Part Five
Aurora, who had been trying to calm them down, mainly Cherri, looked at JJ
in surprise and
alarm. "What the hell did you do?"
"How in the hell should I know?" JJ shouted mad and frustrated, and already
worried about
vaporizing her one-time friend.
"Well bring her back!" Aurora said worriedly.
"I don't know how!"
"Break it up!" Ariel and Cat said at the same time. "We need to wait for
Trista now," Cat said
evenly. "And hope Cherri's alright," Ariel added worriedly.
"Most of all," Aurora said, now being the only one without some kind of
gem, "we need to
figure out how to work those gems, and Cherri's powers, so we can all go
home."
************
"What do we do now?" Ariel asked, talking to no one in particular.
"I have no idea besides wait, but this situation keeps getting stranger by
the minute," Cat replied,
still fingering her charm.
JJ was sitting away from them, having an argument with her pendant,
demanding that it bring
Cherri back. It would have been funny if JJ's eyes weren't red from tears
and her cheeks puffy
and red as well.
Ariel stared at her new ruby necklace. She wondered what kind of powers she
now had and why
she got them. She began to worry about Cherri, as well as Trista. Trista
had been gone for a
long time now.
The girls froze hear a sound coming closer, and looked up to see a shadow
approaching.
JJ and Cat moved to their feet, ready for anything. They let out tense
breaths as Trista stepped
into the light.
"Hello girls. Aurora, these are for you," she said as she handed the
gauntlets to her. Aurora just
stared at them.
"Are you sure they're for me?"
"That's what the label said," Trista replied. She looked around the fire.
Concern immediately
suffused her face as she noticed that one was missing. "Where's Cherri?"
"JJ and her had a fight when a black spider thing attacked, and JJ's pendant
seemed to have made
her disappear," Cat replied quietly. Trista groaned. JJ stepped away from
them all looking
ashamed and angry at herself, biting her lip and avoiding Trista's eyes.
"Oh no. We have to go and search for her as soon as possible. We have no
idea what dangers
are out there, or how much."
Aurora and Ariel stood, and packed their stuff and packages into their
backpacks. JJ doused the
fire then looked at her package that Cherri had given them and they never
opened, then put it into
her backpack.
"We're ready," Ariel said after looking them over. She wondered what kind of
trouble they were
heading into and prayed silently that Cherri was alright and not in enemy
clutches.
************
Cherri was swept into the abyss. Dark, cold, and lonely, she fell onward,
inside a hole or cavern
of some sort. Down, down, down. She could feel her limbs go numb, although
she couldn't see a
thing.
It was torture. There was no death...she just continued to fall. It seemed
like forever. She kept
waiting for the other shoe to drop, her muscles tensed, fear was running
high.
Her book and backpack where held close to the free falling body, though her
hair was streaming
behind her in the dark.
She could hear things... in the pit below. God, she wasn't going to make
it. She never wanted to
die here... she didn't want to come here!
In her mind, she could see everyone she was leaving behind - her mom and
dad... her pesky
brothers, her pet cats, her room... her friends....
*Guess it just goes to show that I shouldn't piss off girls with amulets.*
She could feel them now, red hot eyes upon her skin, burning through her
flesh. The end was
closer now. The sickening crunch or bones breaking, the slimy feel of blood
coating the stone
wall.
She was to weak... she couldn't prevent it. She was willing to accept her
fate, but she was
beginning to think that fate should give her another chance.
For her, it was to late. The impact was hard, and she gored herself in the
darkness of the pit, her
body twisting in un-human ways as she slow began her descent to the
afterworld.
*So much for me being miss-save the day....*
~~~~~~~~
It was a gruesome site. He wasn't sure.... It was pretty bad. But, she
still clung to life, just
barely. He had to try. Some one had to put her there for a reason, maybe
it was the Queits.
Maybe she was a threat to them.
Looking up at his leader, he knew that Ryo thought the same thing.
Sage decided to get started, but looking at the mauled girl... it was almost
more than he could
take.
Slowly, he reached out his hand placing them on precise spots, to make sure
she really was still
salvage able.
Geeze, she sounded almost like a scrap yard or something...
Halo then proceeded to heal her, or at least try to. The wounds where still
going to be sore, but
she would live, more likely than not. He would finish later, she still had
many other things that
would probably scar later. He could fix them, but he needed to rest.
Some thing was different about this girl.
Maybe when she woke up, they could find what it was.
