"speaking" 'thoughts' telepathic messages flashback (POV switch)

Chapter 2

(Sarah's POV)
The youthful blonde woman paced back and forth as though she were waiting for something with a worried look on her face. "Ooooh....I hope Master Luc is alright...I sure hope that Albert didn't just go and get Yuber to check on him. He might have attacked Master Luc!" With this in mind, she just paced faster. "That would be just like him! Sending that demon to spy on MY Master Luc!!!" She put a hand over her mouth quickly. "Oh dear...I hope no one heard that." When she thought of what she just said, her face flushed crimson. "I really shouldn't be so worried..."
"Honestly, you shouldn't be talking to yourself like that." The girl's already red face darkened. She turned to the door and saw Yuber, smirking in the doorway and Albert looking as though he was about to tell Yuber off. Yuber's smirk only grew when he saw the girl's humiliation. "Y'know, they say that talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. But, to tell you the truth, I thought you were insane ever since I met you." The demon was pushing her buttons, just begging for a response, preferably, a violent one.
"Yuber, leave her alone. She's worried." Albert sighed as he remembered that the only time Yuber listened was when he blackmailed him...which he had to do frequently. Albert turned to the girl. "Ignore him Sarah, he just doesn't comprehend what you're going through." Yuber seemed angry that Albert was ignoring him at the moment and began to sulk.
"Is Master Luc okay? Is everything alright? Is he sick? Will he be okay? Answer me!" Sarah screamed. Yuber and Albert both cringed. Sarah was usually quiet, but when she was loud...she was really loud.
"No, I brutally slaughtered him and dumped his bloody, mangled corpse in the lake." Yuber grinned maliciously as he lied through his teeth. "And I enjoyed it too." Albert looked like he was about to throw a rock at Yuber for his lack of tact and consideration. Sarah on the other hand, looked devestated.
"YOU KILLED HIM?!" She screeched. "YOU COLD, EMOTIONLESS BASTARD!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" She looked as though she was going to have a heart attack. Yuber stared in amazement, he didnt' think she'd take it seriously.
"Calm down Sarah! He was being sarcastic." Albert stated recovering from Sarah's ear-shattering outburst.
"I can't believe that you thought I was telling the truth..."
"Oh dear..." Sarah's face turned red from embarassment again. "I'm sorry, I'm just so worried. I'll let you finish." She sat down on her bed slowly.
"What is it with mages and emotional outbursts?" Yuber muttered under his breath. "They're always so unemotional. Do they spontaniously do this?" Albert ignored the comment as he went over to Sarah.
"Yuber spyed on Luc for you. Do you want to know what he found?" Albert inquired. Sarah nodded while keeping her face down. Albert proceeded to tell her what Yuber saw.

(Thomas' POV)

'Oh dear...' The young lord of the castle looked about nervously. 'I swore I heard Sarah screaming at the top of her lungs...I must be hearing things. Maybe all this stress is getting to me.' The boy shook his head and sighed. 'Now...what was I doing...?' "Oh no! Cecile was looking for me! I better find her fast." He began sprinting down the hall, almost knocking down a young man with a resemblence to Albert. He had a sleepy, laid-back look about him. The hair of the man he just bumped into red hair was messy and spiky in some places.

"Hey...Thomas, what's the rush? You almost sent me flying. Just like Nash when he started hitting on Chris and Borus saw him." the boy said with a sleepy smile that almost always seemed to be on his face.
"Sorry Caesar...I'm supposed to meet Cecile..." Thomas began, but before he could finish, the cheeky strategist cut him off.
"Oh, I see. You're going to meet the guard girl? I take it she's your girl friend?"
"N-no! She's just...a friend." Thomas sputtered while blushing deeply. At this, Caesar began chuckling.
"Whatever you say, loverboy. Don't let me keep you from seeing your one, true love." Thomas stared in amazement at how much Caeasar tuned him out.
"Did you hear a word I just said?"
"Huh?"
"...Nevermind, I guess that answers my question."
"Whatever...see you, I'm off to annoy the tin head knights." Caesar proclaimed with a cheerful smile.
"Um...bye?" Thomas said unsure as Caeasar ran after Borus yelling something that sounded suspiciously like "Yo, rust magnet! Did you leave that armor out in the rain, or just throw it in the lake for a week or so?" followed by an angry yell and laughter which was then followed by a series of crashes. "That can't be good..." Thomas said, sweatdropping. 'Oh well, it'll just have to wait until I see what Cecile wanted.' He then ran outside and met the blonde guard.
"Hello Lord Thomas!" Cecile greeted cheerfully. "Glad you could make it."
"I would have been here earlier, but I ran into Caesar...literally."
"No problem. I was just wondering..."
"Yeah?"
"Um...would you like to...go on a date with me?" Cecile looked at her feet.
"S-sure." Thomas stuttered, though Cecile didn't seem to notice. 'Why am I so nervous around her?' Thomas thought, as Caesar's words came back to haunt him.
"Great! We can go to the lake, and visit Iksay village, and do a bunch of other stuff! Let's meet at Mamie's Friday at 6:00pm!" Cecile squeled in delight, while jumping with joy.
"O-o-okay."

Chapter 2 is done and I made sure to make it longer, just for you guys. Okay, I'm working on Cecile/Thomas as you can see. I just HAD to put Caesar in. He's one of my favorite characters. I think some of the characters may be OOC, but I'm not sure. Sorry, but I just had to think of a way to include Borus and Nash. Even if it had to do with Nash sent flying because he was flirting and Borus being annoyed by my favorite strategist. ; Please don't hurt me Borus or Nash lovers. Dammit...you say Chris/Borus or Chris/Nash...personally, I'm a Chris/Hugo fan. Oh well, you're the fan and you shall get what you want! I may even make a love triangle...I'm so evil. Well, R&R and suggest more couples! Pretty please?
