We Found Love
Chapter ten
Sofia got to the bottom of the stairs of VvXvV's house and she turned looking at the front door. She had plenty of thoughts running through her head. The more thoughts that came to her the angrier she got. Suddenly, the glimpse of feet caught her eye. She turned and saw a male Celan moving quickly around the corner of a tree. She looked as if she was a lost puppy and aimlessly followed him.
The Celan felt she was gonna kill him so he acted fast. He turned and his weapon floated in front of him and he aimed the shots to her. Sofia threw herself onto the ground in front of the Celan and the shots hit the ground at her feet lighting the ground of fire, "Hey I am not trying to hurt you. Please don't hurt me."
The Celan looked at her shoulder blade and saw that there was dried blood on her torn armor surrounding a opened wound, "That wound, you haven't taken care of it," he said putting his weapon away. He held his hand out to her, "Here I will fix that wound for you."
Sofia place her hand in his and pulled herself up with his support, "Oh no it's okay. I can do it."
"I insist," he said pulling her the opposite direction of Dragon Palace. Sofia struggled to keep up with the Celan's pace but maintained. Once they reached Scarlet City he lead her to a door, "You just wait inside. I will return very shortly."
She nodded and opened the door. She walked in and shut the door, "Lixeo?" a familiar voice sounded.
"Uh no, I am LadySofia. Your voice sounds familiar may I ask who you are."
She heard a loud thud and suddenly from the corner of the hallway a head appeared. It was ArchBlitz, "Sofia what are you doing here?"
"Arch, I could ask you the same question. I am here because I guess you said his name was Lixeo saw my wound from KazumiSama and he insisted on treating it," she said looking around the room she was standing in.
ArchBlitz walked down the hall and hugged her tightly, "Did you get my letter?"
"I did. But I don't understand... How do you know they sent those two?"
"LionSlayer and Yukina are the best two Vims they have left besides KidFlash who abandoned the Vim race just before the King of Laws was murdered."
Sofia gasped sharply when she heard KidFlash's name, "Any idea why he left?"
ArchBlitz shook his head, "No, but I've heard that he going against the Vim law."
Sofia lapped a finger on her chin and thought intensely, "Hm, Vim law? There are so many laws with them."
Suddenly the door opened up and Lixeo came in. ArchBlitz smiled, "Lixeo, you picked up the other Jadeon that's behind the death of King of Laws."
"I thought so. Now come here. Let's treat that wound of yours. May I ask where you got that?" he said looking to her.
She walked over to him, "Oh. I received this from an Arden. He shot me two times in the same spot so it's very tender."
"Ah, Arch was telling me about that Arden. You should be more careful with them," he said placing a wet cloth to her wound.
Sofia winced at the touch, "Well I wasn't quite sure what they were capable of doing. But I found out real quick."
He dabbed the wound cleansing the dried blood from her skin. He stuck two of his fingers in this ointment he had and rubbed it on the wound.
Sofia winced again and leaned forward, "Ow! That hurts!"
"Well if you would hold still it wouldn't hurt as much. Now hold still this may sting a little."
Her skin felt as if was burning and she tried to keep still. He then patched the wound and sat her down on the stand in front of him, "Now I am gonna fix your armor," he pulled a needle and thread from the curtain behind him and began fixing the armor. "I thought you were suppose to be at VvXvV's place?"
Sofia sighed hard, "I am staying there but me and my brother are fighting and V said that we should get some space."
"Hm, I see," he said pulling the needle and thread from the armor, "There. Good as new."
Sofia looked over her shoulder as best as she could and saw that he armor was fixed, "Well, thank you. How can I repay you?"
"Don't worry about it. I do this for a bunch of people."
Sofia smiled and stood from where she was sitting and looked to him, "I never introduced myself properly. I am LadySofia but you can call me Sofia."
Lixeo stood up, "And I am Lixeo. I am dearly sorry for attempting to hurt you earlier. I thought you were one of the Vims after Arch."
"Sofia you should return to VvXvV's house. The Vims will be here soon searching for us very soon," ArchBlitz said as he turned and walked back down the hallway and continued with what he was doing.
"Okay I will head out now. Lixeo thanks again for the treatment," she said as she hurried to the door. She opened the door and let the door close behind her has she left.
She stood there for a second trying to get her sense of direction. She headed towards the exit and looked up the hill to see two people walking down from the path. The two had double bladed weapons on their back, "Oh no, the Vims." she backed up into the town and ran deeper into the town. She stopped in the center and looked around for a place to hide. She continued to run and as she passed a dark corner, something reached out and grabbed her by her arm and jerked her in and covered her mouth so her scream was muffled.
She struggled to get away from the stranger that had her but the harder she tried the harder the stranger gripped her. She looked out in front of her and saw the two Vims walk past and she held in her breath trying not to make the slightly noise. She watched them walk up the stairs and through the back exit.
The stranger walked forward pushing her out as well, "Not only you make it hard on someone to catch you to get pay back you also make it harder for someone to help you out."
Sofia looked up to see KazumiSama. She gripped his hand and pushed it away from her mouth, "I could have gotten away myself. I don't need anybody's help."
KazumiSama backed away from her, "Oh okay where were you gonna hide?" she just stared at him, "That's right you didn't have anywhere. You are lucky I have been watching you since you been here."
"I am not thanking you for helping me because you took my blade," she said crossing her hands across her chest.
"That's okay I accept that as a thanks," he said walking towards the front entrance.
Sofia keep her arms crossed and let him get a ways ahead of her then she finally followed him, "Hey KazumiSama?" He stopped and his ears moved in response. "Can you guide me home? I don't want those Vims to catch me while I am off guard."
"Well, the Vims are headed towards the Skysong portal. So you are safe now," he continue to walk in the direction he was headed.
Sofia scurried closer to him and stopped just a few inches behind him and just walked keeping the distance, "I would feel safer if I had an escort."
He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Fine. Where are you staying?"
"I am staying near Dragon Palace at my cousin's house."
"Okay, I will take you there," he said leading her out of Scarlet City.
