Chapter 11
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to use them! ^_^ (\/)
Shui-Bing lay in the death chamber. The death chamber was a just a small cave filled with ancient carvings made by Sneasels long ago. He was about to die. Dong stood next to the dying elder. Shui-Bing had chose Dong with great care. Dong was a muscular Sneasel and would be the perfect Sneasel to take over as leader, and finally destroy the Houndooms.
Shui-Bing hated the Houndooms with all his heart. He had tried to be nice to them. The leader before Mei-Hong was kind hearted. He was killed by a fellow Houndoom who opposed to him and his ideas of peace. Shui-Bing knew that even his daughter, who was breed to be the perfect leader, couldn't kill the Houndooms; she was friends with one. She was friend with the Mei-Hong's son, in fact. Actually, he was not really Mei-Hong's son. He was the son the former leader. Mei-Hong was nothing more than a mistress.
Shui wasn't there. A silence was in the room.
Dong… he said.
I'm right here, sir! Dong said standing up with full alert.
Send someone to find my daughter. Send every single Sneasel who can to find my daughter. Shui-Bing said in a low whisper. Dong left the room for a little while.
Dong returned. I've done as you asked sir, he said seriously.
Dong stop calling me "sir" and following orders. You are going to be leader, so make your own orders.
Sorry, sir, but I'm stilling following orders until you are dead.
Let me tell you something about my daughter.
I will take good care of her when you enter your eternal sleep, sir. Don't worry about it, he said with a simple salute.
Shui is friends with our enemy, Shui-Bing started. Dong stared in shock. She will not harm any of us nor the enemy. I am telling you this because then you won't have to find out for yourself.
I will stop the friendship, sir.
Why? There was a pulse.
Because it could get in the way of killing our enemy, and-
Let her be friends with who ever she chooses. Let her regret things. That's an order even after I die. Dong could only nod. She is an independent person. Let her be. Don't order her around unless needed. Understand?
Yes, sir. Dong nodded once again. He seemed to open his mouth, as if about to say something, when a guard walked in.
General, she bowed at Dong. Great Leader, she bowed at Shui-Bing. Shui is here to see you, she stepped to one side of the doorway allowing Shui to walk in.
You may leave now, Shui whispered to the guard.
Of course, Miss.
Dong stood up as Shui walked toward them, and left the room. He figured Shui and Shui-Bing might like to be alone. Shui-Bing looked at his daughter. Her face was peaceful, but her eyes were full of anger.
Father, she said calmly with a bow.
Shui, I-
You're sorry. Yes, yes, yes. You're sorry mother died- that's not your fault; the Houndooms are to blame. You're sorry for not being that great of a father- don't worry, even if you could worry in death, you were a fine father. You're sorry about not making me leader- don't worry, then Shui lend closer to her father, I'll kill Dong, so that I can be leader and make peace with Huo's people. At the right time, of course.
Shui-Bing's eyes widened at that remark.
Shui leaned a bit closer. I'll bring the tears out now, and let death take you. Shui's claws inched closer to Shui-Bing's open wounds, and she withdrew them. Death will take you when Death wants to take you. Good bye, Father. Shui said sadly now, and gave her father a little kiss.
Shui backed up, and stood there. There were no tears just anger. 'What or who was she mad at?'
Shui-Bing saw standing behind Shui was a completely black Sneasel. She held a book that read Ice Pokemon Death's. Shui-Bing knew who that was.
Good bye, Shui, he said with a sad smile. The black Sneasel nodded.
Shui left the room. He's dead, she said.
That was a longest chapter yet! Yip-Yip-Yippy! Yip-Yip-Yippy! I love that saying. Very original, no?
