Part four
--Carrot's POV--
A few days later after the events with the cabin, Big Mama called us to the church. It seem so weird that she didn't just blink us there, and the others thought the same, but unlike me refused to say it outloud. Instead, Tira told me to shut up and then simply replied that it's not our place to reason why. I was feeling a little like myself today, so I followed it up by whining about the walk. The rest of the team simply ignored me, and so we left.
Just like a bunch of good little soldiers. .
I suddenly pause at such a thought as Tira and Chocolate passed me with a glance of curiosity and Marron and Gateau stop a few steps behind me.
"What is wrong, Darling," Chocolate asks as she watches me. I of course shrug it off as nothing, and we continue on our way.
Two hours later, we arrive in a strange town where the people were dressed weirdly. Almost as if on cue, Chocolate jumps on me and proclaims her undying love and availability to me. I of course scream like a wimp and shouts that kissing her would be like kissing my sister. This statement and my moving backwards soon allow me to escape her and the others to do some investigating of my own. From the people and a couple of old men, I found out about the rules and the sorcerer behind it all. She was a beautifully young teenager, but for once, I didn't care. I really didn't want to chase her or even make a pass at her, but when my friends arrived with my brother in toll I decide that it would be better if I just keep up the act like I always do.
I did my best to convince them to go after this Magic Margo, but of course they figured out my ploy. So when they refused to follow or help me, I simply stated that I would go alone. That statement didn't tide over well with the others as they followed me into an alley, and then proceed to change my mind. Gateau held me by the collar of my shirt, choking off my air, while my brother Marron and Tira talked to me about things that was common knowledge. Like the fact that Magic Margo was none of my problem, and that Big Mommy was my boss. Things that I was already well aware of, but then Marron hit the one weak point in my armor as Gateau throws me to the ground on my butt. He asked what was wrong, he asked about the bad dreams, and about the mood swings, and for a couples of minutes my mood darken as I remember.
I remembered the pain and anguish I felt in my dreams from being so helpless to stop myself and I allowed a little of the truth to come out as I replied that I was tired of acting. "That maybe I didn't want to be a sorcerer hunter anymore." But as I heard Chocolate reply Darling and Tira asks me about what they might have done, I realized what I was saying and once more fell into the act. I told them that it was a problem with them, and that it was the fact that I could never use my powers, and of course they begin to buy it hook, line, and sinker. As one group they decide to cover for my absence to Big Mommy, and left me to do as I pleased.
As they begin to leave, the spirit of the old me rose once more and I of course giggled with glee at the thought of finally being free to chase Magic Margo. So, I began my operations as I climbed onto the roof of the castle and attached a rope to the pole and then started to run down the roof from there. My plan was to just swing through the open window, and proclaim my undying love to her, but some stupid jerk chose that moment to close the window. I of course was already on my way towards it and simply smashed into it. Glass shattered everywhere as I rolled to the spot in front of her, and she demanded that I be thrown out. Upon hearing this I quickly picked myself up before some of her goons could do it and introduce myself to her. She definitely was not impress by what I had to say and didn't welcome my visit.
Her first goon, Tuxedo, signals to the other goons to beat the crap out of me and tie me up. I knew then that it was only a matter of time, before the others came and rescued me (Marron and me has a sort of magic link, which means that one can feel the other's pain). Which true to my words happen, as Tira and Chocolate stop the beating I was going to received, because Magic Margo couldn't remember how to use her magic. They then used their powers to intimidate the girl, whom soon afterwards made the mistake of remembering and hitting me with the beam, transforming me.
This was the first time that I actually felt fear as the transformation took me. Was I going to go crazy and destroy the others? Would I become the beast of destruction? No, it was as it had always been. I controlled my powers and Tira and Chocolate convinced the girl to change her ways, and also like always, I got whip in the end. Things ended peacefully or almost peacefully as I later on made a move on Margo that got me hit in the face.
Maybe things weren't so bad I thought as Margo went off with her father and me and the others move on. Maybe these dreams were nothing more than just that, Dreams. Maybe they had nothing to do with my destiny, but if not, who was that man that I saw in my dreams and why does he always appear in them.
Marron then broke my chain of thought as he interrupted me to ask what was bothering me. I of course told him nothing, but Marron like the others didn't believe me as we grew closer and closer to the church.
