"" What people are saying.
'' Thoughts.
Raenef sat up, yawning, his mind still clinging on to the deep caresses of sleep. He felt so weak, but he hadn't changed his mind on running away, nothing could change his mind now.
"I wonder what Eclipse is doing right now," he said quietly, and then looked behind the curtain, closest to him, that hid the window. It was pitch black outside, and Raenef wished he had slept until dawn.
He sighed, and ran his hand through the tangled mass of hair on his head, his fingers becoming stuck on a knot. He growled quietly, letting his hand fall down on the soft blanket, and looked about the room. His gaze caught sight of a bowl that was sitting on top of the nightstand, beside his bed, the contents still warm and steamy.
"Eclipse thinks of everything," Raenef said to the bowl, and reached out, carefully picking up the hot bowl of vegetable soup, the broth splashing a bit on his hand, causing him to drop the bowl on to the floor.
"Shit," Raenef cursed his stupidity, and got out of the bed, picking the bowl up and returning it to its original spot. His burnt hand was turning a bright pink, as he walked towards the bathroom to retrieve a towel.
"I can't believe I spilled it. I bet Eclipse spent the whole time while I was asleep, cooking it."
Raenef grabbed a random towel from the rack and walked back to the mess, pressing the cloth to the wet spot on the floor. His hands became damp as the towel soaked up most of the ruined broth.
'All I do is mess everything up. Why can't I do anything right,' he thought to himself, as he let the towel sit on top of the wet spot on the floor, and walked to his dresser, the bowl long forgotten, 'The one thing that I will do good is leaving this place and mess someone else's life other than Eclipse's.'
His mind was still on his thoughts, as he opened up the drawers, picking out clothes that he might need for his trip.
"Casual dress…I have nothing casual. All of my clothes are robes and dark-colored," he muttered to himself, his hands going through all the clothes in the top drawer.
"Finally!"
Raenef had found the everyday-human clothes, which he had made sure to get before, in the middle drawer. He grinned at this accomplishment, and walked to his closet, taking out a traveling bag.
"Casual clothing. Check," he said, marking off the item on the list that was dancing in his mind.
Raenef got a few more things to bring, a cloak included, and stuffed them neatly in the bag, whistling a sweet tune while doing this.
"Money is greatly needed. Last time I left and brought only the clothes on my back, and was about starving a few hours later."
(Wow, is this really our Raenef! He is actually thinking and planning things.)
Raenef got done packing, finally. Dressed and ready, in a black cloak and robe, he stepped out of the castle, his eyes trying to adjust to the darkness of outside. (It's Zorro with blonde hair and no mask!)
"I hope you have a better life without me Eclipse," he said unhappily, walking down the road, his destination unknown to the household he left behind.
"God, I shouldn't have left," Raenef mumbled to himself, checking the map once again. (Apparently, his destination was unknown to him, as well. At least, we still have our Raenef.)
He turned the paper upside-down, horizontal, vertical, and every other direction, and he still had no clue where in the world he was.
'Eclipse saved me, and now I'm lost. Saved yet lost. How ironic,' he said to himself, his gaze looking out at the deserted town, as a tumble weed rolled by. (Tumble, tumble, tumble. Hehehe.)
"What will happen to me now," he said out loud, with a sigh, his eyes going back to the map, "I'll die like this and they will never find me. The shameful Demon Lord Raenef is M.B…. Missing a Brain (Hint: " ." Missing In Action…)…I'm the laughing-stock of the Demon Lords. Shall this be my destiny?"
Raenef collapsed on to the ground wailing, "I'm going to die lost!"
(Where is your dignity? o.o;;;)
He sniffled, his eyes averted to the ground, as he laid there, his mind creating scenes of his demise.
Meanwhile, Eclipse is pacing his study, hands clasped behind his back, "They can't have a meeting in an hour. This is all absurd! Raenef isn't awake and it is almost midnight. I mean, where is the sense in this! And why at this time! Is it so important, that some must leave their beds in the middle of the night to attend to a meeting that discusses demonic politics! The race of demons shall fall, because such an idiotic thing. We will all die half asleep and in pajamas! This is an outrage!" (o.o I seriously wouldn't want to be on Eclipse's bad side.)
Eclipse stopped his pacing, his lips set at a grim expression.
"I can't believe this. Well, I guess that I should go wake Raenef, even if he'll be a bit weak, he'll make it to this damned meeting."
Eclipse sighed heavily, whispering, "Go," his body disappearing and reappearing in front of Raenef's door in an instant. He walked into the room, assuming that Raenef was still unconscious, but as his gaze switched over to the empty bed, he almost fell to the floor from a heart attack.
"Raenef! Where the hell could he be!"
His mind was going insane, as he frantically searched the room for his master. Eclipse was about to pull his hair out with frustration and anxiety as he came back to the open door.
"Raenef, where could you have gone," he whispered half to himself and half to the cold air.
Eclipse searched the whole castle, his mind going crazy at every empty room he came to. He finally searched all of the rooms, and slide to the floor, his back against the cold wall, "I have lost him, again."
Eclipse's heart about stopped right there, and his brain about fried, as he sat there, his long black hair messy, and his violet eyes full of despair and worry.
"How could he have up and left without me knowing," Eclipse asked the floor in front of him.
Eclipse wasn't going to give up just yet, not until he finds his master.
'God, Raenef, you have been testing me this whole day haven't you?'
