Chapter 30 When Did This Happen?!?!?!?!



Sigh, I new day, another school day . Christmas break is over. For those who didn't exercise are getting a belly, unlike others who cry on the street or in the room with a broken pain as the rich and famous walk by laughing. Not even showing the hint of kindness or pity. Some dead bodies, dead form the cold, scattered the alley's. The ones who survive eat of the dead of the others, taking whatever they can.

This is how it works; if you can't win you lose and die. You have to end up living like maggots in the park, alleys and sewers is where u find the most comfort, as others use warm comfy beds. Imagine sleeping in garbage's, cement or even benches for a bed, you must say you pity them, or at least try. Next time you see one . give them food . A blanket .

Now you, the reader, must be wondering what this has to do with the story . well you'll see .

Rain poured down hard on the streets of the city, a little odd. but winter was almost over . In the Tim Horton's the rain hit's the windows like needles ... the rapping sound still is there .

Filia walked over to the seat with her hot chocolate and sat down, she was staring out of the window. She cupped her hand around the cup and sighed.

"Scooch over Fi," said Lina sitting beside her. They all had decided to get together, now Filia, Lina, Gourry, Slypheil, Zelgadis and Amelia where all sitting in a both a Tim's discussing matters. "Now that where all here . Has anyone have anything to bring up before we start?"

"Well . something has been happening and it's very odd," said Zelgadis put his hand on his chin thinking, "Rezo's been acting very weird lately. his missed worked for about a week now and he locks him self in the basement for days on end. Not that I'm worried or anything it's just different ."

"Do you think it could have to do anything with . you know . what happened at the school?" asked Amelia sounding worried.

"Maybe.. We have no clue yet." said Lina.

"I have something to say too ... But something different seems to be happening at my house," Gourry said, " It's may sound unimportant but .a lot of things are going missing and one time . I think someone tired to steal my sword of light . and now . all the plants seem to be growing at an very fast pace . especially the oak tree ."

"You mean Flagoon?" asked Slypheil coming to sit down at the table beside them. Gourry nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Well . Miss Lina . I have been, well I don't know much about visions but I've been getting them more frequently ."

"Like what?"

"Well .. I've been having much about the school . and then ruby eyes," and that's all so far . There are some ancient writings sometimes but I can't keep the image to long to transcribe them." Everyone was silent for a while then Lina spoke up.

"Dose anyone have any idea now . who sent that doubleganger . it's been bugging me for a while," Zelgadis said.

"I-I think I know who did it ..." Slypheil said in a whisper, "It was a man. he looked like Mr. Xellos . but he was taller, and had glasses on and his hair was maroon. I can't recall if he told me his name . but he was the man who hired the doubleganger."

"Did you tell anyone else this, Slypheil?" asked Zelgadis.

"His name is Aaron," said a voice from the booth behind Lina. They all froze no one got up to look.

"Xellos," hissed Filia.

"Mr. Xellos how do you know?"

"Let's say we are . old acquaintances. But at the moment we are enemies, and I need to catch him."

"So you've come to tell us information about him so will go out and destroy him for you right Xellos?" said Lina smirking with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. Xellos chuckled.

"As observant as ever I see, Lina Inverse."

"But now that we know we won't help you, you nangomi!"

"That's not true . weather we want to help him or not we have to," said Lina.

"What, we don't need to help him we can go do this on are own," said Zelgadis.

"Yes we will. We need the information that he has. Be cause if we go in and look for it on are own we might just be falling into a trap. Trust me if there was another way then Xellos's way I'd do it but since we need to take the way that's has less risks factors for us I'll take it."

"But Miss Lina surely we don't need HIS help, we can do it on are own!" Filia whined. She distasted the idea of Xellos helping at the most.

"Well, I'm not really sue what you guys are talking about but . whatever Lina says is ok I'll go to that idea!" said Gourry smiling. Slypheil smiled a little bit too, but it was forced.

"Good, good so that means you'll agree to do it."

"Like we have another choice. So spill out the information, Xellos."

"If you insist. Fist like I said before the monster you're fighting name is Aaron. He is a halfling, in other words a half Mazoku half human. But that doesn't stop him from being very powerful. So far we don't know who his master is . or who created him. But we know his mission is to destroy this town. Do you remember the magical field that was put up a little while ago?" they nodded, "It was a field to his advantage. As soon as he out it up any negative energy that's come from anyone will be sucked up into that field and given to him in form of a magical enhancement. I think he's using it for another purpose, not for him."

"You mean he's using for something else?"

"Or someone else. From what I heard . Gourry's house is their camp site, and Rezo . well that's all we can say for now."

"What do you mean Gourry's house is there camp!?! For now!! Xellos?!?!?" Lina looked over the seat to see nothing.

"Damnit, What the hell is he up to?" cures Zelgadis.

"Gourry- dear dose that mean you and you grandparents are in trouble?"

"Grandma, Grandpa!" said Gourry shooting up out of his chair. "I gotta go see if there ok."

"Sit back down Gourry. If your house is a potential target they won't attack so soon," Lina said sliding back into the seat.

"But Miss Lina what are we going to do?" asked Amelia. Lina shrugged.

"For now we should just settle down," Replied Filia.

"And wait to see what happens. Everyone should keep track of what's happening in their houses, if anything unusual comes up phone someone,' said Zelgadis standing up and pulling his coat back on. "Come on Slypheil, Gourry I'll give you guys a ride home. See you all tomorrow at school."

"Bye!"

"Well I'll call a cab, Miss Lina you wanna ride?"

"Sure, you need a ride Filia?" Filia shook her head.

"No, that's ok I'll walk home . it's not that far."

After saying farewells Amelia and Lina climbed into the cab and disappeared around the corner. Filia pulled on her jacket and put her hood on. She walked onto the street. Since the time in the coffee shop the rain got worse. It was coming down hard and in buckets .

Filia walked down the street. Cars zoomed up and down the streets. All Filia could see was the blackness and the lights from the street lamps and on coming cars. Filia walked fast. for the water was hitting her legs that weren't covered by her skirt. She had her head bowed so when she ran into the person she didn't notices who it was.

"So Filia . did you finally get what the visions meant?" Filia froze in spot, not because of fear but because she couldn't move physically . something was holding her back. "Dear, Filia . you still haven't figured out have you. By the time you do it will be too late. You and your friends and this whole town will be gone . Even little Sarah ." Filia's whole body froze.

"Don't you touch my sister! What do you want . You're Aaron aren't you .?" The man chuckled.

"It seems that Xellos, did need your help . I can't wait, well till we see each other next," the voice faded then Filia stumbled then pivoted around quickly to see the bar street. Filia gulped. This seemed to be a bad start for only the begging of the enemy.

She walked until she reached the park near her apartment. She could see the light on and hear the TV blaring through the open window . Filia knew the second she came though the door her father would be on her case . maybe tonight would be better . to sleep out here. She walked up the park and crammed her self into the red tube. The hard plastic was uncomfortable put it was worth it. She pulled her jacket down over her knees and looked at the top of the tube. She felt a wet trickle on her hand.

A hole in the tube? No . her tears ... Filia smirked and used her sleeves to wipe them away. She tired to keep a smile but then she broke down she buried her head into her knees and fell asleep crying. The rain hit the red tube in the park as many wealthy people passed in there cars. On of them knowing that there . in the red tube of the park . was the worlds worries and hate .
