Vengeance

Life. 4
That night, the Lucas was giving me some training how to use my sacred gear. It was pretty intense, because I need to figure out how this thing works.

"Alright Joey, use your will to use the sacred gear."

"Okay I think I can do that."

"Activate! It said it can double my power!"

[Boost!]

"I can feel it! I can the power surging through me!"

-WHOOOOSH-

-Shink-

He was about to strike at me with his katana, but he stop right at the spit second. It was a close call but it is for a good cause.

"Joey, you mustn't linger while you power up. You must keep on your toes while you are in a fight."

"Okay, I think I'm getting the hang of this power a little."

The next morning, I was thinking about Cris and how she is doing. But wait a minute! If she has the gift of healing, then that is what the fallen angels are after! So how long am I gonna sit around? So I got dressed, went downstairs, and headed out to find her. Then I found her casually walking around.

"Joey?"

"Cris."

It looked like she was grabbing a bite to eat, so I joined her. I recommended this burger place that I usually go whenever I'm out for dinner. This was new to her and I kinda show her the ropes.

"Um Cristina?"

"Um yes?"

"This is how you eat these my dear."

I took a big bite of my burger and she was astonished.

"It's Good!"

"Oh yeah! Cristina, what are you doing around here?"

"Um, I was on break, so I decided to take a walk."

After hearing that, I was already thinking that she didn't like being in the church, considering that it is just an empty building.

"And I saw you in the street, and well I thought that--"

"Cristina!"

"Yeah?"

"Let us play our hearts content! huh?!"

"Huh...yeah!"

We when to the Arcade that wasn't too far from where we are and we played, FPS's, Fighting games she beat me in the first round, took a picture from the booth. We were at the ticket counter and she saw a plushy from the wall and I have more than enough for it. Naturally I got it and the rest of the tickets was spent on candy.

The worker happily greeted us in line. "Hi there!"

"hello." I respond.

"Is there anything you would like to spend your tickets?"

"Umm I don't know."

"What do you think, Cristina?"

"Cristina?"

"Huh? Nothing?"

"Oh. Do you want this plushy here?"

"So that's what you had your eye on."

"Well that's um yes."

"Okay we'll take that."

After that, we went near the fountain and rested there for a while. And I still have some injuries from the training last night.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just injuries from training."

She healed my shoulder and my ankle. I was really thankful and I felt better than new. She has told me about her past, About that her parents got divorced when she was a kid, and she had nowhere else to go. She had to work when she was young and she had enough to move out of her old place and started as a nun. Over her childhood she has deep commitment to the church. Then later on after that she was exiled from because her gift can even heal a demon too. Ever since then she was wonder, finding the Lord and where she belongs despite of what has happened to her. After that I said,

"Well, that explains that you are in par with the fallen angels."

"But I never stopped praying To the Lord, giving thanks to him."

"I know that the Lord tests us everyday"

"If I overcome this test, He will make my dream come true."

"Tell me, What is your dream?"

"To be in a family. to make friends, and we have fun together and buy books and to study the Lord's word. That is my dream."

Her dream just breaks my heart, and of course she was always alone. And I just made her dream come true, Right now, at this very moment.

"Joey?"
