Renee sat up, dazed. Forget slapping those idiots, She thought rapidly getting mad. Slap him instead! Sexual harassment!
"Um Alfie, you'd better watch out." Warned Derrick, who had trotted over to see what was going on. Too late. Renee raised her hand and slapped Alfie as hard as she could on his face. She then stood up turned away and crossed her arms. I'm not going until I get a decent explanation for this. She thought.
"OW!" Shrieked Alfie. "Oooo that hurt!" he thought, pain searing through his sore cheek. Derrick poked it. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW!" Moaned Alfie. At least the transformation's done. He thought, looking on the brighter side. He looked over at the twins, who were still battling the tornadoes.
They were in their true forms. Sleek, giant bat wings protruded from their backs and where ever they went, darkness followed like a disease. Not that it made any difference; it was getting darker by the second, as night approached. Their clothes were different to, they now wore tight fitting black shorts and a black mask, which covered their faces and went over their noses. Black bandages were tightly wrapped around their wrists both ends free, both about 5 meters long. The bandages fluttered in the wind as the twins avoided the assault of the tornadoes, muscles rippling beneath their skin as they dodged the whirling gusts of wind with expert precision, whilst firing balls of black matter at them. Renee saw their teeth and her eyes went round. "They're vampires! Awesome!" Then she noticed something. She was well aware that it was dark, but she could see perfectly well. Strange.
"May I make an suggestion? Look at yourself." Ordered Alfie, Derrick was already looking at Renee.
"Huh?" Renee looked into the mirror Alfie had somehow produced. She gasped and her eyes widened and her hands reached up to her head. "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY EARS!???" Screamed Renee. "God, I have to be dreaming." She thought. Then she fainted, hitting the ground with a dull thud. Renee's ears had gone and had been replaced with two soft and furry black cat ears. A cat tail peeked around her legs and two magnificent white wings had sprouted from her back. Also strangely enough, her clothes had changed as well. Instead of a skirt, she wore black jean shorts with light purple socks that went up to her thighs. Her pink top had been replaced with a white sleeveless top, which exposed her midriff. She wore black and light purple arm warmers and where her dolly shoes should of been were a pair of black lace up boots.
"The shock of seeing her real form must of really surprised her." Said Derrick, picking up Renee and slinging her over his shoulder.
"You don't say." Agreed Alfie, nimbly dodging a blob of black matter with had been fired in his direction. The twins had destroyed the tornadoes and were now bearing down on Alfie hissing like some sort of wild beasts. He laughed nervously, "I would love to fight you, but have an Academy to get to." Alfie hated to admit it, but he was a bit scared of the twins and they looked particularly blood thirsty and quite pissed at the moment. He turned and ran behind a tree and began opening a portal. "Got Renee, Derrick?" Alfie called to Derrick.
"Yeah! I mean, uh, no." Replied Derrick as Renee was yanked out of his grip. One twin (Ken), had reached out a hand, and the loose ends of their bandages had whipped forwards, like a snake attacking it's prey, wrapping itself around Renee's waist and pulling her towards Ken. Meanwhile, just as Renee was being pulled away from Derrick, the other twin (Akako) had run silently to him and punched him, following through with his other fist, his teeth bared in an animal snarl. Derrick only had seconds to block, he crossed his arms in front of him and absorbed most of impact, but the force of the second punch sent him flying. He crashed painfully into the tree Alfie was behind.
Alfie had finished reciting the portal spell, when Derrick crashed nosily into the tree. Great. He thought, annoyed at the twins, not only because they had Renee. Because they had hurt Derrick. He unsheathed his sword and leaped out at Ken. Alfie brought his sword down hard on the bandages that held Renee. Black swirls of smoke drifted slowly from the bandages and wrapped around Alfie's sword, in an attempt to crush it, but Alfie won. The bonds snapped and Ken threw his head back and howled in pain. Akako ran over to him a growing look of concern on his face. He glared daggers at Alfie, who just smiled and patted his sword's hilt, before putting it back in it’s sheath and catching Renee before she hit the ground. The twins had been born with their bandages and were supposedly unbreakable. But his sword could cut through anything.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew him over, breaking his reverie. The twins were leaving. They bounded into the night sky, beating the air with their enormous wings, sending any loose leaves spiralling in their wake. "We'll be back for Renee." They hissed, disappearing into the black sky. Alfie suppressed a shiver going down his spine. He sighed and walked over to where Derrick was lying. He was bleeding from a nasty cut on his forehead.
"My head hurts, Alfie." Derrick managed to croak out. Alfie picked him up by the scruff of his jacket and slung him over his other shoulder. Cradling Renee in his arms he stepped behind the tree and into the portal he had opened earlier.
