Chapter 3, The Fire Mage
Lita and Darren started back to Lita's place. She had told him more and more about herself as they walked. She told him that she didn't know her real parents, and that her adopted ones were murdered. She had been living alone since she was ten. He learned that she was only 15, a year younger than himself. And that he was the first boy to ever take interest in Lita. Darren had a hard time believing that, she was one of the most stunning girls he had ever seen.
Lita had also learned a little about Darren, too. Darren had also never met his parents, but he grew up alone. Once, someone had tried to put him in an orphanage, but he ran away. Lita learned that Darren's friend, Dimitri, was who they were going to meet. Darren said that Dimitri was an excellent pirate at one time, even though he was only 17. But, his crew threw him overboard and he had been going from port to port trying to find his ship.
As the two were getting to know each other, two guards had began to follow them. One was a scrawny fellow, but the other was built like a brick. "That girl, isn't that Lita Kino, Alexander?" said the small man. "Yeah James, wait until she makes a dumb move and we'll arrest her, and knowing her, it won't take her long to do something dumb." Said Alexander. Almost as if one cue, Lita pick-pocketed a man walking past her. James didn't catch it, but Alexander did. He grabbed Lita by the pony-tail and threw her to the ground.
Lita turned to see who had thrown her, she quivered when she saw the captain of the guards, Alexander, standing behind her. "Heh heh, hello sir, did I do something wrong?" she asked, innocently. "Don't play dumb Kino, if that's possible, I saw you take that mans gold, it's the gallows for you this time." Lita jumped up and ran, she couldn't believe that Alexander would hang her just because she pick-pocketed someone.
Darren looked back at Lita, "Don't follow me." Lita whispered as she ran by. Darren saw the two guards and ran as well. Darren was also on his last warning, if the guards caught him, he'd never have to worry about getting caught again. Darren bolted down an alley as Lita ran down another. "You take McConnel, I want to be the one to bring in Kino." said Alexander. Lita saw the large captain right on her heels. Alexander caught the young thief by the neck and slammed her into a wall. Blood flew from her mouth and nose as her face hit the hard stone wall. Lita kicked and thrashed, but Alexander didn't let go. He smashed her off the wall again and she blacked out.
"I can't wait to see you hang." Thought Alexander. "My aren't we tough, beating up girls." Alexander turned to see a girl with long Raven hair staring at him. "Who the hell do you think you are, you can't talk to the captain of the guards like that." Said Alexander, hatefully. "I am the fire mage Rei Hino, and I'll talk to you however I damn well please." Replied the girl. She blew a stream of fire at Alexander, it hit him and threw him back, causing him to drop Lita. He impacted the hard stone wall, smoking, but not dead. Rei laughed, she walked toward Lita and made sure she was okay. "Now let's hope Amy can help you friend." She thought.
Well, that's that. That was my longest chapter, and my first cliff-hanger. Any Rei fans will be happy to see this chapter, and any Amy fans will want to check out the next chapter, The Ice Mage. And don't worry, Mina and Serena will show up too. So, until next time R/R -Fluff
