The Chapt 4
The three of us was now standing over her, Laris lay her on her back, I hadn't even bruised her face, blood was coming from the cuts in her knuckles… no doubt from the amount of punches she had landed on me.
"She's not my date and I didn't bring her here…" I broke the recurring silence.
"What do you mean?" Marcus asked
Laris looked at her… And then at me… and then at Marcus (who was trying to hide a smirk by looking at the floor) his mouth had turned to a large O shape and his eyes had widened.
"…WHA…NO WAY….Noct... This chick…your face" Pointing at the dried blood that was on my sour face "SHE made you bleed? ... This woman…? …"
His mouth slowly began to stretch into a wide grin. I could feel it coming, it was too early and I was too tired to cope with one of his laughing fits. I just fixed a burning look at him.
"Is there a problem with that?" I scowled.
"… I just... Never thought you actually had blood in your body..." he smiled
He knew that I was getting annoyed, yet he was obviously treasuring the scene that was laid before him. Just as Marcus had buried his smirk he put on his serious face back on.
"That's enough Las…funny as it may seem, this woman drew blood from Noct… out of all the Psicons. She could be a potential threat; since she's the only one alive we might as well take her to the prison cells"
I haven't even told you guys what actually happened…
When we heard a small but soft groan, we all turned to see the boy whose face was as pale as his hair.
"You left one of them alive? Geez Noct... You're getting sloppy" Laris picked up his shotgun from the side of the woman, and aimed at the young boy…
"Don't"
Placating my hand on the barrel of his gun and slowly lowering it; I could tell that he was important to the woman… maybe I could use him for leverage.
Both he and Marcus looked surprised at me; I was going to start explaining what they had missed… if the reflections of a certain friend's glasses hadn't distracted me.
"Vince!… you never guess what the one and only just did to this beauty…. … … … "
Laris continued with his rant… as Vincent just looked at the woman…always the last to arrive; proberly parked the car as far away from the castle.
Being my personal driver and another good friend of mine, he's proberly the most professional out of all of us… including me.
"Are you O.K?" Vincent asked
I blinked a few times from the surprising question and feeling a little embarrassment; I rubbed my dry bloody forehead and muttered.
"I'm fine…I was just … surprised" partly telling the truth.
"… Can you believe that Noct got beaten by a woman…. How did she even hit you? ... I can barely land a punch to you; she must have got you from behind…didn't she?"
Laris was still in the phase of shock... He was the only one who was stuck in the moment, my annoyance at him had began to show in my eyes but, his grin was hidden when a extremely large pair of biceps wrapped around his neck, I couldn't help but let a smirk appear on my face, a smiling Marcus saved him from my anger.
".. Ahhh You're still so young, a woman that is still alive from a fight with Noct as well as landing a decent hit to him, such women do exist… she's proberly the sergeant of the Psicons"
Laris was now turning kind of blue, and I was feeling a little worried for him, Marcus had begun laughing, Laris was now pathetically slapping his hands of his arms, while I just stood there.
"She's not Psicon…"
Crouching next to the woman, Vincent was inspecting her. The echoing laughter faded into the silence, Laris who was painfully gasping for air. While we all just looked at Vincent
"She's a solider from Cocoon… Guardian Corps I'd say."
How did you know just by looking at her?
"You can tell, her figure suggests that she in good health, her boots have metal soles, proberly a requirement to make the hand combats more efficient…"
Yeah I should know.
He was pointing out the signs of this solider making his way up the evidence.
"Her red cape and the shoulder pad show that she's in a ranking, I don't know the ranking system of cocoon but it's difficult to get into it."
He then got up and slowly walked to her strange weapon, judging from the slight struggle he had in his face, it was proberly quite heavy.
"Amazing weapon." He whispered "Only the most skilled of soldiers in cocoon are given these, they take a lot of skill and strength to wield them. But what I don't understand is why she is here, Cocoon is a neutral state, they would never team up with the Psicons"
I felt a little relief, as Vincent said she's from a neutral county, I don't have to torture to get information out of her, but irritation was soon all I could feel, but looking at his genuine confused face I could only sigh,
With great pain and tiredness this solider again was in my hands, this time I was bridal carrying her, even with no bruises and small surface cuts, her insides were definitely wrecked, a couple of her ribs must be broken, and the way her left arm was swinging, A bone must have popped out of place.
Was this all I the damage I could inflict on you? My pride feels kind of hurt…
"Marcus, take the Piscon boy and put him in the infirmary, I have a feeling that he wasn't a Piscon before, but I need to interrogate him, Vincent, get information on this solider and make sure you confirm who she is and if she's really from cocoon, get a report and give it to me…" I gave them strict instructions, as I was about to crystallize away.
"What about me Noct?" I could tell he was hurt by be leaving him out, but he had really annoyed me this morning, he needed to pay.
With a sigh I turned my head a faced him with a slight grin " Laris you can clean up the dead Psicons"
"What? Come on Noct give me a real job!"
So now he decides he wants to do his job
"Fine, you can take the soldier' weapon and examine it, but be careful; it's strange and could be dangerous. When you are all done report back to me"
"Where are you taking her?" Vincent asked
I hope no-one would ask me that, but I suppose you guys are going to find out one way or another, I'll just gently tell you. Please don't get the wrong idea.
"When you guys have sorted your duties out I'll tell you what happened, but rest assured she needs constant supervision. I'm taking her to my room"
Even with my back turned I knew Laris was about to protest, but my answer was just a wind of crystal dust as I crystallized to my room.
Normal point of view
As the gust of crystal and wind died down, all 3 men were looking at each other, smirking. Knowing exactly what they were all thinking. Vincent was the first to break the smirking triangle.
"I guess we will have to wait for the true story"
With that he turned on his heel and exited the courtyard humming a little tune to himself.
"I'll see you guys later" with a flick of his hand above his head signalling his good bye Vincent was engulfed in sunlight.
"Well. This is going to be an interesting day eay kid"
Marcus smacked Laris' back and walked over to Hope, as thou he weighted like nothing Marcus headed to the infirmary.
As laris stood there. The stench of dead bodies was increasing the longer he stood there,
"Man… I feel sorry for the ones who have to clean this up" he grunted at himself and made his way to blaze edge, thinking it was not much heavier then his own shot gun, he was badly mistaken, gripping the handle he tried to lift it up… CLICKK…..
SHIT. Fuck ! This is not a normal weapon!
Holding his back like an old man he got his phone out and whispered to himself. "I feel sorry for those soldiers who have to carry that weapon"
He got out his phone and dialled
"Hello… this is the personal body guard of Prince Noctis Lucis Cealum. I need the most experienced crime scene cleaners you've got, there's A LOT to clean"
Thanks please review :]
