Jia's Pov

"ughhh this was so damn harder than i thought,it was easier to hold but when you use it,i think i can't do it, I'd better die instead" this was me flopping over the wooden floor of where we were and the others we're practicing stupid skills for who knows what it is for

*Earlier that day*

i walked inside the room of ally-sensei and found out that almost everyone was there..

well.. except for marco and rin..

"hey! so where's--" before alliyah could continue her asking about where marco and rin was the door slammed opend and there was a sweating rin and an angry marco

"hi-" suddely marco bumped into rin enabling rin to get pushed inside the room

"I SWEAR RIN YOUR SUCH A-" and before marco could continue on they were both stumbling by the edge of the door and fell on the floor

"so im guessing everyone is here? lets get going shall we?"  and with that we started our journey off to that dead city.

but later that moment we started walking and walking.

"uhm.. ally? where's the car? are we walking over?" i asked

"no we're just gonna drop by something" she explained continuing to walk

we walked out our school and continued walking in silence, going straight to a path that leads to the nearby forest.

not a couple miles further from school , we we're infront of an old looking traditon wooden house thingy..

"uhh.. where are we?" i stared at the large ol' house

"my house" alliha informed

she opend the door and we all enterd the teacher's house.

"follow me" was all she said and we started following inside the large house

her house was astonishing.

we were waliing by the hall way there were sword sticked on the walls inside glass cabinets.

then bows and arrows hanging around with guns,pistons,mini knifes,shot gun and some weird creature staying in display.

almost everywhere you look, there's weapons for display.

she then stopped in front of a room and opend it to let us all in.

soon reaching inside the room we looked around the beautiful displays hanging around the room. not pictures. not paintings. but deadly weapons.

the room was huge as an half of the basketball court.
wooden floors. glass windows with a viee from the outside.

"okay so as you can see this house is full of displays, their not exactly only displays, they work ok? so its weapons we can use to attack or use it in" she informed her voice echoing through the wide space

"I'll give you five minutes to pick out your weapons mili or range can do, whatever you prefer or comfortable in to use" she walked out the room and soon we all started picking out weapons

Eric choosed a Hand gun and bow with arrows

Marco choosed Double pistons and a long sword with a black handle (A/N: haha kirito from SAO XD )

Rin choosed Snipper

yohan... well.. he was given a lollipop and sat him in one place where danger was away..

i took the chance to look around for something else to have that is different from them..

then something caught my eye.. it was a crystal shinning sword.. it was beautiful and one of a kind, its color gave me a nostalgic feeling.. i took it and went back to finding something else.. i saw a silver long kind of gun probably a shot gun with a bit of curled up decorations in the side, took it as well and finally we were all armed.

ally came back with some of the weird creatures and positioned them.

she threw each one of us different kinds of mini bags and the thing we need to carry our weapon around.

"on those bag it has first aids, healing drinks, food water and bullets for what kind of gun you choosed" she scanned all of us for our weapons

"pshh healing drinks.. seriously" rin snorted

"so im guessing all of you have range weapons while jia and marco for a mili" she
wondered

"jia?" she called

"yeah?" i replied back bit paying attention that much and staring at my sword

"nice choose" she smiled

i nodded as a reply for thanks

"eric you go first, hit that" she pointed at the creatures head straight ahead

eric pushed in a couple of bullets and started aiming, everyone kept silent for a while following a noise from the gun.

he hit the spot..

"splendid, now try using the bow and arrow" ally instructed

eric started placing the arrow carrier in his back and pulled one of them aiming once more.

i watched while marco and rin was beginning to fight using their un armed weapons..

he hit the spot once more and continued on.

ally finally instructed all of us and gave us all something to do. taking a couple of glances at eric he was expressionless while doing the practice. Seems like it wasn't a big deal to him, but every hit he took was a perfect shot, while marco and rin was getting the hang of their weapons i for too was having a hard time slashing the sword around and having a perfect shot..

"ughhh this was so damn harder than i thought,it was easier to hold but when you use it,i think i can't do it, I'd better die instead" this was me flopping over the wooden floor of where we were and the others we're practicing stupid skills for who knows what it is for

"nahh you can't just die like that jia, come let me show you how its done" rin held out a helping hand which i gladly took

he took my silver shotgun and positioned it at a right hold he went behind my back and grab my hands ever so lightly before whispering softly.

"focus on the target, don't be frustrated and stay calm" with that it kept me calm, he slowly dragged my arm to the center of the target and we both focused.

"NOW" i quickly pulled the trigger and finally.. a perfect shot

"whoa, thanks" i smiled warmly at rin who gladly returned it to me hearing a sarcastic 'LAME~!' from marco who was coming closer

"now mastering your sword," he held his in the air "fight me" he instructed

"what no i can't do that hehe, what.. what if-  what if you d--"

"Jia, if you wanna win your game you have to fight and if you wanna take back what is yours you have to gamble your life for it, even if its worth it" he stared dead meat into my eyes

i gulped down and held my sword in the same air as him, we stood there quiet for a minute before he signaled "START" and with that he started running toward me which i panicked all of a sudden but seconds later i find myself fighting back.

the fight lasted for a couple of minutes before i gave him one last slash that went across his face not to deep.

he flinched a bit and let go of his sword

"oh my.. MARCO IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN IT IM SORRY I JUST..." tears begin to form in my eyes when i saw blood start leaking out of his cheek

"jia, stop over reacting its just a scratch" he informed wiping a couple blood scattering his face

"are you kidding me? YOUR BLEEDING"

"band aid will do" he then took out a band aid on his bag and sticked it on his 'scratch' which the bleeding won't stop..

Alliha came near us and patted us both in the back "You'll ger use to it" she smiled.

•••

soon enough we were all used to our newly given weapons

"okay guys i think were off to go" announced alliha who was getting out of the large room us following along

" if you don't mind, uhm.. alliyah? where did you get all this weapons?" i asked siding by her

"i knew your mother for so long,  i was once a member in the army of this hunt which only you can end and stop, when i was just a normal member soon my ranks went higher and higher until i became a captiain leader of the squad, they gave me this house as a sign of gratitude and honor,this house was for the whole team yet now they let me own it" she explained and sighed

"ohhh wait- YOU KNOW MY MOTHER?!"

there was along pause until she spoke again
"...by mother i meant betheen jia," she explained once

we reached the car and of course eric droved it.

"by the way we maybe stuck on that city for a couple of days i informed the principal and all your teachers for that, and i gave your parents a little message that you guys are going camping, if you know what i mean" she informed looking out the window dazed.

everyone just agreed and continued on

finally reaching our desired destination we finally reached the so called 'dead city'

taking a step out of the car when cold breeze starts hitting my face.

"damn i wish I'd bring my jacket if only i knew it was chillier than before around here" i started rubbing both my arms for a contact with heat or warm

when all of a sudden a coat was drapped over me.

"what the?!-" Before i could react any longer it was eric who drapped it over.

i replied a small thanks before fixing the black coat over me that soon helped me calm in the chill.

everything around us was silent,
so silent that even our whispers can be heared.

"Always be ready" whispered alliha

it was quiet as ever when all of a sudden one wild woman came running towards us.

"DIE!!!" it screamed at top of its lungs aiming at me, i was too frighten to even move or fight back. luckily alliyah coverd up and gave it a good shot at the forehead with a simple hand gun

"quick, continue on to the cabin before more of them smells the scent"  what scent are you talking about alliha? damn.. i feel like im in some zombie apocalypse trying to survive with shit.

all of a sudden my thoughts have been disturbed by marco tugging my arm and running away leaving alli behind.

of course me being me, i stumbled to keep up at the fast speed.

with all the running, we reached the hideout cabin where some of the hunters were in.

but as soon as we enterd, the aura changed, last time we we're here people were staring deadly like we committed a crime but now they we're so happy jolly they even welcomed us.

"Welcome aboard mates!" a random guy called out, coming over to uss
and hanging his arm around me

"uh..." was all i could reply.

the fact that i was so frightend by the armed man with his nasty beer breath hitching me

"HEY, GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF MY GIRL" rin exclaimed trying to fight the muscular man, and who says i was his girl?

eric walked over to us and yanked rin behind him "hey!"

"i apologize for my little brother back here, anyways, thanks for the warm welcome and hope we get long eventually" eric speaked calm tapping at the man's shoulder smiling politely while shoving away rin's face

the man let me go and finally we walked over to a vacant table.

"see rin? that's how you speak professionally" said eric sarcastically with a smirk

"yeah whatever, i could accuse and case that filthy man with Harrasment for touching what's mine" rin spitted out utterly annoyed

"correction, jia is not your property just to remind you" eric tried annoying rin now

"haha funn but i never said anything about her"

"sounds like you just did rin,"

"listen old man, i know your my brother but i won't hesitate to wreck your loving face right here right now" rin gritted his teeth together pissed enough to punch the shit outta eric

eric nods with that he whacked away rin's head and shoved the problem away leaving poor rin still quite annoyed which only made it worse when marco started annoying him.

those two really..

FINALLY we took our seats and all of a sudden alliha sensei slammed the door open everyone chugged their beers and wines to the air as a sign of welcome to the captain.

she then took a step on the so called 'stage' that silenced everyone.

"Greetings my fellow hunters, today we have four new members of the group, Rin Yurisaka" she held her hand to out to point on rin,  he went on the stage and all eyes was on him

"Eric Yurisaka" they all clapped at the two brothers, with eric standing beside Rin, he bowed down with respect.

"Marco"  they clapped again

"and of course daughter of guladrina, Jia " i went on stage and instead of hearing a round of applause, everyone started muttering and gasping

not to mention that 'guladrina' makes me remeber something that i know yet i dont exactly know....

once i took a step on the stage alliha spoked again.

"yes, you heard me, the key to our victory, the daughter of gualdrina has been found, now all our sufferings will end soon" everyone cheered and clapped at the fact that guladrina's daughter stand before them..

yet i am still all confused...

what in the world am i missing out?!
