Chapter 10: Betrayal

Chapter 10 betrayal.

Fox looks around as she moves swiftly through the battle field. Mystique and Temptation both have trouble. While Nightshade has been knocked out already. Fox knows Cheria had planned to get Miko in their team it won't be long now. She sees the group taking down both Mystique and Temptation. She has to do everything around here. Fox sights before she enrages and storms towards the group. "We take Cheria." says Alice as she, Runo and Aura take of to the roof. The others don't answer a protest as they are to busy with taking down Fox.

"Look at who came out to play." Says Cheria smiling. "We were to busy with your dogs to play with you." says Alice sarcastic.

Cheria sniffs and then laughs. "My dogs are well trained." Out of her sleeve she pulls a wip. "It seems that you, pups need some training."

"Alice did you have to make that comment." Says Aura.

Alice looks at the whip coming down on the ground.

"I am a little bit regretting it now."

"A little bit huh."

"Aura, Alice please just let concentrate on her." says Runo to make them focus again. Cheria sends down her whip on Aura who summons her keyblade in an reflex . The whip is bounced off by the materializing keyblade. But as soon as the whip hits the pieces of the keyblade shatter across the floor. "Your keyblade, it's broken." says Cheria looking at the pieces. "That's why you didn't use your keyblade." say both Alice and Runo at the same time. Cheria laughs as she lets her whip falling continuously at them. Alice gets a few hit falling onto her what makes her fall unconscious. "Alice." Aura rushes towards her and looks at her friend. "Aura I give you one last chance to Surrender." " You already know our answer." Answers Aura looking up. Cheria sights "You and your friends would have made it far in our ranks." Cheria turns to Runo. "It is time, Miko." Aura looks up at Runo. Runo turns towards her. The two of them stare into each other's eyes.

The once bright green irises of her eyes are now purple to almost red. Her blue hair is darker. You could have noticed it days ago but everyone didn't pay attention. Runo is one of them. A dark orb hits Aura that makes her fall back. It wasn't deadly. It was an warning. "Miko we go." Cheria opens a corridor of darkness Runo steps in followed by Cheria. Aura stares at where the corridor was. Every princess of hearts has a maiden of darkness as opposite. Both she and Mystique have the same unique ability. That makes her the maiden of…. Aura lets herself fall on the ground.

"Fox. We're going." Hears Fox the command echoing from the darkness. Fox dodges the attacks and jumps towards Temptation. She grabs Temptation and makes a swift move towards Mystique. Nightshade has freed himself of his bindings and runs towards Fox who has opened the corridor. Nightshade takes over Temptation and the four of them leave. "They left we won." says Dan as he jumps in the air. "It was to easy." Says Mira. "Remembering what Cheria said it was way too easy." says Marucho. "Where are Alice, Runo and Aura." says Shun looking around.

"They went after Cheria." Says Cathy pointing towards the direction they did go. Shun nods and rushes in the direction. He follows the ravage. Till he finds Alice. "Alice!" he kneels down beside her. "Shun I am fine look at Aura." Says Alice nodding towards his back. Shun turns around and sees something moving. He stands up and walks towards the person lying on the ground. He kneels down to see Aura her face to be in pain. The remains of a dark attack are over her body. Alice had been able to stand up and looks shocked at Aura. The dark remains hurt his as he strokes one of the spots. "Who did this?" asks Shun Alice. "I was knocked out I just awakened." answers Alice. Shun looks up into her face. Alice is lying but why would she?

"They took Runo." Alice looks now straight in his eyes. She speaks the truth. But then again why did she lie?

"Let's go to the others." Says Alice breaking his rain of scenarios why she did lie. "She needs help." she says nodding towards Aura.

Shun picks up the girl who's in pain. He feels the dark spots burn his skin. On the parts touching his body. Imagine what she must feel. Her left arm, her whole torso and half of her face are covered in these dark remains of the attack that took her down.

Three days later.

From the roof Dan stares towards the ocean. A part of him does wants to get to his sailboat and sail away from everyone and everything. Narisha helped Aura get rid of the dark remains on her body. That same evening Aura was gone, she said she needed space. After that Shun was pushing Alice. The others didn't notice it but he is Shuns best friend and knew when somebody was being pushed to the edge by Shun. Alice broke earlier, and what she said made everyone paranoid of being in the same room. Runo betrayed them. She betrayed him. Once she was his best friend, she was more than that and that is why she still has a special place in his heart. And that is the reason he wants to go away now. Away from everything that he can associate to her. Dan looks down, the garden is whay below him but he can make up the figure of Shun. Even from here he can see the stress in the young man's veins. He hears the door behind him openen and closing. A few footsteps come his whay. "I thought you would be here." the only person he wants to be with right now. He turns around to hug Narisha. "Aura has returned for now." "What do you mean for now?" "She will leave for Aurelissia, she wants to get those who wants to go with her." "I'll go."
