Memories: The Last Trip - Midnight Escapades
Ceciline blinked the bright blue light out of her eyes as she took in her surroundings. She had landed in the woods...again. It seemed that they called to her. Or something. She was perplexed. She stood up while thinking about it and stared toward the path when a rustle in a rhododendron caught her attention. She turned and followed the noise. She soon caught a familiar scent and smiled mischievously.
After chasing the soft noises and the scent, she leapt right and tackled her "mysterious" leader. Cuero Colza's laughter was full of mirth. A cricket chirp caused her ear to twitch. This was a new change of surroundings. She turned her attention away from her boyfriend and looked around. What she saw took her breath away.
Dusk was settling on a two springs: one hot and one ice-cold. Cypress trees grew in the pond between the two springs. Boulders were sprinkled haphazardly throughout the whole system. Lightning bugs flashed as they flow hither and yon with no exact destination. Peepers, frogs and crickets sang to the night along with unknown insects. She turned her eyes back to Cuero, inquiring about this strange turn of events. The emotion of his eyes changed and he smiled the smile of one who knows something that nobody else does. Something clicked deep in her core-self. Her eyes shone with the same light as his did. His smile broadened and she laughed.
He rolled over. He now had her pinned to the ground. She growled and he laughed. He kissed her and she kissed back. After their running escapade through the forest, they were quite dirty. Cuero went to a tree closer to the hot spring, stripped behind it, and jumped in with a splash. This task took Ceciline slightly longer. She took her braid out, ran her fingers through her extremely long hair, went to a tree closer to the cold mountain spring, stripped behind it, and plunged herself into the chilly water.
Ceciline stealthily wove through the cypress groves. She heard a noise and splashed in that direction. She heard spluttering and coughing. She laughed and dove under the water. This game continued between the two, they never coming within five feet of each other.
They eventually got out of the water. They dried on separate rocks over near the hot springs. They met each other when they were heading back to retrieve their clothing. Their eyes met and things went downhill fast.
As the crickets and peepers chirped, two shadowfox danced a dance that they could only hear that was as old as time.
!($^&!(#%$*!(#(^&%!($#@*
Hitomi entered Ceciline's room to find her vomiting all over her bed.
"What happened to you?" Hitomi asked thoroughly concerned.
"I guess I ate something that hated me yesterday," she weakly replied sarcastically. She opened her mouth to say something else, but her face paled and she turned away to vomit. She never noticed when Hitomi left, or when she came back with Van. She never noticed when Van looked in her fever glazed eyes, or when he felt her swollen glands. She never noticed when her pulse was taken, or when he made her lay down on her back, almost hanging off the side of the huge canopy bed. She sighed when she felt strong hands massage her back. She shuddered losing control of her human form.
!($^&!($*^@)(%@($!&^($#
Van wondered what on Gaia Ceciline had eaten to make her so sick when he felt something silky soft brush his arm. He looked to see Ceciline's black foxtail, when she threw up again, he looked and saw her black fox ears. Distant shrieking caused an idea to form in Van's head.
"Hitomi?" Van asked the girl in front of the door.
"Yes?"
"Please fetch me Merle," Van commanded. Hitomi nodded and left without a word.
He turned his attention back to Ceciline to discover her silver-green eye staring dazedly back at him. But before he could say a word to her, She spoke to him.
"We both ate this plant," she explained. "It was on the left side of the cold spring. He had us both eat it." She passed out.
As Ceciline finished her speech, Merle decided to enter the room.
"What would you like of me, Lord Van?" Merle asked with enthusiasm, pleased that she could help her lord.
"Could you go to the bipolar springs and, from the cold spring, bring me back the plant that grows there," Van instructed.
"Right away, Lord Van!" Merle chirped as she ran off down the hallway. Van returned his attention to Ceciline. ::What have you gotten yourself into?::
(#@$^(@*$#)%@($)^*@$)(%
Merle came back in a few hours with a plant that Van recognized and knew the antidote to. He set about making it and eventually got Ceciline to take it...even though he basically had to shove the medicine down her throat.
After a few hours, Ceciline showed signs of improvement. Chills and a fever as the antidote fought the poison was high and quickly over. Then she slept for the next day and a half. When that ordeal was over, Ceciline and everyone else tormented the servants, snuck out of the castle after Van's curfew, and vandalized an inn in the town. Ceciline thought it very amusing that Van had a curfew and told him so. He just glared at her before breaking into a smile.
Apparently he hadn't always had a curfew. He was given it a few years ago when he got mad at his advisors, rolled in the dirt with his clothes on, mussed his hair up, threw a cloak on and just walked into town. His advisors had gone nuts. The inn keepers he had told laughed whenever they heard the rumors of King Van's disappearance. The rumors were great. It wasn't until, some days later, one of his advisors found him in a tavern playing dice with some guys and drinking at some ungodly hour that he had been dragged back to the castle and given a curfew. The story just made the curfew all the more hilarious. Van thought the same. He still snuck out at ungodly hours to go and play dice at that tavern.
The story of Van's curfew gave Ceciline an idea. After throwing up one morning, she proposed it to Hitomi and Van at breakfast. Of course, it was proposed in hushed whispers behind hands with much giggling and the raising of eyebrows. It had been decided. That night, after the advisors made sure Van was locked in his suite, the conspiring teens snuck into Ceciline's room, climbed down the balcony with tied sheets, much like Van had attempted to do as a child, and made their way to the town and the tavern Van gambled in.
@(&^*@($*%)@$^*)@$#(%@&^!@%
"Hey look!" someone bellowed as they three of them entered. "Chip brought some friends with him this time!"
"Hello to you too, Jim Bob," Van muttered as he made his way over to the table he always occupied on his escapades. His "friends" followed and sat down around the table with him. Vino was ordered all around and the gambling card games ensued. Along with lost money many weapons were gambled away as well with curses. In fact, Hitomi and Ceciline were sure that they had never heard Van with the accent he had added to his speech along with enough cuss words to rival any sailor.
Ceciline picked up on Van's get up. She swallowed her whole cup of vino before picking up some cards at the beginning of the next game. She ended up winning a nice blade, much to the cursing of some guy called...Guy.
Eventually, after several rounds of cards and many mugs of vino, Ceciline was getting rather drunk. When she was drunk, she lost control of her human form. The guys at their table noticed, and, thankfully everyone else in the tavern, albeit not many at that, didn't notice. They whispered the beg-a-boon chant/spell/thingy that for some unknown reason struck a cord in a shadowfox. Ceciline responded with her own version and then asked them for their boon. They told her and she obliged them.
Van looked out the window and panicked. They had been gone longer than he had wanted to be. He excused himself and his "friends" as the others put it, and they ran back to the castle, climbed up sheets, rolled them up and stuffed them under Ceciline's bed before retiring to their own rooms falling asleep as soon as they wore night garments.

Now, waking up the next morning was a different story. Van's advisors came and attempted to wake Van up. Van growled something about no meetings tomorrow and switching all of that day's meeting to tomorrow. The advisors bowed and hurriedly left their irate king to do his bidding, even if it was reluctantly. But they were happy for a slight day off. They moaned on hangovers and managed to gather into Van's room since it was the biggest. Merle made them a hangover remedy and they enjoyed the rest of the day tormenting the advisors. Poor advisors.
That evening, after Ceciline had thrown up, Hitomi and Ceciline had to leave. Ceciline had to return to her home soon and she needed to pack all of her stuff. As she and Hitomi went out to the balcony, as the blue light was coming down to take them away, Ceciline heard a howl and smiled. Everything became too bright and she shut her eyes to enjoy the bliss the blue light brought to her.

A/N:
Almost makes you feel sorry for the poor advisors....almost. This is going to be the last chapter on Ceciline. There will some flashbacks with her in later chapters. But this story is going to rated R from now on. Sorry.
R&R por favor, please, etc.
Anyway, this story is losing it's sweet innocence here in the next few chapters. The rating will have to be raised due to the lemon in this chapter and future scenes of violence.
