Chapter 16: Chained down to regret
" I will try to get my summons back." I said closing my eyes. I drew out my sword and stabbed it into the ground. I felt this enormous pain rush over me, even worse then anything that I ever felt. I crouched down and fell down to the ground. " The bond.I can't break it!"
Flash back
" So what is your name and why have you come to Alexandria?" " My name is Heather your highness, and I have come for a job as a bodyguard." " As queen of Alexandria I want to know if you are willing to sacrifice your life for my daughter Garnet?" " Yes ma'am, I will do whatever you order me to." " Then I hereby knight you as Body guard and Private of Alexandria!" The queen placed a sword on heather's shoulder. " How old are you my dear?" " Twelve your grace." " So is my daughter, but I want to make sure you will forever bond yourself to your job." " Okay." " Zorn, Thorn! Make sure the private will listen to my every order and command!"
And so it came. The jesters placed a powerful spell on me. So I was obedient to every order...and I also was bound to my sword and to never give up my job as private. Flash back over
" Heather.what is wrong?" Dagger asked as I finally snapped back into reality. " Huh?" I said blinking a few times. " You look all pale." Vivi said to me. "Oh.I guess I am just feeling a little light headed." I said. My knees were all wobbly and I felt like they were going to give way any moment. I pulled the sword out of the ground with all the strength I had left. Now when I put it in my case I felt like it was ten times heavier then it was when I took it out. It was like every time I left my sword my energy would be taken away every second I wasted, leaving me with almost nothing. " You guys I can't go on." I said falling to my knees. " Why not? All you need is a little- No I can't go on!" I interrupted. " Rest won't help me! My sword is the only thing keeping me from quitting my job as private! Every second I waste without it the more energy will be taken out of me!" I yelled. " Lindblum is close by.once we get there we will take you to a hospital or an inn." Zidane said lending a hand to me; I refused to grab it. " C'mon, the sooner you grab my hand the sooner we can go to Lindblum!" He said just grabbing my hand instead of me grabbing it. As soon as I was let up I felt a warm feeling inside; I couldn't tell if it was love or more energy but who cares it was the same thing in my case. Zidane put my arm over his shoulder, kind of as a crutch. I felt his warmth and kindness inside me and I wasn't sure if he had a crush on me or not. Once we saw Lindblum we heard the red rose airship coming closer. " Oh my gosh! The red rose!" I yelled suddenly having the energy to let go of Zidane and run for all I was worth. I stopped and I saw a blue light shining out of the ship! I then realized that MY Atomos was being used to destroy Lindblum! " NO!!!!" I screamed out in tears. Now it was two cities I was responsible for, Clerya and Lindblum! " No, No, No this cannot be happening!" I yelled covering my eyes. Dagger, Zidane and Vivi ran up to me. Dagger was crying next to me and Vivi and Zidane tried to comfort us. I stood up and drew out my sword. " Queen Brahne! I will never live this down!" I yelled half sobbing half angered. I put my sword back and I fell back to the ground. I decided that I would comfort Dagger. I hugged her and tears were flooding down my face as well, " Don't worry Garnet, Everything will be alright soon.I swear by it." I said. I looked back to Lindblum and felt sweltering anger fills up inside as many things were being swallowed. I couldn't bear the pain that I was inflicting on thousands of people and especially Garnet. " This is all my fault! I have to do something about it!" I screamed running into Lindblum. " Heather!" Zidane yelled helping Dagger up. I made it inside the Castle; Mages were still running around and I was desperate to go to the top of the Castle. " Kill!" The mages yelled after me. Since I had no magic or power I ran for my life; dodging fireball after fireball. I went up the elevator thing and when I looked down Mages were breaking the chords with their fire! " Leave me alone!" I yelled as a chord snapped. The elevator was tilted to the right as I grasped the left side with my hands. " Kill!" The mages yelled as the other Chord snapped.
" I will try to get my summons back." I said closing my eyes. I drew out my sword and stabbed it into the ground. I felt this enormous pain rush over me, even worse then anything that I ever felt. I crouched down and fell down to the ground. " The bond.I can't break it!"
