~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raye turned around away from the window and a shadowy figure lie inactive on the floor of what appeared to be a living room area.
"OH MY GOD…SERENA…LOOK!!" Raye's eyes began to burn with tears as she cried out, but she managed to keep them back.
Serena turned around and saw what was lying on the floor it was Setsuna's body, and she was lying in her own puddle of blood.
Serena and Raye both ran over there while calling the other girls.
Serena sat down and carefully lifted Setsuna's body onto her legs. By now the 3 girls were already there and they were all crying as well as Raye. But still Serena shed no tears.
'Her body heat is already fading away…oh Setsuna, why you. Why do they kill all of who I love, everyone I have left.' Serena worried to herself
"Setsuna…Setsuna, you can't die, not from a knife wound, you're a strong girl. You can see the future, you should have seen this! Why?" Mina questioned her as the tears streamed down Mina's face.
Amy got down and began to try and fix up her wounds. Blood was flooding the floor, Amy was able to aply pressure and give Setsuna a couple more minutes to live. Setsuna had internal bleeding and it couldn't be stopped,, Amy tried everything within her power to heal her, but unfortunately she wasn't able to, Setsuna was going to die.
"No you…can't die, Mina's right, why didn't you see this?" Amy asked with tears blurring her vision.
"I have seen all of this, and I must do what I must. If not for me then, y-you all would have been dead. Don't ask how, but if I lived then you would have died. All of y-you. My time has come, please don't feel guilty, there's nothing you could have done to stop this. Sacrifices must be made, and I chose you all over my life. Avenge my death and save Hotaru. They took her…telling me to tell you that they want Serena dead. If you succeed in rescuing my daughter, take her to Midgar, I know Serena that you didn't kill everyone, and I know that it will be hard going back and some may not welcome you, but please, Hotaru's Father lives there. With him she can reside. I love you all and tell that to my husband and daughter. I'll always be watching you." Setsuna's last breath arrived and with all the strength she had left she squeezed Serena's hand and smiled, then death took her over.
*BANG*
Lita slammed her fist into the wall, creating a rather large hole in the wall.
'Setsuna…I swear on my life I'll avenge your death….even…even if it kills me!' Lita promised herself as tears flowed down her cheeks.
Serena slowly stood up and carefully laid Setsuna on the cold floor and then covered her with a sheet that she took off of the couch in the room they were all in. She got up and as she passed by the girls she said
"Crying will not bring her back, she did what she was destined to do, except your role that fate has in store for you. We can't stay here, we have to find Hotaru. Mourn for her later, now's not the time." Serena said emotionlessly
'I've grown so…cold…when it comes to death. I know I swore never to cry, but this…I've become so cold.' Serena thoughts intruded her, distracting her from crying.
"Serena, how…how can you be so cold, You've known Setsuna longer then al of us, since you wore born. She's dead Serena." Amy questioned her
'Why did I say that, I probably made Serena feel worse. Dammitt.' Amy then realized to herself
"Amy, when your soul mate, brother and mother all die before within the same hour, not to mention your home town as well, then…then you can ask me why I'm so cold." Serena again said emotionlessly
'Shit…why'd I have to say that! She doesn't know what I've been through, of course she would ask a question like that! Damn you Serena!' Serena scolded herself for what she just said to one of her best friends and a member of her only remaining family.
"Serena, I'm…I'm so sorry, I-I don't know how you feel but I. I'm here for you, we all are, I'm sorry I said that!" Amy pleaded
"Amy, don't worry about it, it's my fault, I shouldn't let my own selfish thoughts interlude with this whole situation. I'm the one who should be apologizing. Not you. The last thing I want is to lose one of my best friends…right?" Serena smiled before walking out of Setsuna's house.
The only thing that drives Serena to live is vengeance, she swears to avenge the lost lives of her loved ones. When everyone you hold dear dies the only thing left in your soul is…hate, it creates an icy layer over your heart to never let anyone in ever again. Hate and vengeance are the only things that she holds close, at least it's something to hold on to as Serena would say. Sure she still has her friends but she herself believes their lives will be better without her around. So what ever chance she has to kill a member of The Engravers she'll charge without thinking, not caring how or when she will die, just as long as she will die so she can be with her family and husband. But then again she'll miss her friends, so she decided that she just doesn't care anymore, whether she dies or not is all left up to fate.
Serena closes off that icy side to her friends, she tries to act herself and covers her sadness with her cheerful personality, her optimism, the thing she came so close to losing 4 years ago. Still she can fool anyone with her innocent eyes, and her cheerfulness.
Fortunately for her, her friends are able to understand what she longs for, death of The Engravers of course, but they're all afraid to get closer to finding this group of murders because deep inside they all know that she's gonna die if she faces them too soon. And none of her friends want that, they want to find a way for her to live and a way for The Engravers to die without further harming Serena's whole world, which include her friends.
Setsuna was killed and died in Serena's arm. She's beginning to get use to the idea of people dying in her arms, and telling her that they love and not to go mad. It's too late for that, the thing which is most people's biggest fear, especially Serena, has made Serena emotionless. And that is Death, most people fear it and yet Serena grows closer to it every day. Now don't think that she's suicidal, she's not, it's just that she could care less if she died or not. It's as simple as that…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 HOURS LATER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know…how about we ask everyone in town, and see if they know where they took Hotaru." Mina purposed.
Setsuna was buried in the grave yard right outside of town, everyone had come and paid their respects. The 5 girls now sat in Molly's bar, thinking of where they could have taken Hotaru. Who ever they were was still somewhat of a mystery. Serena on the other hand, highly accused The Engravers of this whole situation, but did not share with the others.
"You know Mina, that's a great idea, why don't you start and while you do that, we'll stay here and keep thinking of where Hotaru could be." Raye replied in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Okay!" Mina cheerfully said
She then stood up and started to head for the door, but to her surprise she was stopped by Amy pulling on her to sit back down.
'Mina, poor girl, is soo clueless sometimes….I yi yi…what am I gonna do' Amy pondered to herself
"Mina…Raye was just kidding, she didn't mean it. Who would know? It was rather dark out 4 hours ago. No one could have seen them if they were all still in bed. Right?" Amy questioned the innocent girl.
"Oh…&giggles….yeah right *giggles…I so totally knew that!!" Mina sat down with her face as red as a tomato, she was blushing an awful lot.
Molly, on the other hand, was to depressed about the current status of the day. So she simply decided to play no role in helping out in fear of her starting to cry again. She cleaned the bar and served her customers paying no attention to the 5 girls and their conversation that they were all engaged in!
'That's what I forgot!!!…I knew I forgot something…' Serena finally remembered
"I'll be right back, I forgot something in my hotel room. Order me something to eat, I'm starving." Serena said this as she ran out the door and towards the hotel.
'What? We just ate…like 3 or 4 hours ago.' Lita thought
"But we just had breakfast like 3 or 4 hours ago. I swear that girl has a bottomless pit for a stomach. She's never full and is always hungry." Raye thought aloud.
"I was thinking the same thing…" Lita uttered
All 4 girls laughed as they thought about Serena and her past experiences with food.
"Well we mine as well order a LOT of food, right girls?" Mina questioned.
"Right!" The 3 girls said in unison.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERENA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Making her way towards her room, she slyly passed by the inn keeper. She tried to avoid him, because if she wanted to get into her room she'd have to ay a night's worth of a fee, so she decided to pick the lock instead.
'Finally…now where is it?' Serena asked herself
She looked everywhere for her item that she had forgotten. She looked in the desk, the bathroom, under the dresser and in it and still she did not find it.
'Where is my red ribbon? I have to find it!' She again asked herself but this time a little worried.
She placed her eyes on the bed only to find a white card.
'Huh? What's that card doing with my name on it?'
Serena walked over to the bed with her handgun in her left hand, just incase.
She picked the card up and on the front it said 'Satin's Sinner', she then opened it and it read:
Sinner,
Hotaru was taken to Gainsborough, it's next to Midgar and is North from this town. The Engravers hired a gang of bandits to watch over her, she's safe but you are wanted there. They will offer her freedom for your life. Please be careful.
Sincerely,
Who it was from is a mystery, the name was left blank. She placed the card down and realized that there was a fresh red rose on her bed. She picked it up, and smelt it.
'I love roses, their so beautiful. I remember Darien telling me that they meant Courage and Determination. And that's what I have and need to carry out my promise to them all.' Serena remembered
She opened the window in the small room and then let the rose fall to the ground. She then ran out the door and towards the bar to tell the girls about the note and where Hotaru might be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GIRLS AT THE BAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Where the hell is Serena, we ordered all this damn food, and now there's not much left.' Considered Raye.
The girls had ordered a lot of food just as planned. But Serena had been gone for around a half an hour. A majority of the group of girls thought she took forever trying to get into her room, sure she can pick a lock. The only girl who can pick a lock besides Amy. But Serena…well she just took forever to do it.
"Well…I'm *burp* full…*giggles* oops…how 'bout ya'll?" Questioned Mina
The girls decided to just chow down on the food till Serena got back because it would be a waste to just leave it there. And a waste of money and they didn't have very much with them. Of course a whole closet in their cave/home was filled with money but they only took a certain amount at a time. Amy's idea, by the way.
"I say we just lea--" Raye was cut off.
"Leave Serena here? What are you thinking she's our leader, our most respected, most beautiful, most elegant, most smartest, most a lotta things and you just wanna leave her here? How dare you Raye…" Serena scolded her comrade.
'And speaking of the 'Devil'…*giggles* devil get it…whatever, I need to stop talking to myself…'Raye Reckoned
"Nah…I'm just kid'n ya'll chill, I found out where they took Hotaru!" Serena said with a huge smile plastered to her face.
"WHAT WHERE…WE LEAVE NOW…" Amy already decided.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13 MINUTES LATER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't you think that's a little scary…I mean this person could be stocking you, let alone all of us since we're always together." Lita explained
'And how did I know they would expect the worse of this situation? I hate it when I'm right' Serena believed
"No…uh…Lita, come on, at least we know or have a clue to where Hotaru could be, that's all we need to focus on right now…is it not?" Questioned Amy
"Thanks Amy, she's right we leave for Gainsborough now! Got it? Good!" Declared a very serious Serena
All the girls, once again, said there good byes to Molly and within 5 minutes they were headed home.
"Why didn't we just bring our horses with us that way we wouldn't have to go ALL the way home, just to get them?" Raye tried to argue
'And what do ya know, Raye just has this hunger for fighting, doesn't she? Awwell at least she's strong and can tear up a few people, we need her for that. And she's also a best friend to all of us." Lita reasoned with herself
"They needed the rest, they live and breathe just like us and if they work to hard we'll be left with out our dear horses that we all LOVE so much." Amy answered with puppy dog eyes trying to end the little quarrel.
"Whatever!" Raye gave in and decided to be quite.
All 5 girls had a 2 or 3 hour walk ahead of them once again. The planned to get home, freshen up, gather weapons, ready their horses and then they ride North West, since they had to travel East to get home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DARIEN AND ANDREW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Gainsborough, so be it we'll head there and await her presence, then…then we capture her!' Darien evilly thought to himself
"Okay, you hear that Darien, we have to head for Gainsborough, they're all heading home so that gives us a head start." Andrew happily cheered to him comrade.
"I say we stock up on bullets and let our horses rest for a few minutes." Darien declared
"Oh yeah right *laughs* don't forget water too, remember what happened when we ran out of water!" Andrew chuckled as he mentioned this, remembering how they were so dehydrated.
"True, well lets get started right away!" Darien said laughing as the thought of him and Andrew arguing over water crossed his mind.
Darien and Andrew were still in Miltia, they hid out of the sight from the Radical Dreamers so there wouldn't be any trouble. But they still eavesdropped on their conversation to figure out where they were heading next.
"To Gainsborough!" Andrew shouted
"Ah…Andrew, didn't I say never do that again, you sound like some…freak who likes to yell, and disturb people." Darien said while looking at the towns people and waving them a 'sorry for my partner's behavior' type wave.
"Oh *giggles* right, sorry man!" Andrew muttered while doing the same thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that's all, I can't believe I start school *quietly sobs* high school, damn school work, they load you with it so you can't do other things like swim, hang out with friends and most importantly write stories such as this one! Am I wrong? Well sorry if the next chapter will take a while, blame school not me! Alright?
Well that's all for now folks, until next time
