DREAM
"Guys, get out of here quick!" I yelled.
"No Lina...I, I wont leave you! Zelgadis take the girls and get out of here. Lina and I can handle this." Gourry said pulling him self off the ground and holding his shoulder that had blood seeping through his sleeve as he started towards me.
"Gourry get out of here now! You're already hurt I'll be fine just go!" I pleaded.
"Lina I'm your protector member? And that means I have to protect you no matter what! Besides I've been hurt worst before...someone has to protect you and that's me!" Said Gourry.
He was being such an idiot! They all were! They had to get out of here. If something happened to me they could at least stop this thing!
"Gourry I can protect myself! Don't be stupid! Now go!" I said.
"Lina your scared admit it your scared! You don't like the feeling do you? Lina stop trying to pull off the "I'm Lina Inverse and nothing scares me" thing. Because its not gonna work. Auburn, Reiya, Amelia, and Zel and I can all see past it. You think we cant but we can." Gourry said.
"Despite what you think Gourry I am not scared!" I said casting another fireball.
"Oh very good little girl but that wont work on me." Yami said interrupting the conversation.
"Well then I'll just have to try harder won't I?" I asked in a low voice.
"Ms. Inverse I highly suggest you come up with a better spell then that." Yami spat out rather conceitedly.
"Oh that won't be hard at all." I said smirking "DARK CLAW!" I screamed taking out one of Yami's legs but yet, surprisingly enough it grew back how ironic.
'DANM WHY DIDN'T IT KILL HER!' I thought to myself.
"Alright Yami tell me exactly what it is you want!" I yelled.
"You're an extremely powerful sorceress. With you helping me I can defeat anyone who stands in my way and rule!" Yami explained.
"Hey crazy lady get away from my best friend!" Reiya yelled.
"Yeah get away from her creep!" yelled Auburn.
"I swear if you touch her I'll slice you in half!" Gourry said trying to hold him self up since he had fallen again.
"POISON FANG!" Hissed Yami sending a poison into Gourrys already infected wound.
"Gourry are you alright?" I asked.
"Lina I'm fine. I promise...just do me a favor ok?" Gourry said
"Sure what is it?" I asked.
"Take her out." Gourry said trying to get up.
I nodded and turned to face the others.
"You got it. Zelgadis and Amelia get Gourry up and go heal him somewhere, Auburn and Reiya if you guys are gonna stay I'll need your help." I said feeling a little more confident.
"What do you need us to do?" Asked Auburn.
"I need you and Reiya to cast a Dragon slave with me, I think it might beat her." I said watching Yami move across the room making sure she wasn't near them.
"But what if it doesn't?" Reiya asked.
"Then we'll cast something else but this is worth a shot." I said.
"Do you really think that pathetic plan will work on me?" Yami asked.
END DREAM
"LINA WAKE UP!" Gourry yelled as he shook me.
"Lina are you ok?" Asked a concerned Reiya.
"Yeah, sorry, guess I had a bad dream." I said slightly embarrassed.
Reiya, I guess you're wondering who she is right? Well let me clear it up for you. Reiya and I are best friends. Reiya isn't very tall and like me we both get a hard time about out our chest size. She has red hair and red eyes. We're actually kind of similar in a lot of ways. We can both cast magic. She cast mostly ice spells. Reiya hates fire. But she can cast a fire spell if she has to.
"You had us worried." Said Auburn.
Ah yes Auburn. Auburn is an elf. She's pretty tall. Auburn has brown hair and brown eyes. Auburn can cast all different kinds of magic. Auburn is my other best friend. Much to Auburns dismay she's the mature one out of Reiya and I she's always trying to keep us out of trouble.
"Sorry." I said rubbing my head.
"Miss Lina what happened!?" Asked Amelia.
"It was nothing Amelia. Just a bad dream." I said.
"Well Lina I never thought you'd be the one to freak out over a nightmare." Zelgadis said.
"Yea yeah. Whatever." I said trying to wave it off.
"What happened in the dream?" Reiya asked.
"I don't really wanna talk about it." I said.
"Let's get you some breakfast maybe that will help; besides I'm starved!" Gourry said.
"Now you're talking!" I said giving Gourry a high five.
Everyone else just sighed at us and walked down to breakfast. The Inn had some awesome food. How were we supposed to control ourselves! Besides it wasn't like it was out of the ordinary for us to eat like pigs.
AFTER BREAKFAST
After breakfast we started walking. I kept my gaze on the ground and started thinking about my nightmare. Whenever I had a dream like that it was never just a dream. Ever since I was little that was how it had always been. At least one part of the dream would come true.
"Lina are you ok?" Amelia asked.
"I'm fine Amelia, I'm just thinking." I said smiling.
"Wait, Lina what's that up ahead?" Reiya asked.
It was Yami. She was huge! I took a deep breath and examined her. Her ugliness was disgusting! Bright green hair and pink and blue stripes going down her legs. I looked around to see if she brought any extra help the rest of the area looked safe. I hate spiders! They always cause a problem.
"This is weird; it doesn't look like she brought any of her minions." I said.
"That is a big spider." Reiya said as she hid behind my back.
"Reiya it's just a bug." Auburn said calmly.
"But it's a big bug." Reiya whimpered.
"You're not seriously afraid of that spider are you?" Zelgadis asked.
"It is pretty big." Amelia said hiding behind Zelgadis.
"Let's keep walking." I said with a sigh.
"How about you walk ahead and Amelia and I stay here?" Reiya suggested.
"I agree!" Amelia said.
"I don't think we have much a choice to do anything." Said Gourry.
"What do you mean Gourry?" I asked.
"She's kind of right behind you Lina." Gourry said rubbing the back of his head.
"AHHHHH!" Reiya and Amelia screamed.
"Hello Miss Inverse." Yami said
"What do you want from us?" Reiya asked stepping closer to me.
"I don't want a thing from you, you are useless! But I will tell you what I want." Yami spat.
Reiya shot a look at Yami and huffed. Auburn smirked but I kept my eyes on Yami. I wasn't going to let something get out of control.
"I want you Lina Inverse, to help me rule..." Before Yami could finish Lina interrupted.
"Yeah yeah, I've heard it all be fore and the answer is no!" I said firmly.
"Listen just because you have no sense of style and ugly hair doesn't mean you need to interrupt our journey." Reiya said.
"Lina come here I want to talk to you...alone." Yami said backing into the forest a little more
I thought about what she just said. Why would I go to talk with her alone? It was most likely a trap but I was a big girl I could take care of my self. Besides Yami couldn't be that powerful…right? I nodded and started following her.
"Lina what are you thinking?" Zelgadis scolded.
"It might be a trap!" Gourry said grabbing my hand.
"There's a good chance it might be. But we're just up the road a little and you can see me." I said reasonably.
"But Miss Lina! Let someone go with you!" Amelia pleaded.
"Guys, Lina will be fine we'll be able to see her if we need to help her." Reiya said.
"Yeah, besides your not gonna talk her out of it." Auburn said staying calm.
With that I smiled and walked up to where Yami was. I looked over at everyone and gave a small smile.
"Listen spider girl I don't have time to play these little games with you." I said.
"Well if you don't help me I can assure you, this will not be a little game anymore." Yami said.
"Yami I will not I repeat will not help you!" I said with frustration.
"Your evil Lina just like me, you've robbed people and killed the innocent ones with
your deadly attacks." Yami said bitterly.
"I have not killed an innocent person on purpose! I robbed people because I needed to eat and so do my friends! Besides what's wrong with taking a few things from those good for nothing thief's?" I asked getting defensive.
"You know you are Lina." Yami said in almost a whisper.
With that she disappeared into the forest and left me standing there. I walked back to where everybody else was anxiously waiting to hear what had happened. Of course they would want to know what I wasn't ready to talk.
"What did she say?" Amelia asked.
"Nothing, come on lets go." I said quietly.
"Lina I'm sorry, that I didn't warn you." Gourry said.
"Don't worry about it." I said plainly.
