(Rena's POV)
"Alright, everyone but Elsword come on down for breakfast!" I shouted. The Elgang started to enter the kitchen one by one.
"Good morning Rena!" Chimed Chung.
"Finally I'm starving!" Raven quickly ate his scrambled eggs.
Eva and Aisha showed up together."Good morning!" They said in unison.
"Good morning everyone!"
"Hey let's go out for dinner this Saturday!" Said Aisha.
"That came out of no where." Pointed out Raven."What are you sick of Rena's cooking?"
"N-no just there's a festival on Saturday and I think we should eat there and relax a bit!"
"That's a good idea, but you and Eve have to let me pick out your outfits! I've already got some ideas stirring up in my mind!'' I had a sudden burst of energy."Ooh and don't forget to let me do your hair, you girls are gonna look SO cute."
"I don't remember what being in a festival is like, but I would like to go and find out!" I could tell Eve was excited to go.
"Before we can relax we need to train and do some chores!" Everyone groan "If you refuse to do it I'll make sure none of you sorry butts can go!" I studied the room for objections."Good, Eve since your still recovering you shouldn't train yet till next week. As for the rest of you we still need to find those Elshards so work hard!"
"I'll stay home and do some housework. I need to do some repairs on my staff anyways." Aisha explained."I promise after my staff is fixed I'll get right back to work!"
"Alright! As for the rest of you, let's move out!"
"Hey shouldn't we get Eve's drones stronger armor? They'll need it since the enemies are getting stronger." Chung pointed out.
"I think its a good idea." Said Eve.
"Eve are you okay with this?" Ask Moby.
"Yes, I think guys should get stronger armor too. You'll be stronger, and together we'll be able to help the others out more."
Eve's drones nodded in response."Alright then let's move out!" I shouted.
(Eve's POV)
I return to my room right after breakfast. My mood quickly darken when my eyes caught the ring case sitting on the floor. Many questions started to run through my head, who sent this? How do they know my name? And how do they know where I live?! I quickly erase those thoughts out of my mind.
"Alright time to get rid of this thing!" I open my window and throw the case out with all my strength. I feet relieve as I see the case fly away from me."Hmm what should I do to pass the time.." I start to dig around my room for something. Then a book caught my eye, I realize it was a photo album.
I gaze upon the pictures. They all look familiar but I cant remember the time when these were taken. As I turn to the 4th page I notice pictures of me and that jerk. I want to rip these pictures out and burn them, but something inside of me held me back. I look at the pictures. They look as though it was all taken on the same day, Elsword and I were at that park, while the others were playing soccer in the background.
"Stupid jerk!" I turned to the next page and noticed a pink note slipped out. I opened it, on it said;
Dear Eve,
Thankyou for always sticking by me. I owe you alot, and I hope that we can become closer friends! Please enjoy the chocolates, and happy Valentines day!
Your friend,
Elsword.
He almost sounds innocent in this note! I remember him saying he was just acting it all out, I feel my eyes burn but I held back the tears."It's not worth crying over someone like him!" I said as I quickly close the I notice a rock flew in my window.
"N-no, not again ." I was shaking with fear. Like the last rock this one also has a letter attach to it with a pink ribbon. My legs turn to jelly as I make my way towards the rock, regretting every step I take. I could barley cut the ribbon with my shaking hands, but I manage to cut it. This time the note said;
I'm here to get you!
I feel the chills run through my body, my heart flew South for the winter. Then a shadow appeared from behind me.
(Aisha's POV)
"Alright that should fix it!" I let out a big stretch."Now all I have to do is wait while my staff recovers back its energy." I manage to fix my staff, while making it stronger than before, I'm proud of myself.
I went to pick up the sheet of paper Rena left behind."Hmm, I think I'll start with the laundry oh that reminds me the dishes still need to to cleaned.. I'll do that after dusting th-" I was interrupted by an ear splitting scream."Eve!"
Suddenly Eve bursts out of her room, she stumbles down the stairs. I was about to approach her when I see a man following her out of her room. I flinch in fear. This man looks very familiar.. where have I seen him before..? Then it hit me.
"Are you Banthus?" No he looks different..
"Hehe! Close! That was my big brother, that your leader killed!My name is Baron, I'm unlike my brother though, while he lived his life hiding behind his allies I train day and night by myself, to steal anything that can give me unlimited power, and total control of all things living and non living!"
I could clearly tell he wasn't Banthus. He's a bit shorter, and the right side of his body is robotic, the other half is human. I'm not sure what he did to get that robotic side of him but I know that he's clearly stronger than his brother! He also gives off a very powerful amount of magic, but there's more to it.. yes there's no mistake!
"You have an Elshard don't you?!"
"Your a clever one! Let me tell you a little secret, unlike the other monsters you fought I have bonded with the Elshard, and it has become apart of my body! The only way to get it is to kill me!" He laughs."Your smart, I'm sure you can tell beating me won't be as easy as beating my brother!"
I step back knowing that was the truth. I'm completely helpless in this situation!"Even though you have the Elshard I won't let you kill me or Eve!"
"But I'm not planning to kill her!"
I let my guard down once I heard his answer."Wait your not here to kill E-?"
Next thing I knew Baron jumps over and grabs my neck with his robitic hand. He began to tighten his grip, making it hard to breath. I was lifted up, trying to gasp for air but my efforts were useless his grip is just too strong! My vision begins to blur, I try to take one more deep breath in, but now all I can see is darkness.
(Eve's POV)
I watch as Aisha try to take one more breath, her eyes roll back before closing them. Her body relax, Baron dropped her to the ground, but she didn't make a noise she stayed silent.
"Aisha! Aisha are you okay?!" I can't hold the tears back anymore. They began to pour down."I wish I remembered how to fight! If I did then maybe I could have saved you!"
Baron walks towards me. I slowly back away, the images of my friend being strangled returning."Stay away from me!" Before I knew it I backed on to a wall. I'm cornered now.
"Now I can finally claim my prize." He dug through his pocket and held up a white clothe
I flinch in fear. He covers my face with the clothe. I could still breath but somethings wrong! My vision starts to blur, I can't stand up straight it's like the world is tipping sideways. I start to fall to my right, Baron catches me before I could hot the ground. He puts the clothe over my face once more and the world became pitch black.
I wanted to redo this chapter, but hey it's not that bad ^^ Hope you enjoyed it! Next chapter is gonna be fun to write about!
