Chapter 7
A Challenge
"Are we there yet?" asked Cia for about the hundredth time
"No" answered Brae
10 seconds later
"Are we there yet"
"No. It's the same as it was 10 seconds ago"
"Yeah but that was 10 seconds ago we could have been somewhere in that time"
"Well not this time"
"Can we have lunch yet?"
"Will you shut up I'll tell you when we are stopping to have lunch" said Brae who was very annoyed.
"Fine be like that" muttered Cia as everyone around them sighed with relief
"Do my ears deceive me is the Queen of Chatterbox actually shutting up?" said Rex sarcastically
"If you don't quit rubbing it in my face I may have just found my new friend that I can annoy" said Cia as she winked at Brae
"NNNOOOOOOO. Anything but that" begged Rex
"Hahahahahahaha, you know that you're really pathetic"
"Hey that's not funny"
"What you gonna do about it. Bring it on," said Cia as she started to get ahead of everyone with Rex close on her tail
"You got yourself a challenge"
"Race you to that clearing over there" pointed out Cia
"You're on" finished Rex as he started to gallop
Suddenly Cia comes up behind him very fast and when she passes him she says, "Eat my dust Bro."
"You eat mine" replied Rex. Soon they were neck and neck in the race and at the same time leaving Brae, Lee, Ryan and Lan behind.
"HEY wait," yelled Kel "Do they always run off like that"
"Oh don't worry about it, yep when ever they get the chance they always try to challenge each other" replied Brae
"They are competitive then?" asked Kel
"Very, there never goes a day in their lives or ours since we've known them where they can not challenge each other to something. Trust us," said Brae when she saw the look on Kel's face "their challenges can range from fights verbally and physically to eating contests. Neither one will admit that the other is better at anything. This has been an on going tradition. Look they can look after themselves just fine and Rex would do anything to make sure that Cia is not hurt"
"He certainly doesn't act like it" protested Kel
"Yeah well where we come from Rex has a reputation of let's say toughness to protect. He can't show weakness and Cia is one of his weaknesses"
"I see"
"So don't mind them" finished Brae
~*~ Not noticing how far they had gone as they passed the clearing they soon found themselves in some trouble. For that reason they found themselves in front of a cave with a small stream of red flowing out.
"What you think that is?" asked Cia pointing to the stream while getting off her horse and walking closer towards the cave "it certainly is an odd color"
"If I didn't know any better I would have said that that was blood" answered Rex doing the same thing
"Blood as in the stuff that runs in our veins"
"Yep"
"That can't be too good"
"Nah, I think we are about find out where the blood is coming from" muttered Rex quietly as he hears a low growling
"I think your right" muttered Cia
When she had finished her sentence there was a click, click, and click like high heels on stones a rustling in the trees that made their heads turn and their hairs stand on end. Then an ugly head appeared in front of them. Now if they were normal people at this point in time both would have screamed but as so it happens they weren't (Rex and Cia were as abnormal as anyone could get). Legs then followed the head and there stood a five foot spider well that's what they thought at the time. The horses screeched reared and ran off leaving Rex and Cia by themselves.
"Wow that is one ugly spider" spoke Rex not taking any notice in the runaway horses
"I don't think that that is a spider exactly," said Cia
"Then what is it then?"
"No idea, it certainly doesn't look too friendly does it"
"You took the words right out of my mouth Sis"
No sooner had he said Sis at least another three spiders appeared in a circle cutting off any escape that they had before.
"Now what do we do" asked Cia
"We.fight" stuttered Rex
"You're not serious"
"Indeed I am"
"And you think we stand a chance"
"Well that's why take martial arts in the first place"
"Martial arts hmm that might work"
"They would? Yeah sure they would" faltered Rex
"Ok let's see what we've got here" Cia looked around at their surroundings. Overhead was covered in low growing trees with small patches where the light was coming through, till now she hadn't noticed how dark it actually was in the undercover. Past the Spider in front was the cave and stream. Behind was the way they came which wasn't much use without their horses. To the side of them it was the same thing.
"Well I think the only way out of this one would be up" stated Cia
"Up?"
"Yep"
"And how do you propose we do that"
"How else" said Cia as she pointed to the spiders legs
"Oh I see"
"Is it just me or are you getting dumber by the year"
"Hump"
So that is the plan get into the trees ASAP.well that was the plan until the spiders decided to be clever and create a web in the trees to catch their prey before it escaped.
"Nice plan getting us stuck up here" accused Rex
"It wasn't my fault, I didn't know that they could understand what we were saying" replied Cia harshly
"It wouldn't've hurt you to try"
"You may never know. This could be the better plan"
"Yeah how, getting eaten"
"Shut up, I'm thinking. You know it wouldn't hurt you to use your brain once in a while"
"You're the brains of this operation"
"Well be maybe you should take over Mr. Know it all"
"Maybe I will"
"Be my guest" finished Cia *Stupid brother thinks he knows everything. I wish I had something that I could kill him with. Maybe dad's swords, ha I would like to see that*
No further had Cia thought what she did, did her father's favourite sword appear in her loose hand.
"Hey where you get the old man's sword," asked Rex surprised
"How am I supposed to know and why you looking at me shouldn't you be finding a way out of our current situation since you think I can't" back chattered Cia
"It was just a question"
"Stop asking then"
"Hey I have an idea"
"And the brilliant idea would be"
"Why don't you use the sword and cut us loose"
"Why you are a genius aren't you" said Cia sarcastically
"Shut up and cut us loose"
"Maybe I should leave you up here for a while" said Cia thoughtfully as waited for the spiders to get closer before cutting them off the web
"You know for what you just said I really should thank you"
"Like you would've said it anyways"
"You're right I wouldn't have"
"So don't, we're even"
"Fine. Call it a truce for the moment"
"Truce"
"Shake on it"
"Yeah" they shake on the truce
"Let's get out of here" decided Rex
"Now there's a good idea" replied Cia
Lowering themselves into a fighting stance they looked at each other and charge at the first spidren. The spidren rose onto its hind legs and prepared to catch one them with its web. Learning from what they had seen when it did it the first to spin that web that caught them. Cia grabbed the largest rock that see could reach, ducked from the front legs and shoved the it as far as she could into the hole where the web would've come out. Screeching out in pain as the sharp edges sliced opened the spidren's inside Rex took this chance to sweep two of its legs that were on the side then jump and kick it hard in the face. The kick was rewarded with a loud snapping. The Spidren dropped down dead.
"One down three to go" said Cia excitedly
Running towards one of the singled out spidrens she suddenly felt warmth in her hand and fingers, feeling something appear in her right hand she threw it on impulse and saw a bright light fly from her hand hit the spidren and turn it to ashes. Not thinking properly she turned to see how Rex was doing only to find that she was facing a very mean looking spidren with what looked like a smirk on his meant to be face.
"Oh you think you can do better than your friend do you" challenged Cia
The spidren just smiles evilly
"Don't give me that smile you're going down like the rest of your pals"
"I don't think so" sneered the spidren
"You can talk?" asked Cia surprised
"Of course I can talk, I can also use weapons" answered the spidren as it pulled out two axes and two spears
"Oh this is not good" muttered Cia
"It is for me, I'm going to make your death nice and slow as you killed my family"
"Well I'm sorry to spoil party but I can't let you do that" jeered Rex
"What are you going to do about it" mocked the spidren
"This" said Rex as he threw something at the spidren that Cia didn't see for she was covering her eyes from the light. There was a suddenly boom and silence. When the air settled down she saw Rex standing there with a smirk that could have enlarged his ego a hundred times over.
"Are you all right," asked Rex worriedly as he helped her up "It didn't hurt you did it"
"Nah I'm fine" replied Cia as she dusted herself off "What d'you do to it. Wait let me rephrase that, how did you do what you did"
"I got worried when I saw you facing it off when it had axes and spears. So I guess I just walked over and threw what ever it was that was in my hand at the time"
"Nice, what did you do to the other thing?"
"Same thing"
"Oh, say did you get this warm feeling in your arm when you had whatever it was in your hand?"
"Yeah why?"
"So did I when I killed the one over there" said Cia as she pointed to a pile of ash that was steadily being blown away
Rex whistles "Not bad"
"Same to you. Well let's get going before anything else decides that we're easy prey"
"Sure" They started to walk towards the cave and found themselves standing in front of a small rill of clear water that was being coloured by the red liquid that was flowing out of the cave.
"Let's follow the stream up a bit so we're away from that cave. I don't know what surprises it wants to throw that us," said Cia
"Same here, I think I've had enough surprises for one day" replied Rex
It wasn't long before they came to a small path that lead to what looked like the clearing they were supposed to be at. As they walked into the clearing they met up with everyone and also their horses.
"Where have you two been" asked Brae suspiciously
"No where interesting" answered Cia
"You're both bleeding," called Kel
"We are?" said Rex calmly as both of them tried to find where the blood was
"Yes" replied Kel as she pointed to Rex's leg and Cia's arm
"Oh that's interesting I never noticed" muttered Rex
"Doesn't it hurt?" asked Kel
"No" answered Rex and Cia. Kel looked confused with their answer so Ryan tried to explain
"Kel, Rex and Cia wouldn't know if their hurt if you cut them purposely with an knife. They've been taught how to block out minor pains such as grazes and cuts. Which also means larger cuts and things as well you can't teach them a small thing without teaching them knowing everything about it" explained Ryan
"Blocking out pain"
"Yes, it means they can spar with each other for longer with or without weapons"
"Interesting. Can you do that?"
"Yes but not as well as they can. They've been training since they could walk we didn't start until at least we were five. That was about the time we became friends"
"Well even with your training you still have to be careful let's get you fixed up before we go" said Kel
"Yeah sure, if I'm going to be sitting down for the rest of the trip I don't think I can take the pain the numb butt" replied Cia
"Same here, same here" said Rex
With Duke Baird
"These cuts are deep let me heal them you can change into some new breeches and shirt when I've finished. Don't fight me," said the Duke to Cia
"Sure, why would I want to fight you?" asked Cia
"Not physically. Just let me heal you do put any defenses" answered Duke Baird
"Oh I see" Cia felt a cooling sensation when the Duke touched her arm it made her want to sleep
"Done. I must say you are very healthy and in tip top shape I supposed that's why I was able to heal you so quickly"
"Thanks I try to stay in shape with all the food that I can eat"
"Yes I know"
"Can you get your brother when you go"
"Sure, thanks for the healing"
"My pleasure, off you go"
Cia walked out told her brother to get him cleaned up and went to her horse so she could get a new shirt. She quickly changed behind the bushes and when she got back to the clearing her brother was healed and in a pair of new breeches.
"How did you do that so quickly"
"Because I'm a guy and you're a girl"
"Yeah whatever" said Cia walking over to Kel and her friends
"Hey I've been meaning to ask you, Duke Baird said that your cuts were deep how did you get them"
"Oh we were attacked by some very big spiders" answered Cia not very interested
"Spiders."
"Yeah I think they had a human head, I must've got the cut on my arm when one of them tried to cut me down sideways, coming to that do you know what they were" asked Cia
"I think you are talking about Spidrens" answered the King as he walked over to them
"Spidras?"
"Spidrens, they are immortals and love to feed on human blood"
"Immortals, I don't get it, we killed four how can they be immortals if they can be killed?" questioned Rex
"Four did you say you killed four" stuttered out Neal
"Yeah what's the big deal you still haven't answered my questions" pointed out Rex
"Immortals are not the best of names for them it is misleading in a way. They are called immortals only because they do not die if they are not killed. The definition of immortal is not subject to death or decay and therefore misleading" replied the King calmly
"Right, you said that they feed on blood didn't you" asked Cia
"Yes" answered the King with a questioning look
Turning to Rex, Cia said, "Maybe you were right that red stuff might have been blood after all"
"Certainly seems like it"
"What red stuff" inquired the King
"There was this red stuff coming out of a cave about 300 meters up the stream," said Cia
Looking around at everyone to see if they had heard King Jonathan gave an order for a few men to go and check it out. If he was right the cave might be a Spidren den. When the men came back King Jonathan was proven correct. The blood apparently was coming from two dead children that were currently being eaten.
Moving the whole party to where the cave is they prepared to do what was needed. King Jonathan instructed Numair to use his magic and create a fire blast and send it into the cave. The screeching of small spidrens were heard but no one felt sorry for them.
"We have to make up for lost time," said the King "lunch will be eaten on horse back we will continue till me have covered as much ground as possible" With that they moved off back to the main road and proceeded on their way.
A/N Sorry you haven't found out who the bad guy is yet, it will definitely in the next chapter I have to make sure that they are at the palace before any more about them is said. Tell me what you think PLZ!!!!!
