Chapter 17
A loud shriek instantly woke Zidane up. "What is it?!" Zidane yelled at Eiko. Zidane looked down at her shoes and saw that the ends of her shoes were completely chewed away, and her toes were red. "Zidane look!" Eiko said pointing to his feet. He looked at his own, and saw the same thing had happened to him. A loud burst startled them as they looked at the Door. "So good to see you alive." Britta said unbuckling them to take them somewhere else. "What are you doing?" Eiko asked. "Oh, I'm taking you with me so you can help with some daily work." Britta said lining Zidane in front of Eiko with connected chains. Britta pushed them through the door and out of the room. Zidane managed to get a piece of metal and pick his lock, although the noise was so loud Britta turned around. "Who do you think I am?" She said looking in his eyes and grabbing his arm. She took his wrist and tightened the chains. "That'll be good." Britta said patting his head. Zidane gave Britta a nasty took as she turned away. She brought them into a room with stacks of papers. Zidane looked at the papers closely and saw nothing written on them. "Please, take a seat and sign my name here and here on each piece of paper, then start stacking them on the ground in this pile." Britta explained pointing different places and showing them what they were to do. As Zidane and Eiko sat down Eiko went for one of the papers and Zidane grabbed her hand. "Don't." Zidane said laying her hand down. "What did you tell her to do?" Britta asked raising her eyebrows. "I told her not to sign papers, because we don't deserve to be you servants, when you should be ours!" Zidane yelled as loud as possible. Kihoman burst through the door and gave a loud shriek in fury. "Oh, really?" Kihoman said walked towards Zidane. "Then I guess you won't mind this one bit!" Kihoman said as he closed his eyes and waved his wings. A small shock went through Zidane's side, and when it did, Zidane quickly began picking up the papers and signing them. As Eiko was doing the same she felt her horn growing much quicker. Britta saw this action so Eiko quickly pretended she was scratching her head, and she wiped hair over the horn. For hours they signed papers, and whenever they had stopped, Kihoman has done his job. By the chime the twelve o' clock Eiko and Zidane's sides were sore, and their hands were swollen. Zidane was so upset he stood up straight and tall and began to yell as loud as his voice could stand. "I'm not going to sit around here all day and sign papers that have to do with nothing, and watch you two hurt us. Why do we deserve this anyway?!" Zidane screamed as he took out his Ultima sward. He dashed over to Kihoman and cut open his wing. Zidane then stood his ground and his face began to turn red. Then as soon As Eiko looked at him he dashed our of the room and into the hallway. "Oh, have a good time, There are some friends I have that are waiting to meet you!" Britta said. Zidane said nothing, but kept running trying to find the entrance of the castle. As he kept running, he began to pant loudly. He was just running past the corner of the Hallway, when a lizard, bug like creature jumped in front of them. He stopped, and almost fell back. The creature attacked him physically with his tail. Zidane thought it was nothing, and he slashed it through the heart. It shrieked and fell to the ground. Zidane wiped his forehead, then began to runn again. He fan until he was finally at the entrance. He began to grab the handle, when a creature just like the other, but much larger, whisped through the entrance door like a ghost. Zidane brought out his sward again and ran to the creature. It was like his arm couldn't bring the sward to the monster, as it glared into Zidane's eyes. He yelled in pain as he fell to the ground. The creature them lifted him from the ground using his magic, and quickly shoved him into the room where he was earlier locked away. He landed hard on the ground, and wasn't able to get up. His head was flat on the ground. Running footsteps came into the room. "Zidane! Wake up!" Eiko yelled crouching down at him. She slapped his face a couple times. Then he quickly stood up in front of Eiko. "What has gotten into you?!" Eiko yelled at Zidane putting her hands on her hips. "Oh, so you think that staying in the place as slaves is going to keep us alive?!?" Zidane yelled leaning forward. "Well yeah, if you didn't try to escape while they are in the same room as you, and you hadn't even thought up a plan!" Eiko bellowed out as she slumped down to the floor folding her arms. "I know, I guess we'll have to get out some other way." Zidane said sitting down also. A small chuckle came from behind the door which was fallowed by footsteps leading away. Eiko stared at the door with a mad face and wouldn't leave that position. "I hope Garnet's ankle is feeling better." Zidane said trying to start a conversation. Eiko's face stayed blank until she suddenly turned to Zidane. "Zidane remember how the dragons all had that red tip on their tails, and Kihoman has that too!" Eiko told. "I already new that Eiko." Zidane said slumping down even more. "But Zidane!" "WHAT?!" Zidane yelled at her from being annoyed constantly. "Don't you remember, I was taken by him at Treno, and that's where Tawnya found the Dragons nest!" EIko explained standing up again. "So...And...." Zidane said to her in a blank face. "You don't think...was Kihoman the father of the dragons Ruby has?" Eiko asked to herself and Zidane. "Your right Eiko! but why does that matter." Zidane asked. "It could have something to do with those blank letters we were signing, and how Kihoman and Britta are invincible!" Eiko wondered.
Meanwhile Kihoman and Britta went back into the room with the blank letters and inserted them into typewriters. Britta began typing with her ugly fingers and then they had a conversation. "My immunity is wearing off, I'll be leaving in a couple days so a safer place and get my strength back." Britta told Kihoman. "These letters are asking for our help, I'm sending them to our old friends. You are going to stay here and finish Zidane and his friends off after I leave." Britta explained to Kihoman as she typed her letters. "But where are the people responding to our letters going to meet me, and also, do we have that many friends?" Kihoman asked Britta walking around the room looking at the huge stacks of paper. "No, I was just giving Zidane and Eiko a little extra work to do." Britta said smiling at Kihoman. "The location where we meet...." Kihoman asked anxiously. "Yes yes, I'm putting the directions in the letter and leading them right under where we are located this moment. Britta said patting her hand on the table. "And once I'm gone, bring them in through the back door and finish Zidane off and then head to Alexandria for the rest of his friends." Britta demanded. "I'll do it just as planned." Kihoman said leaving the room.
