Chapter 9: The Danger (II).
Francisca's POV
What does he mean by doing something at night that his brother doesn't know?
"Don't tell me you're doing dirty things at your age, didn't your mother ever tell you to respect girls?" I clenched my teeth in reply, glaring in anger but still I feel bad for him.
Clearly, the only person he seems to have left is his brother being involved in human kidnapping and trafficking from the looks of it.
"Why are you making a face like you're taking pity on me."
"Well give me your name and I might consider telling you why."
"Well you're awfully calm even in this situation, I'm certainly impressed. Normally kids would just cry for help or scream." He smiles looking over me and then he tells me his name. "Okay then the name's John."
So his name is john I wonder what's his after because of watching numerous movies bandits would just abuse or torture the victim but he's doing nothing. Just.... Talking.
"I hope you're telling the truth, John. If that is your real name." I tell him and he laughs.
"So tell me why." (John) insists, and I did as he told me.
"You're being treated poorly by your older brother, abused and treated like a punching bag. How can I not pity you?"
"You're pretty sharp for a five year old." He grabs my hand and takes my sharp stone and begins cutting the rope tied onto me.
Wait what?
"Hold on, you're helping me?"
"Because this is what I do at night. When brother kidnaps people and when I have the chance I help them escape and this is what I do every time brother sleeps." He continued cutting the rope until I could feel my hands loosening.
If he does this every night then that means-
"That means you get punished every time you let people escape."
John shrugs his hands hurrying on cutting the rope even more. "Yeah I'm used to it... it's not like I wanted to be a part of this- children like you especially need to go. My brother- doesn't care for age."
My hair stood up after hearing that I've really been captured by someone so merciless, a monster. The luck I have was certainly horrible- I have to get Glenn and Audrey out here asap.
Schik!
The sound of the rope falling out of my wrist was heard. John was satisfied with his work and stood up.
"And there we go. Help your other friends while I-"
John didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because he was punched to the wall by that ugly man.
"So... It wasn't an accident every time I'm asleep they just don't escape on their own you helped them you fool! "
"Brother-"
"Don't you dare call me brother!"
He started punching John over and over.
"Stop punching him! He's your own brother!"
I know one shouldn't get involved with family matters- but if he continues he'll actually kill him!
The ugly man looked at me, his face was scary as heck.
"You're next." He stopped punching his own brother and started walking towards me at a very fast pace.
John started chanting one of his spells. With a faint green light he makes a magic circle then chanting something short, "W-Wind magic… [Wind Magic: Wind Cutter]!"
Then a powerful wind slashed the wall almost destroying it but thankfully the cabin or house whatever this is didn't collapse.
However, the horrible man felt it coming and immediately dodged it by doing a quick motion, moving his body back slightly. "You've been practicing while I'm asleep haven't you? Look at you, you don't even need to chant the long version of that spell."
The blonde boy laughs, wiping the blood out of his face.
"And I thought you're not paying any attention to me at all. "
John chanted the same spell, creating a magic circle that was bigger and brighter than the last one. "[Wind Magic: Wind Cutter]!"
"[Water magic: Water Reflect]!"
John's spell got reflected back at him.
John tried chanting the same spell again but failed.
He's low on magic power because he's beaten to a pulp before.
Then I remembered a spell that heals the body and regains strength. Should I try chanting it?
I only saw it in a book so I never tried but I have to try even if I don't know what kind of element I have.
"Nngh…"
However seeing him so weak, it would make me feel horrible if I did nothing at all. I should at least try-!
I should copy the way… Mom and Dad would chant their spells…
I raised my arms up, hand focused on bringing out my mana and then the right chant. "'God of light help me heal this wounded body and regain his strength for thee! [Light Magic: Regeneration]!"
"What's this? The pain is fading away. My magic power is going up. "
John looked at me feeling relieved.
"All right! It's payback time! I have been learning this spell for this day brother! The wheel of flame ignites within me, burning all those who cross me! [Fire Magic: Inferno Drive]!"
The kidnapper chanted reflection.
But it was all too late. John's spell took a direct hit on his brother.
"AHHH, IT BURNS! Dammit! You bastard!"
Although that spell was powerful the kidnapper managed to survive that spell.
"Hmph... Looks like you're low on magic power and I thought you were going to kill me but no." Smiling slowly, he looks at me licking his lips.
"Hey you! How did you learn that spell? That spell... Its level casting is on royal mage level that would be able to heal almost anything. I can't believe that a kid will be able to pull that off. " He tears out his burnt clothes into the side.
"It was my first time trying the spell. I didn't even know what kind of element I have in the first place- but I had to do something rather than doing nothing."
"Are you really sure you're five years old? " (John) asks me and I nod.
"Yes?"
Physically in this world I am five.
"Then you're going to have a big sale! Imagine a kid would be able to pull off [Regeneration] one of the strongest spells for healing wounded people! I can make a huge profit with just a kid!"
Grrr…
"That's It! I had enough of you!"
I chanted [Inferno Drive] hoping that it would work, knowing that I could suddenly use light magic without knowing I can- maybe I also have a knack for the fire attribute.
I raised my hands and chanted the spell, making a red burning magic circle. "The wheel of flame ignites within me, burning all those who cross me! [Fire Magic: Inferno Drive]!"
"Hey! That's my spell!"
I ignored him and targeted his brother and that spell worked, a huge ring of fireball heading towards him and... It's a direct hit!
"How… Can you copy spells? Because that spell.... IT TOOK ME 6 MONTHS TO LEARN IT. IT ONLY TOOK YOU 5 MINUTES!" He screams at my face, grabbing my shoulders and shaking them looking like he's about to cry.
"Aaa… Aaa. Stop! Shaking me!" I told him to push his hands away from me and hit him on the shoulders.
"Hmph the... battle is not over I can still... " He mutters looking so weak, he tried standing up but-
Thud!
"Um… He fainted right?" I ask him and John nods, looking a bit shocked from all the things that happened.
"I think he did." He tells me, smiling so widely, happy seeing his brother being beaten by a five year old.
"Thank you for helping me John."
"No problem, can you do a little favor for me?"
"Sure what is it?"
"Take me with you."
"Because I don't have anywhere else to go. I don't have a job or family. I only have my horrible brother." (John) plays with his hands, holding his arm looking hurt.
I kinda feel bad for him. I beat his abusive brother.
"Okay, I'll bring you home with me. But first, where is my family?"
We went to the other side of the cabin house thingy and found the two of them sleeping. We agreed that we will carry them back home. I carried Audrey and John carried Glenn.
When we came home I found my mother worried.
Well because it was late and dark we didn't show up at half of the party. I explained everything to her and she welcomed John with open arms.
Glenn and Audrey still remember everything but I said to mom to never speak of this again because I can use one of the highest spells and if word came across people would just kidnap me or something.
John is adjusting to living here because he will finally have a home to settle and a room of his own.
For me this day turned out great.
A new friend and I are learning that I have this kind of power. This is so awesome. Looks like I'm going to enjoy living this life to the fullest.
Now that I can use a light element that means…
"Hah… Where's my phone?"
I ran into my closet and grabbed the thing and tried to charge it.
It finally opened- my phone. I can use it now.
I wonder what happened when I died five years later.
