Bloodlines part 1 [Book of Jakai]

I stare at the skeleton my face full of rage.

I Crack my knuckles, as I slowly walk toward it.

'My body isn't healed, and I'm only slightly stronger'

"Bastard! Using my dad as a puppet!"

I rush toward it my steps slowly becoming faster, as the wind whistled next to my face. I sidestep my dad's punch missing me slightly, I kick him hard, the force breaking my shin.

I growl in pain, but my steps don't falter. The skeleton comes closer and closer to view. My orange aura enveloping my skin, as I jump up.

Nearly 20 feet up, I tower over the fragile skeleton. Once the air starts hitting my skin, I raise my fist up over my head for a clean strike.

The skeleton raises its arms in a block, the slender bone makes contact with my fist.

[Bam!] My fist shatters, the bone breaking...

'Agh! Dammit why the hell is it so hard!?'

I step back, holding my knuckle as I bend down. My knuckle bones are petruding out of my hand, the blood trailing down like a river of blood.

I get up to my feet as the skeleton throws a punch, I avoid it clumsily falling to the side after dodging.

It kicks me making my ribs Crack, I scream in agony. Each strike feels stronger than the last one, it's almost like it's getting stronger...

I fly back after one of the kicks rolling on the dirt. Blood seeps off my mouth, but I hear a big impact after.

'It's not me getting hit.....wait, I can't see anything my vision it's, red'

I open my eyes to the limit, as I see my dad blow after blow attacking the skeleton viciously. Bones Crack from eachothers strikes, blood falls on the grass making a horrific blood painted circle of blood.

I stand on one knee, barely holding myself up, I see my dad slowly lose.

He gets punched in the gut by the skeleto.....wait why does the skeleton have patches of skin now?

The skeleton has patches of grey skin on its hands, as a glowing white light from its empty eye sockets shimmer inside.

My dad falls down, as I finally stand up. I remember my mom holding out her hand, as she fired a beam or blast from her hand.

My hand raises instinctively, as my body glows a orange aura around my hand. I open my eyes to look farther to aim at the skeleton/monster.

'Please....work'

I strain one eye open as my left closes, blood filling my left eye. As I use my right to finish my aim, the orange energy dissappears into my palm as a glowing orange sphere appears in my palm.

I flex my forearm, bicep, and hand as the sphere shoots away from me toward the creature.

The monster's here Jerks to the side as the blast makes impact with its skull. The monster falls sideways onto the dirt, as it's once white glowing eyes shimmer to a deep dark embrace.
