CRIMSON GUARD

Chapter 7: The hidden power of Helena Crawford



'Huh! Crap! Now the military is getting involved because of that shameful man', the pale beauty said to herself while cleaning her neck with a handkerchief. Afterwards though, she quickly dropped it on the muscular woman's face and stomped it.

This had caused the military men who had barged into the place to become much more agitated. "Culprit has been spotted in the school. The general has been totally knocked out by the culprit….", one of them had spoken into a walkie-talkie.

"In fact the assailant is rather a she…."

"I'm even surprised by what has happened, how can the supreme general lose to a woman like that?"

The solder had a horrified look on his face when he had said these words.

"Was she a very strong person?", the pale skinned woman asked loud enough for everyone to hear. It was as if she was trying to mock the fallen supreme general.

She simply placed her finger on her lips, trying to 'shoosh' herself before she provoked the soldiers even more.

The damage had already been done though since most of the soldiers had started to approach her.

"Wait, we can come to an agreement after all. This doesn't have to end with violence. We are grown ups so let's sort this out on our own.", she protested with her hands raised up high in the air.

Hahaha!

The man had wanted to control his laughter but it slipped through before he could even do so. His ears had heard something he had never thought they would ever hear from someone who had defeated their supreme general.

"I'm sorry to tell you this dear but the battle was initiated the moment you attacked our supreme general. You must take full responsibility for your actions.", the man had replied instantaneously after the sudden outburst of laughter.

"Oh I wasn't pleading on my behalf, I was rather doing so for your very own safety. If your supreme general could not even take care of me then who among you subordinates will be able to do so."

The reply had knocked the air out of the chest of the man who had spoken on behalf of the soldiers. He narrowed and sized up the woman in front of the sea of people gathered around the principal's office.

"The fck woman, you think highly of yourself right. Do you think you can take on 10 military men all by yourself?"

Hahaha!

This was the first time they had all heard her laugh since the first time she appeared. Though it emanated from such a beautiful creature, the murderous intent behind it had covered the whole place.

'How can a beauty like that have such a deadly killing intent? Not even most of our trained personnels can muster out such a thing…...', the man's thoughts kept going wild in his head.

He had encountered people who were so full of themselves like this woman but none of them had the intent to back their claims.

This woman had it all, that's both the intent and desire to back her claims. She was indeed a force never to be reckoned with.

All these thoughts had bubbled up his desire to fight his woman. Barriers restricting men from fighting women sounded like bullshit now as he progressed towards the woman.

Those within the hall had all noticed the killing intent of these two behemoths. Without wanting to be caught in any form of crossfire, they all decided to move out of the hallway.

"I had waited to see that, now the door to attain my answers has finally been left alone for me", she said playfully.

——-

Minutes before the people had gathered in front of the office.

In the principal's office,

two figures could be seen hugging each other closely. Beads of sweat dropped down their faces with each passing moment.

Upon closer inspection, the two figures were just a man and a woman. They both seemed to have been traumatized by what had happened within the institution.

"How can you tell me that about 80% of the school's population have vanished into thin air!", the man had shouted in horror.

"Yes sir, including some of the teachers and some of the non teaching staff. They have all gone missing without any valid trace being left behind. From my sources, classes were in session and all of a sudden, students and teachers disappeared instantaneously into thin air.", the woman replied in a desperate attempt to calm down her boss.

"What are we going to do now? The parents will be here soon to take their children, what are we going to tell them? How will they even respond to the story we are going to tell them?

Will we have face the law because of something we didn't do? Will we have to pay these people money to compensate them for their missing children?

How will the family members of the teachers who had also gone missing react to our story?…", the man nervously asked these questions while biting away on his fingernails. Eventually though his fingernails had been completely diminished and he had decided to move on to those of the woman.

"Ouch, stop it. Do you know how much I spent to do this thing…"

Bang!

Bang!

Before she could finish with her complains though, two loud knocks could be heard at the door.

This had caused the man to hold onto the woman tightly. Tears had begun to come out of the eyes of both of them as they reminisced about what they were going to tell the parents.

"They are here! They are here! They are here!", he screamed while holding the woman tightly. The woman had also done the same thing after hearing the man's words.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The knocks increased with each passing moment, increasing their terrors exponentially.

Time passed by slowly for them and they were almost getting used to the knocks when it had stopped abruptly. Looking down at his pants though, the man noticed something disgraceful—— they had both released fluids due to fear.

———

The pale woman stood her ground while staring at the soldier who approached her with an ear-to-ear grin on his face. This was something to expect from two battle freaks.

Bang!

The sound reverberated throughout the hallway when the man had bumped his fists together. This was intended to scare the woman but she still stood unfazed by the sudden circus act.

Crack!

Crack!

Instead, she had cracked her neck and her knuckles. She was in for some heartfelt action after all.

"Don't hold back okay", she said with a playful smile on her face.

"Oh you bet I won't", the man had replied while charging on towards the woman with his fist outstretched.

The woman's eyes glowed a feint red while she allowed all her murderous intent to seep out of her body.

Swish!

She had also immediately dashed off towards the man.

The man who had jumped into violence because of the strength he thought he had felt his life flashing in front of his eyes. This had come as a result of his body experiencing the pressure exerted by the woman's intent.

"What is this feeling? The feeling of my own body bailing out on me. Is this because of her but why, haven't I witnessed near death experiences before? Why I'm I faltering in front of such a fragile being?", he had asked himself.

Swooosh!

Small but powerful gusts of wind had constantly hit his face when the woman had reached him with her unparalleled speed.

Unknowing to him though, he had knelt down right in front of the woman.

Boom!

The sound erupted from the man's forehead after the woman had simply flicked it.

Though the attack was a little childish it had caused him to skid across the floor. Foam exited out of his mouth when his body had finally come to a halt.

The woman walked towards the door to the principal's office and kicked it open with brute strength, startling those who were inside the room.

The woman had a scorn look on her face when the sight in front of her had unfolded. She could see a man holding onto the hair of a woman while pushing something into her body.

"You decide to do this right now, when your school is in shambles!", She shouted while moving closer to the man who was so lost in his pleasure island that he couldn't even realize that a person had walked into the room.

Pah!

With some swift movement she had slapped the man across his face. The strength behind the slap had forcefully pushed the man away from the woman. This had caused the woman to scream uncontrollably since she was oblivious to what was happening at the moment.

"What is your name and what do you want?", the man had asked while holding his cheek in pain.

"I'm Helena Crawford and I want my sons, right here and right now", she said calmly while releasing a little bit of her killing intent.
