Hi there, how's the story you think, now I will present you chapter 11, I hope you like it. I express my gratitude to the last chapter reviewer warz77.
Chapter 11. Secret Talks.
In a dark place with very poor lighting, there was a girl lying unconsciously on the cold floor. The girl was slowly waking up. She grimaced and realized that her body was hurt. She tried to reach the wound in her abdomen that when she realized she was handcuffed. She opened her eyes and tried to sit. When her eyes landed on the bar, she let out a sigh.
"I take it I am in the Horn."
The Horn if you already figured out was Rokkaku's prison. Only the Chief of Rokkaku and his special ninjas knew where its location and of course the ways in, around and out of it. That was also why there was never a prison break. Rumour said it was located underground and the girl thought so too since she knew the layout of Rokkaku like the back of her hands and she never came across this prison.
No one was really sure why it was called the Horn, rumour said it was because the bar and handcuff were made from the horn of monster. Now that from the feeling of the handcuff, she must say that rumour was true.
The girl tried to find a comfortable position and leaned her back on the wall.
"I really feel sorry for those monsters that lose their horn." She commented.
"Just like Kaya to feel sorry for something else instead of her own self even though you are in a cage."
Kaya directed her sight to the source of that voice and she caught sight of a ninja, more likely the Horn's guard. The other's prisoners and guards around must think she crazy when she waved at the guard before her.
The guard looked pissed at her and walked towards her cage. Kaya then stood up and walked towards her bar. When they were facing each other, kaya smirked widely which pissed the guard more.
"If you try anything funny I will kill you." The guard threatened.
"Sure, thanks for the advice." Kaya countered with sarcasm.
The guard was about to attack her until someone else spoke.
"Stop!" It was said with much authority which froze the guard.
A man appeared there and the guard bowed at him.
"Leave." He ordered.
"Yes, Sir Sasuke." All the guard said.
The guards left immediately while Sasuke eyes were focused solely on Kaya. He approached her cage and sat in front of it. Kaya followed suit by sitting in front of the bar.
For a while, they were only engaged on staring match until Kaya got bored and broke the silence.
"I take it you were the one who brought me back."
"Yes." His answered shortly.
"What happened to Misty?"
Sasuke lip twitched which Kaya noted as his way to show his hesitation.
"I admire your dedication, Kaya."
There were another silence and Kaya tired of it.
"What happened after I black out!" Kaya demanded.
"You're sure you want to know?"
Kaya slammed her head to the bar. "YES, TELL ME!"
"She tried to kill you," Sasuke answered with an indifferent tone.
Kaya hung her head. "Oh" was all she said.
There was another uncomfortable silence, even Sasuke seemed disturbed by it until Kaya broke the silence again.
"Was it true that there was never a prison break here?" Kaya asked with a low voice.
Sasuke raised his eyebrows at the change of topic, but then he seemed to catch the meaning behind it.
"It's true."
"Well, I will be the first then."
"Good luck with that," Sasuke said. "Well, now put that aside because I have something to tell you."
Kaya raised her eyebrows. In her experience, Sasuke was never talkative which made her more curious with what he has to say.
"You are the first person I tell this," Sasuke added.
"Sasuke, we were never the best of a friend. So, in all honesty, why are you talking to me?" Kaya asked.
"Yes, we were never the best of a friend, but you are the only one who understands Kasumi." Sasuke reasoned.
"So, it is about Misty?"
"Yes, I found out something about her, but you may not believe me."
"Fine, let's hear it."
Meanwhile at Gregminster.
A little girl around 11 was playing around in the fountain with the golden statue. Suddenly, a boy around 13 approached her and pushed her into the fountain. The boy and his friends laughed at her.
"Serves her right." The boy said.
"Take that Eisenhower girl." Another boy said.
"Ha ha ha, that's what you get for being an evil witch." Another boy laughed.
The girl's eyes became watery and she ran towards a house. She entered the house and slammed the door and cried.
"What's happened, Tiana? Why are you wet?" The voice said with concern.
Tiana ran to the source of the voice. "Brother, they bully me again."
Her brother hugged her. "Hush, hush, it's okay. Now, change your clothes before you get sick."
Tiana stopped her crying and looked up her brother.
"Brother, am I an evil witch?" She said between hiccups.
Her brother looked surprised but did not show it. "Of course not. Now hurry up, change your clothes."
"All right, brother." Tiana then left.
He sighed and opened the door. He went outside and looked around. He found a group of a boy laughing near the fountain. The boys looked at his direction. He glared at them and they looked scared then ran off.
"They are lucky I don't bury them underground with my Mother Earth Rune." He muttered.
"Now that will be fun to watch." A voice said from his back.
He was surprised and turned around. Before he knew it he was pushed into a storage room and claw in his neck courtesy of a ninja he knew.
"Fancy meeting you here, Misty, especially with this circumstance." He said without fear.
"I admired your bravery magician boy, or should I call you Philip Eisenhower," Misty commented.
"Just Philip is fine," Philip stated.
Misty lowered her claw and released Philip from her hold.
"I never thought you are an offspring of an evil wizard," Misty stated calmly.
Instead off running away or screaming like a kidnapped person normally did. Philip sat on a chair he found there and spoke.
"How did you know?"
"It wasn't hard especially with the rumour going on. I am just curious, did what the rumour says true?" Misty said while sitting on another chair.
"What exactly the rumour said?" Philip said.
"It said that your father destroyed some villages," Kasumi said while playing with a shuriken in her left hand.
"That rumour was true. My mother killed him with the help of many magicians." Philip told her.
"It must be hard to live with his blood, I can relate to that."
Philip eyed her carefully. "I am sure Kaya told you about it," Misty said.
Philip eyed the shuriken in her hand. He knew it will embed in him if he tried anything funny.
"You seem to get the message. So, I will get straight to the point. I want your help." Misty stated.
"Then, I guess it comes to the part if I say that I don't want to help what will happen?" Philip said.
"Then, I will say that I will kill your family because it seems threatening your life doesn't really work," Misty answered.
Philip sighed. "I don't have a choice, do I?"
"You can always choose to ignore me. At least I got my entertainment to scratch the body of your mother and sister." Misty smirked at that.
Philip glared at her. "Fine, let's hear what you want."
Back to the Horn.
"Are you sure about that?" Kaya stated in disbelief.
"Yes," Sasuke said.
Sasuke put something in front of Kaya. "This is the only thing I got from her."
Kaya looked at the piece of cloth and recognized it as Misty's bandanna. Kaya looked up to find that Sasuke already left, which pissed kaya off.
"Can he at least say goodbye?"
Kaya picked up the cloth and saw something written in it. She looked closely and grinned when she realized it was the layout of the Horn. She took out something from her clothes which revealed to be a key that she stole from the unsuspecting guard who yelled at her.
"You will learn to never underestimate the Deadly Younger Sister," Kaya stated. "It's about time there was a prison break in the Horn."
Back to Gregminster.
"That's all I want from you," Misty said.
"Why me?" Philip muttered softly.
Misty heard it. "Because you're the only magician I know, also because I got something to hold you."
Philip glared.
"And, keep it between us. Don't tell anyone about it, especially Kaya." Misty added.
"Why not?" Philip asked with sarcasm.
"Well, you will find their dead body afterwards. I will make sure that it full of scratches." Misty said with an indifferent tone.
Philip shuddered at the thought. "You're... you're... you're...I don't even sure what to call you since I promise Kaya not to insult you."
Misty shrugged off. "Fell free to insult me, because I don't really care what people think about me."
"Kaya cares about it," Philip stated.
"That's her problem, not me."
Before Philip knew it, Misty already disappeared. Philip left the storage room and looked around to find a glimpse of the red outfit, but did not find it.
"Can't she at least say goodbye," Philip said while entering his house.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
A boy was fishing in a lake, but he had a blank look and did not even care that a fish had caught his bait and swam away minutes ago. A man and a woman approached him from behind. The visitors thought that they could catch him off guard but, the boy had noticed their presence minutes ago.
"Who are you?" He asked without turning his back.
"My, my, did you forget about me already, Tir? I am hurt." The woman spoke.
At her statement, Tir raised his eyebrows and turned around to face them. He narrowed his eyes at the woman with white hair and blood red eyes.
"Sierra Mikain, the coven mistress. It has been a long time, since the last time I saw you," Tir replied.
"Ah, you still remember me," Sierra exclaimed.
Tir turned his attention back to the lake and said. "What do you want?"
"Well, for starter let me introduce you to my husband, Nash. He's a spy from Harmonia." Sierra said.
"Sierra, you're not supposed to say that last part," Nash exclaimed.
Tir was surprised, to say the least, who would have thought the vampire queen would get married, with Harmonian no less, but he was not about to say it out loud since he preferred to fish in peace.
"And, Nash was assigned to investigate a true rune." Sierra continued while ignoring Nash.
"Don't worry, it wasn't yours." She added with a laugh. "So, I am helping him with it, because I want him to finish it faster, so we can go to our honeymoon."
"Can you believe it, since we were married, he was always leaving for his stupid missions, we don't even get to have a honeymoon!" Sierra exclaimed.
Both Tir and Nash sweatdropped at her.
"Well, what do you need from me?" Tir asked.
Sierra knew that Tir wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. So, he could return to his peace alone, but she just liked to mess with him. Since in her opinion, the younger true rune bearer really needed to let himself go.
"Why Tir, can't I meet an old friend?" Sierra stated with a laugh.
She was replied with silence. She sighed.
"Fine, I just want to ask, did you see or feel it?" Sierra asked with a frown.
"Why do you ask me?" Tir asked back.
"Usually, true rune bearers can feel the others true rune nearby. But, for some reason, it's hard for me to detect it. From what the Harmonian Bishops said this true rune is in Toran and it never appeared before." Sierra stated. "And, since you're originally from Toran, I thought I should ask you. Don't you feel something strange in Toran?"
Tir narrowed his eyes. "Yes, I did."
I hope you enjoy this chapter, and if you're wondering, 'Eisenhower' is the last name I gave Lotte, Philip and Tiana, I am sorry if I offend anyone with the same last name. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.
