Sorry for the delay, but I've been on vacation, and on top of that, I've had writer's block. Plus, I've been preoccupied ever since the sixth Harry Potter book came out. (Say what you will. I'm a die-hard HP fan.) I would like to thank everyone who's reviewed so far, you guys kick ass. Alrighty, here the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia. If I did, Sheena would wearing a lot less, you know what I'm sayin'? Huh? Huh?
The Hunter
Zelos had taken the body of his victim and wrapped it in the bloodstained blankets from his bed and hid the body in an airtight trunk in the attic of his mansion and put several locks on it to ensure nobody found out about his atrocity. He was satisfied with what he had done, but at the same time felt insatiate. He wanted more. And he knew what he wanted. He wanted the blood of the ones who tried to kill him. And anyone who stood in his way was expendable. The woman he already killed was just practice. Yes, that what it was. Merely a dress rehearsal for his real performance.
He strolled the streets of Meltokio, knowing that some of his "friends" might be around. They had no idea what dear old Zelos had in store for them… As he passed the inn, he saw a familiar blonde girl walking out. My cute little Colette. he thought, Easy pickings. He walked over to her and said in a would-be friendly voice, "Why, hello Colette! How's it going?" Colette jumped slightly, having not noticed the red-haired swordsman standing right next to her. "Oh, hi Zelos!" she said. It amazed Zelos that she was totally oblivious to what was soon going to happen to her. Then again, he always thought she was oblivious.
"Hey, I was just thinking, since we're both here, why don't we hang out for a while? You know, go back to my place for a few hours…" "Sure!" Then the two Chosens set off for Zelos' mansion. This is gonna be too easy… thought Zelos, surpressing a malicious grin.
What horrible fate will befall Colette? Find out in the next chapter. Reviews are appreciated.
To Hand of Blades: Thanks for being my first reviewer. Also "Fox's Void" was where I got my inspiration for this fic.
