The cell was icy cold, almost like frozen wasteland. His wrists stung from the cuffs clasp on his wrists, tainted with blood. His sun-kissed skin covered in scars and numerous bite marks on his neckline. His russet hair mangled and matted; his once cheery olive eyes now dull, his attire torn and soiled.
It hurt to breathe. It hurt to move. It hurt to do anything for him. He found himself lying helplessly on the concrete ground, behind the steel bars that were now his 'home'. He longed for his original home, back where his loving pack was. He did not want to be here, the place where he hated the most.
His auburn ears twitched at the sound of footsteps. They became louder by the second soon coming to a full stop. He raised his head slightly to get a full look at the man before him. Sure enough, it was the one man he loathed the most. His bright emerald eyes filled with satisfaction at the sight of the man in agony.
"Y-You like seeing me in pain don't you?" He managed to say, only to sound raspy. The green-eyed man swiped his blonde fringe away from his face, getting an enhanced glimpse at the tortured werewolf.
"It's what you deserve, being looked at must be a bother to you, Antonio."
"Especially when it's you, Arthur, what are you even planning?" Antonio questioned, almost sounding strangled. Arthur raised one of his bushy eyebrows.
"It's best if I didn't tell you my plans. It only gets foiled." Arthur reminded him, now crouching down to the Spaniard's level. The Spaniard felt exhausted at this point, the pain couldn't let him rest, and it was unbearable each day. Antonio then fainted, his head smacking onto the hard ground. Arthur took one last glance at him before walking away, and working on his plan-in-progress.
oOo
What will you do?
[Go to Faierie] [Skip it, we're going to Lamia!]
oOo
After discussing with the two about your choice, you were clinging onto dear life on the large avian. Kiku explained his powers, he could not turn into any marine animal, only land and avian. Lovino did the same as you did, clasping his hands on the charcoal colored feathers. The morpher said that Faierie was only a few hours away. At this point, you didn't know if you could even last being like this for a few more hours. Kiku was flying so fast, and under you was the bright blue ocean. After experiencing the monsters here, you certainly did not want to know what would happen to you if you fell.
Yet, you did this mission just so you could escape from the pack, and hopefully if you save Antonio then you could be free. Then, you had to find a way back home. Speaking of home, what was happening there? There was a thunder storm, the electricity went out and you were suddenly transported here. It confused you; you just hope you weren't dead.
'Well if I have arms that are still hurting then I'm certainly not dead.' You thought, your (h/c) hair blocking your eyes. You did not dare to try to move your hair away from your features; you were terrified that you might fall off.
Time seemed to move fast because when you saw a speck of land, you wanted to dance for joy at this moment. "Is that Faierie?" You asked a bit loud so Kiku could hear you through the gushing wind.
"Yes, we're almost there." He said, calmly. You can hear Lovino quietly curse in Italian behind you, trying his best not to let go. You felt a little bad for the werewolf, not used to be flying like this. You soon felt a weird feeling in your stomach, Kiku was flying down, about to land.* The feeling overtook you, all the air escaped from your lungs as you were getting close to Faierie's soil.
Kiku gently landed, signaling for the two of you to jump off him. You did as you were told, along with Lovino, and Kiku transformed back into his original form. The sun was now rising leisurely. The three of you traveled down the path that would lead you to the main town, Kiku leading as usual. You yawned, covering your mouth with your hand.
"We need to do something about your arms, _ -san. Maybe the fairies or witches will help." Kiku mentioned, taking a glance at your arms. You blinked at first and took a look at your arms for yourself; you were worried that they might be infected due to being exposed this whole time. Your clothes were tattered and had some blood as well; your shoes were worn out. You didn't notice this, hopefully you would benefit here.
You followed the morpher and the werewolf, traveling past unrecognizable trees and flowers. Many tropical like scents wafted through your nose, you easily felt relaxed here. If only you could spend more time here, but you were doing as you were told, save Antonio. You just needed to prepare.
After several minutes of walking you came to a breathtaking meadow with all kinds of flower surrounding you. The tips of the flowers opened at a snail like pace as the sun rose to the blue sky, revealing small human like creatures sleeping inside them. Your (e/c) widened at such a marvelous sight. If only you had a camera, then you would have proved that fairies were real.
One fairy opened here tiny russet eyes tiredly and got up from the pink petunia she was on, her bright fuchsia wings fluttering about, flying closer to the three of you.
"Kiku! You're back!" She squealed, circling around the morpher ecstatically. He smiled at the small fairy, holding up the palm of his hand for her to stand on, she graciously accepted.
"It's nice to see you, Mei-chan." Kiku gave a warm smile and turned to the two of you. "This is Mei-chan, one of the fairies here." the girl waved and shifted her russet eyes until she saw your injured arms.
"Oh dear," she murmured, flying closer to your arms, examining them. "What happened?"
You stole a glance from Lovino; of course you didn't want to blame him for starting it then Ludwig piercing your skin. "Uh…I was attacked…that's all." You explained, biting the insides of your cheeks.
Mei nodded and took a closer look. "Oh my, this needs to be taken care of. Follow me you three, I want to see if I can find Lilli or someone to help." The fairy explained, already flying ahead of you. The three of you followed the fairy down the path, you still mesmerized by such a beautiful meadow. You saw some fairies stare at you, while others followed to see what was going on. Mei led you to a small cabin; she light tapped on the window.
A door swung open to reveal a man with chin length brunette hair and worried blue eyes. "Toris! We have a human to take care of!" she exclaimed grabbing the sleeve of your shirt, trying to pull you closer, only failing in the end. You giggled and walked closer to the man.
"A h-human?" he was shocked, Mei nodded, impatiently waiting for you to get taken care of. "Ah, r-right, please come in." He said, after recovering from his state of shock. You gave a silent thank you and walked in. Inside was messy, papers and books everywhere, and a big cauldron in the back of the room giving a bright lime green hue to the room. Also shelves disorganized and carpets were torn at the edges. The floorboard made a soft creaking noise as you walked.
"Tori*~ Like, who's our guest?" you heard a voice from the other end of the room. When you saw the person owning the voice, you could have sworn it was a woman, due to his features and clothing style, but it was indeed a man. You heard Kiku and Lovino come in behind you, examining the room. Before you could introduce yourself the man immediately glanced at your arms. Toris told the man that you were attacked and needed some medical attention.
"Well not to worry! I, like, totally have the greatest things to heal you!" You guessed that his accent was 'polish'. You found yourself giggling at his way of talking. Toris led you to a soft, velvet armchair to sit and you let you arms rest on the arms on the chair. Kiku told all of you he was leaving with Lovino to find items, such as herbs and food, to pack and will be back soon. You nodded and waited patiently for your arms to be tended.
Toris took care of the tending of your arms, letting the polish man, whose name was Feliks; take a seat next to you. "So you're a human? You're like living bait here!"
"Trust me, I know that I am. One minute I'm in my own house, the next minute I'm here. It's very confusing." You explained, wincing from the stinging of ointments Toris was using. The shortened story you gave seem unbelievable but you did not want to explain your adventure here so far.
"Sorry if it hurts. You're just lucky that it didn't get infected." Toris said, you felt a wave of relief hit you. You were going to be okay, and to you right now that's all that mattered. After awhile, bandages were perfectly wrapped on both of your arms. Not too tight but not too lose, perfect.
"Thank you." You said, smiling thankfully. Feliks and Toris, proud of their work, told you to rest and went back to their work. You followed their instructions and made yourself comfortable on the armchair. You let your eyes shut for a few seconds until the door swung open. You almost jumped out of your seat from the initial shock and flipped your head to the doorway, revealing two fairies and what seemed like another witch.
"_~ I found some new clothes!" Mei chirped holding one end of the basket while the other fairy on the opposite side. The other fairy was a bright golden hue, her wings the color of slick honey and her eyes a bright olive green. The two fairies dropped the basket to the hardwood floor and flew to the witch's shoulders. The witch was holding a gun on his belt, making you a bit nervous around him already, and serious looking sea green eyes.
"Thank you Mei and…"
"Lilli, it's nice to meet you, _" the golden fairy said, giving you a warm welcoming smile. You smiled back at the fairy and took a glimpse at the clothes they had given you.
"Oh Vash, what is it?" Toris asked, helping Feliks stir something in the cauldron.
"There are two trespassers here." he said, words escaping his mouth like on auto-pilot
"Oh goodness! You didn't shoot them did you?" Toris exclaimed dropping his stirring tool on the ground, running over to the Swiss man. Mei's mouth dropped while Lilli sighed heavily, shaking her head in disappointment. You, on the other hand, were about to stand up and protest.
"I tried, but I ran out of ammo."
"Did they get hurt?"
"No." All of you besides, Vash, sighed of relief. The door slammed open once again, revealing a very angry Italian and a slightly calm Japanese man.
"What the fuck! You can't just go shooting people everywhere!" Lovino snapped, pointing at the Swiss man.
"You were trespassing our territory!"
"I refrain from speaking…"
"At least we weren't fucking shooting everybody!" The two went into a full blown argument, both speaking in their native languages which led to none of them knowing what they were talking about. Lilli and Mei tried their best to calm them down or pull them away. Kiku remained silent and had a big worry for the two of them. You were annoyed by this, rubbing the sides of your heads. You just wanted peace and quiet for once. Did it kill to get silence here? Yes it did kill.
"GUYS!" You shouted, standing up from your chair. Just what you wanted, silence. All heads were turned to you. Lovino was in a position that looked like he was about to strangle the Swiss man, while Vash had one hand on his gun.
"Can we all just calm down? We just needed some help that is all." You explained, obviously annoyed. Vash removed his hand off his gun, Lovino dropped his hands to his waist, and Kiku sighed of relief.
oOo
Meeting a lot of the fairies was nice, all varying different colors and personalities. Even more witches and wizards appeared and greeted the three of you, graciously welcoming you to their land.
Before dinner, Lovino and Kiku the items they had found such as more berries and herbs. Earlier you explained the predicament you were in to Toris and Feliks; they gave you a choice of weapons to choose from, although you were only allowed to take one. You let Kiku choose, not having a lot of experience from actual weapons. He had chosen a sword that was screaming 'power'. Outside he had taken practice swings, fairies and witches/wizards alike watching in amusement.
The clothes you have gotten fit you well, but something you might see yourself wearing. A white blouse along with a black vest connected, a black skirt reaching down just above your knees and some black and white striped stockings. They also gave you black shoes that looked suitable enough for running. You thanked Mei and Lilli for the choice of clothing and skipped over to the morpher and werewolf.
You felt new and refined, all you needed was dinner and you were ready to go. For dinner, you received a great serving size that filled the plate. A majority of the food on your plate was unrecognizable but whatever was edible did look good to you. You nearly stuffed your face that night, enjoying the satisfaction of a filled stomach. Some of the fairies giggled along with the wizards and witches, Lovino muttered something in Italian and Kiku watched you in amusement, wondering how you can eat that much without upchucking. Lovino and Vash had a stare down during the feast, seeing who can blink first. You didn't see the end result but Lovino looked displeased before bed.
Toris and Feliks made some room in their cabin for you three to rest in, fixing the couches and chairs into beds. You felt just like yourself again, you wish you could stay here forever, but tomorrow you only had eleven and a half days left. You got a new weapon and more food along the way. You had the dagger, Kiku said that could be your weapon, Lovino was more of a physical fighter, and Kiku with the new sword.
You could see fairies flying into their flower homes, the petal closing up after them, and hearing Toris and Feliks breathe softly through the night; Lovino was muttering things in Italian in his sleep, and Kiku sleeping soundlessly. You let sleep overcome you.
oOo
"….Kiku? Lovino?... where are you?" you ran through the foggy woods, trying not to run into any trees. You were alone, and you just lost two of your partners.
"Kiku! Lovino!" You shouted this time, heart beating faster from fear. Over from a distance you could hear a scream, piercing the air. You followed the sound, running fast as possible, only to find nothing.
You breathed heavily, turning your head left to right. No one. You backed away bumping into what you were hoping was a tree. The monster turned you around to face him. You saw his blood tainted teeth, leaning closer to your neckline. You eyes were blurry from tears threatening to come out. His grip around you was tight, impossible to escape.
After seconds you let out a shrill of a scream, breaking the air in two.
oOo
"No! Please! Let me go!"
"_! Calm down!"
"It's just a fucking dream!" You immediately woke up, shooting up from your bed, breathing heavily and forehead drenched in sweat. You placed your hand over your chest, feeling your heart beating tremendously fast.
"Oh my god…" You whispered loudly, looking at the hardwood ground. The four, not including you, woke up from your scream and shook you to wake you up.
"Must have been, like, a nightmare."
"Demons must be at it again…" Toris muttered, getting up from his bed, heading to the cauldron. The word 'demons' caught your mind.
"Wait, demons?" You asked, still recovering from the nightmare you just had.
"All they fucking do is create nightmares, especially for humans like you. Since the race died years ago and you recently came here for god knows what reason, you're a target now." Lovino explained, displaying a bitter look on his face. You wanted to face palm on how much attention you were getting here, first your everyones' prey and now you're probably going to have nightmares everyday. You grumbled, you wanted to see these demons for yourself.
"They don't always appear just for fun. Two of them visit here often while one keeps his peace. So it's mainly the two that are creating this nightmare…what was it about anyway?" Toris explained, stirring an unknown lime green substance in the cauldron. You wondered who the three were, but mainly you wanted to get the two that were doing this. You certainly did not want to have another nightmare.
"I was in this forest and Lovino and Kiku were gone so I looked for them…then I was attacked by a vampire or something, I couldn't tell." You explained, dropping your head so you could look at your bare feet.
"Feliks and I will deal with them later. For now, you should get going for that mission you got." Toris reminded you, grabbing something off the floor and walking towards the three of you. He held a tiny bag tied with a string.
"In here is some dust the fairies created. It could be used for teleporting or invisibility. Although you can only use it once since there's only enough powder for the three of you." Toris explained, handing you the pouch. You gave the pouch to Kiku, who gently placed it in the rucksack.
"Arigato, Toris-san."
"Yeah! Thanks!"
"Yeah, yeah Grazie…"
Toris smiled and waved, along with Feliks, as the three of you left. The fairies waited patiently on their flower homes and waved with their tiny arms goodbye. Mei and Lilli flew to the three of you holding a substance.
"What's this?" You asked, accepting the item the fairies gave you.
"It's garlic~ since you're human and your blood might be delicious to them, you might want to wear this at all times." Mei explained, putting the garlic around your neck, with the help of Lilli. You gave a silent thank you and left with Kiku and Lovino, now on your way to Lamia.
oOo
The fly to Lamia was just like your ride to Faierie, you were afraid to fall into the ocean, again. You clinged onto the charcoal feathers of Kiku's avian form, not wanting to fall. Wind was slapping your facial features and your hair was flying widely as usual.
You were thankful when you saw land again, and it was still daylight. From the many fiction books you read, vampires were awake at night, weren't they? You just had to blend in or they might find the garlic suspicious.
You ended your line of thoughts when Kiku landed on the earthy soil of Lamia. You were here, and you had to save Antonio in eleven and a half days, that seemed like plenty of time for you.
"We do have plenty of time…why don't we train?" Kiku suggested, already in his original form.
"Or we can go to their shitty castle and examine where exactly the fucking dungeon is." Lovino brought up, still having that bitter look plastered on his facial features.
It was still broad daylight so you could examine the castle. The vampires may be strong as well and training will be good as well, since you were human and you may be weak towards them.
What will you do first?
[Train] [Examine]
oOo
Clues:
Train:
The vampires could be strong; it wouldn't hurt to train for a bit wouldn't it?
Examine:
We might have to get used to the layout of the castle, find the dungeon of course. See how many guards are there, etc.

EXPECT BLOOD.
And sorry if I rushed at the end :'D.
*Do you ever get that weird feeling in your stomach whenever you're on the roller coaster's big drop? Like during the big drop you get this AWESOME feeling when going down? That's what I meant when writing this part; I didn't know how to explain it :'D
*Instead of Liet, it's Tori. Your mind was just blown.
So to summarize, Arthur and Antonio…what's going on? Antonio is locked up and in pain while Arthur…I wonder what he's planning? –Evil smirk-
