A/N: Yes, yes, I know I didn't put a quote last chapter, and that this took too long. I'm working a lot of stuff lately. Being a multitasker can be hard sometimes, y'know. Real quick, quote from... Let's see... "This used to be Oakvale, although it has changed much since I saw it last, and that was a long time ago." -Special! Comment and guess who said this, which Fable, and when/where. Hint: It has some connection to Reaver, but he didn't say it. Onward to Ben's POV on what happened after he "took off"! Comments!
Alice: I find that thousands of songs seem to describe Mira. She can be described so easily with music that didn't exist then. Weird. But, I felt like leaving cliffhangers that day. I hate 'em too, but my mom had pissed me off that morning, so I had a sour mood all day.
MsDarcy14: Uhh, what? Did you just bang your head into the keyboard or what? I know cliffies suck, but is that a normal way to react in your home? Now, I shall add to my reply to you with my signature. -Sam Belk ;)
I say we tie Reaver to the tip of a flagpole upside down by his ankles and leave him there to panic and struggle until the rush of blood to his head kills him. Who's with me?
"You've got to be kidding me..." I ran around another corner to find yet another unconscious guard. Reaver definitely knew how to clean up after himself. If knocking out every single one of the castle staff was "cleaning up". I considered just smashing down Mira's door, but she'd probably make me pay for a new one, and I wasn't exactly made of money. In fact, I was broke.
I finally gave up and headed back. I tried to open her door. Still deadbolted. I backed up a bit, and slammed into the door. Nothing. I backed twice as far, and slammed into it as hard as I could.
"Ah, there's the little adventurer. Or should I say abandoner?"
"Go to Hell, Reaver." I wasn't really listening, just focusing on why Mira was screaming at Reaver. She kept repeating it, "Shut up, get away from me," lying curled up on the ground, crying. It made me feel bad for her. I knew well enough she hated sympathy, but I felt horrible for leaving her by herself with Reaver.
I made my way across the room to Mira, and crouched down beside her. She looked up at me, but said nothing. Just looking into her eyes, I could tell how she felt. All the fright, confusion, fear, and anything else he could possibly do to her. Knowing this infuriated me. I would kill Reaver later. For now, I just wanted to calm Mira down.
"Get out." I snarled.
"But we were just having a civilised conversation." Reaver retorted.
"Get. Out." I repeated, pulling Mira close.
He sighed. "Ah, well, tatty bye then." Reaver had no idea how lucky he was I couldn't kill him right then and there.
But right then, Mira would need my full attention.
A/N: Ha! I finally dished out my 10th chapter. Now, I will admit, I didn't expect to keep devout to writing fanfiction. I surprised myself. Now, dear readers (of whom I do not have a whole lot of), who here also thinks I should kill Reaver off? Oh, what kind of stupid question is that? Who wouldn't want to kill Reaver off? Fallon's already done it. When I read about murdering Reaver and setting his house on fire, I ran out into the streets with my friend (who had been reading over my shoulder) and danced around screaming "Reaver's dead! Reaver's dead!" We then attracted a few other Fable lovers, and sang through the streets as we ran up to the gas station to buy everyone a soda to celebrate. No joke. ILY, Fallon! -Sam Belk ;)
