Chapter 4
Filia crawled on her knees to a sitting position and breathed heavily. She looked up not knowing what to make of her surroundings. The whole place was outside, that was for sure. There was a large wind chill that drug in enormous black clouds. Filia turned to see someone or something she couldn't make out holding a screaming Valgaav. She stood up as quickly as she could trying to steady herself against the wind. Then she rushed over towards the boy.
"Let him go!" she screamed then saw Lina and the others scattered on the ground. She ran over to Amelia and helped the younger girl to sit up.
"Miss. Filia, your okay." The dark haired girl said smiling through her tears.
"Amelia. What's going on?" Filia cried
"It was just to powerful for us," she said looking up at Filia "we tried our best to get Valgaav back but it was just too hard."
"Who took Valgaav!" Filia said tears forming in her eyes because of Amelia's condition.
"He just came to quick.." Amelia stopped in mid-sentence to cough. "I'm so sorry Filia."
"Hang on Amelia," Filia said "I'll heal you."
"No, go help Miss. Lina, she's stronger then me" Amelia said pointing at Lina
Filia nodded. "Don't worry Amelia, I'll be back as soon as I help Lina."
Amelia nodded as Filia rested her back down on the ground. She quickly stood up and started to run over to Lina. It was difficult though because for some reason Filia had to limp. Every time she applied pressure on her right leg a shot of white pain went through her and she wanted to cry out. She stopped for a minute suddenly feeling something wet on the back of her neck. She lifted her hand and placed it on the back of her neck feeling the liquid.
"That's weird." She said then pulled her hand back so she could see what it was that was on the back of her neck. Her eyes opened wide as she saw her hand covered in blood. What was going on. She looked up just in time to see a blast of energy come flying towards her. She closed her eyes and shielded them with her hands, screaming.
(((()))))
Filia sat up straight gasping for air. She looked around to find herself downstairs in her personal library. She must have fallen asleep while reading. She rested her hands back on the desk. Then glanced at the book she had been researching in. Suddenly she sensed something, she almost jumped when she felt two hands rest on her shoulders.
"Relax Filia." a voice said as the hands started to massage her neck.
"Get your hands off of me Xellos." Filia shouted pulling away.
"A little edgy today aren't we Fi-chan." He replied
"Shut up Namagomi."
"You know I still don't know what I did to deserve that name." He said leaning back in mid air as if in thought.
"You should!" Filia said taking her reading glasses off.
"I suppose you expected me to visit." He grinned at her playfully
"In your dreams." She exclaimed shutting the book with force so it made a large sound.
"What are you doing down here anyway?" he asked
"What does it look like you idiot." She said
"I thought Dragons needed there beauty sleep," he grinned "this is probably why your not beautiful." Filia glared at the monster reaching for her mace as he laughed at his own joke.
"I can't believe Lina talked me into letting a filthy, discussing monster like you into my home." She said
Xellos just grinned like an idiot at her then he spoke. "seriously though what are you doing?"
"I was trying to dig up some information on a scroll that Zelgadis found under the floor boards." She replied
"Oh, you mean this thing?" Xellos said holding the scroll so it just dangled infront of her nose.
"Where did you get that!" Filia cried jumping up and down trying to grab it.
"Someone left it lying around on the table. You know what they say. Finders keepers" he said disappearing.
"Xellos, get back here and give me that scroll!" she screamed stomping her foot
"I will, when I'm done with it." His voice came from out of nowhere.
Filia stood in the room extremely pissed off. She was almost ready to kill someone. Even if Xellos did give it back it wouldn't be for a while she decided.
"I might as well get some rest," She said in defeat "I'll just have to kick his ass in the morning. If he shows up that is."
((((()))))
Xellos grinned at himself as he materialized on the roof of Filia's cottage. This was wonderful, he hadn't had this much fun in such a long time. He hadn't been able to bug Filia because he had been so busy. Xellos sat down and looked up at the moon, that was almost in the middle of the sky. Filia was going to be really anger at him in the morning that was for sure. Lina on the other hand, he didn't know how she would react if Filia told her that he had stolen the scroll.
"Come to think of it." He reached into his brown bag and pulled out the scroll. "I wonder why Filia was so obsessive of this thing."
He unrolled the scroll and read it over quickly. He opened his eyes slightly as he read the last line. This was odd, it was some sort of prophecy. He sat there for a couple of minutes to think about it. He had never heard of this before, he didn't think it even existed. He lifted his hand and pinched his arm. No this was definitely something he agreed. The memory shot through his mind. Zelas had sent him to find a prophecy maybe this is what she meant after all. He grinned and disappeared again this time teleporting to Wolf Pack Island.
((((())))))
Zelas sipped lazily at her wine as she looked up at the large roof. Maybe she had been a little to hard on Xellos, after all he was just doing what any normal Monster in his position would want to do. Gain more power, but it was rather frightening to see her own son soaked in blood. She was proud that he was able to over come any obstacle that he faced, and the fact that he listened to every word that she said without a second thought. Xellos though was somewhat.
"Mistress Zelas."
.annoying.
She looked over at the door to see Xellos bowing.
"What are you doing Xellos?" she asked "I thought I sent you to find a Prophecy?!"
"You did." He said respectfully
"Then what the heck are you doing here?" she asked
"I found something that I think you should take a look at." He said
"And that would be?" she asked
"I found a scroll that Filia was looking at. It seems to be a prophecy." He replied
Zelas groaned. Was there no mission that he couldn't fulfill to give her time to think.
"Very well," she said " you can stand up, bring it to me."
Xellos stood up and walked towards Zelas. He placed the scroll in her waiting hands. "Lets see what we have." She said then read it out loud.
"There will come a controller of the world's destiny.
When two beings are to join.
A power possessed beyond anything seen.
And if they should fail.
The darkness will surround the light in pain.
Black as blood,
Streaming down the window
Screaming in a agony
Beyond the pure terror of death.
A love that will break all barriers
Of what was once known
And a single star will shine
And die out."
"What do you think?" asked a very curious Xellos
Zelas just sat there blank. Xellos looked at her, her eyes seemed distant almost like she had seen a ghost.
"Xellos," she turned towards him almost frightened "Did you read this before me?" she asked
Xellos nodded
"What have we done.."
Lina-Kun: Hiyo I thought I should start to figure this story out and it came to me after reading another story. I have so many Fan Fic's and so little time now that I have so many essay's due and my magazine was suppose to go out today but my writer left to go to Toronto. So yeah I thought I should update this one because more people like it then any other of my stories. I apologize if some of it does not make sense yet, but in time everything will come together. I would also like to say that I love detail but I can't seem to write as much as most people like because.I prefer dialogue over everything. Anyways Read and Review otherwise I could get discouraged.lol bai
