Well, it most certainly has been a while. I said I wouldn't update unless I
got more reviews so I waited for a bit. Then inspiration hit and I figured
I should probably write more.. so for the future, the more reviews I get,
the faster I write. ^.^ hehe.
"Saori!" Kalibos and Laika screamed.
"Oh my god.." Laika just stood there in shock shaking her head as if it all were a bad dream. Kalibos ran to the spot where she fell and dug furiously with his nails, trying to rip the ground completely in half to save the girl. His attempts were to no avail; he sat defeated as he whispered her name softly.
'Where am I?' She asked herself, her eyes still shut. The last thing she remembered was Laika screaming. 'The ground,' she started to remember, 'the ground opened beneath me.. I screamed..' She finally opened her eyes to look at her surroundings. She seemed to be in a cave of some sort. She started to stand up but quickly collapsed back to the ground with a cry of pain. She looked at her swollen ankle and yelled in frustration. "Damnit, this just had to hap." Saori stopped when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned and gasped.
"Saori," he whispered as he sat on the ground. He couldn't believe that she was gone.. this wasn't supposed to happen, but why did he care? His mission was to kill her and now she was gone. He should be happy, but he wasn't. His mind argued back and forth with his heart until he couldn't stand the whimpering any longer.
"Shut up!" He yelled at Laika. She stared at him half in shock half in fear. He had a dangerous look in his eyes. She wondered what to do now. Kalibos was sent to kill Saori and her. Saori was no longer here to protect her, so would he take advantage of the situation. She reached into the side of her boot, where she kept a dagger like Saori always told her to. She held it in front of her trying to look confident despite her shaking body and the tears streaming down her face. He looked at her astonished. She always seemed so weak yet now she was actually prepared to defend herself. He thought to himself 'maybe she isn't such a stupid bint after all.' "I'm sorry for coming across angry," he said with a sigh. "We can't just stay here, whatever killed Rose could still be out there and we have to find Saori."
"Where should we even start looking for her? We have no idea where she could be."
"I don't know, but we can't just sit here and wait for the ground to spit her back up." Laika nodded, put the dagger away and followed him. She didn't like the fact that she had to be alone with him, but she had no other choice, she had to find Saori.
She gasped at the shadow on the wall. 'wait, light!' she thought to herself. The shadow got closer and she slowly backed away, not sure what to expect. She took a deep breath and looked in shock at the sight in front of her. It was a tiger, followed by a little girl with a lantern.
"Daddy Daddy! Look what I found!" the girl said proudly. A man came behind her and looked at Saori.
"Oh dear.. how did you get in here? Its very dangerous in here without a lantern."
"I was walking with some friends and I fell through the ground.. I. I don't know what happened really, I just know that I cant find my friends and I think I sprained my ankle." He walked over to her and looked at her ankle. He gently twisted it as a doctor would but stopped when she grimaced.
"Yea sweetie, I think its sprained, c'mon, lets get you back to my cottage"
Once at the cottage the man applied some medicine to the ankle, saying it would help it heal much faster and it worked, her ankle felt as good as before. She thanked him and looked at his daughter. Belle was beautiful; she was just over 7 years old. She had long brown hair and emerald eyes. Even though she was dressed in rags, Saori thought she looked like a princess. Belle twirled around, dancing with a doll while Nina watched. Nina was the tiger. She was a part of the family and a sister to Belle. Belle's real sister died a year prior due to an illness. On a walk one day they found the baby tiger. They named her Nina, after their mother. Saori smiled at the young girl who reminded her so much of herself.
"SAORI!"
Saori jumped at the sound and ran out of the cottage, towards the voice. "Kalibos, Laika!" she yelled as she hugged them both. After she noticed they were both breathing heavily. "What's going on? What happened?"
"It's here, the thing that killed Rose."
"No." Saori pleaded. A loud scream in the distance brought Saori back to reality. 'Dear god no' she thought as she recognized the voice. She looked back at the cottage and screamed frantically "Belle, BELLE!"
Hehe, don't forget to review! ^.^ !!
