Chapter Two! Beware I am making chapters where ever I feel like it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The forest faded into view. I was the first to collapse. Mana following suit. I sighed and looked at the leaves under me. I just wanted Nami to be safe. Mana looked around and gasped. I looked at her and she pointed over me to my left. I rose and eyebrow and followed her finger. There in-between two trees someone was on the ground. I noticed the blood pooling around his arm and gasped.
Hurrying to my feet I ran over. He was unconscious. I rolled him onto his back. Mana kneeled on the other side of him. He had a deep puncture/cut on his left arm. I tore off a piece of my shirt sleeve and tied it around the wound. "We need to get him.. somewhere" Mana just looked at me. "We cant leave him here for dead."
"Well we could, but we wont" I nodded. "How?" I stared down at the guy.
"You got me there" I thought for a while. I drew a blank. I sighed heavily. "Well we can't just leave him!" Mana shifted positions.
"We could carry him.." She suggested. It was really our only option. I heard a noise and panicked.
"Lets move!" Wrapping my arms underneath his I lifted his upper body. Mana grabbed his feet and we skittered off to find some sort of hiding place.
We found a small gave in the cliffs to the south of the village. It was big enough for the three of us, just not for life. Mana and I sat at the mouth of the small cave thing, just enjoying the day, or trying to. My mind was still on Nami, and hers was on the house. I drew small circles in the dirt. The circles combined to form a bunny form. I growled and swiped at the picture, demolishing it. Mana looked over at me.
"I'm sure she's alright" I sighed and nodded.
"But I still worry..." I looked up at the sky. Small puffs of clouds floated above us and the cool breeze pulled them along.
-
I heard voices and opened my eyes a little. I saw a cave roof. I looked from side to side and found two people sitting with their backs to me. One had short brown hair, the other long dark brown hair. I tried to sit up, but my whole body protested. A groan escaped my lips and I tried to stay still. One girl turned to face me and smiled.
"Don't move, your badly hurt" The thing that scared me about her was her crimson eyes. Getting up she dusted off her green pants and walked over. "how do you feel?" She asked kneeling beside me.
"Fine." I said quietly. She snorted and lightly poked me. I hissed in pain.
"Yeah, sure you are." She grinned at me. I just glared.
"Who are you?" She laughed and stood up.
"I am Eva, this is Mana" She pointed back to the girl who was just now standing. "We lived in the town, though we rarely roamed around or anything." I stared at her for a short while.
"Your red eyes..." I started to say.
"Them? yeah never figured them out..." I inwardly smiled. I bet she could use demon magic if she wanted to. "So who are you?" She asked.
"Sereg, I am just surprised I am not dead..." I said trying again to sit up. Mana came over and helped me get my back to a wall.
"We are too" Eva said and walked back outside.
-
Nami sat in the middle of the deserted town. The demons had all left. The cat like creature transformed back into the little bunny it originally was and hopped off towards the forest.
-
I walked up to a pine tree. It was tall, probably one of the most tall trees in the surrounding area. Running my hand along the trunk I placed my other hand on the other side of the trunk and quickly scaled the tree. I launched off a high branch and landed on the top of the tree. I crouched down and smiled. The breeze tossed my hair behind me and caressed my skin. A small sound alerted me. It sounded a lot like a scream. I cocked my head to the side and jumped off the top.
I hit the ground softly and looked around. Nothing was around. Warily I walked back to the cave. I heard voices. "Well if you hadn't tried to MOVE" I recognized Mana's voice.
"I Don't want to stay here just laying on the dirt" I laughed and ran into the cave.
"Well your hurt, what do you suspect your SUPPOSED TO DO???" I came in to se her launch herself at Sereg, hands gripping his neck.
"MANA!" I called. She looked at me and let go. "Sereg, your going to have to at least not move that arm, and Mana, don't kill him." I chuckled. "Now who screamed?" I asked. Mana smiled and pointed at Sereg. He snapped at her finger.
Mana huffed and excused herself. I walked over to Sereg. "Thanks for stopping her.." I laughed.
"Don't thank me just yet, cuse what I am about to do, is going to hurt." His eyes slightly widened.
"Why?" He asked.
"I am going to properly dress that wound now that your awake." Moving to his left side I sat down. He inched away from me. "Sorry, but you don't want it infected." Grabbing the end of his tunic I pulled it off.
"Ow!" He yelped as the tunic sleeve partly stuck to the wound. I untied what I had tied earlier around his arm. I examined the wound. It was deep, partly puncture, partly cut. It looked a lot like someone stabbed him with a spear then later slashed in the same area. I whistled and poked it. Sereg yelped. I apologized and excused myself to go get some water.
I took his shirt and submerged it in the near by stream. The water was cool and I drank some of the water. Though I quickly went back to tend to Serge's wound. I cleaned it off and used one of his sleeves to bandage it.
"Why my shirt?" He asked.
"I cant go around with out a shirt..." I growled at him.
"Well yeah.. but" I took a piece of the cloth and shoved it in his mouth.
"You can buy another one... I want to keep from being known as the-girl-who-walks-around-half-naked." He spit out the cloth and glared at me.
When Mana came back Sereg was asleep, thanks to me hitting him over the head. She saw him shirtless and drooled. I laughed. It was late now and we out in search for food. The forest was full of small night creatures. My favorite to catch was snakes and bunnies.
A snake laid in my path. It looked at me and flicked its tongue at me. I grabbed a hold of a near by tree and planting my feet on it, shoved off. I flipped over and landed behind it. Quickly I stepped forward and put my foot right behind the head, breaking the neck. I picked up the dead snake and went to meet Mana back at the cave.
Mana hated killing bunnies she found. She always made me do that. And sure enough when I entered the dark cave I was presented with a bunny. I was about to kill it when I recognized it. "NAMI!!!" I yelped and hugged the bunny. Mana laughed. My eyes adjusted and I saw she had another bunny sitting in her lap.
"I found Nami on my search, I told you she would be ok." I nodded.
"Thank you!!!" I squealed.
We found some wood and created a little fire. We bar-b-qed the snake and rabbit. I could tell Nami was a little upset by this. I didn't really care, I was hungry, I never got to eat that soup before the demons attacked. Everything smelled wonderful and had me practically drooling. Sereg was still knocked out and so Mana and I sat around the small fire and ate our catches.
The night was cool, the breeze fresh, and the night sky was gorgeous. If I could freeze time I would have right then. The fire was dancing with colors and the night breeze kept you from getting too hot. The trees rustled and a wolf somewhere howled. Leaning up against the wall I closed my eyes.
-
When I woke up the night was still. I looked to the mouth of the cave. Small embers still burned where I am guessing a fire was. Eva was leaning up against the left wall, snoring softly. Mana was curled up on the ground with a small white bunny in her arms. The small bunny stirred and looked at me. That thing ringed a bell. Squirming out of the girls arms it hopped over to me. It nuzzled my arm. I rose an eyebrow and propped myself up on my right elbow.
A wolf howled in the night. I instinctively reached for my sword... just to find it not there. I blinked in confusion and searched the small cave. I found it on the farthest point away from me. I made a mental note to slaughter the person who put it so far away from me. The bunny looked up at me and then hopped over to the sword.
It touched it with its nose and a blue glow surrounded the sword. Part of me panicked, the other was awed. The sword levitated and as the bunny hopped forward, the sword floated in front of it until it was laid down in front of me. I blinked and touched the sword. The bunny then hopped back to Mana and squirming back into her arms, fell asleep. I just stared for a while.
Sitting up fully I ran a finger along the sword blade. I had gotten stabbed trying to protect my family. I failed, and in a way I wish I had been killed to. A cool breeze blew into the cave. Shifting my position I used my sword to help myself stand. Part of me wondered what was hurt other than my arm. Securing the sword to my belt I leaned on the wall for a second.
Slowly, using the wall, I made my way out of the cave and into the cool night. I took in a deep breath, filling my lungs with the fresh air. "Take care of yourself." Someone said. I turned to see Eva looking at me.
"I will." I said nodding. She smiled before stretching out more and falling back asleep. I turned around just in time to see crimson smoke surrounded me.
"I'm afraid you won't be taking care of yourself..." A voice purred. It chilled me to the bone. The smoke constricted and everything went black.
