Temple Of Seven
Chapter Four
By Shade
Author's Note: Hey, lookit! I wrote another chapter! Oh m'god, I thought my writer's block would never end. Well it still hasn't but you know I'm just gonna try to wing it until I get to the end. I got that planned out all right. Well anyway onto chapter four. Don't be too hard on me, I've really had no time to write with my finals coming up and such. So please R&R!
Carrot awoke to a splash of cold water in the face and in confusion glanced around. "Where the hell am I?" He asked. It seemed he was in a shallow stream. The air was refreshing and cool, not the dry, hot air from the dessert. There were birds singing as well...very...annoying birds. And of course there were the bugs...CRAWLING ON HIS FACE! "OH SHIT! THEY'RE HUGE! AHHHHHHH!" Carrot began to run to the right and suddenly tripped over Marron. His brother let out a long groan before sitting up and rubbing his shoulder. "Oh joy," he moaned "I'm wet," Carrot swiped the bugs off with haste and looked at Marron with confusion. "Is that sarcasm?" Marron pointed an accusing finger at Apple and Gateau. I can't take two, he mouthed as Apple stirred. "Oh, Marron," Apple opened her eyelids halfway and pulled herself up using his leg. "Ello luv, how'd we get here," "I was hoping you could answer that question," a shirtless Carrot replied as he wrung out his orange tank top. Apple shrugged. "How should I know? Now Marron how about you nurse me back to health, I feel faint," Marron sighed and turned around only to run into a drowsy Chacolat. "Marron?" Chacolat rubbed her eyes "Where's DARLING!" Chacolat pushed Marron aside and jumped onto his brother knocking them into the water. "C-chacolat get offa me!" "Come on Darling!" "A-apple AH!" "Oh you know you like it lover boy!" "Get off of him!" "Shut-up blondie!" "AAAHHHHHH!" Tira awoke with a start. "Chacolat! What are you doing?!" Chacolat ignored her sister. "Chacolat get your clothes on!" Chacolat ignored her again and Tira was about to take physical action when she spotted the battle going on between Apple and Gateau as Marron crawled away slowly. Tira shrugged and then pulled a mallet from seemingly nowhere, using it to hit Carrot on the head. "Why'd you do that," Chacolat pouted, glaring at Tira. "Yeah, wha'd you do that for?" Carrot added, his words rather slurred. No one had time to answer because at that moment the fight between Apple and Gateau became even more obvious as Apple leapt over Gateau and spun around so that she landed on his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his neck in an attempt to strangle him. Gateau raised a fist to strike her but Apple began to hit him repeatedly over the head with her own fists. Carrot had to hold his breath to keep from laughing when Gateau reached back to pry her off but couldn't seem to reach her. "You think she's gonna kill him?" Chacolat asked scratching the back of her head. "Well..." Tira tilted her head to one side. Carrot shook his head. "Nah...but if Marron doesn't find an opportunity to stand up soon he's gonna get step-ouch," Gateau continued to stumble backwards further and further and further until...he and Apple stumbled right off a nearby cliff. Everyone (except for Marron who was using this moment of free time to stand up and dust himself off) rushed forward and looked over the edge of the cliff only to see a distant splash in the river below. Carrot cupped his hands over his mouth "Gateau! Apple! Are you two all right?!" There was no answer. "GATEAU!? APPLE?!" Still no answer. Chacolat leaned over the edge further. "I can just see it now," she said fearfully. "Both of them careening down that violent river," "Hehehe," "Marron!" "Sorry," Tira looked more closely at the river. "Um, guys it looks like the river forks up there," Marron looked into the distance and nodded. "She's right. IT would be best if we split up," Both Tira and Chacolat looked at Carrot. "You have to choose who you'd rather come with," Chacolat said in a threatening voice. Carrot automatically pointed at the person most likely not to kill him. "Marron's not a choice Carrot," Tira said tapping a foot in annoyance. Carrot looked from one girl to the other then turned and ran in the other direction. "Carrot!" "Darling!" Chacolat and Tira took off after him. Marron sighed and began to walk down the other side of the cliff (we'll the hill-like part of the cliff that wasn't as steep).

"This is all your fault!" Apple screamed as she wrung out her hair. "You attacked me! Like hell It's not your fault!" Gateau shouted back. "You interfered with my love life!" "Your love life?!" A short fight commenced after this concluding in a revolutionary discovery. "Ummm? Are we-uh- lost?"
Okay so I got writer's block again. No, wait I can do this. I got an idea. Now to actually put this idea into words. Maybe later. Well I'll write the next chapter as soon as I can! Please tell me how you like this...very...short fic. I could have sworn I was gonna write more than this. Oh well tell me how you liked it.
