The two teenagers hid themselves behind some bushes, outside of the old shanty and observed the thieves that had gathered inside the lighten room in front of them, through the window.
They could see them drinking alcohol and betting over card games about who will be the winner or the loser.
Law thought while watching them getting all noisy and stupid, that some of them are not only losers in games but also losers in life and weaklings so it will be easy for them to trick them and set Bepo free under their nose.
They just needed a good plan, though.
The boy turned his head to look at the girl sitting on her one knee right beside him.
"I can get us inside there without making a ruckus…"
Elga looked at him back and gave him a disappointed expression as she really hoped for some fighting for exercise.
"I need you to be quite! Can you do that?"
"Tsk…" she just responded to him and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Take a hold of me.", he said to her and placed his one hand around her waist.
Elga felt her cheeks burning from the sudden heat and widened her eyes in shock.
"Oi! What do you think you are doing?"
Law didn't seem to listen to her whining and called his ability.
"Room!" he named his move and the infamous blue hemisphere developed including both of them inside it.
"Shambles!" he talked again and suddenly they found themselves in the middle of the hallway of the old cabin.
Elga looked at the place around her puzzled as she didn't understood how they ended up there.
"W-what happened?" she asked.
"Shhh, don't make any sounds. We need to find Bepo. He must be inside one of those rooms." he replied as it wasn't the right time to explain her his power's abilities.
The girl nobbed in agreement and walked on her own behind Law's back to search for her friend.
While the older boy was thinking of a plan to find the right room to enter in order not to get caught, the girl decided to open a random door and see if the bear was there.
She placed her hand on the wooden door and pushed it, making it create cricking sounds.
Five men sitting around a table and playing poker, heard the sound and all of them turned their heads towards the direction of the girl.
The girl kept watching them standing still without moving or breathing as she instantly regretted the time she thought to do something like that.
"Who are you?!" one of the men shouted and grabbed his sword to attack the girl and so did the others and followed him.
Elga shut quickly the door behind her but the sword got through the wood and stood inches away from her face.
The girl took a step back and kicked the sword with strength, breaking it.
The half blade fell on the floor and the sound made Law look at her.
"What did you do again?!" the boy asked her with an angry tone on his voice.
"I will take care of it! You go and find Bepo!" she answered him preparing herself, taking a fighting pose.
She did a spin to gain force and gave a strong kick on the door, making it fall towards the men that were standing behind it.
Two of them fell on the floor defeated, groaning in pain and one on the background decided to attack the girl with his club.
Law wasn't sure whether he should leave the girl alone or not and kept watching her being troubled.
"Why are you still here?! I told you to go look for Bepo!" she barked at him.
"Don't order me what to do!" the boy yelled back at her, irritated.
"I'm not leaving you behind!" he continued.
Elga dodged the attack by moving aside at the right time and sent a quick hit on the man's neck that made him fell unconscious down.
Then, she glanced at the boy and gave him a sad look.
"I know I'm not worthy of it but can you please trust me for a moment?"
Law didn't know what to tell her back for reply or what decision to take and continued staring her.
It's true that previously the same day he had lost his faith on her because of the way she left them as if she hadn't act like that maybe now they were somewhere nice altogether, celebrating her recovery.
However, he really couldn't keep thinking those negative feelings when he looked at her face and after all he could understand the reason she left like that.
He let a sigh from exhaustion escape his lips as he really wanted some rest as soon as they get Bepo back.
"Are you sure you will be fine?" he asked her to be ensured.
Elga nobbed positively having a determined expression on her eyes.
"Good.", he only responded back and started walking towards the direction of the end of the big hallway.
"Where do you think you are going?!", the one from the two men that had left behind questioned Law preparing himself to stop him with his sword but the girl stepped in the middle and paused his attack.
"You are dealing with me now…" she answered glaring at him with dark brown eyes that seemed like they were burning.
"Hahah, what can a lil girl like you do to me?!" he said laughing hard at her face.
Elga took a deadly serious expression and took out her scalpel.
"Don't ever underestimate a girl who studies medicine…"
She took some force and made a small but deep slice on the man's hand right above his wrist, cutting his artery there.
The man left his sword drop on the ground and fell on his knees screaming in fear of losing his life because of the blood lose but the girl rolled her eyes as she knew that this wound wasn't enough to end his life.
Then, she lifted her head to face the last man standing but it seemed like he was too frightened to approach her and decided not to make a move.
Elga gave him a smile for her victory and went to look for the white fuzzy bear too.
~…~
In the meantime Law reached the last door in the hallway and thought to start his searching from there.
He created his room that wasn't big enough to scan all of the quarters at once so he started walking around taking the blue hemisphere along with him too.
After some minutes he stopped outside from a door that could sense the living of only one creature that its figure didn't seem like to belong to a human being.
He opened the door slowly so as to prevent making any noise and entered the space.
There was a huge cage and no one around to guard it, something the boy found pretty strange.
He narrowed his eyes in order to help his vision focus on the person in front of him into the darkness and discerned the very familiar fuzzy fur of his beloved friend.
"Bepo-ya! Are you there?" he asked whispering.
The bear lifted his head at the sound of his friend's voice and tears filled his eyes feeling pure happiness that he managed to find him.
"L-Law? Is that you?"
"Yes, be quiet. I will get you out of here!" he replied coming closer to him and trying to break the locker with a knife he carried with him.
Suddenly, he felt a cold metallic object touching his temple and didn't need to turn his head to realize that someone was aiming him with a gun.
"It wasn't really smart of you to come here alone, kid…" the voice spoke.
"Who says I'm alone?" he responded back smirking.
Law had seen several times by now the said girl in action and could tell she was quite of a fighter for her age.
He may joke around in order to tease her but he knew she could survive on her own.
"Oh, you are talking for the girl, huh? Well consider her dead…" the man answered laughing evilly.
Law tried to see his expression with the corner of his eyes and distinguished the look of an egoistic bastard whose pride has been wrecked at the sight of two kids beating his crew and stealing something valuable for him under his nose.
"You're bluffing…" Law replied still keeping this smirk on his lips.
"I will show you now who is bluffing you little scum!" he barked and placed his finger to the trigger of the gun to shot him.
"Samples.", the boy said calmly and he found himself on the corner of the room while Elga had taken his place knocking out the previous man with a kick on his head.
"Boss!" all the other thieves shouted simultaneously watching their leader falling down defeated.
"That's what you get if you mess with my friends!" she talked to his face watching him from above.
Bepo looked at the girl in front of him with a cute expression.
"Elga-chan? Do you really think I'm your friend?"
The brunette glanced at him back puzzled as she thought that it was obvious they could call each other 'friends' by now.
"Of course, buddy!" she replied back and patted his head from outside the cage.
"Don't let your guard down now…" Law ordered and took his place behind the girl touching her back with his to fight the other thieves that had encircled them.
They both took fighting poses but the number of the men who were approaching them became around 30.
"Dude, it's impossible to win…" Elga whispered to his ear.
Law, couldn't help but sweat drop at this scene as that was maybe one of the very few times he agreed with the girl.
They may be good at fighting but they were still two unexperienced kids trying to escape from the lion's den.
Suddenly, the wall broke and two scared and out of breath said cousins run through it, followed by a pretty muscular guy that seemed to be extremely angry with them.
Elga and Law took a shocked expression on their faces as both of them couldn't believe what they were just seeing in front of them.
"EEEEEEELGAAAAA-CHAAAAANNN!~~~~", an excited Shachi yelled out of his lungs when he saw her.
"Seriously? Were you guys altogether all this time?!" Penguin questioned panting hard.
"Just stay still for a moment to catch you with my hands you little punks! No one touches mommy's food!" the man barked at them.
From the force he was chancing them inside the room, he accidentally broke the cage where Bepo was kept in and that's how he got freed.
Law, remembered that he was still inside his room and was big enough this time to conclude all of them and raised his two fingers.
"Shambles.", he named again his attack and the five of them found themselves right outside of the wooden cabin and got replaced by five small peddles in their previous position.
They could hear the voices of the other men inside, searching for them confused about what happened and disappeared like that.
Law was trying hard to catch his breath as he used his ability too much and laid down on the snow as he couldn't even move.
"Come one! We need to leave now or we are doomed!" Elga said to him holding his hand to help him stand up on his legs again.
"I need some time to recollect my powers… You can go! I will catch up with you later!"
"There is no way I'm leaving you behind!" she protested and sat stubbornly beside him.
"Shachi, Penguin, take Bepo back home and treat his wounds until we arrive!" she ordered them and the boys looked each other as it didn't sound like the best idea to leave them alone.
The girl gave them a glare and they understood that they should listen to her now.
"Alright, but if you be late we will come back to search for you!" Penguin suggested and Elga nobbed in agreement.
"See you later!" she waved them as they run into the distance carrying the wounded bear.
Then, she checked on Law who had fell unconscious probably from the lack of energy and grabbed him from the shoulders to move him into a safer place where the thieves wouldn't find them.
She dragged him behind some trees and placed his head on her lap in order to let him rest for a while.
Elga looked at his peaceful face as he was sleeping and touched his forehead, moving aside some tuffs of hair, to feel his temperature.
She was truly worried about him and couldn't bear to see him in this state.
All of these happened because of her.
She put for once again this person into so much trouble for no reason.
Her cheeks took a light pink color looking at him and she reached her hand to caress his black hair.
She lifted her head and looked at the sky. The sun was starting to emerge and the sky seemed like a painting with a variety of pastel colors.
A new day was rising and probably a new life for her.
Then, she closed her eyes, took Law's knife and prepared herself to fight back in case they found them.
She was going to protect him at any cost!
