The difference between good and evil Pt 18.

Charles jumped in the air and his leg turned into a long sword, he flew towards me and I rolled out of the way. Grabbing Veronica I turn to run around the tube, putting it in between us and him.

He goes for another kick but Theo calls out. "Don't destroy the tube you idiot." He stops dead in his track and instead jumps over it.

Landing in front of us I put my arm around Veronica keeping her behind me as Charles looms over us. He holds up a metal arm but right before he runs us through a large hand grabs him and throws him across the over side of the room.

In front of us is Ray, his heart is exposed and his hairs a mess, but he's here, defending us. He turns around and keeps fighting Charles, Theo goes to run, Veronica tries to stop him, but knowing Ray can't defeat Charles alone I grab her and prevent her.

"We need to help Ray." She looks at me in anger, but after a deep breath she nods and grabs a chemical off the wall, it's an acid.

"That's my girl." I say as she beams at me.

We move to surround Charles, Ray is in defense mode keeping those swords from puncturing his fragile heart. Veronica goes to inject the acid but Charles's enhanced battle reflexes knock in out of her hand.

I barely catch the vial before calling out to Ray. "We can't get in close enough!"

He looks to me for a split second before nodding, then he exposes himself, allowing both of Charles's sword arms to puncture into his chest.

a large wheeze comes out of him but still he wraps his arms around Charles and squeezes him against himself. Taking the opportunity Veronica stabs the needle into his neck, releasing all the contents of the deadly acid.

Within second his skin starts to fizzle and melt from the inside out, and after a few seconds all that remains is two swords in Rays heart. He goes to pull them out but I stop him.

He looks at me in confusion, but if my timings right. Ding! The large tube opens up and a 12 year old looking normal girl falls out of the tube.

Veronica seems dumbstruck for a moment but I yell at her to move her, she gets her sense back quickly and moves Brie from the tube. Placing his weight on me I walk Ray over to the tube and put him in.

Once inside I pull the swords out and he gives a loud gasp, then I shut the tube put in the right chemicals and pray.

Once that's down I run over to were Brie and Veronica are, taking the small girl into my arms I pull out a pre made mixture I made to wake her up.

Holding it up to her nose her whole body jumps awake, her eyes open bright and she hold tightly to my arm. Her eyes are dilated but it takes her only a second to recognize me.

"Kelsie?" She says, then her eyes go big and her hand goes to her throat, her voice is no longer that of a small girl, but it's now that of a young woman.

Tears come to her eyes as I help her up, and bring her to a large mirror in the room. She looks at herself and covers her mouth suppressing tears.

No longer is a tiny child with talons for hands and a beak, but instead is a taller girl with long pretty red hair, green eyes, and normal hands. She sobs, but when she does a large glob of fire comes out of her mouth and melts the mirror.

She gasps and stops, holding up her hand she flexes and large claws made of metal come out of her finger tips. Her mouth grows wide as she feels her back, her clothes now torn up because the the transformation she turns around, and reflected in whats left of the mirror are large eagle wings folded tightly to her back.

They blend in perfectly with her body, only reason we could see them is because she was ruffling the her feathers. She turns and smiles at me, then she closes her eyes and her mouth becomes a beak once more, this time much stronger than before and supported by rows of serrated teeth.

She turns her mouth back to normal and hugs me, she now stands at the same height as me, tears fall down her cheeks. "Thank you." She says.
