Chapter Four: Dark Conversations

"How is our lovely prisoner?"

"Fine, my liege. A little violent though."

"It's quite odd for a Guardian to act 'violent' as you say. Are you sure she's the right one?"

"Yes, my leige. I am quite certain she is. Your description matches her exactly."

"Good. Now take me to her."

"Yes, my leige." With that the two male figures rose and began to walk down a dark hallway. Water streamed down the sides of the narrow passage and it was drafty, almost like a cave. Soon, the distant noise of a sobbing girl could be heard.

"This is her," Delma said with a hint of pride as he spoke. He looked to be a fine warrior with his armor polished and his sword carried at his side. His armor consisted of a shirt of chainmail, a helm, and a breastplate with the picture of a snake and dragon winding up a black broadsword.

The other man smiled at the heap of amber colored robes and golden hair that lay on the floor. She raised her head and a pair of yellow eyes peered at the two from behind the mass of hair. Tears streamed down her rosy cheeks and fell from her chin. "Good work," he commended Delma as she studied the girl.

"Thank you, my liege," the soilder responded with a slight bow.

"Now take her to the prison," the mysterious man ordered. When no immeadiate action took place, he grabbed his companion by the shoulders and drew him closer. "Now!"

"Yes, my liege!"

Delma moved down quickly to helped the Jumi of Topaz to her feet and began leading her to her new "room" when a small plea came from the girl. "Please, let me go...."

"I'm sorry... but I can't."

Topaz's shoulders shook as a fresh set of warm tears began to stream down her pale face. "Please," she sobbed.

Delma frowned and directed her into a dark room. "Here, I'll light the lamp," he offered and within seconds, a dim light filled the small room revealing a small bed and a table on wich the lamp rested.

But even in the light, Topaz knew that there was no possilbe way that she would be found. When she heard the door shut, she looked up towards the ceiling. ~I won't be found. Amerina will never think to look so far underground. I'll never get out of here.~ And with that thought she turned her head to the floor and began to some again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So whaddaya think? I like it! Considering the fact that this chapter wasn't ACTUALLY supposed to be in the story. But who cares! So if you liked it (or hated it) R/R! I love to read those reviews, so leave one and I'll be REALLY happy! I'll even read flames if you want me to!
