Chapter 5: A Heartbreak Is the Best Way To Start The Day

You know when you're asleep, you never realize that you fallen. I mean, you can remember when you shutting your eyes but never really entering a dream. I never could. Sometimes I don't even remember shutting my eyes. It happens though. And sometimes! You can't even remember your own dreams that your brain creates just to be a little shit. Although, I did notice that sometimes when you do, it never makes sense. Then there's those weird dreams that you know that your dreaming. I had a couple of those...One time I dreamed as a little girl that a whole pit of snakes where in my grandma's house, at the side of the couch and at my feet. I can still remember them sliding on top of each other as I backed up into the couch's arm rest and try to fall backwards onto the couch. How I closed my eyes in fear and whispered wake up over and over. I heard somewhere that if you knew you were dreaming, you could wake yourself up.

Needless to say, it didn't work. I got off the couch and ran to the back door, where the dream changed and well...I don't remember the rest. I know it has happened couple time later in life, I just don't remember now. Though I do know, this dream was one of them. After all, why else would I be staring at King sitting on a canon once again? I had this dream before. Helbram's helmet slanted on his head as he smiles cheerfully, him straddling a canon with one on it and the other pointing outwards. I could see his sin mark, his actually sin make design working hard to start the weapon as well as Alicia (she wasn't in my dream last time though) fluttered in the air next to King. For some weird reason...she was dress up like Tinkerbell.

"What the heck?" I whispered softly but with feeling.

All three turned to look at me causing to back up. With giant grins on their faces, the wave happily at me. I gave them a weird-out look before smiling awkwardly at them and gave them a small, loose three finger wave. Then the scene changed. I was in my old school, near the gym and it was empty. No one was there, I would say that it was creepy but I had this dream a couple times before. All I have to do is start walking and people will pop up like daisies. In fact, just as I turn the corner, I could see King (he was surprisingly wearing the school's pe uniform) yelling at some girl in front of the girls' locker-room. Black shaggy hair that looked unbrushed, dark skin and glasses. She wasn't that tall, my size or a bit taller...I knew her. It was an old friend that hurt me long ago (I'm still salty about it because I was never able to confront her) and I was rooting for King to rip into her.

Then, just as I was getting closer, the dream changed. Again. I was at the mall with Alicia and King. They were giggling and pulling me into a store. It kinda looked like Hot Topics but I could be wrong. The dream was starting to get a bit fuzzy. Alicia pointed at the wall that had Disney themed outfits, like Alice in Wonder Land dress and jackets. She seems so happy grabbing some to try on. King was looking through a CD rack, wide eyes and lips forming a small circle. I felt something tingled inside me.

"Fascinating isn't it?"

I swirl around to see a man behind me. Well it wasn't really man you see. I mean he sounded like a man...but it wasn't. It was more of a humanoid snake if you will. I don't know to describe him. His body was the size of Hulk, both in high and body mass. He had red feather like hair that flared out of his head like a lion's mane. Though it didn't go all around his face like a real lion. Around his neck was a neckless? No wait, it was more of a breastplate with a jewel (it looked more like a shell? A conch shell?) on it. Around his waist was cloth that went down his muscular thighs, stopping short above the back of his knees. The front though, was twisted into a knot and hanging between his legs. It was brown, though it could be a very dark red, and had teal along with white lines trailing around the bottom edges. Around his right arm was a golden snake bracelet with rubies for eyes hugging his large muscle tightly. On his left was a gold and teal band as big as my hand. On both of his wrist were red and gold cuffs, colors entwining together. He also had them on his ankles, scaly feet bared.

His sharp glowing yellow eyes with green flaring out around his pupil stared down at me with wicked amusement, a clawed hand on an equally sharp sword. He was terrifying.

"W-what?" I stammered, shaking.

He gestured with his other clawed hand behind me. "Them. Those mortals. The hunter and the exiled Fairy King."

I glanced at his hand then at his face before turning back around. I could see that both my friend and new travel companion were frozen, unmoving smiles and unheard laugher on their faces. My eyes widen and like my lip nervously.

"A young hunter that was trained kills our kind,"

"O-our k-kind?" I whispered anxiously.

"A Fairy King who hated humans and didn't even hesitate to kill his so-called best friend."

"H-hate humans?" My heart felt as if something was clenching it tightly. I pressed my hands against my chest, trying to ease it and shook my head. "N-no. You...you don't know us...her...him...I..."

My body was shaking. Was I going to have another asthma attack like when we had that battle with Ronda? Well it wasn't really an attack, I was really short on air to the lungs. Even though I was paying more attention to what was going on than my own body. I turn back to him, only to see the area behind him had change. I'm getting light headed with all these scene changes. The background was no longer a store but a dirt terrain. There were houses made of stone like bricks and stony pyramid like temples. Trees surrounding the area like a protective barrier. Just like the pictures I've seen online about the temples in Mexico. Now I felt breathless for a different reason.

"A dangerous group for a hatchling to be traveling with, my child." He crossed his arms, making his arms bulge. "Especially if you can't tap into you potential correctly."

Child? I was not a child. Even if I acted like one. Then again, this was a snake creature and could be over a thousand years old. Then I really am a child compare to him. And what does he mean potential? Is he talking about the power Ronda mention that I have? But I'm human. I mean yeah, I use to see shadow people when I was younger and sometimes, I feel like I still see them...but I'm just normal. Just a normal human with an overactive imagination. That's it, nothing else.

"N-not to be rude sir, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I like to go back to my dream now." I said before turn to take off, long hair and feather flying behind me.

Which was weird because King had chopped it off when he was trying to kill me the other night. I raised both hands to my head. One brushed against my forehead that had a small tiara like headband. The other, I ran my fingers into my hair which was now back to being long enough to pass my mid-back slightly and was wavy. Strings of feather cascade down from the back of my head in layers. This was weird. I quickly looked down to see that I was wearing the same thing as the snake man. Where it was brown on him, was white on me. The lines of teal and white was red and teal on mine. On my wrist were golden bands, just like on the Wonder Woman's costume. Though I didn't have his ankle cuffs but I did have a small teal with black lines weaving within it bracelet around my right ankle. Super weird. Thank the gods I have a shirt compare to his bare chest.

"What the..."

"Come child, let me teach you." His voice rumbled deep in his chest.

I looked at him from the corner of my eyes. "No thanks. Mama told me never to talk to strangers."

"And yet, here you are." He sounded amused. "Traveling with a young hunter you just met and a fairy that you don't even know. Not talking to strangers indeed."

Well touché Mr. Scaly Man.

I face him with a glare. "Are you done? I think you're done."

He lends down toward me, fork tongue slithering out. I held my ground, trying to hold back my flinch. I was not going to let this snake person thingy get to me. I may not have known Alicia for long, after all I met her yesterday, but if she wanted to hurt anyone...I wouldn't be here, now would I? After all, I'm not a warrior.

"You place your trust in a human and fairy. You will suffer in their hands, child." He hissed softly, not in anger though. "Human and Sin can never be trusted."

Well, sucks to suck asshole. I pretty fucking human ya know. I kept my mouth shut though as I stared him down. I wasn't one to speak my mind to much or at all. Plus, just because King was in the group called The Deadly Sin didn't mean that he was sin himself. I refuse to think that. I still have time to get to know my companions. Lizard face must have seen something in my eyes for he pulled back with a huff of deep laughter.

"I see you refuse to see reason in my words or come with me." Well no shit Sherlock. "Fine, I will take my leave. But heed these words my child, I've been watching you. Watching you travel with that fairy and how easily you've let him in."

Well that's not creepy.

"He will be the down fall of you. Be the true reason of your suffering. After all, a weak heart is a dead heart."

And just like that he vanished.

Pressing my lips together, I puffed my cheeks. What the hell was that guy on?

"Hey asshole! I don't have weak heart and King won't hurt me!" I yelled into the air, hands cupping my mouth. "So, shove it up your ass!"

Feeling displeased, I crossed my arms and looked around. Where the hell am I? With a huff and the slump of my shoulders, I just walked off. After all this is just a dream, right? Right! It'll change soon, I just have to keep walking. Then a soft voice called out my name. Huh? My feet then started walking left of where I was by themselves. Into the forest. I had no control of my feet what so ever. Guess this was a start of a new dream.

Though it was getting pretty weird. Almost as weird as seeing the snake guy. I blinked and rubbed my eyes. Everything was getting dark around the edges and the colors were getting dimmed. Trees were twisting and turning, the grass was looking dead and the sky grey. What was going on? The voice got louder. Soft and feminine, a young girl's voice. Where is this voice coming from and where is it leading me to?

"Hey Echo." A depressed male voice called out to me. "Glad to see you join me."

Jumping in surprise, I finally notice King kneeling on the ground. In front of him was a bed of flowers...Eliane's bed of flowers. We were at the Heart, his sister's grave. The said girl was laying there as if she was just resting. Taking a deep breath, I went to join him. Taking my place besides him, I notice that he had a daisy in his hand. He was spinning it this way and that way by its stem.

"S-so I'm late. You should have seen the traffic." I laughed nervously with a shrug of my shoulders. "Plus, there was this guy-"

"It's okay." He cut me off. "It's not like she minds. She's dead after all."

"Oh...okay." I whispered softly, feeling awkward.

"Hey Echo?"

"Yeah big guy?"

"Do you think there's a way to bring back the dead?"

I looked at him in confusion. "I guess...I mean there's the book of the dead, making a deal with the devil, science and sacrifice, I think. Why?"

"Sacrifice?"

"Huh yeah...usually you trade one soul for another. It's kinda like making a deal with the devil but taking someone else soul." I tilted my head in thought. "From what I read, sacrifice is best when you have a virgin."

"A virgin sacrifice?"

"Yeah, pure blood or something. What's up with the weird questions Peter Pan?"

He just ignored me, playing with the flower. "Hey Echo...are you a virgin?"

"Wh-what kinda question it that!?" I snapped feeling fire from my neck to my ears.

Finally, King turned to look at me. I flinched back as his amber-brown eyes were now pitch black. I stumbled back in fright. His whole body had changed, looking just like how he did under Ronda's control. What the hell? When did he change? Why was he like that? What is this form?!

"Hey Echo, if you can bring someone back from the death, would you?" He lends in closer to me, teeth sharp as he grins at me. "Would you help me?"

"K-King, what the hell? S-stop messing around!" I gasped, feeling queasy. "Where's Alicia?"

He tilts his head like a, innocent puppy. Then he points behind me. I followed his finger to see the blonde laying against a tree. Her body torn up from the chest to the pelvis. Blood dripping from her red jaw, her internal organs hanging out and one green eye, just like her sister's, was gone. I think I'm going to be sick. I turn back to look at him in wide eyed horror.

"H-Harlequin?" I stuttered out in fear.

"She didn't make a good sacrifice..." He stated with a pout. He then looked at me with a curious look. "Will you?"

"Wh-what?"

Something slammed into me from behind. It felt like a thousand needles digging into my back, it burned as if I touched a hot stove. It hurts so much. Something rushed through my throat like I was going to throw up. I let out a cough only to see blood spilled out. Wh-what?! I looked down to see Chastiefol piecing through me.

I felt a warm puff of air on my ear and gentle hands on my shoulders. "Will you bleed for me?"

I let out a scream as he went for my throat with his sharp teeth.


I woke up with a gasp and wide eyed. Looking around me, I notice that I was no longer in a forest but a clearing. There was a dirt path just half a yard away from where I lay. A bonfire that had no fire but ashes. I jumped as a groan filled the quite air and weight around my hips tighten. I looked down to see an arm, following it up to a shoulder that belong to a dead asleep King. His head laying on Chastiefol's pillow form as he mumbled softly. I flinched away before forcing myself to relax. It was a dream, just a dream. King wasn't in that manic form or covered in blood.

With a shaky finger I trace his face. It was somewhat round as if he still had baby fat even when he was over a thousand years old. A baby face though as I felt along his sharp jaw line, a jaw line that was strong. Then I felt up his high cheek bone to his small, thin nose to his other cheek. Feeling his thin eyebrows and human looking ears. Touching his forehead then his thin lips. I could feel myself warm, my heart pounding fast in my chest and breath becoming short. He looked so beautiful...like a true prince...even if he was a king.

"Hmm...Ella..."

I took a sharp breath through my nose and turn. Sleeping with limbs spread out was a healthy and breathing Alicia. Shaggy long blonde hair spread out around her as she snores. I reached out to her but pulled back. Unlike with King who I got use to touching, I didn't know if it was okay with her. Shaking my head, I traced her face like I did with King. Her cheeks were slender then ours with a small healing scar that was at the corner of her cheek bone. (She also had one on her chin and neck) Her nose was thin like King's but slightly a little longer. Her eyes shape was almond, her lips fuller and her skin was darker than mine. She kinda reminds me of a darker, thicker, younger Tsunade from Naruto.

I pulled away from her and curled up, hands digging into my skull. I swallowed a couple times, trying to not cry. Let it go Echo, let it go. It doesn't matter anymore. Just forget it. I felt around for my phone and quickly got up once it was in my hand. Then I speed walked away from the camp as fast as I could. Trying to put space between me and the group. Just forget about it, Echo. Nothing matters anymore.

Once I had a good amount of distance, I sat down and turn my cell on. Staring at it blankly, I wondered if this was a good idea. Sure, some of my apps work but I knew that this one didn't. So why was I doing this? With a small growled I pressed the light orange contact app. Then pressed the first name on the list.

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

Beep

"Hey mom...it's me. Sorry for not calling in a while..." I choked out, blinking back tears. "It's been pretty crazy...almost died ya know. Hahaha...I miss you. Bye."

I let out a shaking sigh and called the next number.

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

"Hey dad, it's your daughter. I'm alright...call you later.

Then the next one.

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

"Hey stepdad! What's up? It's me, I'm fine...somewhat...still hanging out with that one guy. Haven't died yet! Hahaha! Call you later, bye."

And the next one.

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

"Hey Van! It's you sister again. What's up little sis? How being the new big sister? Rough huh? You'll get it, I know you will. Don't let the brat boss you around, kay? I have to go now. Big ad-adventure awaits me ya know? Bye!"

And the next one...

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

"Hey Ken...it's Yen! Your favorite big sister! H-how's our baby sister? You doing good? Having got thrown into jail yet? I hope you're not stealing my clothes, brat. Y-you wouldn't be able to fit them so ha! Take care of the other two okays? I'm...I'm trusting you. I have to go now...bye."

…..

"The person you're trying to reach cannot come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with your name and number after the beep."

"Hey mom it me again...your oldest. I'm calling...pick up your phone..." I finally let out a sob that I was holding back. "Please...pick up the phone...Please! Mommy!"

I felt the phone get ripped out of my hand and got pulled into something solid. I let out a gasping cry at the rough pull.

"Hello? Miss. Echo's mom? This is King Harlequin of the Fairies. We're calling because Echo misses you and would appreciate if you would her call back. Thank you, good bye."

I looked up to see the most serious face on my fairy friend. He shot me a quick glance before redialing the other numbers that I called. Introducing himself each time and asking for them to call back. I could feel myself become overwhelm with emotions. I could feel myself chocking on them as I try to breathe. King just rubbed my back, not taking his attention off my cellphone.

"H-Harlequin..." I gasped out softly, trying to not bawl into his chest. "W-what..."

"It's okay to cry Echo. No one is watching." He looked at me with a frown. Amber-brown eyes soft and watery. "It's okay, I swear."

And just like that...the dam inside me broke. Letting out everything that I was bottling up burst out. King place the phone to the side to rock me back and forth. He rubbed my back as I wailed and sobbed into his chest.

"It'll be alright Echo. I'll protect you, I promise..." He whispered in my ear, kissing my forehead. "I promise."


So...yeah...

I know, I know. Fluff, not angst. But I had to do it! You guys don't understand! I need to give Echo trama or something like that. She needs to feel the advent that happen to her, not ignore them. It can't always be sunshine and rainbows with her. She needs to feel pain. Wow, that was mean! anyways that was the chapter and I hoped you like it. I'll try to make the next one less sad but I can't make any promises. If you guys did enjoyed this, please don't hesitant to comment. Even to say that you like it, it was okay or to give me some pointers. You can even leave ideas you might wanna see. Once again! No flames! Please! Thank you!
