Does anyone mind me changing points of view? I find it better to just convey how the person is thinking rather than just their reactions. Things are going to change. And everything, everything is about to change...
Well enough foreshadowing, onto the chapter!
Two weeks after, entering clan dojo.
I am worried now...not only for myself and others. These...these dame visions and nightmares! I almost lost it when I was on the last mission on that corpus ship. Alone. The lights flickered for a moment and I ran. Something is following me...something wants me dead for a sin I did not commit. The St...
"Welcome back." A Tenno in the dojo greeted us at the main corridor, breaking my thought processes.
"Good to be back." I responded with a gentle smile, trying to convey how terrified I have been, thank god Kit doesn't know about it...
"Same." Kitalla said in similar manner, as she inched closer to me as we walked.
What is she doing? I thought to myself. I don't mind this, it is comforting especially with her being by my side. Maybe I should do something nice for her?
"So Kit," I start with a nervous smile
"Yes?" She looked up at me
"I was wondering..."
"Yes?" She said smiling.
"There is a match between Blades of Shadow and Crucible of Thorns in Conclave in a few days..."
"Yes?" She seemed to be brightening up.
"And I was wondering"
"Yes?" Internally she was screaming like a teenage girl.
"Would you like to go with me?" I was blushing deep crimson by now...
'Crap, I don't know what to say,' she thought', 'I still know for certain how I feel, just don't want to be too obvious and scare Hirashi off, of course I want to go but...feelings are so damn confusing'
"You don't have too if you don't want to..."
"Of co..."
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME KANO!
I couldn't hear the rest of what Kitalla was saying as that dreadful voice fills my mind. I collapse as I see shadows of that agent of death. He is smiling at me. His blank mask is staring at me into my soul. I feel...cold. I can Kitalla saying something, but nothing processes. I try to tell her to run from some being that isn't even here, but no words are let loose. I can't move. Fear is too much... I feel Kitalla's hands hold mine as I start to slip away into unconsciousness.
Later
I think to myself as I run through the corridors of the Grineer ship. I can't control my movements. It feels like a waking dream...The world flickers...the words I can hear...a blade comes towards me...I block...I parry...the blades lock as the shadow tells me...
"Wake up, Tenno."
My eyes open slowly. I am in the Dojo's infirmary. That much I am certain. The steady beeping noise is like a metronome to my ears.
"I knew that was a dream." I whisper to my self. I look over to my left to see a small monitor playing the start of the live Conclave match that I was...
Wait...
"That was supposed to be in 3 days." I said aloud
"Huh?" I heard a sleepy voice respond to my statement.
"Who is there?" I ask as I look over to my left to see Kitalla resting on a few chairs arranged like a crude bed. "Oh sorry."
"Don't be sorry." She stretched and yawned. "I needed to get up anyways." She smiled to me and walked over and sat on my levitating hospital bed and scooted closer to me.
"Why would you be getting up at," I gazed over to the clock, "at 3 in the morning?"
"To check on you of course."
I blinked still trying to process what she said.
"Why?" I asked simply.
"Why?"
"Yeah."
Kitalla just stood there, seemingly dumb founded.
"Because it is you." She responded in all seriousness.
"Because it is me? Wait, why am I here?"
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
Kitalla was looking at me in puzzlement. "You were asking me something and then you collapsed, saying something about 'Him'..." Kitalla went on explaining what had happened and that I need to rest as my mind underwent a traumatic experience.
I remembered Him standing infront of me, "What was I asking?
"Hmm?"
"What did I ask you back there?"
She sighed and responded, "Just something stupid..."
"It doesn't seem like it was something stupid. Did I say something wrong?"
Kit took a deep breath, "You were going to ask m..."
"Hey! Look who is finally awake!" My friend interrupted her as he walked into the room, the temperature dropping a few degrees as the Frost-user entered.
"Hey Frosty." I smiled and waved.
"Hey Excalibro." Tanner jokingly used my stupid ass nickname he gave me due to my warframe of choice.
"Tanner, remember what I said..."
"I know I know," he laughed, "you said 'If you call me that again, I will stab you in the head with a javelin'. But considering miss Kitalla here is so close to you, you might as well be stabbing her with your javelin." He said with a wink.
Needless to say, that statement got both me and Kitalla both embarrassed and infuriated. And so I said something to get him out of the room.
"Well you did say it." My eyes started to glow golden blue, a trait all Tenno share when activating abilities, "So I may have to act on that threat..."
"You wouldn't do it."
"Try me." I smiled devilishly and stood up.
"Pshh, I know you won't even thi..." He turned and saw a blue eternal Javelin shimmering golden energy trails. "Ok fine, I'll leave." He laughed as he left the room.
"So you were sa..." I was cut off by Tanner.
"Don't bang too much while I am go...WILL YOU STOP WITH THE DAMN JAVELINS! I'LL GO!" He yelled as he ran down the hall way laughing.
"Ahem, You were saying?" I turned back to Kitalla, who was still blushing as much as I was.
"You were going to ask me to watch the match with you." She turned away, her face as red as her hair.
"You mean the one going on right now?"
"Yes..." She responded sheepishly
"Well then...Would you like to watch the game with me?" I smiled and held out my hand to her.
"Of course." She held my hand and sat down next to me, smiling.
I must have been grinning like an idiot because she looked back at me as she laughed and laid her head on my chest and watched the match.
Needless to say I was blushing, but just sat there enjoying the...
"Is this a date?" I asked Kitalla, who just looked up at me and said,
"It is if you want it to be."
"Yeah, lets just call this a date."
-Kitalla POV-
She was squealing in delight inside her mind. She was like a giddy schoolgirl inside, but outside she simply smiled...
Ok guys I lied, this chapter is going to be the last one for a while, I have more finals still and I don't know how to write chapter 8, I want to make 8 action packed and such and the fluff stuff will be at a minimum right now. There is going to be more written on Hirashi's visions and nightmares, actual battle descriptions, and a nice bit of lore and such that will (hopefully) keep people reading. Welp, that's all for now.
