Chapter 8: You
(Jenny POV)
"Ugh I am so tired! Lynnnn can't we take a small break please?" Serra asked again. Nobody bothered answering that. Serra then turned towards me and smiled sweetly.
"Jenny! Can we please rest for a little bit?" I hesitated and that's when Serra continued. "Everyone's been walking for hours!" I sighed and smiled at Serra.
"Serra, we'll rest in a the next town we see alright?" Serra thought it over and nodded.
"Alright but you and I must go shopping again! We never did finish shopping for my clothes!" My heart sunk hearing this.
"Uh sure Serra!" I told her. Serra continued talking happily while I listened, laughing when appropriate. Serra suddenly stopped talking for a bit and I turned towards her.
"Thanks." She told me after I stared at her for a bit. I cocked my head to the side. "For talking to me without running away like I'm mad." I smiled at her.
"Hey! That's what friends are for right?" We kept silent for a little bit until Serra squealed.
"There's the next town! Let's go shopping!" I held my hand up.
"Wait a battle is taking place." I ran to the front of the group where Lyn was as she halted in front of a boy.
"Please help me! You people are mercenaries right? My sister was kidnapped. Please help!" He demanded of us. Sain immediately agreed with the boy while Kent disagreed.
"What should we do?" Lyn asked me. I sighed and smiled.
"We'll never reach Caelin if we keep helping people Lyn!" I told her. She frowned and turned away sadly. "But if we don't you'll complain about it throughout the journey so we'll help." Lyn perked up at the sound of that and smiled.
"We'll help you! So what's your name?" Lyn asked the boy.
"Nils and we must hurry or we'll be too late!" The boy started to run when he bumped into someone.
"Careful." He told the boy. He turned to Lyn and smiled.
"I would also like to help the boy. I am Lucius." Lyn nodded while I gaped.
"Lucius…" I whispered as he finally set is eyes on me.
"Why hello, are you the tactician of this group?" I nodded and gulped. "You look familiar. I'm sorry, I must be too forward right now." I shook my head.
"No. I am known as Jenny. I am pleased to make your acquaintance." Lucius smiled.
"Well then Ms. Jenny please lead us." I nodded.
"Everyone gather!" I quickly told who should go with whom as they paired up.
"Florina, fly south with Lucius to defeat the shamans. Be careful though, there are archers down there. Kent, Sain, and Rath head east and don't stop until you see the second bridge and then you can cross it. While you're at it, one of you head into that village to see if they can offer us anything. Everyone else is crossing that first bridge. Got it, get it, good. Now move out!"
"Wait! I can help too. My music can soothe people and make them more energize!" Nils called out suddenly. I hesitated but nodded.
"Alright but hang back, your not wearing much armor so you're an easy target." Nils nodded and stood next to Serra and Erk. "Let's go."

The battle was over far too soon. We reached the shaman Heintz quite fast with Florina clearing out most of the shamans and mercenaries and Lucius backing her up. The group who had to cross the mountains and the group taking the long way around barely fought. Unfortunately, Florina and Lucius did not go away from the battle unscathed. Fortunately, none of the blows were fatal. Lyn and I walked towards Heintz with Lyn pulling her Mani Katti out.
"Surrender." Lyn said simply. The man laughed and smirked.
"You might think you won this battle," he said hoarsely. "But milord Nergal will win the war!" Heintz attacked with flux, which Lyn dodged easily. Lyn ran forward and slashed. Heintz didn't even bother to dodge.
"Go ahead, kill me, it will serve you no purpose! You are far too late!" Heintz continued to laugh manically. I took up my sword and push Lyn away.
"You are already far too gone…" I told him and stabbed his heart swiftly.
"Beware…" he whispered before dying.

"Do you see your sister anywhere?" I asked Nils. He shook his head and began to pace. I put a hand on Nils shoulder and smiled.
"We'll find her. Don't worry." I told him. "I'll go outside to-"
"NINIAN!" Nils suddenly cried out. He ran up to her and turned to the man holding her. "Thank you for saving her sir…"
"I am Eliwood." I gasped at the sound of that and tried to sneak away, pulling my hood up as I went. "Excuse me, where may I put this young lady down?" I stopped and spoke.
"In the next room is a bed, you may put her down there." I told him in a high-pitched voice. Lyn entered the castle then and gripped her sword seeing the man in the room.
"Who is he?" Lyn asked. Nils answered without hesitating.
"He is Lord Eliwood, he saved Ninian!" Nils exclaimed. Lyn nodded and smiled.
"Thank you." Lyn turned towards me only to find me trying to sneak away. "Oh for, what are you doing Jenny?" Eliwood's ears perked up at this.
"I was going to prepare the room for Ninian." I told her in the same high-pitched voice.
"What's with the voice and why are you wearing the hood?" I stopped trying to sneak away and sighed. I spoke in my regular voice and took off my hood.
"Nothing Lyn. Can you take Nils and Ninian to the next room and leave us alone for a bit?" Lyn hesitantly nodded and took hold of the sleeping Ninian and took Nils to the next room. After hearing the footsteps fade I turned to Eliwood.
"Hello Eliwood." I smiled and went towards him. "How have you been?" Eliwood went up to me and touched my cheek. He then quickly pinched it while smiling.
"Jenny… you're alive!" I nodded. "Do you mind telling me what you are doing here?"
"Helping Lyn. How about you?"
"Monthly duel with Hector." I nodded halfway then cried in alarm.
"Oh I cannot see Hector he'll kill me!" Eliwood gripped my hand and frowned.
"You have to or I'll bring you right back to Pherae with me." Eliwood told me simply. "None of us were exactly thrilled when you left so suddenly."
"I'm sorry Eliwood but-" I stopped and sighed. "Mika, Matt out… Now!" They stepped out sheepishly.
"How did you hear us?" Mika asked.
"You're too loud!" Matthew hissed at him.
"Oh shut up!" Mika hissed back.
"What do you guys want?" I asked simply.
"What are you doing here Matthew?" Eliwood asked surprised.
"Well we want to know what you guys were talking about and I'm here because I'm on a mission for Lord Uther." Eliwood rubbed his temple while I smiled.
"We were talking about why I have to see Hector." Matthew mouth shaped an 'O' and he smiled sheepishly.
"That's what I was going to tell you!" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Gee thanks for the warning pal!" I told him annoyed.
"Anyway, Jenny you just need to speak with Hector for one minute, he's quite worried with you." I nodded reluctantly.
"Tell Lyn I'll be back as soon as possible."
Short isn't it? Well I hope you guys liked it! Please review and I know this seems really strange but like I said before, everyone's behavior will be revealed on why they're acting like this in the next chapter! Until next time! Later!
