Summary:
Wanda shoos Jin out of the room after some tea (a few sips) so that she and Van can 'talk' about what they want to do with Fanailia and Zantaki…(ß Yeah right.)
~*~
Allen talks to Tyler about what he saw…
~*~
Jin sipped her tea slowly, buying her time to look around the office. Wanda seemed to be doing the same thing, but at the same time faster. Wanda put her tea down and stood up abruptly.
"Leave now, that you had the joy of being in my presence!" She said. Jin's eyes bulged. 'What does 'the joy' part mean?!' She thought. Wanda walked over to the door and opened it. She put her hand into a sweeping motion to get Jin out of the room.
"Go! Now!" She said. "I have more important things to do!" She said. Jin looked over at her crossly but didn't say a word. When Jin was a few steps away from the door, Wanda pushed her out of it.
"Leave! Now, you little bit-Oh my! Did you get hurt?" Wanda said. Jin lightly collided into the wall to see her reaction, she was shocked when Wanda asked if she was hurt until she saw Van looking confused coming towards her. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. Though she meant to fall, as she was stronger and knew that Wanda was going to push her, she really didn't. She walked down the hall and nodded her head at Van who did the same for her. When Jin was at the corner she overheard what Wanda was saying to Van. "I feel so sorry for that girl!" The voice said. Jin started to laugh quietly, with tons of humor in it however. She had to hold her breath to catch the last part of it however. "That girl…so clumsy sometimes!" She could practically see Van's eyes bulging out even though she wasn't there.
~*~
"Now Van," Wanda began. She had a grin on her face, one of those flirting grins. Van cringed. "Our countries are two of the strongest countries of Gaea!" Van looked at her strangely.
"No offense or anything," He said, "but how do you know that your country is one of the strongest?" Wanda's eyes snapped open a little, but then went to their normal state getting an idea.
"Would you like me to show you where they train? It might be easier for you to understand." She opened up her desk drawer without waiting for an answer. She took out a small little box and placed it on her desk. It was a small oak box with a deep color. It had a golden locket on it. Wanda reached up into her hair and pulled out a little golden key.
Putting it into the small keyhole, she turned it. Inside was a scarlet colored cloth that seemed to be a cushion like thing. She reached into it and pulled a ring with tons of small keys all over it. She put it onto her wrist and stood up.
"Come along V- Lord Van…" Wanda said. Leading him out the door.
~*~
"I think that's enough…" Zatera said. Merle was getting pretty good at the jump but now all she needed to do, was learn how to land, with her hands still under her.
"It's harder than what it looks…and it still looks hard!"
"It is, at least until you get used to it." Zatera was licking his hand and looking over his nails, to make sure they were sharp.
~*~
"Tyler." Allen said walking up to him. Tyler looked behind him and nodded at him. He was practicing his punches in the air.
"Yeah?" Tyler said after his next punch.
"Have you explored around here pretty much?"
"If getting into close cuts 'cause we're where I'm not supposed to be…yeah."
"Know anything about this castle?"
"Bits and pieces. Can't do to much 'cause I don't live here. Jin would know more about it than me."
"Ah, do you know where Jin is?"
"Sleeping."
"Hmm…well, have you ever heard of somebody going 'a little more of this, the queen shall get her king, and I shall get my award' or anything like that?"
"I wouldn't know anything like that…"
"Are you from around Zantaki?"
"Um…no…" Allen squinted his eyes at him.
"Then where are you from?"
"Death Forest?"
"R - i - i - i - g - h - t, I'd believe that in a second."
"Would you?"
"No."
"Oh…well…can I go see what you're talking about now?"
"You weren't so eager before."
"Trust me, I am now."
~*~
"Get away from me!" A little girl cried, "get away!" The man just came closer to her and she backed up and fell. The man smiled at her, showing her some of his golden teeth.
"A girl to do what I want her to, a girl to be all mine!" He said, practically singing it. The girl just kept on crying as the man came closer to her, she backed up some more. "Nuh, uh, uh girly. I'm gonna make you feel good." The girl just shook her head no.
"You're going to hurt me! You're going to hurt me!" She screamed. The man took away his smile and brought his hand to her face, slapping her.
"You will do as I say!" He yelled at her. "I'm stronger than you and can protect you, and all you can do is scream 'you're going to hurt me, you're going to hurt me' well scream anymore, and you can bet that I am you little rich bitch!" He slapped her again. Moving her from her spot on the trunk to somewhere nearby. "Now look at what you made me do! I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't got me mad!" He said, trying to calm her down. The girl just kept on crying. He just got angrier. "I'M OFFERING YOU MY HOME YOU LITTLE BITCH! THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE OUT HERE ON YOUR OWN! YOU SHOULD BE KISSING MY FEET FOR WHAT I AM OFFERING YOU! A ROOM IN MY HOME WITH A BED TO SLEEP IN AT NIGHT! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!" He screamed at her. The girl cringed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a glint of silver. It faded into a brown color. She could barely hear the sound of galloping behind her from the man in front of her who was still screaming. She looked behind the man only to see a buck there. The man turned around to see what got her attention. The man smiled to himself, now that he had away to get the girl into his home. "Are you scared of this varmit? I bet you are! I'll scare him away for you…" The girls head snapped up.
"YOU CAN'T!" She screamed. The man thought that she was worried for him, not that she was worried the buck would go away.
"I'll be okay sweetheart…" He said grinning at her. She stood up and grabbed a stone from the ground. He started roaring at the buck to move but it stayed still, watching the girl, though he nor she noticed. The man picked up a stick and hurled it at the buck, it easily moved out of the path. He then leaped at it, missing it by a few feet. He groaned from the pain. The man started to stand up again and turned around. "I'll get you out of here! So you can be safe…" He started walking towards her. She threw the stone as hard as she could against his face. He put his hands to his eye where it hit closer to. "My eye! You'll pay for that!" He yelled at her as he lunged at her. She backed up against the tree as he grabbed her ankle.
"No! Please! Let go of me!" She cried. She tried to hit him as hard as she could on his wrist, he just looked up at her and grinned.
"I got you right where I want you girl…" He said. He seemed to be trying to make his words go on the air, failing horribly. "Now-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" He screamed. He let go if her ankle and turned around. She could see blood falling off of his jacket. She saw him pick up a branch and hurled it at the buck…
~*~
Tyler listened to the man inside and shook his head, his eyes were glazed a little bit as Allen looked at him.
"Do you know who that man is?" Allen asked him.
"It doesn't matter who he is." Tyler said looking into space.
"What do you mean?"
"It's what he is."
"I still don't understand!" Allen said. Tyler took in a deep breath, getting ready to explain. He bit his tongue and put his glance on Allen.
"He's a potion master."
"So…nothing really here huh? Guess my curiosity got the better of me…" Tyler shook his head.
"You don't understand! This is bad! Very bad…"
"What do you mean?"
"You said before that the queen shall get her queen or something like that earlier, right?"
"Well…king actually…but yes."
"How many king's are here?" Tyler asked. Allen's eyes opened with understanding. Tyler was about to say more when he heard a sound from one of the rooms going 'AAAAAAA!' But was to distant for Allen to hear.
"What's wrong Tyler?" Allen asked him.
"JIN!" He said as he raced out the door.
~*~
…He hit the buck with all of the force he could. It sent it into the tree nearby. The man started grinning until he started to see what the buck was bleeding. Silver blood. The man looked at the creature while shaking his head no.
"NO!" He screamed. The lightning struck as the rain poured down like buckets that didn't stop pouring the water. Getting them all soaked. The bucks dark brown eyes slowly turned black as it turned its gaze to the girl. She in took a breath as it started to change. Its antlers started to mold together to make a horn, its skin started to change into a whitish silver color. The blood however kept pouring, but not as fast as the rain. The girl took off her cloak and ran over to it. Tying it around the wound.
"This will help," she whispered to it. whether she imagined it or not, she could see his eyes soften up a little bit. She started coughing from the cold. She closed her eyes and fell to the ground. She felt the unicorn stand up slowly. She looked at the man who wasn't moving. It wasn't from shock though, it was what he had done that kept him planted there. The unicorn neighed and the man started moving again. As he started to stand the unicorn got closer to him. It was able to sprinkle some of it's blood into the mouth of the man. The man's eyes rolled back into his head as he fell towards the ground. The girl screamed as his body started to decay. She heard the words clearly though, that came out of his mouth.
"She protected by the unicorn…" He said. His bones stayed there in the grass and the unicorn ran, inside, the girl knew that she might see the unicorn again someday as he ran, she started to scream again though. She screamed at the top of her lungs as loud as she could against the rain, hoping someone would come and protect her.
~*~
Tyler ran into Jin's room as fast as he could. At that moment, Jin sat up and opened her eyes. They were blood shot and she was sweating. Tyler wrapped her into a hug and kissed her forehead.
"It's alright…" He cooed as she cried into his short, he started to rock her back and forth. Allen watched, amazed at how scared Jin seemed to be. Zatera came up behind him.
"What's up with- what happened?!" He yelled the first part but whispered the next part to Allen when he saw Tyler there with Jin.
"She started screaming and came to her side…I never knew she could be so scared!" He said. Zatera shook his head lightly but then looked up at Allen.
"Well…" He said seriously. "She's only human." He nodded his head and looked back into the room where Tyler and Jin were.
~*~
"What was going on in the dream Jin?" Tyler asked.
"It wasn't a dream!" She said, sobbing into his shirt.
"Than what was it?"
"A memory…" She started sobbing uncontrollably into Tyler's shirt.
~*~
A/N: For those of you who don't understand, the stuff in italics was Jin's dream or nightmare. I made some fluff for Tyler and Jin! Hehe. I'm looking on the good side of getting braces now so don't worry about it (but if you want to give me any words of encouragement about getting braces feel free to)! Oh yeah! I almost forgot…I put it below so it stands out more…
