Author's Notes: The other fic has been abandoned for now. I can't start it up. Ain't gonna happen, so more time for this fic. Yay. I'll try to get you regular updates. I am properly motivated now. Go me. And I'm pretty sure my "update every two months" thing is getting old. So yeah... my new motto: Update early and update often. Because isn't it great to wake up, check your email/check and see that I've updated. Instead of email me me 3 times a day until I finally get it up? I'm not talking about Shadray. Yes I am. But I love your emails.
I have been told that "To the Reviewers" is no longer allowed. So if I have something to say, I will email you. I love my reviewers THAT MUCH. I feel awesome now. Doesn't that rule?
PLACE
"Troy, why are they still alive? The angels are on our side. And they're one short. He's gone off looking for Violet. Why are they still alive?" asked Hoshiko.
"I'm sorry, mistress. I fought one of them, a male. I was hurt, I had to get out of there."
"Fine! Where is the Golden Dragoon Spirit? It can't just disappear into thin air. You can't lose it. Where is it?"
"I don't know. I do know that Violet helped them escape from Hellena, and if she hadn't done that, we'd still have the angels here. She killed Tanya as well."
"Kill her. And don't screw it up this time. Take some angels to help if you wish. Kill Josh too. Don't screw that up either."
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
The group was walking back to Hellena. That is where Violet was most likely to be, and Liam was looking for her, so it just makes sense that that's where he'd look. Until they find him however, every single member of the group is mad about something. Sure, some are more mad than others, and for good reason. But everyone is mad, and the slightest little thing may cause them to explode.
"Are we there yet?" asked Areon.
"No. If we were there, we would no longer be walking, and we would probably be able to see Hellena Prison." responded Lily, who was obviously annoyed.
"Will the two of you please not fight?" asked Crystal.
"Alright Crystal, I've had enough of your 'I'm so perfect and wonderful and nice and sweet and everybody loves me' shit. You think you are so smart, and you think everybody should love you just as much as you love yourself. You have absolutely no reason to think so highly of yourself. You get into fights, just like everybody else. What right do you have to preach to them? You are pathetic, you're only acting this way so that maybe, just maybe, Valen will like you. I'm not stupid, I know about your little schoolgirl crush, and I know how dumb you are to fall for this evil, evil person!"
Em had exploded. Didn't I tell you it was only a matter of time?
"I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about me like I'm not even here!" yelled Valen.
"Em, you don't know me," yelled Crystal, ignoring Valen, "How would you know if I get into fights a lot? I only get into fights if I can't avoid them, but you go looking for trouble. You can't just pick a fight with somebody because you're bored. And I don't like Valen!"
"Both of you shut up before I have to hit somebody!" yelled Valen.
"Don't you only hit people that can't fight back?"
"I don't want to be brought into this either!" screamed Josh.
"Areon, this is all your fault, you should have kept your mouth shut." said Lily.
"How is this my fault? Em's the one who started yelling!"
"Crystal's the one who's being a delusional bitch!"
"How am I delusional? You feel the need to stand up for a murderer, and I'm telling you that you're wrong!"
"He's not killing anybody right now, is he?"
"Of course not, he's outnumbered 6 to 1."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
"Do me a favor and stop breathing will you?"
"No. When I'm about to die, I'll be fighting for life, just so that you'll have to suffer two more seconds on this planet with me."
Em wasn't going to let her keep talking. She punched Crystal in side of the face and she fell. Lily rushed over to see if she was alright.
"You broke her nose! What's wrong with you?"
"Will you all settle down? We're never going to get anything done when we're fighting each other!" yelled Jun as calmly as she could. Which is hard to accomplish, but Jun is special.
"Everybody please just settle down. Lily, fix Crystal's nose. Everybody else just...set up camp."
BY THE STREAM
"She's nuts."
This was the first thing Crystal had said since Lily had finished healing her nose. The two of them were just sitting by the stream, doing nothing. Valen was there too, because he didn't like Em, so getting the opportunity to bash her was good.
"She really is," Crystal continued. "Since we've met her, she's knocked Lily unconscious, hospitalized Valen and broke my nose. She's a danger to the world around her. She can't just walk around hurting people because she doesn't agree with them. If she wasn't a dragoon, I'd tell her that I don't want her with us anymore."
"Why don't we just ditch her anyways?" asked Valen.
"We can't do that. We didn't become dragoons for no reason. Every time there are dragoons, something big is about to happen. So we can't just ditch one of our own, no matter how much we hate her. Just don't get her mad and she probably won't try to kill you."
"Fine. Am I allowed to call her a bitch?"
Crystal smiled. "I don't--what was that?"
"Somebody yelling. Em probably thinks some squirrel called her a bitch and now she's gonna beat the crap out of it." said Lily, yawning.
"It's a man, Lily."
They all got up and went to see what the yelling was all about.
"I told you guys not to come looking for me, and here you are interfering."
"So were you just going to fight everything in Hellena by yourself?" asked Areon with a 'what are you thinking?' tone.
"If that's what I have to do, then yes."
Liam and Areon were sitting around the campfire arguing. Liam was looking defeated, and Areon looked proud of himself.
"Liam, great to see you," said Lily, "You shouldn't just run off like that, Jun was worried. Where is she, anyways?"
"Sleeping."
"Right. You know, if you were going on a quest to find Violet, don't you think Jun and I might like to tag along. You know, seeing as how we're related to her and all..."
"I know that. Just go to bed, we'll find her tomorrow."
IT IS NOW TOMORROW
Lily woke up at dawn. Looking around, she saw that everybody else was still asleep. So she got up, rubbing her eyes, and went for a walk on her own. She was barely twenty feet away from where she started, and she saw a faint orange light on the ground in front of her. Father away still, a body, covered in blood and face down in the dirt. Lily ran to where the body was, hoping that it wasn't who she thought it was.
It was. It was Violet, face down in the dirt, covered in blood, and without wings. Lily was crying freely, because she knew what that meant. The only way an angel loses their wings, is if they are dead.
END CHAPTER
:is crying:
All the time I make you wait, and what do you get. Character death. I know somebody out there is sad. :sniff:
Anyways, it is now...5 more days left until school. I could get you another chapter by then...if I knew you all still loved me after the wait.
