A New Age

Chapter 4 Attack

Raina slowly got up from the bed. She didn't think s*x would be so painful after, was it always like that? She wondered. God she hoped not. She walked over to the closet and opened it. Then frabbed some clothes that looked like they would fit her.

She then went into the bathroom and place the clothes by the sink and turned on the water, making sure it was worm enough before she got in. A normal day. That's what this was. And that's how everyday after this would continue to be.

She quickly washed her self, then dried herself off put on the clothes and went back out to the room to put on some shoes. That was when she heard a knock on the door.

"One second" she yelled as she stood up from the bed. When she opened the door a man stood there in a hotel uniform pointing a gun at her stomach. "I suggest you do as I say before I shoot you," he said. "I suggest you put the gun away before I make you unable to walk again" she told him in a serious tone.

As soon as he put the gun against her blood exploded out of his legs causing him to fall to the ground and scream out in pain. "Great now I have to change again" she said annoyed his blood splattered all over her as he continued to scream.

Edward along with a dozen other people ran to the door. "Raina what happened?" He asked as he jumped over the still screaming man to his wife who was now leaning against the door in shock. "H-he knocked on the door so I answered and he pointed a gun at me" she said fearfully "i-i was so shocked I lost control of my power and blood just blew out of his legs" she said. Man she was a good actor.

"Someone get him out of here" Edward said hugging his wife. "Yes sir" the people who had come with him said as Edward slammed the door.

He then picked up Raina and began carrying her to the bed "hey" she said surprised. He then gently placed her on the bed "are you alright?" he asked kneeling down and looking up at her. "I'm fine just a little surprised" she told him.

"I didn't think they'd target you so quickly" he said. Raina looked at him confused. "Target me? What are you talking about?" Raina asked. "Earlier when I left I was told that a new group going by the name Arc has made a threat against us" he told her. "If you and I don't get a divorce. They will go to war with us" he added. "Just because we got married?" She asked he nodded.

"What will you do?" She asked. "I intend to follow our agreement after all if I listened to every threat then terrorists would be running Dominica" he said. "For now though I suggest you keep up that innocent act you played before" he said standing up. "If you ever have to reveal yourself to them it would make a great plot twist" he said with a wink.

A smile suddenly came over Rainas face. "I can do that but I have an idea" she told him.

It was only a day later they followed through with it after a lot of discussion. Before they knew it Raina was standing behind a podium, infront of dozens of reporters with Edward by her side.

"Yesterday morning I was attacked by a new organization known as arc" she stated with her voice full of fear. "If it wasn't for My husband I could have died" she told them before stepping back for Edward to talk into the podium. "I will say this once and only once" Edward said into the mic. "Raina is and always will be queen of the Shifters anyone who threatens her threatens me and will be disposed of immediately" Edward continued as he stared directly into the camera.

Then Edward pulled Raina into a side hug and walked off stage with her. "Do you think it worked?" She asked as she looked up at him. "I have no doubt it did" he replied to her. Make her a ln even bigger target that was the goal. Edward was worried but he had no doubt she could protect her self. After all she was a Michaels, and they were widely known not only for there power but their violent nature's.

"If I'm right they'll make themselves known. then we can hit them head on and burn them to the ground" she told Edward as they made their way out of the building. "Your far more violent then I thought you'd be" he told her with a chuckle. "It's how I was raised" she told him. "I want to watch the world burn" she said as Edward opened the car door for her. "Deep down I think we all do" she added. As she got into the car.

"Is this how you intend to do it?" He asked. "Watching the world burn I mean." He said. As the car began to move "no" she told him "but if I just so happen to be the one to start the fire... would you stop me?" She asked him. "I'd be the one to give you the gasoline" he said with a smile.

Suddenly there was an explosion infront of the car causing it to go flying back and roll. Rainas ears rung as she opened her eyes realizing she was hanging upside down. "RAINA ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Edward yelled as her ears continued to ring. He was right side up kneeling on the ceiling of the car as he grew a dragon claw. "I'm gonna cut you out" he told her. He didn't have a scratch on him. Was it because his Shifter form was a dragon. Then were did all this blood come from? She wondered as he cut her out and caught her then slowly dragged her out of the car.

Edward stood up holding up Raina as she also stood with her arm wrapped around his neck. "It looks like you really did give me the gasoline" she said aloud as she stared at the damage of the other cars that were on fire in the middle of the road.
