Cliff turned and left looking over to see Fayt tucked into the sheets snoring. He turned off the light and closed the door. Albel was right there staring at him, His Crimson eyes burning a hole into Cliff.
"What the hell do you think you were doing!?" he growled
"Hey, don't get so mad, I guess I just have the charm." Cliff laughed and started to walk away.
"The hell you do!"
Albel grabbed Cliff's arm pulling him back to face him. Cliff laughed again and patted Albel on the head.
"I hope your not falling for me too, I mean, wherever I go you're always following me around. Jeez, the men and the ladies have the hots for me. What am I going to do?"
"Don't pat my, head! I'm not your wench you stupid gorilla!" Albel yelled.
He pulled out his sword and had it aimed towards a surprised Cliff's throat. Maria suddenly came down the hall to break up the fight; she asked if she could speak to Cliff for a minute. Albel sneered and walked off.
"Cliff, you sand Fayt were hanging out yesterday, right?" she said
"Yeah, of course we were over by the floral area outside. What's wrong?"
Cliff had been totally clueless about all the hints Maria was shooting at Fayt over the past few days since she'd been with them.
"Well, ah...I was wondering if you could...you know. Give us some time." She said. It looked like she was about to blush, and then she put on a real serious face.
"I'd like to find out more about his powers. It's just I've never met someone just like me. I wanted to see if we could get to know each other. If we had anything in common it would probably help to speed along the information about the research Dr. Leingod was doing. I want to spend more time with Fayt." She said, still maintaining leadership qualities.
"Oooohhhhh, I get it. Mmmhmmm well, it was my hob to bring him to you and as a soldier under you, I guess I have no choice but too. Okay but, I had plans and this is taking a serious chunk out of em."
"I'm sorry Cliff, but it is imperative that I learn more." She said, "Thanks Cliff, I gotta go."
Maria turned and left. Cliff thought about how his plan was going to be ruined by his leader and how Albel was currently gaining the upper hand. Cliff walked up to the runeology library to see Albel leaning on the side of the wall, listening to their conversation.
"I guess your blue-haired fool of a leader has ruin your plans. You'll just have to sit this one out for a while."
Cliff stayed calm.
"I didn't think you were the kind of girl to eavesdrop Albel dear."
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I was just waiting for my chance to get back at you, but I see someone's beaten me to the punch. I may not have to kill her after all."
Albel walked into Fayt's room and closed the door; Cliff heard the lock click, and Albel laughing the whole time.
TBC
A/n: this story is going to have a whole lot of chapters. Hope you don't get bored. And EGADS! What on earth is Albel doing to Fayt with the door locked? Maria has just pushed Cliff out of the game. What will happen next? I'll update ASAP so you won't have to wait long....
