Buttercup's POV
I was in this ballroom...wearing a dress.
I screamed at the sight of me wearing this ugly white gown with a pink sash across it, there was a V at the top and strapless. This was stupid, what was holding it up. Everyone was wearing a mask and dancing. I didn't know who was who.
"My, don't you look radiate." I heard that voice, my eyes widened...No, it can't be, I didn't put my headband on did I. This isn't a dream!
"Wake up! Wake up! Hurry up, wake up!" I kept hitting myself on the sides of my head, I have to wake up quick before he finds out where I am. I won't admit this to a living soul but I never been so terrified, he is worse than Him. I could feel him on me, he was close...he...I ran through the crowd, pushing through...
"Come back, my radiant Angel," I could hear him, he was so close. I was in an empty dark hallway...I was trying to open any door...but everything was locked. I was just banging the doors.
"Please...someone just help me! Help! Help!" I was banging like crazy until I felt that chill, I crawled into a small dark hole, and covered my mouth with one hand and clenching the gem with the other. The dark shadow was close behind...I crawled deeper into the hole...I heard this muffled crying. I crawled further down the hole, until I saw...this little boy crying...he had wings...he was hugging his knees. He had tears down his face but his hands over his mouth.
"Hey...hey..." I whispered, but he paid no attention, when I tried to touch him, my hands went right through him. There was suddenly light and I could smell smoke...
"Well, if it isn't our Prince Xaldin?" A tall figure of a man with white spiky hair that hung down his back. He had something in his hand...I wanted to scream..A Head...OH MY GOD! HE HAD A HEAD!
The eyes of that head just opened and it just said, "Avenge me...AVENGE ME!"
I just screamed.
I gasped, waking up...I was in the back of the wagon, my hand was hitting again.
"Well it worked, Scholar Utonium, you're best idea yet, "Angela said, removing this knight like helm.
"What happened?" I was gasping in horror.
"You just started going crazy, screaming in your sleep, but well...no one wanted to wake you, now I see why. Thank goodness for this helmet huh?"
I sat up to Fang flying onto my lap and licking my face, we were at some sort of tropical waterfall...with trees. I saw Brick and Dusk leaning over something, I could see...
"Xaldin is having another attack..."
"An Attack? Like Boomer?"
"Worse, He has it worse of all, Xaldin is cursed with Hindsight, seeing into the past...and with his bloody past...it's too much...he's having a seizure. And My Bricky..."
I couldn't bare it, seeing what I saw...I just ran over there. He was clawing at the air, his eyes rolled back into his head, he was thrashing about.
"Just drank the elixir!" Brick yelled with tears in his eyes, he looked like he was burning up, he was coughing. I just lost it, I grabbed his arms and force him down, I was still in my Overdrive form, so I could easily overpower him.
"Please hurry!" I yelled, Dusk opens his jaw and forces the red stuff down his throat, most just gushed out of his mouth, and he just went limp. Brick was breathing heavily, he was sweating badly, holding his chest.
Angela came running with a canteen, "Laxus! You have to drink this now!"
His hands were shaking, but he couldn't open the canteen, Angela helped him and he drunk it in on gulp. Steam literally came out of his mouth and I heard this hissing as Dusk grabbed a pour of water and splashes Brick with it.
"You moron! I told you to stop pushing yourself!" She heard tears in her eyes, she held his face in her hands, "I could kill you!"
"Brick you really are stupid, "Brianna smacks the back of his head, "Your brothers attacks are unpredictable but you know when yours about to happen. Stop trying to be tough...its ok if you need help. "Brianna stomps on the ground.
"That does it! No more driving in the sun, you're on time out!" Angela said. I felt kinda bad for Brick, backed into a corner by two strong minded ladies.
Brick forced himself up, Angela helped him but he pushed her away, "Time out! Seriously!"
"Yes I'm serious! You're on time out for being such a dummy! You are going to sit in the wagon and rest! You hear me! This isn't up for debate!" Blossom stomps, "I'm serious...I will sit on your lap."
"Oh yeah, who's gonna drive the horses, they won't let anyone near them, let alone drive them." Brick coughed again.
"I could drive them." I stood up, "The Horses seemed fine with me."
"You see! Its decided! You are going to rest! Or I'll..I'll beat you!" She had a fist up in his face.
Scholar walked into the middle of them, "Listen you two, Prince Laxus, what Lady Angela is trying to same is that you're weak at the moment, you haven't slept all night, you'll be in no condition to save Blitz at this rate. The Fire Tyrants seem ok with Buttercup, she has also drove before."
I sighed, these people didn't know how to talk to him, If he was anything like the Brick at home...
"Listen... You've got us this far ok but let me drive...and any danger and I'll call you, huh. Deal, this is weak stuff, we're going to need ya for the big stuff like kicking the swine who took your cousin." I had my fist out and he punched my fist back.
"You're right, too bad...no more stories, "He shrugged.
"Oh there will be time for those, or else Fang will bite your nose off. And shoot lava ball." I smiled, just like at home. Out of the Rowdy Ruff Boys, Brick was a good friend, he didn't know who I really was but he was cool. He was into all the things I was into, there was a time when I thought I had a crush on him, but it was a crazy time in my life, of course not as crazy as this.
" Fine, as long as Blossom doesn't sit on my lap. Sorry Babe, but you should lay off the sweets." Brick sighed walking away, Blossom stomps behind him screaming at him.
I shrugged my shoulders, "Where are we anyways?"
Dusk shook her head, I really couldn't stand her right now.
"This is an Oasis, of course," She filled a canteen with water, it was like a tropical paradise in the desert, "It's uncharted, so we should be ok here, for some reason, Monsters don't go near an Oasis."
"How far exactly to the city?" Blossom asked, I kneed over Butch, who just cracked opened his eyes.
"Just a day away, I think." He sat up, coughing. Dusk gave him the canteen and he drunk out of it, "What happened?"
I just walked away, I couldn't stand the look they were giving each other. I stood by the waterfall, washing my face and drinking some water.
Why do I fee like this? We're nothing right? We're just companions right? Hardly even that? So why do I feel like slamming her to the ground. I want to pound him in the dirt. I just felt like crying right now, that horrible nightmare...that Dark Lord in my dreams...that was Xaldin.
Angela's POV
I felt like giving him a swift kick, he was leaning on the other side of the Wagon. I looked around to make sure that Sam wasn't around.
"You Bastard, how dare you say I'm fat." I whispered. He stood in the shade and tried his best to look cool.
"Oh calm down, I got you to myself didn't I?" He grabbed me by the hips and kissed me, "I have to admit...I kinda like it when you stand up to me." He kissed me again.
