Chapter Two- The Rabbit

All day Florina had been feeling uneasy. All this Curse stuff wasn't easy on her nerves and she constantly wondered who it was effecting and how. Did this mean the twelve people under the curse would eventually turn into animals? She couldn't imagine... She just hoped she wasn't one of them. Earlier she had seen Rath sitting on his horse looking very much paranoid. She didn't know he COULD be paranoid. He was Rath! Mr. I don't want to talk to anyone scary bow man! Maybe he was effected! Was he turning into a animal? Did he have a tail? Maybe he was hiding ears under that strange hat of his... Rath with animals ears, she could only imagine. She giggled to herself.

'Rath... with bunny ears! How funny! Maybe a little fluffy tail? Possibly fur? What would he have to say about that? Oh wait... probably nothing...' she thought to herself imagining Rath with little cute bunny ear and a fluffy white tail. But she eventually realized how mean what she was thinking was. 'how horrible... I wouldn't want to turn into a bunny... or well any animal at all! I better stop such thoughts!' She thoughts again trying to cheer herself up. Yet still laughing on the inside.

"Florina, is something wrong?" Fiora asked. She was just passing by when she noticed her distressed looking sister. "Has someone been messing with you? harassing you? Because if they are! I'll take care of them for you!"

"Oh, no! Everyone's been very kind to me... Thanks for being so... sisterly though..." Florina said, smiling. She was glad Fiora was someone she could go to for help.

"heh... Is it that silly curse rumor?" Fiora asked, with a concerned smile.

"well... a little... I can't help but wonder about it..." Florina answered, blushing a bit.

"Don't let it get you down. I hate seeing you down..." Fiora said, with a sisterly smile.

"Black fang ahead! Ready your weapons!" Lowen said, rushing threw the camp on his horse, sadly almost running poor Nils over.

"Oh... We'll talk later! I better get ready!" Fiora said, running off to get her things. Florina just smiled and waved goodbye before heading to get her things.

Later, Florina flew above the battle field. The attack wasn't serious, but it couldn't be taken lightly. She had been sent off to take out a rather annoying Wyvern Rider who had run off after taking some minor damage. The battle field was a bit foggy, especially in the skies. This made it hard for her to see below her so she didn't know if there were some archers that could possibly cause her damage. She tried not to think about that. She had a task to take care of.

Rath was slightly below the young Peg. Knight. He had been told to make sure she wasn't attacked by archers, but the ground troops were of many and he was afraid she would get to far ahead of him before he took them out. He already had to leave Lyn behind and she had her own Fang to deal with.

He quickly dealt with the enemies in front of him. Now he had to find out where Florina was. Lucky for him a strong wind had blown some of the fog away and his path was clear. He still couldn't see Florina though. He scanned the sky hopping she hadn't already been shot down. Finally he caught sight of her. She seemed well enough. She was quickly dealing with a wyvern. Alas, Rath finally noticed the sniper below her, already taking his aim. He rushed his horse over in attempts to reach there in time, but he was very far off, he didn't know if he could make it.

'Dang... this guys tough...' Florina thought, yet she managed to land what the Tactician called a 'Critical attack' on the enemy. 'at least that's over... oh.. no!" She said looking down, noticing the sniper below her. She was just about to take off flying before Rath shot the Sniper with a arrow quickly before he fired it with all his force(this meaning the arrow did fire but only made it about 5 feet off the ground, diffidently not high enough).

"Thank you! Rath! AHH!" She yelled. Right as she got done another wyvern had suddenly rammed into her, knocking her clear off her Pegasus. Rath's eyes widened as he shot yet another arrow, killing the wyvern. Then he noticed Florina falling to her doom. He positioned himself under her and reached his hands out to grab her. Only on contacted she disappeared into a puff of smoke!

A surprised gasp was all Rath could manage. His mouth wide open as he noticed Florina's dress and other clothing in his arm's, but not Florina. He frantically looked around, wondering what could have happened. Then he saw it. Sitting on his lap, confused and disoriented, sat a little bunny. Only this bunny wasn't white or brown it was Light purple. He quickly grabbed it by its ears, threw the dress over his shoulder and bolted back to the others. He looked almost as confused as the poor rabbit he held in his hand.

"Rath? What's he so frantic about?" Lyn asked, noticing Rath's horse bolting at her. It came to almost a immediate stop when it reached Lyn. Rath jumped off his horse frantically and waved the bunny in Lyn's face. He could say nothing that would mean anything more then mindless babble. Lyn just looked at him confused.

"You got us lunch?" She asked. That was the only thing she could think of saying. They did have to eat Rabbit a lot. Rath shook his head 'No' Frantically before throwing the rabbit to Lyn and showing her the dress. Lyn's right eye twitched before she tackled Rath. She grabbed his neck and shook him violently yelling "WHAT DID YOU DO TO FLORINA!" Rath completely helpless didn't answer.

Soon enough a quick "POOF!" Noise came followed by. "...L-LYN!" It was Florina's voice Timid and frightened. (And yes, all you creepy Fan-boys. You pop out of your cloths, you don't pop back into them.) Lyn turned around seeing her good friend standing there she jumped up and frantically threw her a cloak.

"There... cover up with that..." Lyn said, with a sigh. She grabbed Florina's real cloths and handed them to her. "May not be the best time to change but... Nobody else is around..."

"Thank you, Lyn." Florina answered.

"Now tell me what happened!" Lyn said, grabbing Florina's arm. "Are your hurt? What did Rath do!?"

"I-I! I don't know! I fell off my Pegasus and then Rath caught me and! And! I turned into a bunny! Then I changed back!" Florina explained, only after she had all her cloths back on.

"Y-You mean! Rath didn't? Well you know! Oh boy..." Lyn said, looking back at poor Rath who's head she had beaten into the ground. She turned a bit red. She couldn't believe she thought RATH of all people would do anything like that to women. She felt sorry about it now.... "I am soo sorry Rath!" She said, sulking next to him. Rath just lied there confused and half knocked out.

"Lyn.... I think I'm cursed..." Florina said.

"You? but... ah... That would make since! Your cursed by the Spirit of the Rabbit! That's why you turned into a rabbit! I knew there was curse! Wait... if your cursed that means... eleven other people are cursed as well!" Lyn said. "We better get back to the camp! We have to tell everyone!.... lets get Rath first... I feel really bad now..." she added.

"yes..." Florina said, smiling. They both looked at Rath

"wow... you really beat him up didn't you..." Florina said, with a slight laugh.

"Sadly enough yes..." Lyn said.

Shortly after that Lyn and Florina told everyone what had happened. They couldn't believe it, but nobody questioned it once Rath added in his part of the tale, well once he woke up. The camp went into a panic everyone was trying to find out who was possessed, who wasn't, if they weren't or were. Lyn and Florina were more concerned on how the transformation happened. That was the most un-clear thing.

Yet in the end, everyone calmed down, Florina was no longer a Bunny, and Rath didn't get a concussion. Eliwood ordered that everyone act just the way they normally do and they'll find who's cursed and who's not cursed much faster and easier. Yah right! Do you really expect this to end fast and easy?
