Chapter 7- Moving Right Along
For Leena the ride from inside the Chariot was very dull. The windows that let her look outside were placed high so she would have to stand to see anything but gray sky. All the books they had Leena had read at least three times. Normally she would have taken a chair to the roof and enjoyed the trip from there, but Liger was sitting on the bottom step and wasn't letting anyone near the stairs. Leon often got sick when they traveled, so he had shut himself in his room and refused to come out. With no other option Leena walked over to Liger and kneeled down in front of him so she was at his eye level.
"Liger, I don't know if you can understand me, I know you and Bit understand each other. Anyway, listen I know Bit is going through a hard time right now, he needs all the help he can get and I think I might be able to help him. Please, I don't want to see him sad any more than you do, please let me try to help him." Liger tilted his head to one side and after a moment he moved just enough for Leena to get by. "Thank you." Leena smiled as she walked up the stairs and opened the hatch.
"I thought you would have come up sooner." Leena started when she heard Bit's voice. She was expecting to find him bent over his locket. She did not expect to see him doing handstands.
"What are you doing?" Leena asked as she closed the hatch.
"Well I can't stay strong if I don't workout, so I thought I would." Bit lowered his legs and started to stand.
"I thought you would be grieving for your family." As Bit straightened Leena saw sadness cross his face, but it was gone as fast as it had appeared replaced by a bright smile, only his eyes showed the depth of his sadness.
"I was for a while, but the day got so beautiful that I couldn't keep it up for long." Leena looked around and found that the day had become beautiful indeed. The sun was out, there were hardly any clouds left, the forest on either side of the Chariot seemed to sparkle from the previous rain and the sun. She turned back to see Bit was doing another handstand, this time with only one hand, then to her amazement it went from a one handed handstand to a one fingered handstand. (Like in Yu Yu Hakusho) For a moment she watched in awe, then the moment was ruined.
"Leena, darling." Called the most annoying voice in existence. His concentration broken, Bit wobbled and fell hard on the flat of his back. Leena saw that Bit was alright before looking over the side of the Chariot to find Harry sitting on top of what had to be the fattest horse Leena had ever seen, it was also the same sickening yellow that its rider wore.
"What do you want Harry?" Bit asked as he sat up rubbing his head.
"I want to whisk Leena away from you, you circus freak." Bit frowned at this.
"Hey, I like the circus." Leena said. Bit smiled at her.
"Yes... well, I bet he learned that trick from them." Harry smiled wickedly. "I bet those people were the only ones his parents could find to take him to take him away from them." Bit's eyes were suddenly cold as he stood up and looked down at Harry.
"You have NO right to talk about my parents. Especially not today." A strange wind came out of nowhere and swirled around Bit, Leena backed away a little.
"Harry." She warned, but he didn't listen.
"What happened?" He smirked, knowing that he was making Bit angry, but he shouldn't have said anything. "Did they die?"
"Yes." Bit raised his hand and pointed at Harry, and Bit's eyes turned blue. An incredibly strong wind came out of nowhere and shot towards Harry, it whirled around him lifting him off the horse. Bit beckoned with his hand and no matter how much Harry struggled the whirlwind that he was in rose in the air and came towards Bit. It stopped just in front of Bit and with his voice as hard and cold as ice he addressed Harry. "If you ever want to touch ground again with your life intact you will NEVER speak ill of my parents again." A look of abject fear was evident on Harry's face. "Do I make my self clear?" Harry nodded vigorously. "Good."
Bit made a dismissive motion of his hand and the whirlwind ceased to be. It was replaced by a tremendous gust of wind that hurled Harry against a tree where he was pinned for a moment before the wind died and he slumped to the ground.
It was at this point that Brad came riding up, apparently looking for Harry.
"Take him away and make sure I don't see him for a while, I don't know what I might do to him if I see him to soon." Bit sat down heavily as Brad carried the unconscious Harry away and led his horse away as well. Bit looked around at the princess. "I'm sorry Leena that you had to see that, but I..." Leena interrupted him.
"Bit your eyes are blue."
"Yea, you heard the conversation I had with your father about that."
"Yes I did, but this is different. Your eyes are solid blue." And they were, from edge to edge Bit's eyes were a solid ice blue, where the normal color should have been were pools of dark blue.
"What? They should have changed back by now." Just then a ghostly roar could be heard in the distance, coming from slightly to the right of the path up ahead of them
"What was that?" Leena asked, for a moment forgetting Bit's eyes.
"I don't know, but I get the feeling it's calling for me." Bit picked up his bag and lifted the hatch, Liger leaped out of. "And I'm going to find out why."
"Then I'm coming with you." Leena said firmly. Bit didn't argue, he jumped off the roof and waited down below with his arms outstretched. Leena jumped and he caught her. Liger jumped and together they headed off into the woods to find where the roar had come from.
