A/N: Hi! Sorry to take you so long for this because it takes me a long time
to think before I can type it into the story. Well, anyway, here is Chapter
4.
CHAPTER 4: THE CONVERSATION ABOUT AMY'S SECRETS
Geddoe's mercenary team and Chris with the knights came out from their hiding place after Duke and his comrades had left to get some rest. Jacques was on night guard duty too, so he wasn't there with the others. They were also very worried and shocked about Amy after hearing everything about her.
"Amy is a sorceress, but she never said anything about it," Salome replied. "Well, it may be true that she never talked about it, but she sounded worried after she found out that Duke and his crew had known about her secrets first," Queen replied. "She even said that she had the powers of a sorceress in herself, but tried to hide them away. That explains why she was acting very strangely when we first saw her," Percival replied.
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Does that also explain about the birthmark we saw on her forehead back at the bar? That's probably what gives her those powers," Leo whispered to Borus and Percival. "Yes. It must be that. Duke's team must have known about her birthmark, too, but they probably didn't know about what it did," Borus whispered back.
"So Boss, how are we going to help Amy since Duke and his crew are trying to help her out?" Ace asked, looking at Geddoe. "We'll let them try to handle this. If she finds out that we knew about it too, she'll be even more upset than before. It's better that way," Geddoe replied.
"Are you trying to say that we should pretend that we don't know about it?" Chris asked him. He nodded. "But I still want to help her, even though Duke's team is helping out too," Aila replied. "I agree with her. We can't say that we didn't know the truth about Amy. We just found out. We've got to help her; otherwise, she'll remain like that forever," Queen said.
"Yes. Amy's been living a very strange life, hiding her powers for 8 years after her mother died," Joker replied. "She even said that her father was killed by the Harmonians and died before she was born. Destroyed her homeland too? I think those soldiers are trying to kill her. That must have explained why they were trying to kill everyone after they heard that she's near the Grasslands and Zexen lands." Chris replied. "Could be, milady," Roland replied, looking at her.
"How are we going to help her out?" Louis asked. "So..you found out about my secrets too, I supposed," a voice surprised them. When they turned around, they found out that the voice was...Amy.
"A...Amy!" they replied, looking very surprised. She was even more beautiful and looked slightly different than before. She was wearing a short, lovely blue sleeveless dress with tight dark blue pants and the same brown boots. She was also wearing a pair of brown gloves. Her long black hair was shown too as she was not wearing the red hood anymore. The same dagger hung on her left side of her waist. She was about to head on night duty when she heard them talking. Amy actually knew they had heard the conversation all along when she was talking with Duke's team.
"Amy, what are you doing here? We thought you were asleep," said Salome. "I have night duty to attend tonight. I'm taking over Cecile's place. I thought my original clothes were uncomfortable for duty, so I decided to change into my other clothes before heading out," said Amy. Then she replied sadly, "I supposed you knew about my powers too, since I heard you all were talking about it,"
"We're sorry, Amy. We didn't mean.." Percival replied, looking at her sad face. "No. It's alright. I meant to tell you guys about it the next day, but I heard someone talking from downstairs awhile ago while I was talking with Duke and his crew. Then I saw a shadow. I don't know who it was, but I recognized the voice and I knew that the voice was you, Chris," said Amy, looking at her.
"So, you mean you're not upset about it?" Queen asked. Amy shook her head. "No, I'm not. I just wanted to tell to everyone else about this after I joined in the war. I nearly wanted to tell Borus, Percival and Leo about it when we were in the bar that evening, but I just couldn't. I couldn't control myself from telling people after 8 years of hiding my own powers."
They stood there transfixed. "Amy, you actually wanted to tell us about it back at the bar?" Leo asked. She nodded her head. "Then why didn't you?" Borus asked. "Well.. I was..just afraid about..telling you that, since I...only told you....about my birthmark." Amy explained, looking at them.
"What birthmark?" Roland asked. Amy sighed as she came closer to them. Everyone was shocked except Borus, Leo and Percival as they looked at her birthmark on her forehead. "Amy, what happened?" Joker asked anxiously.
"Well, you should ask them," Amy replied, looking at the three knights who were not shocked about looking at it just now. "They knew everything about it."
Chris turned to Borus, Percival and Leo. "Why didn't you say anything?" she asked. "Well, milady, we promised her that we won't tell anybody about it. Even Anne promised Amy that she wouldn't tell anyone too." Percival explained.
"It's true, Chris. Well, I guess I'll have to take my leave now. Cecile's probably waiting for me. I promise I'll explain everything tomorrow. Goodbye everyone," Amy replied as she walked out of the mansion.
"Well, guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow. Then we can figure it out how to help Amy after she explained it to us." Aila said. Everyone nodded in agreement as they walked back to their rooms.
At the gate, Amy finally found Cecile. She was looking very sleepy. "Hi Cecile! Sorry if I kept you waiting," Amy replied. "It's quite alright, Amy. I..." Cecile suddenly gasped in surprise as she stared at Amy's clothes. "Oh my goodness, Amy! I always thought you looked great in your long pink dress, but this is even better than before! You look even more beautiful... just like Lady Chris!" she replied. Amy blushed. "Why....thank you...Cecile. You better get to bed. You look very sleepy. I'll take over for a while," "Thank you. I indeed feel very sleepy. See you in the morning," Cecile replied as she walked away. "See you," said Amy. So she stood by the gate, guarding the castle. It's a good thing that Cecile didn't notice Amy's birthmark because her front hair was covering it by the cool breeze of the wind.
Two hours later, a Zexen knight approached her. "You look very tired, Miss Amy. Go and get some rest. It's my turn to take over now," he replied. "All right, thank you," Amy replied as she walked back to the mansion. When she got to her room, she collapsed on her bed, feeling very exhausted from her duty. Then she fell into deep sleep.
END OF CHAPTER 4
A/N: Phew! All that thinking really made me very tired. It took me 2-4 days just to complete this chapter. The next chapter would be "The Story About The Past And The Usage Of Amy's Powers" in chapter 5. It'll take a couple of days for me to publish it in the fanfic. So, be patient if you can't wait.
