"What do you mean they followed you??" Demanded Duo as Jack cowered, taking a few steps back.
"Exactly what I said! I..put a curse on them and now they're stuck to me! Like glue!!" Sputtered Jack, backing against the wall to avoid Duo's anger. Lynn and Mogura stepped in his path.
"Hey! We don't wanna be here either! Don't get all pissy with the boy!" Argued Mogura angrily. "Just chill ok, if there was anything we could do we'd be gone by now!!"
Duo opened his mouth to continue the argument when a burst of flame appeared between him and the demons. Everyone grew quiet as the flame disappeared and a bag fell onto the floor with a loud thump.
Hilde peeked from behind Duo at the bag and nudged him towards it. "I think its from Deigo.." She whispered softly.
Duo picked up the bag and unwrapped the vizeal from around it slowly. He pulled out the dragons horn and quickly read the note. He sighed, putting the horn in another bag with the other items. All eyes were on him as he looked up and met Jacks eyes. "He's getting treasure." Duo muttered, throwing the note on the ground. Everyone let out the breath they were holding and Jack shook his head.
"Doesn't he know were in a hurry?" Jack growled. "He shouldn't scare us like that.."
"We should still see if he's ok." Stated Duo, as he picked up the Vizeal and placed it around his neck. He placed it to his lips, muttering 'April'. A few seconds later, April's sillouette appeared. It crossed its arms.
"What Duo?" It asked, a tinge of anger evident. "What is it now?"
"Did you get the tears?" Duo asked tentatively, wondering if it was a good idea to have called her.
The sillouette sighed. "Of course I did, I was coming back. Now what did you want?"
Duo coughed nervously. "It's Deigo. He said he had decided to go off and have a treasure hunt. Considering we have very little time left and that there's a dragon involved , I'd like you to look into it and have him come back soon. That is all." He explained, taking the vizeal off and watching the silloutte dissapear. Duo heard a small worried sigh and turned to Hilde. "What is it?" He asked quietly, wrapping a comforting arm around her.
"Do you think he's ok?" She asked quietly, leaning into his embrace and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Of course he is, he's a professional. Don't worry about him." He whispered in her ear, kissing it softly. Hilde smiled and hugged him around the waist.
'I hope so..' she thought to herself. An hour went by in silence, with Jack staring fearfully at the demons while they held Duo in a death glare match. Hilde sighed, hugging her knees close to her chest. 'Why isn't April back yet?' she wondered.
As if an answer to her question, a burst of flame appeared in the middle of the room, making the demons blink, Duo jump, Hilde scream, and Jack choke on his tea. April stepped through it, a grave look on her face.
"God they could put a warning on those things!!!" Yelled Jack, trying to take his shirt off to avoid the scalding tea burning into his skin.
"You should have been paying better attention!" Said Lynn throwing a glare back at Jack.
"Shutup!!!!" Yelled April, making the room go silent.
"Did..you find him?" questioned Duo, looking at April worriedly.
April's eyes looked at the ground. "I'm afraid I did.." she whispered. "and this is all that was left of him." She pulled a tattered jacket and a half melted sword from a bag at her side.
"Oh my god.." whispered Hilde softly. "What will we do now?"
