(YAY! My mom finally plugged the computer back in! So here's the next
chapter! Oh, and sorry for them being so few and far between... ^_^;; And
for being so short...)
Chapter 6
Dillema
"~Float~!!"
Cloud's rapid decent halted almost instantly as the spell took effect.
"Too close," he muttered, and continued downwards more slowly.
He landed semi-gracefully, letting out a sigh of relief. And so he continued, his breathing slightly heavy. After all, manipulating even low level spells like Float took a good amount of energy, and Cloud _was_ only eight after all.
The basement's floor was littered with bones for reasons he was sure he didn't want to know. He did his best to ignore this, but combined with the feeling of being watched, it was...difficult to say the least.
SNAP.
The blonde froze in place. The aound of bone being crushed underfoot, that was what that was, wasn't it? This was going to be a _very_ bad day...
'Turn around...slowly...'
The creature looked down at him, just daring him to move any further. Cloud had to fight the urge to run. Yep. _Reeeeally_ bad day.
Monster and boy locked gazes, neither moving. Even with his darkness sight, his view of the monster was hazy, save the beady red eyes. With no other options left to him, Cloud took a step back.
That was definately the stupidest thing he'd done all day.
It was taken as a threat, and he was charged. He stayed frozen in place for about half a second before calling "Float!" again. He shot up into the air, narrowly missing being smashed. His heart raced as the monster below looked up and hissed at him. Cloud shuddered. How did he get himself into such situations?
