To Finish The Fight, And To Get Lectured
Chapter Three of Number Thirteen
By Doom On Edward's Tomato Juice
Kade came. To help me...
"Kade...You didn't have to. And how'd you know?" I groan, trying to sit up, pushing 'Hughes' to the back of my mind.
"Aw! The news was buzzing at school about a crim out on the loose! And once they described what he looked like, I just had a gut feeling you'd be invovled! In a good way of corse!" Kade laughed, then turned to Nine.
I gasped when I saw he was holding a revovler gun, and scrambled to get to him. When I reached him, he held the gun back, aiming like an expert. I had alomst forgotten he had been a war survivor.
BANG!
I creeped back as the bullet hit Nine in the arm, sending yowls through the tiny neighborhood, and he fell to the ground, the blood pouring out to add with the other puddles.
"It shouldn't be long till the forces from North will get here, so let's try to keep him from doing anymore damage!" Kade yelled, jumping onto someone's porch, gun aimed again.
"YOU'LL REGRET THAT, FEEBLE HUMAN!" Nine roared, going for Kade like a canon.
He wouldn't survive! I screamed mentally as I flashstepped in front of the Drachman as Nine barroled into me.
(Kade's POV)
I stepped back, my golden revovler ready if the other chimera still wanted my guts. Edward had blacked out by the collision that had been aimed for me. I was saved yet again from death.
Suddenly, I heard the shake in the air as more guns went off, aimed at the black monster Ed had a connection with, sending it to the ground. The North Forces had come.
"EDWARD!" I heard a yell, and turned to see a raven-haired man run up to Ed. Must have been a relative.
"Be careful!" I yelled. "He's hurt!"
The man looked at me and gaped most likely when he realized I was Drachman. "What do you mean, hurt?" he asked, directing me to come over to him.
When I came over, I began to layout what part of the battle I had seen and been in, and when I completed my story, he looked at Ed, with a look of dismay.
What had happened to these two?
(Ed's POV)
I felt a hand on my forehead, stroking my blond hair back, and I could see an orange sunlight on my closed eyes. The adrenline rush I had felt when I tranformed minutes eariler was long gone, and I figured my cat battle features were most likely history as well.
I very slowly opened my eyes to the presence of a plain white hospital room. How long had I been out of it?
Sitting in a chair next to my bed was Roy, reading a brochure on a type of cancer I couldn't pronouce.
"Roy? Are you okay/" I asked, sitting up in my hospital bed.
He perked up to make sure that it was me talking, and then he gave me an angry look.
"I should be asking the same out of you. How irresonsible can you get! first, you leave the block without my permission. Secound, you lie to me about it over the phone. Third, you lie again by not staying in the bathroom. Lastly, you almost get yourself and Kade killed! I can't believe I even trusted you, Edward Mustang!" Roy snapped, going right to me and shaking me a little as he said it.
I turned my eyes away from him, not wanting a lecture whrn I just woke up. But he grabbed my chin and turned me to face him, and he looked like his personal bubble had just burst.
"Don't look away from me, Ed. I mean it when I said I can't trust you anymore. And so, while you were still out cold, I decided to admit you to the only public school that would accept you. 'Mairian City Academy Of Instructional Learning.' You'll start when you get out."
"But-" I gasped, but Roy put my lips back together, leaving me mumbling.
"No buts. You be glad I'm letting you even go to a public school."
I slumped back into the plain, plain white cushioning of the cot as I began to cry, ears flattend against my hair, and tail lashing under the blankets.
(2 Days Later)
"I'm glad you're going to my school! You'll make tons of friends, becuase I'm one of the most popular guys at school!" Kade's voice rang through the reciever of Edward's telephone.
"But what about the whole chimera thing? How are you gonna cover that?" I asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about it! You might actually get the most popular guy at school's attention, and I warn you beforehand, he's gay."
"Uh...What's his name?"
"Roy Hughes."
"That last name sounds familer."
"Yeah...He's the grandson of some famous guy in the military named Maes Hughes."
I heard Roy yell for me, and I ended the conversation quickly, and ran down the hall to see what he needed.
And I saw Nine sitting on my couch.
"What the hell! NINE!" I yowled, beginning to feel that rush again, that rush for battle.
"Don't get mad! He's living with us, and his name is Maes." Roy said, pushing me over near him.
"How'd you find that out?"
"Turns out he is the chimera of my old friend who died years back. They robbed his body from his grave, and brought him back to Central labs to make him the ninth cat-chimera to make it through the process alive."
Maes Hughes...
And I fainted.
(To be continued...)
What do you think's gonna happen next? Will they get along? Or will tensions rise withen the Mustang household?
Guess right and you just might get a two-shot from me if you guess by next Tuesday!
