Gold: The girls aren't in the safe house!

(A voice from nowhere appears)

???: They are at the entrance. It seems this guy's pet was taking them to the city nearby but I, the great Nima took care of it.

Gold: YES! (With an evil smile)

(The rest of the men began to exit from the houses)

Man #1: What is happening?

Man #2: Some punk thought he could get out with the merchandise!

(All began to laugh. Cervantes walks towards Cerberus.)

Cervantes: Cool puppy, but it is worthless.

(He throws Cerberus into one of the houses to the left, shattering the windows. Gold walks to where the dying man is)

Mr. Gold: You think you can come and steal what is rightfully mine? Heh? HEH?!

(He spits Joss' face)

Mr. Gold: Kill 'im.

Cervantes: You got it boss.

(Cervantes begins to walk towards Joss. In his last breaths, Joss saw a small figure lay beside him. He knows who is, although he tries to deny it. Time seemed to stop, and she talked.)

Amy: Do you want it to end?

(She stares at the sky, then looked straight at Joss' eyes.)

(Almost unconscious, Joss tries to move.)

Joss (in his mind): I am incapable of doing such thing...

Amy: And I asked if you wanted to end, not if you can or can't.

(Joss looks down for a moment. Amy swiftly and kindly touches his face)

Joss: No. I don't want it to end!

(Amy grins)

Amy: What are you willing to give for power?

(Mere seconds pass in silence)

Joss: I would give everything! If it means that I could save their lives, I'm willing to give anything and everything!!!

Amy: That's the answer I was looking to hear.

(She grabs his wrist and cuts it. Then a single drop of blood falls in her index finger.)

Amy: I will need this to materialize in this world.

(Amy lick the finger with blood and with a big smile, she begins to walk)

Amy: Do you remember the tune of that song? The one that was very catchy?

(The iris in Joss' eyes fade. Amy knelt and kissed him in the lips.)

Amy: Of course, you know it well.

(The grey world from the inside of Joss became normal, time returned. A strange song began to play, all the men are in confusion searching from where it comes.)

Man #1: What is that music?

Man #2: It is strange?

(Cervantes stops and looks around. Nima searches the houses with is magic. From nowhere, Amy appears in front of the fallen cursed male.)

Amy: It has been soooo much time.

(Cervantes notices Amy)

Cervantes: Hey little girl, where did you came? It will be good if you went with your other friends. This is no place for little kids to wander.

(She shares a smile)

Amy: It seems you are having trouble mister. Want me to lend a hand?

(She takes out a hand, and waves at him. Cervantes stares confused. He knows that hand. When he looks down, he notices that his hand is missing. Blood began to gush out of the hole from his missing hand. All the men are astonished by the current events. Amy walks nonchalantly to where Cerberus was.)

Amy: Cerberus (with a commanding voice) come.

(From the rubbers of the destroyed house, a great shadow came. Cerberus form changed. He was pitch black, flaming red eyes, sharp fangs and claws. She pets the dark creature.)

Amy: It's time to eat!

(Cerberus let out a horrid howl. There is silence in the atmosphere.)

Man #1: What the actual fuck?! That chick is really crazy right?

(When the man turns, he sees his companion without his head. Blood began to fly out. His body falls.)

Man #1: WHAT THE HELL?!

(He hears some noise and when he turns to his right, a creature with red eyes lurked around. From there, a gray wolf jumped and with sharp fangs, sunken it and teared the jugular. Blood was everywhere. All the men began to panic. Whilst Amy giggles at such spectacle. From Cerberus shadow, began to raise different races and varieties of canines. Wolfs, dingos, foxes, dogs, they were hideous and ferocious.)

Amy: From generations, man always hunted you in these lands. It is your time, to be the hunters little fellas. Now, devour!

(All the creature began to run and to kill the mercenaries. Some tried to escape the town but outside were horned wolfs. It was a bloodbath. Cervantes glare at Amy.)

Amy: This is the hell you promised?

(She vanishes and appears in front of him.)

Amy: Let me tell you a little secret (she gets near his ear) This is not hell, I will show you the true form.

(She then rips off his left ear. He falls to the ground and with extreme pain began to curse Amy. The girl laughs with blood in her mouth.)

Cervantes: YOU FUCKING BITCH! I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!

(Amy chuckles. She squats down near him. He waited and with a fast move, pierced her chest.)

Cervantes: I got you know!!!

(Amy began to scream. Then she laughed)

Amy: Your hand is soooo deep.

(She then gets near and plucks both of Cervante's eyes. He keeps cursing in pain while trying to cover his eyes. She then stands and cuts his right feet with a blood scythe.)

Amy: Now, run.

(Cervantes tries to crawl, but Amy follows him, until she gets bored.)

Amy: I expected more. Oh well!

(Some foxes appeared and took a feast upon the fallen mercenary while Amy danced to the tune in her head in ecstasy.)
