Chapter Three:
Second Camp
I stood, confused and frozen. I was just about to break into tears, and then he kisses me. The words couldn't process in my mind, and I couldn't seem to grasp anything other than confusion. Had that really just happened?
"Well?" Rima yelled, taking me out of my stunned phase. I shook my head, sighing.
"Sorry."
"Sorry?" Rima countered, raising her eyebrows. "Why are you sorry? The prince of darkness just put his lips on you and you think you have to be sorry?" I wiped my lips with the back of my hand, trying to forget such a thing happened. It didn't feel like he had just kissed me…
"Well…we should probably get going," I stated, digging into my bag for the map again. Rima gasped.
"You were just taken into interest by one of the biggest enemies, and all you can think about is getting to the other camp? We have to return to Commander Kee and tell him about this news. Maybe we can use it to our advantage or-"
"No," I said. I couldn't take that chance, couldn't think that my contact with the prince of darkness was anything else, but I had a feeling that if I told on him, he'd get back at me. And it would most likely be brining me up in the sky and letting me fall.
"Why shouldn't we? He just kissed you!" Rima scowled. I shook my head.
"The prince of darkness has many maidens in his presence, you know that," I murmured, looking back down the alleyway. I began walking down again.
"I believe all those girls are angels of darkness though, and all are given from his father." Rima followed with her argument, and I sighed.
"Let's just forget this even happened." I pulled out one of the new vault devices made from Kairi. I really had to thank that boy.
"Forget it? I don't think so. In fact, I'll be-" I grabbed onto Rima, and pointed the gun toward the top of the brick wall. Firing, the thread like substance shot to the top, before looping us up and over. I closed my eyes again, before we tumbled back to solid ground.
Rima brushed off her clothes.
"And what was that?"
I blew over the tip of the gun. "A new invention from the weapons and devices department."
The sun was at its highest when we were about halfway. We tried conserving all the water we had, and the long armor in our clothing was only making it that much hotter. When it seemed Rima would boil over, I let my hair down.
"Need a hair tie?" I offered, but she shook her head stubbornly. I smiled. "C'mon, it'll help with the heat. Plus, we still have more to travel." After much silence, Rima accepted.
As she pulled her hair back into a bun, I looked around at our surroundings. Stores were left empty, doors still swinging open at the barrier. The once happy filled play ground was deserted, and left to rot like everything else. Walking down the road, many pot holes scattered around us from battles and explosions from before we were apart of this. No one had tried to fix the place up. No one cared.
I was still a bit tense, worried that somehow the prince was watching, lurking in the shadows of abandoned houses and hidden in park tunnels. What if he found out where our survival camps were? What would we do then?
I would have heard him. I told myself. I always knew when our enemies were near; whether it was the sound of their wings or footsteps against cement. I would have heard him, but I wondered, would I really hear him?
"How much longer?" Rima forced herself to say.
"Almost there," I answered.
The sun was now setting, and the near forest began to engulf us. Deeper inside, the river appeared and I smiled. "There, we're here."
I pointed at the hill and Rima actually smiled, walking ahead. We passed the wet leaves, and perched under the weeping willow were two giant boulders. Beside them were two cave like openings. One was opened with sunlight through the tunnel, and the other was pitch black. I walked into the dark one, feeling for the cold steel I knew laid under. Once I touched it, I turned the bolt and pushed through.
The hard doors opened with a low rumble. Like our vault, no light was turned on. I motioned for Rima to follow as I entered, and closed the doors. Lights snapped on all around. The brightest was piercing.
"Welcome back, Hinamori." General Jin's voice greeted us as I smiled. He was the exact opposite of Commander Kee; young, high spirited and even jolly at times. It was amazing to even call them father and son. The badges on his blue suit were polished as always. His real war days were not forgotten.
"Glad to be back, sir," I replied. Rima said nothing, as always, and I wondered if she forgot about the whole young prince thing. I pulled out the package and handed it to him. "Here. Commander Kee sent us to deliver this package." He nodded approvingly.
"Yes, good. I hope your trip was well," he stated, unwrapping the box. I could feel Rima's eyes bore into my head and I ignored them.
"Of course." She hadn't forgotten.
He opened the brown box where a letter and object lay. He read over the message quickly and his eyes widened in shock. I glanced at the box, but he was already sealing it.
"Girls, how long have you been out?" He asked, moving on with topics. He placed the box under his desk on the side of the room.
"All day, General." I said properly.
"Yes. Its sun down now, no doubt those creatures of darkness will be lurking around town. Why don't you stay the night?" He suggested.
I shook my head. "No, we promised Commander Kee-"
"I believe Commander Kee will be alright if you stayed one night. He's more concerned about losing his team than delivering messages. Now, I insist." General Jin smiled. I bowed and grinned as well.
"As you wish, sir." A lady in a black skirt and white blouse came in.
"Mimi, show these girls to their room." Mimi nodded and gestured for us to follow.
A long hallway passed and there were many filled rooms and people flowing through. I smiled at the thought of how many of us humans really had escaped. We were still here. This gave me hope.
"Here you go." She said as her heels stopped in front of a wooden door. "If you need anything, please feel free to ask." She smiled and walked back to her desk. I looked at the room.
The walls were a plain mustard yellow and one queen sized bed was placed in the room. Dim lights were on, giving the room some brightness and the bathroom was across the bed. I sighed at the closed door. How long had it been since I'd had a window in a room?
Rima went into the bathroom and I plopped onto the neat bed. It felt nice to relax again, but whenever I wasn't doing something, my mind always found time to drift. To the war, our hiding, the prince himself.
I shook my head, trying to think of nothing. My clothing stuck to my skin as I patiently waited for Rima to leave the bathroom. When she finished, I was able to take another cold shower and change into some P.J.s found in the corner. When I was done, Rima was fast asleep on the bed. I smiled.
How much longer would this war go on? I asked myself, before sleep found me.
"Mommy, what are those things coming out of the man's back?" I asked, pointing at the TV set. Mom came over and the screen went black.
"Nothing, why don't we play a game?"
"What do you mean school's canceled?" I asked curiously. Dad smiled unwillingly.
"They've decided to take a vacation."
"Hide while you still can. Escape! Survive!" The mayor pleaded. My eyes widened.
"AMU!" Mom yelled and turned off the TV. "N-Nothings going on, don't worry."
"Mommy, where's daddy?" I asked, confused.
"DAD!" I screamed as I sat up in the survival camp. Rima was still sleeping next to me, not even hearing my sudden out burst. Sweat trickled down my face and I took deep breaths. I glanced at the clock. Only six thirty four. I sighed and fell back onto the bed.
It's been so long since I thought of the past. It was so painful and sad I never wanted to think about it. When I was little, I'd wake up screaming and crying as mom rocked me back to sleep.
I glared at the ceiling. I hated my life.
I woke up again at nine forty seven, thankfully without anymore dreams. Rima was ready as she watched me get up.
"Are we leaving now?" I asked half asleep. I started to stretch. She nodded. "Okay." I changed into fresh clothes and put my hair back up into a ponytail. I hoped today would be cooler. We left the room and proceeded to the exit.
"Careful now, girls," General Jin spoke over his paper work. We nodded and left. The sun was hidden behind clouds as the wind howled. We had reached the town unnoticed. Or so I thought.
The sound a whipped wind caught my attention, and I turned sharply. Nothing was behind us, just the same empty road as before. I pulled my pistol from the back pocket of my jeans.
"What are you doing?" Rima hissed.
"Shh," I stated to her. I continued looking around at the stores and parks. Silence engulfed us.
"Nothings here, let's just go," Rima said, pulling my arm. I ignored her, still twirling this way and that.
C'mon. I just need one more sound…
Snap
I pointed my gun to the park tunnel. A black blob moved. "Gotcha."
I sprinted after the being I knew was an angel, before jumping into the air and falling over it.
The person made a low, 'humph' sound as I pointed my gun to their head. I gasped when I realized who I was holding down.
Under me was the prince of darkness himself, blood pouring from his wounded chest.
