Tales Of Darkness And Light
Chapter 2's

Fedrick, Lara and the two men were overwhelmingly in the presence of the black-haired young man.

The pillar of fire that had been burning brightly and high suddenly extinguished. Not caring for all who were staring at him, the young man turned his face towards the girl. "You okay?" tanyanya slow.

The golden-haired girl smiled widely, the rays of fear in her green eyes immediately dissipated as soon as she saw the young man, "I'm fine, Apple. But, they.." both eyes were on Fedrick and Lara.

"Who are you?" asked one of the men to the black-haired young man.

Apple, the young man just kept silent.

"Who are you?" asked the man again in anger at not getting an answer.

Apple did not care about the man's anger. Reversing the faces staring at the two men in front, he opened his mouth. "Leave this place right now."

"What did you say?" reply another man.

"I said leave this place right now. I won't repeat my words again." The tone of the Apple voice did not change at all; it was calm and flat.

Hearing Apple's words, the two men moved to attack her with anger. However, deftly as well, he dodged their attacks while carrying the girl beside him.

Fedrick, Lara and the two men were again surprised by what had just happened. The young man's eyes were covered in cloth, which meant, he was completely unable to see. But, how could he avoid all the attacks aimed at him so easily?

The apple jumped away from the two men. When he landed a few meters away from the assailant, he took down the golden-haired girl. "Wait here and don't move."

The girl nodded her head as soon as she heard the orders of Apple.

Slowly, Apple walked towards the two men in black. Not wasting any time, one of the men immediately made a greenish-blue magic circle appear and cast a magic spell. From within the magic circle, the ice flakes shot rapidly towards the Apple.

However, just as the ice shard was about to touch the Apple, he immediately raised his right hand making a red-colored magic circle. Reciting a spell, a wall of fire appeared protecting him from the attack.

The eyes of Fedrick, Lara and the two men were wide in disbelief. The speed of the young man while making the magic circle was incredible, as well as the recitation of his magic spells.

Not caring for their surprised reaction, Apple moved towards the man who had attacked him with magic. The man tried to avoid the attack. However, he did not manage to dodge; apple attacks were too fast. He fell while holding his stomach as Apple punched him.

As soon as he saw his friend fall, another man moved towards Apple. The apple turned its face towards the man. He raised his right hand and made a red colored magic circle. Reciting a spell, a fireball appeared.

Ape threw the fireball at the man who attacked him. The man managed to avoid. Merely, as soon as he came to his senses, Apple had stood behind him. The movement of the black-haired youth that was so fast actually overwhelmed and disbelieved him.

The apple kicked the man so he bounced to the side of his friend. Both men tried to get up. However, just raising a face, Apple had stood in front of them.

"This is your last chance to get out of here." The sound of Apple is quite slow, but at the same time also very cold.

Fear attacked the two men. They don't know why, but the cold voice that they are with makes them mess up the hidden horrors. The young man before them now was not an ordinary and extremely; dangerous person.

Rising quickly, the two men immediately fled leaving Apple and the others without saying anything.

As the two men had disappeared from their sight, the golden-haired girl ran towards Apple and hugged him tightly.

"Take me off, you fool." Flat Apple orders.

"I'm worried about you." The girl protested while tightening her embrace. A worried expression filled her pretty face.

Hearing Apple's words, the girl let go of her embrace. Worried he had his face turned irritated. "My name is not stupid, Apple."

"I'm just calling 'Stupid' to a fool. Nothing wrong, right?" reply Apples again with a bite.

"Apples!" the girl shouted with anger.

Fedrick and Lara just kept quiet about the debate. But suddenly the blonde girl stopped arguing. Realizing their existence, he immediately walked over. "You all right?" tanyanya slow.

"thank you. We're okay" Fedrick replied while helping Lara stand up.

"Wait a minute! You're hurt." The golden-haired girl panicked a little as soon as she saw the wound on Lara's face.

"It's okay, it's just a small wound." Lara's reply was quick. The wound on his face was the wound from being punched by their attacker earlier. The wound will heal naturally in the next few days.

The golden-haired girl paid no attention to Lara's reply. Slowly, he raised his right hand closer to Lara's face. However, Apple's hand suddenly stopped the hand.

"Apples?" confused, the girl looked at Apple.

The apple did not say a word, the young man just shook his head.

"Why?" the girl asked, getting confused.

"It's none of our business."Answer Apple.

"But..."

"Listen to me." Apple's voice remained flat, but it was clear there was no chance for the golden-haired girl to fight back.

With a pouting face, the girl then nodded her head. It was obvious he didn't like it, but he didn't do anything anymore.

Fedrick and Lara who saw and heard the conversation of the two people in front did not say a word. They both knew, from the move of the haired girl, it seemed like she intended to use magic to heal the wounds on Lara's face, but Apple, the black-haired young man did not allow it.

Fedrick then opened his mouth. "It's okay" he said with a smile. "I can also use healing magic."

Raising his right hand and making a white magic circle, Fedrick then cast a spell to heal the wound on Lara's face.

Lara remained silent and did not thank Fedrick even though the wound on her face had disappeared. His black eyes were directed at the golden-haired girl who was smiling happily when she saw Ferdrick's magic.

"Thank God," laughed, the golden-haired girl's green eyes sparkling beautifully. "You don't feel pain anymore, do you?"

Lara was confused by the girl's question, she did not understand, why did she look so happy when her wounds healed?—when they were strangers.

With a smile still on her face, the golden-haired girl then looked at Fedrick. Clapping her hands, she laughed. "Your magic is great! The wound healed without a trace."

"Thank you.." Fedrick was stammered by the praise he received. Her magic was by no means something special, but the girl praised her so enthusiastically.

"Rue," the girl's laughter was cheerful. "My name is Rue."
