"What...are you doing?" DarkClaw snarled and gripped his fist.
        "K-king DarkClaw, I-I..." Kayden was at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say or how to say without sounding extremely bad. "Well sir...uh..." he stammered.
        "He was attempting to hurt the girl" Stated the Sun Guardian as Lucas ran up to Lucy and helped her up.
        "Is that so?" DarkClaw asked with an angry look in his eyes.
        "Yes my lord..." the Sun Guardian said. DarkClaw didn't like what he heard.
        "Lucas" DarkClaw said, leaving Lucas shocked.
        "Yes sir?" he asked.
        "Take the girl to the nurse immediately," he ordered, Lucas nods. Lucas helped Lucy up and carried her to the nurse. DarkClaw looks to Kayden, who knew he was very screwed cause DarkClaw witnessed his horrid behavior.
        "You dare strike another of your fellow students? Only because she doesn't have a guardian?!" DarkClaw asked.
        "Yes sir" Kayden said, now smug. "That bitch will never get one, not if I have anything to say about I-" Kayden didn't even finish when DarkClaw slapped him across the face.
         DarkClaw snarled after he did, leaving the other onlooking students shocked. DarkClaw is never to show violence to anyone unless it's necessary.
         "So you think she'll never have a guardian? Well..she does now" DarkClaw said, Kayden and the rest of the students were shocked. DarkClaw walks past Kayden, "and if you dare hurt her again, there will be consequences..." he snarled as his covered eye glowed red. Kayden shakes, his Fire Guardian appeared to see if he's ok. The Fire Guardian snarled but froze upon seeing who it was, it soon bows.
        DarkClaw leaves, WhiteClaw is behind a corner, WhiteClaw saw everything and smiles.
        "Like I said brother, have faith" she said to herself as Alastair leaned against the wall.
        "It's ok...I feel another presence with the girl, though I'm not sure of who yet" Alastair said.
        "Huh, how odd," WhiteClaw said. She thinks "Could it be..." she thinks.
        "Let's worry about, let's just go check on the girl," Alastair said.
        "Fair enough," she said as she teleports them to the nurses office.
        "You were lucky to catch him my lord, Kayden is relentless when it comes to the other students..." the nurse said using her healing powers to help Lucy.
        "Please tell me he will at least get in trouble" DarkClaw said.
        "With you anything is possible" she said.
        "That's reassuring," he said, Lucy groans as she wakes up.
        They look at her surprised, Lucy sits up and rubs her eyes in pain.
        "Ow..." she murmurs.
        "Are you alright dear?" asked the nurse.
        "Yeah...I'm ok" she said looking up, once she saw DarkClaw her eyes widened.
        "You should count yourself lucky dear, DarkClaw here was able to save you at the right moment" the nurse said. Lucy blinks in surprise, DarkClaw just chuckled amused.
        "It's a pleasure to meet you," DarkClaw said. Lucy blinks.
        "Um. you too sir" Lucy said shocked.
        "Now sir, I need to gather some paperwork, would you mind watching Lucy for me until I come back?" the nurse asked.
        "Of course" DarkClaw said. The nurse bows and soon leaves, Lucy is shocked as she looks up at DarkClaw.
         DarkClaw soon sat down, he saw nothing.
        "So...Um...what brings you here?" Lucy asked, DarkClaw looks at her.
        "Oh, I saw that you were about to be punched by that boy, I couldn't just sit there and do nothing," he said.
        "I see..." Lucy said.
        "So you don't have any Guardians?" DarkClaw asked. Lucy looks, she nods embarrassed.
        "Well. you do now" he said, Lucy looks shocked. DarkClaw smiled, he kneels down to her.
        "Are...are you sure?" Lucy asked, DarkClaw nods.
        "Yes, I'm sure" DarkClaw said calmly, Lucy looked down, she sighed.
        "Alright, but currently my mom is away on business, so I'm by myself for a few days" she said.
        "Don't worry, I'll have Alastair stay with you" DarkClaw said smiling a warm, soft smile, Lucy gave a confused look.
       "Who's Alastair?" Lucy asked, DarkClaw looks back as the dark shadow from before appears, Lucy was shocked. "It's you?!" she said shocked.
       "Glad to see you remember me" Alastair smiled.
       "He will be staying with you until your mom comes back" DarkClaw said smiling, Lucy just nods and smiled. Soon WhiteClaw appeared near her brother.
       "Ah, there you are brother, I see you found our Anchor" WhiteClaw smiled.
       "Indeed I have a sister" DarkClaw said smiling.
       Soon the nurse came back in.
       "I spoke to the principal and she agreed to let you go home Lucy, she's handling Kayden" the nurse said, Lucy stiffened at the mention of Kayden.
       "Don't worry, he will be properly dealt with by the proper authorities" Alastair said. Lucy looks and soon stands up, Alastair helps her up gently, she looks and smiles. Lucy looks for her backpack.
      "Where's my bag?" Lucy asked.
      "Oh! The nurse went to get it" DarkClaw said, the nurse walked over with Lucy's bag.
      "Oh, thank you ma'am" Lucy said, grabbing her bag back from the nurse.
      "Come one, I'll take you home" Alastair said walking her to her home, the students watched her curiously. Lucy didn't look at anyone as she walked with Alastair, neither of them talked or even addressed each other. However, Alastair spoke up first.
      "So Lucy, what do you want to eat?" he asked. Lucy looks up at him.
      "oh...I haven't thought about it..." Lucy replied, "I could go for a cheeseburger" she said. Alastair smiled.
      "Cheeseburger it is" Alastair said, walking her to get a cheeseburger. Lucy smiled, she was excited to get her food, whoever, she did get looks from passers by, Lucy's happy smile faded from the angry looks and murmurs.
     "Can you believe they would choose a child!" one woman said glaring at Lucy.
     "I know! Isn't that the girl Kayden likes?" the women's friend asked. Lucy was shocked by this info.
     "Yes, that is exactly the girl, but...why is she so scared..." the woman asked, speaking to no one in particular. Lucy looked away, Alastair had overheard the conversation, he glanced back at them and narrowed his eyes.
     "Here's your food sir" the cook said bringing back Alastair's attention, he smiled and took the food and handed it to Lucy, who took it from him and went to sit at a table. Alastair glanced at the women and went to sit with Lucy, the staff got a chair big enough for Alastair to sit in. Lucy opened up the burger and was about to bite into it, when the woman and her friend walked up to them.
    "Excuse me dear" Spoke the women, Lucy stops mid bite of her burger. She looked over at her and removed the burger from her mouth.
   "Yes?" she asked.
   "Are you Lucy by chance?" the women asked. Lucy hesitantly nods. The women smiled, "Good, I just want to know what your relationship with my son Kayden is," the woman continued.
   "Um...uh.." Lucy was at a loss, she didn't know if she should say what she wanted to say, however Alastair knew exactly what to say.
   "Your son's attitude is garbage" Alastair said, the women looked at him surprised.
   "I beg your pardon?" she said almost sounded offended.
   "Perhaps you're too deaf or to stupid, his attitude...is garbage" Alastair repeated, his eyes now glowing red.
   "My son is well mannered thank you!" the women said.
   "Umm...I'm but...he's right...Kayden...he..." Lucy began saying, the woman looks and kneels down.
    "He what?" she asked.
    "He attacked her," Alastair said, completing Lucy's thoughts. The woman froze and soon looked at him.
    "He...what?" she said again, this time fuming with anger. Not at Alastair, but at Kayden.
    Soon her phone started to ring, the woman looked and grabbed her phone, she soon answered.
    "Hello?" she speaks. The voice on the other end was the principal, "yes this is" the woman said knowing what the phone call was about, but shock soon came across her face. "Kayden's...what?!" she said. The principle confirmed what she just said, Kayden's mom took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll come pick him up, his father WILL be hearing about this" she said. "Yes, thank you...goodbye" Kayden's mom hangs up and takes a deep breath.
    "So now you know" Alastair said. Kayden's mom looks at him and nods.
    "Yes, thank you so much for telling me sir" Kayden's mom smiled bowing and taking her leave. Her friend followed after her.
     Lucy watches, soon she takes her burger and bites down into it. Alastair looked and smiled shaking his head, Lucy was hungry and enjoying her burger.
    "Enjoying the burger?" he asked, Lucy nods her head while chewing. Alastair smiled and watched the crowd around him. Lucy continues to eat her food, soon a group of boys and their girlfriends walk in, one boy looks at Lucy and smirks, he soon grabs one of his shoes.
    "Hey Loser! Catch!" The boy threw the shoe but Alastair caught it with his tail, much to the shock of Lucy and the group of teens.
    "Oh Shit..." one of the boys said in fear and shock.
    Lucy looks at Alastair as he stands up and grabs the shoe from his tail.
    "Throwing a shoe at someone is considered assault," Alastair said, tossing the shoe back and forth from each of his hands.
    "Whatever" the boy summoned his guardian, which was an Earth base, Alastair looks as calm as can be. The Earth Guardian charged , but soon Alastair's eyes glowed and the Earth Guardian froze in place, soon he was turned to stone, the boy was shocked as was Lucy. "no..." the boy began tearing up, soon Alastair waves his hand the Earth Guardian regains its colors and it gasps for breath.
    "You attack me one more time, or lose your head" Alastair said, tossing the shoe back to the boy, who caught it. "If you're afraid hold onto that, and never mess with Lucy again...now...LEAVE!" Alastair shouts the last part, his glowing bright red, the group recoiling from fear and they soon run out.
    "Let's get out of here!" one of the boys shouted as they ran out. Onlookers watched in shock and fear, Lucy was shocked, Alastair soon sat back down and looked at her, his eyes returning back from their normal shade of color.
    "Oh! That was one of my powers, Petrification as I call it, basically it turns Guardians AND humans to stone" Alastair said. Lucy was shocked.
    "That has to be one of the most OP powers ive ever seen," Lucy said, Alastair chuckled amused.
    "I guess, it's nowhere near DarkClaw and WhiteClaw's power. Theirs...is different in a way" Alastair said rather sad, Lucy looks and was concerned, but Alastair shook her head. "But that doesn't matter," Alastair said smiling now. "What does matter is that you're safe." he said with a smile.
    Lucy gave a soft smile.
   "Can we take some food to go so I can have some dinner later on?" she asked, Alastair nods and smiled.
   "Of course" Alastair said. Soon they head off to get more food to go, meanwhile DarkClaw and WhiteClaw were discussing something.
    "I know you sensed the same thing as I have brother, he's close to returning and he will take vengeance on us for banishing him to another world..." WhiteClaw said. "Since we found our Anchor, you will be more than happy that Alastair is doing his job in protecting Lucy until further notice" WhiteClaw said.
    "It's good news to hear sister...but I fear it wouldn't be enough..." DarkClaw said, "and even if the slim possibility that he won't return, we must make sure he doesn't return here" DarkClaw added.
    "Indeed...may God and our mother watch over us..." WhiteClaw said, DarkClaw looks down.
    "I agree White..." he said tearing up. "I agree...".
