AT12S#2

With an innocent smile, Jamnia went her way asking permission from her Father. She's going out on a date with Dustin to celebrate their first anniversary. With the excuse of doing some important projects, her Dad eventually subdued to her persistence.

"Thanks Dad." The latter said as she hugged her father.

"Come home early Sweetie, we'll wait for you."

"No need to wait for me Mom, I can manage." She said in reassurance.

"What's with the dress Jam? Does your project has to do anything with it?"

Jamnia tilted her head in disapproval. She knows how strict her father is, coming from a religious and reserved family.

"Can't I? I just wanna be the teenager that I am Dad."

"You know the consequences Jam."

The teenager didn't respond and headed out as she felt guilty for what she's already done. But her love for Dustin was greater, she's prepared for the consequences that might occur. They hid their relationship for a year, hiding it for another year won't be a problem, she thought.

Her lips couldn't stop to form a smile as she saw a familiar face waiting for her. With a red polo shirt and black pants, the guy seemed like a cute little boy in his peek.

"Oh, you look mature Babe. I know cheap restaurant nearby." He joked.

"It's not funny Babe, I've prepared for this!"

"Sorry Babe, I know it's embarrassing. I'll take you to a fancy restaurant for our second anniversary, I promise!"

"It's fine, what you've done earli-." Her words paused as he intently looked at her.

"You look beautiful."

"W-well! You don't."

"Hop in, we'll be in trouble if Dad sees us." He handed a helmet for his girl as she gave him a disgusted look.

"Dad your face!"

"Well, soon to be father." She smiled as she hugged Dustin from behind.

The two of them swiftly drove through the city lights.

--

Both of them did what a normal teenager would do in their dating days. Joyfully strolling in every famous park there is, eating street foods along the way. Going to the Mall to watch a romantic film has always been in their list. Of course the sweetness of the two could not be contained, the lovers did outrageous stuff that teens in the past couldn't do. It was Jamnia's first time as she was always been a good girl, like earlier she didn't care about what the people might say and just enjoyed every moment of it.

Currently both of them are on the edge of a cliff, back then it was a tourist spot that has been closed for years but Dustin made an effort for them stay a moment. The dashing city lights were the most beautiful things Jamnia has ever seen as it became more special together with her boyfriend. The fresh air are alongside the silence that only comes when two people understand each other made it more romantic.

Along with a picnic basket and a blanket, they talked about the future. Who wouldn't? They've been together for a year.

"Babe, what if we'll be separated someday?"

"It would be okay, as long as we've let each other go."

"What if we go through some shit that'll separate us? What would you do?" He seriously asked. A cold breeze passed by as they hugged each other tighter.

"Then I would do anything, everything for us to be together again! We love each other right?"

"I'm so lucky to have you!" He pinched her cheeks. "Likewise, I'll do everything for us to be together! Just don't go finding other men when I'm not around."

"This is getting cheesy!" She giggled but then she eventually stopped. She noticed how Dustin seemed to be serious. "Never will I do that Babe, how about you?"

"I won't, not like the other guys." The proudly said.

"Let's just see about that."

It was unexplainable as many things are, the both of them suddenly stared at each other. It lasted like forever, no one dared to ruin the silence. Admiring each others innocent faces, it's like time slowly move as they heard each others breath. Their faces went closer and closer, hesitating to make another move they halted. It felt that it was the right to do, both never kissed someone except their dogs and parents.

Is this it? Am I gonna surrender my first kiss to the person in front of me? The two asked themselves.

"Bullshits."

In a split second they saw themselves almost falling from the cliff. The barrier that's protecting anyone falling was broken by an unknown force. Stains of bloods was recognizable from the picnic blanket to the end of the cliff. Just one wrong move both of them could fall and die.

"Jamnia, don't move..." He instructed, even with multiple wounds he wanted the safety of his girl.

"Dustin, how did this happen?" Jamnia asked as her hands slowly losing it's grip. Everything was a blur to them, the only thing they wanted was to survive.

"How cute..." A sinister voice echoed the dark area of the forest. "Get her, kill the guy if you want to. We just need the girl."

Two figures caught their attention, standing with a smirk on their faces Jamnia knew something was wrong. With nasty outfits and tattoos on their bodies the gigantic lad headed towards them.

"Hurry before those brats arrive."

Single handedly Jamnia was lifted mid-air, she tried to escape and struggle but it was futile. The guy carried her with ease as annoying laughs seeing a couple struggle filled the air. Dustin hurried and miraculously he was able to climb away from death trying to save his girl. He tried to tackle the gigantic lad but with an effortless punch, Dustin was unconscious. Jamnia started crying as she couldn't understand what's happening, she only wanted to be happy.

"Weakling." The guy said as he looked at the unconscious lad with his cold eyes.

The girl was thrown like a garbage on the bloody ground, her flesh was shaking from fear. She didn't had the strength to escape as she saw her boyfriend unconsciously bleeding in the ground. The girl with a filthy smile held Jamnia's face with an intension to slap her, suddenly a golden light covered the whole place, it was blinding.

"Gate of the Lion, I call thee Leo!"

After the golden light disappeared, a new guy was standing near them. Like the light, he had a golden hair with peculiar golden eyes. Beside him is a human like lion, it has the features of a lion yet it acted like a human being. With it's sharp claws and big teeth, the intimation aura it gives off is big. However Jamnia couldn't believe what she's seen, she thought it was the effect of her losing blood.

"Leo, you know what to do."

"Oh isn't this the strongest celestial spirit Leo, how lucky of us to have a match with you." The girl arrogantly said and revealed her own key. "Gate of thee Fly, I open thee Musca!"

A sudden appearance of a topaz colored light blinded Jamnia. With wings behind it's back and a head that reassembles a fly, Jamnia blinked twice to confirmed what's she's seen.

"I'll deal with you later." The gigantic lad coldly summoned his own key. "Gate of thee Lizard, I summon thee Lacerta!"

A man with a characteristics of a lizard appeared right in front of him. As she's seen three peculiar monster, Jamnia's heart was beating crazily.

"Let's see how you handle both of them kid, even your golden key. You might not handle it." The girl laughed insanely. "Release." A dark cloud of gas conjured in her hands.

The two beast was slowly changing, they became more vicious and wild. Black veins was visible from the two monsters, as if that gas was a drug. The place eventually was covered in loud explosions as both sides were fighting for one thing, that was Jamnia herself.

The girl couldn't tell what's real anymore as she's seen many impossible things in just a few minutes. As if she was in some kind of fantasy movie, all she wanted to do was to leave along Dustin but she didn't even had the strength to stand.

"Release her and you may live longer." The guy with the golden hair commanded, the two was just amused by his ego.

The place slowly turned pitch black in Jamnia's vision.

Dustin, how are we going to escape?
