Catherine

‘Its all over…Its all over…Its all over…’she mumbled to herself. One of the demons had pounced on her, and she thought that her life was going to end.

Seeing her in such a situation, Walker could not help but grin. There he was, who had just tackled the impending monster, and stood over her, who had fallen down in her haste to escape.

‘Oh!! You came!’ she said, unable to keep out the relief from saturating every word. ‘What are you doing with that stupid glowing blade anyway?’

‘It’s a katana. And it can kill. Man, it also feels that heavy.’ Walker countered. ‘But hey, I just saved your life, and what you could say is about the blade in my--’

He did not get to finish his sentence.

Pouncing on her, Walker managed to grab her and roll away before an axe planted itself where Catherine was a few moments ago.

‘You did it aga--’Catherine started, but Walker cut her short. ’No time for small talk. Get away from these … monstrosities first, or whatever they are.’

As Catherine ran away with her, she was comforted at the tight grip from Allen’s hand. It gave her a sense of security, and it took away from her the nightmares that gave furious pursuit.

‘Run first. With the blade, I could take out at least one with this blade on every corner.’ Walker commanded. It was no time for arguments, and she feverishly hoped the element of surprise is enough to take them down.

After running for a while, she met a dead end.

Twenty more of those demons confronted her.

When Walker was catching up, he was shouting, 'One stab for each of those hunters was all it took. That was too…'

He saw it too. Then, without another moment’s hesitation, he charged instinctively straight into the small army.

Catherine cried and closed her eyes; it was hard to see the love of her life charge straight into the battlefield. Moreover, it was for her too.

After waiting for around an eternity’s period (for Catherine, that is), he emerged from the cloud of smoke (which mysteriously and expectedly appears whenever a large battle scene is in the process of going on, blocking the view of the main character). Battered, bruised, cut, coughing and spluttering from the smog but otherwise very alive.

‘Don't ever do that sort of thing again!!’ Now was Catherine’s turn to pounce on him, hugging him furiously.

‘It’s all over now… All over. We are safe.’
