The [Relic] Girl

Disclaimer: I don't own Threads of Fate. Now leave me alone, you stupid lawyers.

Calin: I'm in a horrable mood today. I was harrased at school. Insulted at home. And I'm really pissed. *happy face* But I'm typing anyway!!!

Mint: *looks sick* Calin, remind me to NEVER have a sugar-party with you, or anyone, ever again.

Rue: Me too...

Elena: But now I gotta...take a nap...ZzZz...

Prima: That's very odd...I've never seen her do that before.

Mint: I'll join Elena...ZzZz...

Calin: Ditto...ZzZz...

Rue: _ Darn. Now that they're out, who's gonna present the fic?

Prima: Why don't you?

Rue:...

Prima: ? Rue?

Rue: ...ZzZz...

Prima: ...Well, here's the fic...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mint and Calin stirred. Calin refused to budge from her place. Mint's eyes burned painfully.

Mint: Calin, get the door...

Calin: No...

Mint: Gahh... Maybe that's Rue. Before he left, he said that he was gonna check out the hotel.

Mint got up and pulled her pigtails straight. She sulked over to the door. She slowly opened it. The was a man standing on the other side, his hair was pure white, much like Rue's, he was 6' 3", and looked no older than thirty-two. He glanced at the huddled figure in the green blanket.

Man: Hello, miss. Is there a youth at this house with snowy hair, purple ends, and goes by the name of... Calin?

Mint: Well, yeah, she's right-

Calin quickly shouted to Mint, cutting her off.

Calin: No, Mint!!!

Man: Out of my way!!

The man shoved the confused Mint into the bookshelf, rendering her unconsious. She sank to the floor.

Calin kicked the man in the place where it really hurts, and attempted to land another hit on him, but the intruder grabbed her away, and heaved his hand into her stomache. Calin's cries of victory turned into gasps for air as he hoisted her away, helpless.

Mira: What on earth is going on here?!

The whole Klaus family rushed out of they're rooms. But they were too late.

Klaus: Where are the girls?

Prima: Look!

He pointed to the kidnapper standing out by the fountain. He was holding a limp girl. They then saw who it was. Klaus, Mira, and Prima ran out to stop him, but he smirked and disappeared instantly. Klaus was about to say something, but Elena screamed from inside their house.

Elena: MINT!!

They forgot about the incident and ran back inside.

Elena: Mint is dead!! *sniff, sniff*

Mira bent down and felt the girl's pulse.

Mira: Sweety, Mint isn't dead, she is just sleeping.

Elena: *whines* That's what you said about Fred!!

Prima: Fred?

Klaus: ...Elena's old pet goldfish...

Mira: Let's get her in her bed.

Mira and Elena picked Mint up and carried her outside, where they bumped into Rue.

Rue: ^_^ Oh, hi. Oh. What's...wrong with Mint?

He said with a concerned look on his face.

Elena: We're going to bury Mint...*sniff*

Rue: WHAT?!!!

Mira: Hush up, Elena!! Rue, what Elena means to say is that there was a horrible accident, and we found Mint unconsious... We're taking her to her room to rest.

Rue: *sigh* I'll take her to her room, Mira. If I come over to your house later, will you tell me what happened?

Mira nodded quietly, and signaled Elena to let Mint go when Rue's hands were in position. He grasped her, and bid farewell to the ladies. They went their seperate ways. He sighed again, and thought (Mint, how do you get yourself into these things...?) The sixteen-year-old strode into the inn, and up the stairs to Mint's room. He struggled to open the door without dropping the girl, and crept into her room. There, he lightly placed her on her bed. Figiting with the covers, he guided them over Mint and up to her neck. Her breaths were slow, and long, and her face was twisted into a shocked, worrysome expression. He stood on his knees by her, and stroaked her hand for awhile. Then, sighing again, he stealthly returned to his room.

There, Rue plopped down on his bed and began to dream about fighting alongside Mint. But there was nothing nice about it... His hat was nowhere to be seen, and his clothes were ripped and blood-soaked. Mint was wincing at an arrow of light that suddenly peirced her shoulder.

???: Ahaha...now, I, Valen, once again can begin to create my new world!!!!

Rue: Shut up!!

Valen?: Hmph. Pitiful creature. Never raise your voice at me!!

'Valen' drew his hand in the diretion of Mint, and let go of a purple and black energy blast.

Mint: AHHHHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mint dropped to the floor and started whispering some things no one could hear.

Rue: Mint? MINT!!!

Rue bent down to her and clasped her arm. Good. She was still alive. But his anger and rage still burned within him. He released it by attempting to slice off Mint's attacker's head. But a wave of energy blasted him backward while in mid-air. Before he hit the ground, he woke up. In his ears was the echoing of Valen's words: 'Pitiful fool. I knew you were not any match for me...'

Rue: Ahh...what a horrible dream... I didn't see Valen, but I heard him. Darn. *holds head* I'd better go check on Mint...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prima: Wow, what a horribly short chapter. I really hope she improves.

Calin: ...ZzZz...I...heard...that...ZzZz...

Rue: *yawns* Oh, hey, when does the chapter start?

Mint: You just missed it.

Rue: What? How do you know?

Prima: Because she woke up right after one-half of the story was told.

Everyone: ...

Prima: Hello?

Everyone exept Prima: ZzZz...

Prima: Whatever...Well peeps, stay tuned for chapter four of this tale... Maybe everyone will be healthy by then...
