Chapter 18: New land, new enemy, new ally
The cold feeling of a sharp pain running through bleeding wounds. The injuries of others beside him...he could feel it. Lavitz's breathing was rapid and gasping; he couldn't breath and was trying hard. He also felt warm hands push him down as he unconsciously tried to get up, ignoring the pain, but he was pushed back down. He muttered some things, but others were just mumbling...
Naomi stared tiredly at him as tears fell down her face. "W-will he be okay?" she quietly asked the doctors working on him as he struggled with pain.
One doctor stared at her and nodded. "He'll be fine...he just needs emense care for a while...and your other friends will be alright as well..." He said as the other doctors led the others into rooms to stay for injury care.
: That Night:
His breathing had returned to normal, but he was still in a lot of pain. The doctors couldn't do anything except give him medicine and such. Naomi, Setria, and most of all Albert were really worried. He had never seen Lavitz like this, not even after a battle with the Sandoras.
"A-An...ya..." Lavitz muttered grasping the blankets as he began having a nightmare.
: Anya's current location:
She stood up and looked around at the grisly place. It had buildings broken down, blood all over the floor and windows and doors, and stones were misplaced. Skeletons and bodies of undead walked around, but stayed away from her and the tall man behind her, grasping her shoulders.
"This is where you will be staying young Angel..." he muttered and pushed Anya along.
Trying to keep her face down to not look at the scenery she covered her mouth to the stick of Death in the air. The only light there was, was the light from her necklace that meant the Wanderer of the Light.
"Why...why did you bring me hear? And why did you harm my friends when I asked you not to if I came?" she said, turning around to face him with angry eyes.
Raoul chuckled. "Well...isn't it obvious...you are special, and you are an experiment. Your kind do not need family or friends...and I brung you here to finish you up by taking you to the lab...for more research and testing..." he hissed and pushed her back into a large mansion.
She fell to the ground with a cry and looked up from the blood stained floor and stared into the eyes of a man looking down at her with a crinkled smile.
"Pr-professor...Damien...what...are you doing here?" she asked as the man in front helped her up and Raoul just stared.
"Well, child...they have offered me a job here...so, might as well take it. After they said you would be coming here...i immediately agreed..." he whispered and took her cheek in his palm.
Her eyes widened and she slapped the man's hand away. "Don't touch me you traitor..."she growled under her breath.
Professor Damien snapped his fingers and 6 men came out. Anya whirled around and backed into the wall, she shivered as they came closer and she threw her hands out to cast a spell. "Get away from me! Golden radiance!" she cried as the light spell engulfed the people.
But...it didn't work for Raoul took things into his own hands. He ran from the light and pinned her to the wall. "AH! Let me go! Stop, you're hurting me!!" she cried, pulling against the weight of the arms holding her to the wall.
The Professor walked up with a bottle and a pin and rolled up her sleeve. Anya struggled harder and tried moving but it was no use. The man put the pin into her arm and made a pretty large hole as Anya cried with tears streaming down her face. Her kept the pin still and placed the bottle over it and the liquid flowed through the hole on which the needle was placed. She cried out as the liquid burned her skin and inside. But...slowly she stopped struggling and became limp and unconscious.
Raoul picked the girl up and over his shoulder and was lead from the room into another one. The professor in front leading him.
: Back to Tiberoa:
"NOOOO!!!!" Lavitz yelled sitting up in bed yelling and holding his head as tears flowed from his eyes down his face. "...Anya...that...is so real..." he muttered gritting his teeth and sitting on the side of the bed and staring at the floor.
He felt someone watching him and he looked up into the eyes of Naomi and Shana. He knew the pain that showed in their eyes and he knew they were also hurt badly physically.
He couldn't say anything at all, and as Naomi walked and threw her arms around him crying all he could do was hug back for her sake. Shana lowered her head and then looked back.
"She was waiting for you to wake up...you been unconscious for a week now...and you've been raving about this place for sometime...and ...Anya..." Shana said placing a hand to her cheek.
Lavitz looked up confused. "What? It's been that long?!?" as soon as Naomi let go, Lavitz stood up despite the wounds still showing on his body. Naomi glanced up and stared.
"You should lie back down..." she mumbled as he made his way to the door.
Shaking his head he put a hand on it. "Naomi...you can find places that have been in peoples minds...right?" he asked. The younger girl looked up at him. "Y-yes...where do you want me to locate?" she asked stuttering.
He stared at her and she could see the vision in his eyes and she fell down. "NO! I can't! You don't know what it's like there!" she yelled out backing toward the closed door that they had left from.
He turned to here with a stern look. "Naomi...Anya's in there...we can't just leave her can we! Please, all I want you to do is locate it and Setria can teleport us there...you want to save her...right?" he said trying to make her understand.
Naomi nodded solemnly and stood up facing him. "Alright...but I already know where it is...I've been there before. Go get Setria!" she told him and he ran to get her and the others.
: Gardens:
Dart looked at them all and stared. "Are you sure...you want to do this. You could kill yourself trying to save her you know..." he muttered.
Lavitz nodded. "Yes. There is nothing I will not try to help Anya...you would do the same for Shana, wouldn't you...?" he said as the cold rain fell upon their faces as they stood out there with everyone.
Walking between the men, Setria spread her arms out. "Everyone...close your eyes and focus on me...Heaven from the sky, Hell form the ground...find the place we all want to go!" she opened her eyes and a bright blue line appeared in a circle around them sending them to a different continent.
: Delinha Continent:
Everyone opened their eyes and stared with shock at the buildings around them. Lavitz looked around as if he wasn't fazed at all. Naomi shuddered and hid behind Dart and Shana, as did Setria.
"Come on..." Lavitz muttered mobbing forward and heading toward the town, the ghost town that was in front of them. Naomi gasped and ran in front of him putting her arms out. "STOP! You don't wanna go in there!" she yelled.
"And why not...You see..." He pointed up at the mansion, "That's where Anya is...!" he said continuing walking past her up to the gate and opening it, leaving the others standing there watching, but soon they followed.
Lavitz stared around the ghost town. The blood seemed alive as he stepped forward onto a puddle of it. He looked down and saw a picture of something in it, and then he stepped forward again. Naomi ran up to him and clutches his cape (the one he now has...no more full armor).
"Are you okay?" he asked not looking down at her.
"Does it look like it?" She cried frowning.
"No..." he muttered moving a little bit faster then before.
As soon as they made it to the center of the town, Lavitz stopped suddenly. "Shhh...There's somebody there..." he whispered and moved her behind him.
As the figure came up, limping slowly into view. Lavitz's eyes stared at the cloaked person trying to find the face within the shadowy mask of the hood. The person stopped and looked ahead at him. There was a slight mumble and then it turned and limped/ran to the mansion sorta like begging for the knight to follow.
"Lavitz!!!" Naomi yelled and put her hand forward trying to grab his arm, but he was too fast. The others heard her yell and began to catch up when they saw Naomi on the ground.
Dart held her arms. "Naomi...what happened? Where's Lavitz?" he asked calmly, and the girl pointed forward to the mansion. The group turned and stared as they saw the small figures of a hooded person and Lavitz running up the stairs. The person stopped and turned around, Roses eyes widened and moved forward, the others confused but following.
Lavitz stopped and stared at the person moving from side to side in a zombie like matter. He moved one step forward and placed his hand the hood and pushed it back and backed away with wide eyes.
"......A-Anya...what happened to you?" he stuttered and looked at her pale features and zombie like motion of her face. Her breathing was harsh, but alive and she just stared at him with a sad frown.
"LAVITZ! Get away now!" Rose's voice could be heard behind him but he didn't hear it.
Anya's limping body moved forward and placed a small pale cold hand on his cheek and stroked it. He just stared at her. He placed both her hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Don't worry Anya...we'll get you help ok...?" he said in a whisper, but she just keep stroking his cheek.
Then Rose yelled again. "GET AWAY!!!" she shouted running from a 100 feet distance from him.
Lavitz turned his head and looked at Rose who was speeding up; with confusing on his face...but, as he turned Anya's frown grew to a smirk...a deadly smirk.
"LAVITZ!!! MOVE!!" again...she yelled, Lavitz came to reality and his eyes widened as he felt something go threw him. All colour drained from his face and he stared at the girl with a dagger in one hand in front of him smirking.
"A-Anya...you..." with that he fell backward among the steps gasping for breaths with the girl looking down at him. From at the bottom Lodis sprang forward and pulled out his word and aimed it at Anya, but...she evaded it and ran into the mansion, the doors closing tight.
Shana, Dart and Albert ran over to Lavitz, Dart holding him up and bringing him down on the ground instead of the cement stairs. Shana looked at the wound and used the light of her dragoon spirit to look at it. It seemed that the dagger had gone right threw his chest and shoulder, just above the heart.
Lodis looked down from the door and growled. "That was a demon blade...why would someone as holy as Anya have something like that!!" he growled under is breath.
Lavitz started shaking as Shana began to heal him with her spirit, the wound closing and the colour coming back slowly. Standing behind all of them, Naomi stood there shivering and clasping her arms around her body. Something slow moved behind her.
As she opened her eyes, a clasp hand was placed on her shoulder. She moved around and screamed, for a man...with half a face and broken skin was holding onto her...bleeding and teeth as fangs. The group looked back, and Meru took out her hammer and ran forward, but...she would be too late because the zombie's mouth was just above Naomi's neck.
A Slash, a crash to the floor.
Naomi screamed again and fell to the floor on her knees and covered her face crying. Lavitz gritted his teeth and moved his head enough to see the girl and a man...in the shadows of the houses looking sympathetically at her. You couldn't see his face or anything descript able...but...he was concerned.
Then his voice. "Everyone...get into the mansion now!" he shouted and picked up Naomi in his arms and carried her as the other moved and dart helped Lavitz into the mansion with Naomi and the mysterious man behind.
The door closed shut.
