Chapter 3: Fuu Find Ferio!
Fuu twisted the cloth in her hands as she sat by the phone. She had hardly moved since she had gotten home. She waited by the phone hopping that Hikaru and Umi would call. She needed to know they were alright. Her stomach turned each time she thought about what could have happened to them. She put down the cloth and reached over and turned on the TV. A newsflash was on.
…but we have yet to be able to stop the creature. This is a reminder to everyone, stay inside your homes till the police are able to stop the creature. They seemed to have cornered the creature in the Blue Heart District, but have yet to find a way to stop it. We have more idea…
Fuu turned off the power. Reaching up she grabbed her coat and made her way to the door. It wasn't until she reached the hallway that she realized she had no idea where she was going or what she was doing. Her arms sunk to her sides as she remembered, she isn't a magic knight any longer. She turned to head back into her apartment. The police will catch the creature. Everything will be fine, she told herself.
FUU!
Fuu stifled a cry as she heard the voice. It was in so much pain, so desperate. She ran down the hallway and down the stairs. She had to get to the Blue Heart District. She knew right were it was. Judging by the pictures on the TV the creature was at the school. It was only a few blocks away. She could make it.
Fuu's footsteps pounded and echoed through the empty streets. No cars were on the roads, and no people could be seen. As she moved closer and closer to where the creature was she felt something. It was the power she felt before, the connection to Cephiro. Her face trapped in a puzzled look as she felt the power grow inside her. How could this be? She thought, Windum is sleeping. And this is earth, not Cephiro
Fuu rounded the corner that lead to the school only to be stopped by a road block. Two officers stood guarding the way. One noticed her and quickly came over to her.
"Miss this is no place to be right now. You need to get off the streets and get home." The officer ushered her away from the road block and back the way she came.
Fuu could do nothing. There was nothing she could say that would make him change his mind. She could spout some nonsense about Cephiro and her connection to it. She could even tell him what the creature was. The officer wouldn't listen. If Hikaru was here, she would know what to do.
"If you see anyone on the street on your way, please tell them to get into their homes. This is no place to be," he said. Fuu almost believed him. Something was pulling her back toward her apartment and the safety of its walls. Where she could sit and wait for Hikaru and Umi to call. Almost.
"Put me down! What do you think you, put me down, down, down!" Ascots voice rang out. Fuu looked over to see an officer carrying Ascot away from the school. They were still a good hundred feet away from the roadblock. Ascot was causing such a fuss the officer was having trouble holding him. They were headed this way, but very slowly.
"I hate this planet. You don't have any fun," with that Ascot shot his hand up hitting the officer right in the face. The officer staggered back a bit and nearly dropped Ascot.
Fuu thought quickly and threw herself toward the road block away from the officers. "That is my brother, please let me go get him. He will listen to me. It is why I came here," she spouted, trying to sound tearful. The officers looked at her and nodded.
"But be quick please. The monster is close to here," Fuu didn't give them time to finish before she was over the road block and on her way to Ascot. The officer saw her coming and waved.
"You here to help with him? He wont listen that there is a monster on the other side of the building," the officer said as he struggled with Ascot.
"I truly am sorry. He is my younger brother. Ascot we have to go," Fuu said as she looked at Ascot. She tried to show Ascot that she had other intentions beyond leaving. He didn't seem to grasp that.
"Fuu, he is right over there. They are shooting him and hurting him. I can't go they are going to kill him," he stopped struggling and moved away from the officer and toward Fuu.
"That's better now, and of course we are going to try to kill it. That creature has already caused too much damage. Now get back to your home," the officer turned and headed toward the back of the school.
A group of people had come to the baracade distracting the officers. Fuu quickly grabbed hold of Ascot and ran into the school her face shown concern. Ascot struggled slightly but then went willing as they closed in on the school. Fuu opened the door and went down the familiar hallways. She stopped in a classroom and let go of Ascot.
"Thanks Fuu, these people don't know what they are doing."
"Mister Ascot, why do I hear someone calling my name? Why can I feel Windum? What is going on?" Fuu sighed slightly as she shifted waiting for Ascots answer.
"I don't know what you hear Fuu. But maybe if you hear your name then it is Windum. If you feel Windum's power then maybe he is awake. I dunno. There was a lot of problems with Cephiro when the Sarthac broke through to here."
"What do you mean trouble? Is Princess Emeraude alright?" Fuu watched as Ascot walked over toward the window trying to look out for something.
"Princess Emeraude? Princess Emeraude is dead, remember? You would think you would remember that, gosh. Princess Raninal is the new princess."
How could she have forgotten. Fuu bit her lower lip. "Ascot, is that thing after me? I can hear it calling, I can hear it thinking." Fuu lost the ability to focus her eyes as she tried to keep talking, "I can hear it crying."
Fuu twisted the cloth in her hands as she sat by the phone. She had hardly moved since she had gotten home. She waited by the phone hopping that Hikaru and Umi would call.
