Friend or Foe? Chapter 2 By Liz P.
"Y- your highness?" I stuttered, nervosly.
"Yes?" She asked, raising her haid a few inches and then dropping it back on the bed. Suddenly, she stood up, turned towards Mikoto, Steiner, and me, and yelled "Guards, seaze them! Traitor!"
I stood, shocked for a few seconds. "M-my Queen?" I asked "Are you feeling well?"
"Why, yes, Beatrix, I'm feeling just fine," she answered.
By then, a few of my best guards entered the room.
"Get them!" Garnet yelled.
To my surprise, my own guards lunged for Mikoto, Steiner, and me. Pulling out my sword, I knocked a few of them out of my way, and Steiner and Mikoto took care of the rest.
I had to admit, for a Genome, Mikoto had very good fighting skills. She fought with a pair of daggers, like her brother.
We ran down the corridor, fighting off soldiers as we went.
Finally reaching the docks, we stopped and looked for a boat. There wasn't one coming anytime soon.
"Skip the boat" I muttered, seeing that the soldiers that were chasing us were catching up to us.
I backed up a few feet and fan as fast as I could toward the moat. I leaped over, trying to judge the landing at the same time. I had misjudged and ended up falling into the moat and banging my head on the stone side.
Dazed, I tried to stay afloat, finding it almost impossable in my current state. The last thing I remembered before going completely unconscious was a pair of strong arms pulling me out.
I awoke approximately three hours later, I was told.
"Where am I?" I asked, trying to clear my thoughts and find out where I was.
"We're on the other side of a hill near Alexandria" a familar voice replied.
I looked over and saw Mikoto and Steiner sitting near a fire nearby. I looked around and saw that they had built a shabby lean-to on the side of a steep hill. I lay under it along with some Yan skin blankets and a map of Gaia. There were six blood droplets on the map. For a strange reason, I felt odd around that map, like there was something it was trying to tell me.
I shook my head and sat up. My head started to spin. When the world righted it's self, I voiced the one thing that had been bothering me since we were attacked in the Queen's room.
"I wonder why our own soldiers attacked us," I said
Steiner bit his lip. "I bet it has something to do with Zidane turning into a clone of Kuja. Mikoto, do you know anything?"
"No, I have no idea what's going on," Mikoto said, looking up from the fire she was tending. "I do know that when Kuja was on Gaia, he controled Queen Brahne and...yourself, Beatrix, with a special liquid put into red wine."
This statement brought back horrible memories of when I attacked alongside Kuja. I looked away. My eyes rested on the map.
'That's strange' I thought to myself 'that blood droplet is on the exact location of Alexandria. And that one's exactly where Lindblum is...'
