Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 4.2 (wip)

Pretty soon, it seemed as though the presence of evil was following us around and preparing to attack. After about a year of patrolling together, it seemed that at least three nights a week Mira and I or at least myself, were caught up in some sort of physically altercation, with us fighting for our lives and those of others. The more good we tried to do, the more opposition we seemed to face, but we couldn’t stop and turn our backs on all the people that came to depend on us. We didn’t know at the time how much our lives were truly about to change. Nothing would ever be calm, simple, and neat again.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 4.1 (wip)

“Well thank you for your consideration, but you’re a little too late!” She rushed past me. She went into the linen closet and grabbed a towel. I’d never seen her that upset. “I can’t talk to you smelling like that,” she fussed and then tossed a towel in my general direction. Her aim was off, but I knew it was intentional. She didn’t really want to hit me, she was just upset. I stretched out my arm quickly and caught the towel in midair just off to one side, and then she finally noticed it. Mira gasped for air looking at the reddish purple spot on my arm that was slightly sunken in. It was a dent, an almost hole, which of course made her scream out once she noticed it. “What the heck happened to you?”

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 4 (wip)

I approached the man trying to distract him, which I did, but not in the way I’d planned. When the gunman noticed me walking towards him, he became startled at my appearance. He turned and fired his gun without even looking. The young couple took the opportunity to run away in the opposite direction. The gunman fired twice; one shot hit the viewing portal of a transport parked next the curb and the other shot hit me. I hadn’t been shot in over seventy-five years. I’d forgotten how it felt. The bullet sped through the air making contact with my skin, causing it to stretch and bruise. The shot was fired close enough that when the bullet finally stopped, it lay rested in an indentation on my arm.
