Weapon Or Game (Book 3) The Ares Project

Third Person POV . . .

                The next day came, but an unexpected guest was to appear at Jane's doorstep. Since the day was a weekend, Jane was spending her time by the riverbank, but this time a teen boy with light, red hair stood between the shadows of the trees. His blue eyes contained a spark of mischief. It was not Torch, nor Xavier, but the unexpected.

"Thunder Wolf!" Jane dribbled the ball across the field at the speed of lightning, before pinning the ball under her shoe, with bright blazes of blue lightning surrounding her.

            It only took one strong kick for the ball to dash towards the goalpost in a flash, with a glorious blue wolf running behind it. The strange boy lowered his hood, and shoved his hands into the pockets of his blue jacket. A smile was planted on his face, for he knew well what was to come.

" We will meet again . . . Jane," with those parting words, he walked away, without the girl even noticing his presence.

" I don't think so," the boy stopped moving, and narrowed his eyes at the two girls standing in front of him.

               Tori and Sue were greatful for coming to the riverbank, but both had different reasons for being greatful. Sue for example was curious about the mysterious boy. As for Tori, she had considered him a threat. The boy was not dum enough to run away, he would only gain more attention, but it was not like there was any other way to escape, but before he could think twice, a ball dashed past him, missing his face by an inch. His hood flew backwards, revealing his physical features.

" Who the hell are you?!" All three teens turned their attention to the girl with hazel eyes.

            A dark aura surrounded Jane, it was the same thing as the last match she played in the FFI, but only rebelliousness was in the mixture, but she never noticed Luciain standing behind her, with his hand on her shoulder. He was officially lending her his power, but to the naked eye, he could not be seen unless he wanted to.

" This creep was stalking you!" Tori shouted, while pointing an accusing finger at the boy.

            Jane was standing behind the teen boy, only two meters were between them. Sue had hearts in her eyes, but Jane and Tori were the complete opposite. As for Luciain, he was simply enjoying the event unlocking in front of him.

" I did not think I will talk to you so early," the voice sounded familiar, but the stranger was trying to keep her on the hook.

            The girl did not waste a minute, she kicked the soccer ball in front of her towards the boy. It crashed against the teens back, causing him to stumble helplessly on the floor. He obviously did not even try to dodge the shot.

"I asked you a simple question, Don't give me that crap now," Jane complained, as the ball slowly bounced back to her.

"Shawn was not joking when he said you gained a rough side. You even can't recognise me," the boy chuckled, before standing up, and turning towards the teen girl.

            Anger, happiness, sadness, and shock ran through the girl's mind. Her mouth was slightly open, but no words came out. Her legs were growing weak. The boy stood in front of her, with his arms wide open for a hug.

"Jane!" She knew that voice, it was Torch, but she did not move.

         The red-head ran towards the girl, but stopped once noticing the new stranger. A pang of Jealousy stuck Torch. Once reaching the girl, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him in a defensive position. The mysterious boy smirked in amusment, and lowered his arms. Things were going to take an unexpected turn.

"Who are you baka?!" Torch yelled, but he received no reply.

"I only have business with Jane, you idiot have nothing to do here on the other hand yo--," before things could get out of hand, Jane placed her hand on the red-headed boy's shoulder, and slowly motioned him to step aside.

            Torch was furious, but did as he was told onncr he saw the soft tears holding themselves in Jane's eyes. Things were going wild in her head. A strong strong breeze passed by.

" So rumours are true," Jane turned her attention, to the stone stairs.

        Gazel and Xavier stood there, eyes locked on the new comer. They knew who he was, and sensed Jane knew as well. Gazel's eyes were still dull, several signs of breaking down could be seen, and 5hey were most likely emotionless. Xavier took one glance at the silver-haired boy, before following him to the field. Jane could not sense any life in Gazel's eyes as he walked towards her. He patted her head, and had a small smile on his lips, but it quickly vanished once he turned to the strange boy.

"I would turn around, and leave if I were you . . . Aidan Frost," the words left Gazel's mouth like poison.

          It felt like Jane could break down any second, she took a few steps backwards, but unexpectedly stumbled backwards. Luckily, Torch caught her right in time. He held her shoulders like they were delicate glass. She slowly regained her balance, but tears were overflowing her face. Aidan ignored Gazel's warning, and walked towards Jane, with a confediant smile. Once he passed Gazel, the silver-haired boy grabbed his wrist. A terrible glare covered his face. Aidan seemed surprised at first, but grabbed the other boy's shoulder agressivily, and pushed him away, but Gazel did not give in so easily. He swiftly slid his leg under the boy's feet, and tackled him to the ground. Jane was about to rush to the two boys, but someone raced her to them. Out of nowhere, Shawn ran towards the two boys, and pushed them away from each other.

" I told you to wait, is that too hard?" Shawn sighed, and started dragging his brother away.

         Jane simply stood there. Paralyzed. Scared. Angry. Happy and sad. She pushed Torch away, and ran away. Where was she going? Home. Where no one could annoy her,a nd make things more complicated.
As for Gazel, he had his injuries cleaned by Sue and Tori, and thankfully had Torch, and Xavier there as well, but Torch felt completely hopeless. Him, Gazel, and Belletrix sure did stay in South Korea for a while, but that was because they could not fight the idea  that they lost. Leo and Zues tried encouraging them it was not their fault, but Torch and Gazel were unable to buy it. Guilt did not eat Torch for losing the match, but for being unable to do anything when he was in the deepest depth of depression.

"What I hate the most, is being useless, and losing"
