"Talpa Has a Sister!"
By Wildfire
Chapter Seven
Ryo was right. The three girls trained very fast, and in no time they were able to defend themselves.
"We have to keep moving. We can't stand around here very much longer," Rowen says.
Kit speaks up, "I say we have the girls in one camp and the guys in another camp, so we can have some girl chat."
"Fine, but I want us to go at least five miles away from here first," Ryo tells them.
"Okay, Ryo. We all go five miles north, then we'll split up," says Chi Chi.
So they start to walk, and when they get five miles away they split up. Boys go one way; girls go the other.
*****
"Hey, Ryo! This place looks good. Help me set up the tents," Sage yells.
As soon as they get there Cye takes out his cooking utensils and begins cooking. As Ryo and Sage put up the tents Rowen desperately tries to keep Kento away from the food. When everything is settled, Cye serves the food. Kento of course gobbles it down before anyone else has even started.
"Can I have seconds?" Kento whines.
"Not now, Kento! We need to save our food," Rowen tells him.
Ryo all of a sudden brings up the subject of girls. "So, who does everyone like?" Everyone looks at Ryo oddly due to the sudden change of subject.
Kento, of course, with a mouth full of food, yells, "Chi Chi!"
Cye says quietly, "Tina," and blushes soon afterwards.
"Everyone knows who I like!" Rowen blurts out.
Moments pass, then Ryo says, "Who do you like, Sage?"
"I'll tell mine after you tell yours," Sage snaps.
"Well, isn't it obvious!" Rowen blurts out.
"Is it?" Sage asks, giving Ryo a suspicious look.
"Well, do you like her or not?" Kento yells.
"Well... I think she's cute, but if you mean like her like her... no," Ryo replies. Everyone was speechless
*****
"Hey, is dinner ready?" Tina asked Brittany.
"Keep your shoes on!" Brittany snaps back, then thinks, She asked that just five minutes ago... if she asks again... I'll kill her! And she better not say what she's thinking or she's going to get another thing coming.
When Brittany finally finishes dinner, Tina runs for a good spot. When eating, Kit says, "Man! You cook good!"
"Uhh... thanks," Britt replies.
"So, what do you guys think of... the guys?" Chi Chi asks with a wicked smile.
"I like Cye... he's SO cute!" Tina muffles with a full mouth.
"Well, you should! He's the only one your age!" Chi Chi says while pointing a fork at her. "Well, anyway... I like Kento. And he's so cute when he tries to flirt!"
Brittany quietly says, "I think Sage is cute..." and blushes big time.
"Well, everyone knows who I like!" Kat yells. "He's my little boy blue."
"What about you, Kit? Don't you like Ryo?" asks Chi Chi.
"Well... he is cute... and very sweet, but I don't think it would work," Kit says with a frown.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Kat asks.
Kit, trying to just get off the subject asks, "Where's Ally?"
"She and White Blaze went up to the hill, to play," replies Kat.
Then they hear a scream.
*****
The guys are still eating when Ryo drops his fork and looks up. "Do you guys feel that?" he asks.
"Yeah... what is it?" asks Rowen while looking around.
"What do you think it is... it's Trots!" Kento says while still stuffing his face.
"If we're here... and nothing's happening here... that must mean she's not after us," Rowen says while looking backwards.
Kento, Sage, Ryo, and Cye all say at once, "THE GIRLS!"
Rowen has a 'duh' look on his face as he rolls his eyes. "Let's go," Rowen says.
They all get up to run towards the girls when Ryo stops and looks the other direction. "What is it, Ryo?" Cye asks.
"White Blaze is in trouble!" Ryo tells him.
"Well, don't you wanna warn the girls?" asks Kento.
"I have to help White Blaze. You go and warn the girls," Ryo tells them.
"Are you sure, Ryo? It's dangerous," Sage asks, concerned.
"It always is," Ryo points out.
"I don't like it, Ryo! I say we stick together..." Cye protests.
"Ryo, I want you to stay with us, or at least have one of us come with you," Rowen tells him.
"NO! The girls might need all of you. I'll be fine... help the girls," Ryo says. And without another word he runs off.
Sage almost runs after him, when Rowen grabs his arm and says, "Just let him go."
*****
Ryo ran until he saw a big black thing. He had no idea what it was, but he knew White Blaze was in there. Ryo goes near the hole, but stops right in front of it. He then slowly steps into it. Next thing he knows, he's surrounded by darkness. It reminds him of fighting Cale, 'The Warlord of Darkness'. He walks slowly, watching where he steps (if he could see). He calls out White Blaze's name many times, but there was no answer.
He heard a whimpering. He wasn't sure, but he could swear it was Ally. He slowly walks towards the whimpering, to find White Blaze and Ally hiding under him. He picks up Ally, puts her on White Blaze, and gets on holding Ally as White Blaze starts to run.
*****
When the guys find the girls, they are standing in front of a big black thing. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!" Sage yells.
"I don't know... but Ally is in there," says Kat.
"So is White Blaze," Chi Chi adds.
"WHITE BLAZE!!" all the guys shout at the same time.
"Yeah... is there a big problem with that?" Tina asks.
"RYO WENT AFTER WHITE BLAZE!" Kento loudly explains.
"Are you telling me you let Ryo go off alone?!" Kit asks, not believing it.
"W-w-well he, umm... umm... and then he... umm... yeah..." Kento stumbles.
"He just left!" Rowen cuts in. After all... Kento wasn't doing very well.
"And you didn't go after him?!" Kat asks.
"I tried to, but he stopped me!" Sage says, pointing at Rowen.
"I had to... he, umm... uhh... he needed to be alone..." Rowen stumbles out.
"Alone to die?!" Kit yells.
"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down. Ryo can take care of himself," Cye tells them.
*****
"Master Trots..." Daller says quietly.
"Yes,? What is it?" Trots asks.
"Wildfire, Flower, and White Blaze are all stuck in the black hole," Daller reports.
"Good..." Trots' smile gets wider as she starts to laugh.
*****
Ryo was stuck in that black hole for what seemed like days. Of course, he had no way of keeping time, and no way of seeing either. White Blaze was very tired by now. He was now at a slow walk. Ryo had to get off and walk by White Blaze once in a while. Ryo slept as little as possible. Ally slept quite often.
*****
A girl with elf ears examined this black thing. She then, getting very angry at it cause she had waited three days for it to go away, raises up her arms. Her hair blew in the wind as her body raised up into the sky, and she tilted her head back. A big gust of wind hit the black thing soon after the girl looked back at the hole. The black thing blew back approximately fifty feet to reveal a boy on a tiger holding a little girl. She looked back at the black thing and realized it was coming back. The boy on the tiger's back looked very tired, as so did the tiger. She knew they wouldn't make it out of the path of the black hole in time.
She tilts her head back again then a few seconds later flips back forward and looks at the tiger holding the two strange beings. A small tornado forms around the tiger and the two life forms, picking them up and tossing them out of the way of the black thing's path and towards her. The larger being in red hits a tree and falls to the ground. The smaller one hits the ground and tumbles for a while, while the tiger is put down really gently.
The tiger immediately runs to the thing in red. She walks to the small one, turns the thing over and realizes it's human, but doesn't understand the weird shell that surrounds it. She picks up the small one and carries her to a small cabin. She lays her in her leaf and fur bed, then goes back to examine the larger being in red.
When she gets there, the tiger is sitting there calmly looking at it. She goes over, pets the tiger, and turns the red thing over. It too was surrounded by a hard shell. She looks at it to see a face. What is this thing? It looks like me... but the ears are disgustingly small! She looks at his hair and then touches it. It feels like mine... is this strange one responsible for that black thing? And what is this shell that surrounds it? She goes to pick him up and finds that he is incredibly heavy. The tiger looks at her. She looks at him, then the tiger grabs Ryo and starts to drag him towards the little cabin. The girl follows behind. She gently puts warm fur over it and goes out to get some water.
As she walks, she thinks, The one in red... it is peculiar. They are both very white. Was this one sent to me for a reason? Or is it just going to leave me too?
When she reaches the stream she pulls out a little pouch. She pops off the top and dips the pouch into the water, filling it up. She puts the top back on and walks back to the cabin. When she got there she picks up the red ones head and puts water in its mouth. Its mouth was very dry. She then goes to the smaller one and does the same. Then she gives the rest to the tiger, who lapped it up quickly.
She goes and sits down, watching a spider weave its web. She turns around suddenly when she hears a noise. The red one is stirring. When he starts to sit up she immediately stands up and backs into a corner.
Ryo wakes up with the worst headache. He rubs his head then looks around and wonders where he was. He sees Ally under some skin of some type. Realizing he was in some type of a cabin, he looks around to see a young girl crouched in the corner, shaking. He gets up to help her, but then realizes how weak he is and immediately sits back down.
The girl looks at him, realizing he's weak, and walks over to him. "What is the shell that covers you?" asks the girl.
"Shell?" Ryo looks at her, puzzled. "What shell?" he whispers to himself.
"The red one... that's on you..." says the girl, looking at him like he's insane.
"My armor?" Ryo asks.
"Armor? What is 'armor'?" the girl asks.
"It's the 'shell' you call it," Ryo explains. He all of a sudden feels very dizzy. The girl, seeing this, grabs him before he tumbles over and lays him back down.
"You need to rest," she says and walks away and goes out of the cabin for a walk.
The last thing Ryo remembers was a girl with big ears that was very pretty talking to him before everything went black.
