I'm updating earlier then a week because a lot of people probably want to kill me right now. (Thank goodness they don't know who I am)
UlrichMerick
Without a Trace
Chapter 4
The truck hadn't stopped yet. Merick was still patronized with fear in the middle of the road. Odd and Yumi were staring in amazement as the person they think is Ulrich just sat there, in the middle of the road, not moving.
"Hey! Merick! Wake up already! Get your butt out of the road!" Sally called from the other side of the street. Merick shook his head as if waking from a dream, saw the oncoming truck, stood up, and ran to the other side of the street. The truck passed where Merick had just been.
"Thanks Sally," Merick said.
"What is wrong with you? Get you hood up now before someone recognizes you!" Sally said.
"Too late," Merick said. Odd and Yumi crossed the street, and Yumi put her arms around Ulrich again. There was a crowd across the street filled with old classmates from Kadic.
"Is that Ulrich?" one whispered to another.
"I think so. His hair is the right color, and it's the right face," they whispered back.
"Hello Ulrich. How nice of you to show yourself," a voice said from above them. They all looked up and saw William, a brown cloak hiding most of him. He jumped down and landed next to them. Merick tried to get Yumi off of him.
"What are you doing here William? I thought you were overseas," Yumi hissed at him.
"I was, but I met up with an old friend. X.a.n.a." he said. Merick knew exactly what side William was on now.
"Yumi, you need to let go, now!" he told her. She let go reluctantly, half expecting him to bolt again. "I'm gonna need you guys to get rid of this crowd," Merick told Odd and Yumi. They nodded, and ran to the crowd.
"You need to leave! You could be hurt or killed if you don't!" Yumi told them. Since Yumi had never spoken to anyone like that in a long time, they knew she wasn't lying. They turned around and ran.
"So Ulrich, or is Merick now? You thought you could hide from me simple by putting a cloak on? You were wrong!" William said. Merick didn't answer. Instead he punched William in the face.
"I've been waiting to do that for a long time," Merick said. William quickly regained his composure, and tried to punch Merick back. Merick easily blocked it, and then kicked William on the side of his face.
William fell to the ground.
"I see you can still fight. Five years in hiding hasn't done much to that," he said as he stood back up. "This should be interesting then."
William removed his cloak to show a variety of weapons all strapped on around his chest, and one sword on his waist. Only Heaven knows how he kept that hidden in the cloak. William unsheathed his sword first.
"William! What do you think you're doing?!" Yumi called from across the street.
"Relax Yumi, he won't be able to scratch me," Merick said.
"Or any of us for that matter!" Mike said from the top of a building. He jumped down next to Merick and took a fighting stance. Sally got into her fighting stance on the other side of Merick. All three of them had on black cloaks, which were quickly removed to show their own variety of weapons.
"I'd expect nothing less from my old foe," William said as he examined their ammo.
"What's he talking about?" Sally asked.
"I'll explain later," Merick answered. William advanced with his sword, ready to strike. Sally and Mike moved aside, and Merick quickly unsheathed his own sword that was strapped on hid back and parried William's blow.
Mike and Sally then stabbed daggers into William's back, forcing him to drop the sword.
"Let's go!" Merick said. The three of them grabbed their cloaks and put them on, and then ran down the street.
"This isn't over!" William called from where he was.
"Ulrich!" Yumi called from her side of the street. There was too much traffic to cross, and by the time there was an opening, Ulrich would be gone. "Ulrich," she said quietly. She dropped down to her knees and began to cry.
Odd and sat down with her; his own were tears beginning to form.
William stood up and backed into a portal. "This isn't over Stern. This is only the beginning!"
-End of Chapter 4-
There's your chapter. Now you have no reason to want to kill me. I hope.
I'll try and update within the week.
Now press the little square that says "go" and leave a review that says you forgive me and that you no longer want to kill me.
