“Okay team. We’ll mgawanyiko, baidisha up and tafuta the city” Kalder instructed
“I know I don’t have a lot of experience in this, but I have a bad feeling about splitting up” I warned
“Thalia, I’m sure it’ll be fine. And if wewe get into trouble, all wewe have to do is think au call on the comm. unit“ Kalder soothed
“Okay. I might just be over reacting” I looked at my feet. We all headed out and mgawanyiko, baidisha up. I flew low to the ground. Every so often, I would stop close my eyes, allowing my dark aura flow through the buildings to see if the bomb was there. I turned down an alley and right into a dead end. I stopped. Something felt…wrong. The alley felt crowded. I whipped around and saw ten people blocking the exit. I looked up and saw people lining the tops of the buildings. A lady in a short green kimono stepped forward.
“We finally have you” she said
“That’s what wewe think” I smiled
“Sweetie, you’re surrounded. There is no way out” She gestured to the people all around the alley.
“For me there is.” I closed my eyes and remembered the Greek myth of Thanatos au Death. He was a huge skeleton bird like creature. I imagined turning into him. I opened my eyes and I was eight feet in the air, looking down on the masked lady.
“You can’t scare me, girl” she said
“The girl is gone. I am Thanatos, the reincarnation of Death. And I’m here to collect. One soul is not enough. I crave more” I alisema in a raspy, scary voice. The lady and her men backed up. Even the guys on the roof backed away from the edges. I flew right up to the lady.
“Your name. It will tell me if wewe are to be collected au not” I alisema to her
“Cheshire” she alisema simply
“You are not to be collected. But I still thirst for souls. I’ll just take your men’s lives” I spread my ‘wings’ and three dark pulses hit her men, making them unconscious. Cheshire gasped. I concentrated and made my body separate from Thanatos’. I tilted my head and put a creepy smile on my face. I tapped Cheshire’s shoulder. She spun around and screamed.
“I’m back” I alisema in a creepy tone. She ran right into Thanatos, who was now my puppet. He looked down on her and screeched. She backed up. I tapped her shoulder. She turned and I punched her in the stomach. I ripped off her mask, and punched her in the face. She fell to the ground, unconscious. Robin ran down alley and saw me petting Thanatos.
“Um, Thalia? What happened here?” he asked, gesturing to Thanatos and all the unconscious bodies.
“They tried to ambush me. And if wewe want Cheshire, she’s unconscious.” I alisema simply.
“Okay then. Anyway, we found the bomb. Time to head back” he said, picking Cheshire up.
