Fatal Obsession- Chapter 16 Shadows
Alright, this might seem a little, but I think it will have significance to the rest of the story. So, put a pause on the rest, and let me introduce a few people to the chapter. This might explain something… note I said might!
"M'Lord." The figure bowed deeply towards the ground, eyes trained towards the other shadow. " I've news." He looked down at the girl standing infront of him. She had ruby red hair, and emerald eyes that were shaped like almonds. Her figure was small, almost bony. She was but ten years old. " Well, Miley. What's the news?" She stood straight up, her back rigid. " She was spotted by a look out. Corwin holds her hostage in his palace. He knows not that we were there, nor does she." The man, in his thirties, was covered in a black cloak, the hood against his back. His skin was pale, and his hair was jet black and dimmed in comparison to his dark eyes. His cheekbones were high, and his nose was slightly pointed. " Of course he would not know. We have the best scouts." He almost smiled, but not quite. " Davin suggests we take action. What do you think M'Lord?" The girl's eyes were bright, hopeful. " Well Miley, I think we should wait. To take action would be foolish, especially at this time." She nodded, bowed, and left the room.
" Davin, where are you at!?" A woman, hair gray with age, yelled out the front door of her home. " I'm coming Mom!" A man with wavy hair that looked like wild flames when the sun glinted off of it, one eye sapphire, the other jade, came running up the walk way. He wears a cloak; brown in color, with slits up the legs to allow movement covered his well-built body. Underneath he wore dark leather pants and boots. " Lord boy, where are you been?" A smile spread across his face as he and his mother walked through the door. " Sorry Mom, I was helping Micah unload the stocks. What's for dinner?" Wiping her hands on her apron, she looked at him. " There will be no dinner son." His eyes widened, as he knew he was so hungry. " Why not?" Her small smile formed into a noticeable frown. " They've found her, and Lord Adhem has sent for you." Davin reached to steady himself on a chair. His face went deadly white. " F-f-found her?" The only noise he heard was his body slamming onto the floor.
Quistis shot straight up. Her breath was quick, and her chest was tight. Sweat poured from her forehead. ' What a weird dream…' She had trouble going to sleep, and when she did, she dream about people she had never seen before in her life. " Oh, it was only a dream…" She closed her eyes, and laid back down.
'A dream, is that what they call it these days?' The shadow weaved in and out of the darkness. ' A dream it may seem now, but soon… it could become your reality.'
ALRIGHTY! I have no idea how you guys are going to like this chapter, and I know it took a really odd twist. But, no fear! It will all make sense in the coming chapters. I am sorry if you don't like it. And, wherever you think this is going, it's not. I don't think anyone could guess. Well, review flame, pick your weapon!
