The Assassins

Code Death

Chapter 3

Logan's POV (1st person)

"Well I feel useless..." I thought to myself. First, I threw one if the weakest fireballs I EVER threw. Second, I had just gotten divebombed by a giant bird. And now, we're surrounded by 'em.

"What do we do now?"

I sighed, and chanted.

"Patrem meum. Libera me de inferno ferrum!"

Instantly, fire started seeking in my hand until a large, sleek battle axe of Stygian Iron was in my hand.

"Alright everyone!" I shouted more confidently than I felt at the time. "Let's go duck hunting!"

Apparently the birds didn't like being called "ducks". One dove at me as soon as I said it. I was ready, and swung my axe. The bird squawked as it was cleaved in two. Grace didn't waste any time shooting some high pressurized water into ones face, disorienting it.

"Zahir!" I shouted. He turned and slashed at a bird with his scythe. The bird flew up last second, barely dodging the attack. Zahir jumped upward, and snagged its legs. He pulled as hard as he could, and slammed the bird to the ground.

Courtney jumped on a birds back, and drove her sword into it, turning it to dust as she fell, rolling on the ground as she landed as a recovery tactic. One flew at her, and she merely back flipped, dodging it as it crashed into a large rock.

"Alright..." I began. "How about a fireball with feeling?" I hurled a large fireball into a bird the was attacking Hecter. The bird erupted in a sea of flames. Hecter fell down, scared of the fire.

"S-Sorry!" I shouted.

"No. It's fine..." He said standing up.

Hanna was fending off two birds, and managed to knock one into the other with her huge sword. She stabbed one, causing it to disintegrate.

"Nice shot!" I complimented her.

Before she could say anything back, the birds started flying away.

I sighed. "Phew. We win...."

Suddenly, someone squeaked. It was Jess.

"I-I don't think so, Logan..."

We all look up, and see a cloud.

No. Not a cloud. A flock. A whole flock of those birds!

I raised my axe.

"C'mon guys! If we go down, we go down fighting!"
