Hi~ I am back~ Sucky chapter by the way.
Four Shooting Stars Chapter 11
"My! Of course the pearl on your necklace!"
"My pearl…?" Rein asked.
He nodded happily, like a 5 year old child wanting a sweet. "I just have to find the entrance of the darn cave! So, I need your help!" he smiled sweetly.
"M…My help?" Rein was confused. Was he talking about the legendary cave with the elixir? But… She doesn't have any clue where is it? Doesn't the cave change its position every month? "B…but I don't know where is it…" Rein stammered, afraid of the man in front of her. Yes, he was smiling, but… There was a dagger hidden in his cheerful smile and 'kind' eyes.
"Bad girl! Don't you know that lying is bad?" he pouted and said, stroking her cheek.
"I… I really don't know!" Rein whimpered, as a shot of electricity shot up her body.
"Bad girls have to be punished!" Luke smiled, as more electricity ran up her body.
"I really don't KNOW!" She screamed as Luke increased the electricity level. Bright, save me! She thought, crying. The electricity current increased so did her screaming. She tried using her powers, but they wouldn't work.
"Naughty, naughty! I wonder if you will you will still be so stubborn after looking at this~" he smirked and took out a mirror. The clear reflection of her face changed into the view of Fine, Shade and Bright.
"Shade, any new findings?" Fine said seriously as they walked into a unused classroom.
"None, I can't feel anything." Fine nodded.
"You?" Fine asked Bright.
"I…" Bright stuttered, clutching his heart in immense pain. "Rein… Rein is in great pain and fear..."
Fine looked at Bright, worried. She patted his shoulders, "We will save her and end this war. Destroy the elixir."
There was a huge wind and all the doors and windows slammed shut. Fine frowned and ran to the doors, trying to open them. "Shade… We are stuck. Its locked from the outside and something is preventing us from touching the door." Fine said, her calm voice having a slight crack. Shade walked towards her and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry, everything will work out," Shade said into her hair. Fine hugged him back; her shoulder's trembling slightly.
"I cannot be weak now! Not… now…" Fine whispered, pulling away from the hug. "Come, we have to do some planning now." She sat on a chair, taking out a huge stack of books. A figure appeared beside her, caressing her cheek. Fine froze, feeling the warm fingers on her face. A tear fell onto her shoulder.
Then, the image disappeared.
"Ah! Master!" Luke turned around and bowed.
"At ease," the 'Master' said. "Little Princess, you do not want my servant's son to kill your poor friends do you? He can kill without a trace~" He smirked.
"You! You are the Moon Minister or should I also say, the headmaster and King of the Eternal planet!" Rein growled. He laughed, "Took you quite a while~"
Rein looked at the man in front of her. "Al….alright… I will try… Just… Just don't hurt Bright, Fine and Shade. Please."
He smiled.
(This is an extra on what's happening to Rainie and Show. You can skip this if you want.)
"What are you doing!" The headmaster growled. Show immediately broke the kiss, horror written on their faces.
"King Roman, the Headmaster!" Rainie fell to her knees, trembling. Show knelt in front of her, acting as a barrier between her and the king/headmaster.
"You two! Do you know how serious is this crime! You! What did I do wrong? I treated you like a princess, yet… yet you choose this SHIT!" he spat, glaring at Rainie.
"Please punish me." Show looked at the king.
"HA! I should punish you! I shouldn't have trusted you! Men! Hang him!"
"Wait! Punish me instead! It's my fault! I loved him… I just wanted to be together with him…. Punish me."
"Your majesty, what we have done, is it wrong? Your majesty, if you were me, what will you do?" Show asked.
"I…I will kill the king." Roman growled.
"I will not. My loyalty lies with you."
"Fine! Your fate depends on this coin. If it is heads, you live, if it is tails, both die." Roman threw a coin. Show and Rainie looked hopefully at it, wishing for a miracle.
Heads! They live! Rainie smiled, hugging Show from behind. Her shirt was lifted a bit, revealing her stomach. Realising this, she quickly pulled it back down.
"Wait! Show, move away!" Roman commanded. He walked towards Rainie and with shaking hands, he lifted her shirt a little. The sign was gone. The sign that was stamped on all girls of his country was gone. The sign of purity, the sign that she was still a virgin was gone. Ervin could no longer stand it. The girl he loved deeply and the man he trusted more then anyone betrayed him.
"Burn them at once!" He bellowed. His men dragged both of them, burning them.
"Sorry Fine, we can no longer help you…" Rainie and Show's voice rang out in Fine's mind.
"They're dead." Shade, Bright and Fine said at the same time. Tears was flowing down Fine's cheek, as Rainie and Show's soul left.
"We are left alone…" Fine sobbed. "RAINIE! SHOW! COME BACK!" she shouted.
"Fine!" Shade hugged her from behind, "We still have each other, and Ady, and Vanness , and her sisters!"
Fine dried her tears, her eyes filled with hatred. She will take revenge! She will! "Guys, I think I know where they are…"
"Nic! Tell me! Tell me where is your master!" Fine growled, grabbing Nic's collar.
"Fine! Calm down!" Shade tried pulling Fine away.
"So… So you have found out…. How?" Nic asked, his voice barely a whisper.
"That they where we were locked inside the classroom. You were beside me, caressing my cheek, crying."
"How…"
"Your touch. Your touch is still as gentle, as warm…" Fine laughed, disgusted with herself. He smiled dolefully.
"I will bring you there. And Fine, I… I really did love you…" Nic smiled and touch her cheek gently. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she had to be strong. She pushed him away, telling him to hurry up. "Don't follow us." She snarled, building a fire wall around Shade and Bright, which only disappeared once Fine and Nic was out of sight.
"So… Where is it?" Rowan asked once more, still pissed and sad from that incident.
"I… I don't know… I followed your instructions, but the pearl wouldn't react!" Rein was desperate.
"How can it be? Unless…" he glared at Rein, taking a whip and whipped her. Rein cried out in pain, blood tricking down her arms, legs and stomach. Her pretty face was filled with cuts. She looked weak, sick, tortured, but, she still looked beautiful.
"LIAR!" He bellowed and whipped even harder. Her tears was mixed with her blood. She was dizzy, not able to see clearly. She was in immense pain, pain that was eating her up. BRIGHT! FINE! SAVE ME! She screamed in her head, unable the bear with the pain. Her eyes could no longer open… Bye bye….
"REIN!" Fine screamed, looking at Rein's battered body. She wanted to run, to kill Rowan, to save Rein. Nic pulled her back.
"Ah! We have new members joining us! My, my! Nic! You brought her here? You bad boy!" Rowan smirked, walking towards Nic.
"Rowan!" Nic growled.
"Don't. You. Dare. Touch. Them." Fine growled, fire dancing around her.
"Ah! What a scary princess!" Rowan pretended to be afraid, smirking.
"Release Rein and let Nic bring her away! I have what you need." She looked coldly at him. "The pearl Rein's had is a fake. I made it, thinking that it suits her."
Rowan's eyes widen. "Let… let her go, and I will bring you to the cave…" Fine's voice weaken, pleading with him.
"Deal!" Rowan released Rein and pushed her to Nic. Ropes reached out to Fine, binding her.
"Nic, bring Rein back. Thank you for your help! You will always be my best friend!" Fine smiled.
"Fine!" Rein cried, as she awaken.
"Rein, help me take care of Shade 'kay? And I know that you are angry with me, but don't let Bright wait. I love you, my sis," Fine continued, as she was being dragged into darkness.
"FINE!" Rein cried, her tears would not stop.
"Princess Rein, let's go," Nic said, dragging Rein away, his tears falling silently.
