Chapter 4:Black Feather
Wiolett woke up.
She looked around to find herself tied to a strange, metal-cold table.
"What is this?! Let me go?", she screamed.
"Don't worry little girl.. It is finally time, you are here for too long.", one of man dressed in black said.
"T-t-time? For what?!", she cried struggling.
"You know, whe are turning human into warriors, and it is time for you, to become a we would use a youma, but since you are special case, we decided to try
something new.", he smiled and came closer to her, holding something similar to a knife.
The girl started to shiver, as she felt the metal at the skin of her throat.
"Now, then.", the man didn't want to lose any time, so he just her body almost in half.
Wiolett started to scream insanly and cough blood.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time.", the man held something red that was slowly turning purple.
It was throbbing and looked like it was living.
She could feel, that it was put inside of her wound and that somebody
was tryinf to fix it already.
"How ugly..", the man stated.
"I ahve done better cuts than this. That will be a really ugly body this time. Bring the other one", he mubmled "And bring that trash out of here"
Somebody grabbed the body of the almost dead girl and threw it into a cold, wet cell.
Wiolett could feel losing losing blood but she felt that this something placed inside was healing her weak body already.
"Hah, haaaa, haaaa", she sighed. The pain was slowly dissapearing and she was gaining back her normal conciousnedd again.
"Whuuu, that healed pretty well.", Wiolett suddenly heard a voice.
"Normallythere is a pretty big scar left, ya' know?"
A boy was sitting infront of her and he was smiling.
He had shoulder-long, blonde hair and was smiling with his eyes closed.
However the moment he opened them, she could see that they were silver.
Wiolett desperatley tried to move away from him and pressed her tiny body against the wall.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I am not going to hurt you", he slowly stood up and walked towards her.
He kneed down inches away from the shivering girl, who was crying out of fear.
"See?", he softly patted her head and pulled her in an embrace.
"My name is Gallatin. And yours little Miss?", he asked and looked at her.
"I-I-I don't really know. I think it is Wiolett...", she sobbed.
"I see. Memory loss.", he stood up.
"Well, this is for you. But don't tell. Those idiots says, it is childish, but I like giving them to others, they calm down then. Since I am here for a longer time... You
know, I am your senpai, so you will have to listen to what I say.", he turned around and forced a little teddybear into her arms.
"Don't cry. They told me, that there is another one. Do you know something?", he added.
Wiolett shook her head.
Suddenly the opened and somebody was violently pushed into the cell.
"This is it. Take them to the training grond.", a black dressed man said.
"Already? Normally, they need more time to recover.", Gallatin protested.
"Those two do not. They are special.", the doore closed.
"Pweeeh, this time, he is really angry.", Gallatin wanted to sit down, when he felt a tiny hand pulling his clothes.
"What is it, little one?", he asked.
"Big guy, something is wrong with her.", Wiolett pointed the other girl, who was lying at the ground and coughing.
Gallatin kneed down beside her.
"Hmm, this is strange... She should already start healing.", he gently lifted her up.
The girl started to puke blood, and her wounds were bleeding intensively.
She wanted to say something, but only more red blood was flowing out her mouth, and she started coughing again, painting her chest and Gallatin's arms in a
deep red.
The boy stood up.
"Let's get going, or they will get mad.", he said and pulled her after him.
While walking towards the training ground, none of them said a word.
"We are here.", Gallatin said to another man, dressed in black.
"And? I was waiting here for hours.", he had a staff in his hands and slapped the boy in his face, so that he falled on the ground.
Wiolett supressed her need to cry and looked at the man with a face full of fear.
"Something... went wrong with her.", Gallatin said, as if nothing happened and placed the other girl at the ground.
"Arnielle?", the man stepped on the girl's tiny body with his feet.
"When she isn't strong enough to withstand the operation, than she will fail as a Youma hunter, too. We have no need for that.",
He was screaming some vulgar words, while violating the girl's body.
"Do something... She.. she will die, if you won't-", Wiolett's voice shivered.
"I.. can't...", he replied.
Wiolett wanted to protest, but as she noticed the giant wound dealt by the staff in Gallatin's face, she started staring at the ground again.
"I am sorry... Don't look... You shouldn't see this.", he embraced her and turned away from the man and girl.
Wiolett started to cry, but she swore that day, that she was never going to cry again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*A FEW MONTHS LATER*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The swords were clashing in the dark, as their owners were moving them faster than the wind.
"You are quiet good. Or at least, you got good.", Gallatin said, blocking his partners attack.
"No need to tell me that!",Wiolett replied without stopping her attack.
"If this continues, you going through the final exams rather soon.", the boy said the moments his sword flew out of his hand.
"That is exactly what I am hoping for. The sooner I get out of here, the better.", the girl put her sword down.
"Why?", Gallatin flapped his hair back.
"Because...Well, I still don't remember who I were, but something inside of me is telling me that I have to meet a certain person.", Wiolett replied.
"Hmmm, a warrior?", was the answer.
"I... think so.", Wiolett looked down.
"Whatever, with 'that' special ability of yours it should be piece of cake. I mean, they even gave you a black uniform.", he chuckled a little bit.
"Yeah, I am the bringer of death to my clothes.", the girl smiled.
Gallatin wanted to reply something, but suddenly an expression of pain appeared in his face.
He turned around an started coughing blood.
Wiolett could hear him making strange sounds.
Sounds, that resembled the growl of Youma.
" You ok?...", she asked carefully.
"I am... fine", he turned around.
"No, you are not! That blood is yours. And you didn't sound, like you are healthy!", Wiolett was upset, but before she could add anything
two of the blacks appeared.
"Gallatin, move your ass here. We need you for something.", one of them shouted and pulled him along.
"Gallatin...", Wiolett whispered.
"See you then.", Gallatin answered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*A WEEK LATER*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wiolett was sitting on a rock, head resting on her knees.
"Something wrong with you?", a little girl asked.
"No, nothing... Just thinking. Did you see Gallatin the past days?", Wiolett asked.
"That big guy? No, I didn't since the blacks took him away.", the girl replied.
"Ah, I see...", Wiolett sighed.
"By the way, today is the day of the final exams. Maybe we have to fight each other, some warriors say, that we have to fight each other. Others say, we have
to slay Youma. And finally there are some who say that we have to fight some scary, big monsters. But before that, I would like to know your name.", she
smiled.
"Wiolett, my name is Wiolett.", was the simple answer.
"Well, nice to meet you Wiolett. I am Riful, by the way.", Riful said.
But before Wiolett could reply, the heavy door opened and a man entered.
"All of you, go to the other gate. Except for you, Wiolett. We prepared something special for you.", the man smirked.
Wiolett certainly wasn't amused, but she took her Claymore and walked towards the man.
She didn't know where he was leading her, she just followed.
Finally they arrived at a lake.
"This is your fight.", said the man before he left.
Wiolett looked around, but couldn't find anything.
However, due her extraordinary Youki and Youki sensing skills, she knew that something powerfull was hiding around here.
Suddenly she heard a shrill scream.
It sounded like a bird.
She turned around and saw a big, black creature infront of her.
It had six, jet-black feather wings, there nine feather like tails attached to its lowerback, and his whole was covered with black feathers.
His head seemed to be shaped similar to a brids, but it still had human contures, and horns attached to his back.
"So, you are my date for today.", Wiolett whispered.
"I am sorry, I have no grudge against you, but I have to defeat you.", she prepared her sword.
However the monster was also fast.
She barely was able to dodge the feather bullets.
But this allowed her to jump behind the monster and cut of his tails and half of wings.
The bird had no choice but to stand down at the ground.
Although the wonds were deep, it already started regenrating it.
"Sorry, I have no time to play around, I have to check if my friend is allright.", she shouted and sliced the body int two halves.
She looked at the dead body with golden eyes.
"Your... friend", she shivered as she heard the monster speaking.
Suddenly she saw a hand between the corpse and streams of purple blood.
Without hesitating she ran towrds the human shaped body, pulling it out of the purple flesh, holding it in her arms.
The being was obviously male, it looked like Gallatin, but had hazelnut brown hair.
"Gallatin...?", the girl felt tears running downher cheeks as she looked at him.
The boy opened his eyes.
They were deep blue.
Suddenly she remembered what Gallatin once told her:
"Before I was turned into a warrior,I had brown hair and blue eyes.
Everyone was telling me that they are jealous..."
The moment Gallatin heard her voice, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Wiolett, is that you?", he whispered and touched her cheek.
"Gallatin... no... That is impossible! Why you! Don't die please!", she screamed as she realised that he was dying.
"Hey, don't cry... It makes you weak... And weak people do not surive, they die quick... And I don't want you to die... I want to live and to see that you are able
to smile in this cruel world...", the voice was getting more quiet with every word spoken.
"No don't die... I didn't want to kill you, forgive me...",she pressed her hand against his.
Gallatin softly pulled her head down and gently pressed a kiss on her lips.
"I am sorry... I didn't want to trick you...I just wanted to protect you.. I was really happy when you said about your friend... I love you.", he said and fell into her
arms, dead.
Wiolett was screaming, crying, fighting, raging.
The only things she was feeling right now, were rage, anger, pain, sorrow and masses of Youki filling her body.
