Chapter 11: Encounter with the Enemy
Thx for the reviews! And I hope that Inner me doesn't have to make you eat the yellow snowballs she's already working on. She has a dog who loves to be out in the snow. Please review.
The train from Central to a small town called Black slowed to a stop at the station. Riza woke up as the brakes screeched. Her, along with two other people, stood up and got off the train. One being a tall man, the other a short old woman. Riza went through the station doors to the dirt roads and started walking, her head in the clouds and not noticing the man who was following her. I'll come home as soon as I speak with my friend…so don't worry Roy, not that you are. Riza looked at the damp ground as she walked up a small hill.
"Excuse me miss?" The man who was behind her tapped her shoulder.
Riza just realized she hadn't been on her guard. She reached into her pocket and gripped the handle of her pistol. She slowly turned around to face the man.
He had medium length black hair, dark blue eyes, and was very pale.
"Yes? Can I help you?" Riza looked into his eyes, her grip tightening on her gun.
""Well…yes…you can…" The man stepped closer and Riza backed away.
"What do you need?" She spoke calmly and sternly, she withdrew her gun.
"No need to start a fight, Riza."
"How do you know my name?"
"I know more than your name." The man threw open his long raincoat to show over seventeen guns attached to the inside. He took out two rifles and aimed one at each of Riza's legs. "You can't beat your own fiancé."
Riza's eyes widened a bit then narrowed. "Why are you here Shane? We broke off a long time ago."
Shane laughed, ready to fire. "You can come quietly and I won't have to shoot."
"What do you want with me? I left over ten years ago." Riza pointed her pistol at Shane's heart.
"I just want you." He winked….then fired….he was dead before the bullet shells hit the ground.
Riza sidestepped both bullets then ran towards him and fired, straight through his heart.
Shane fell to his knees then forward onto his face.
"You didn't get me." Riza said quietly as she rolled him over and took all of his weapons. Then she stood up and continued her walk, leaving him there, cold and dead on the ground.
Lauren and Ed both stared at Dirt and Rain.
Rain laughed a little. "Well…I actually didn't know where I was when I first met you Ed."
"Same with you and I Lauren." Dirt sat next to his sister on the tree branch.
Lauren stood up with some difficulty. "So we're just lost..? Even that cat doesn't know where we are?" Lauren motioned to Hero who was clawing a tree.
Rain shook her head. "Nope, and we're too far for him to catch any scents of the camp." Rain looked at the ground. "We're sorry, Ed…And Lauren…but we needed the money…" She spoke quietly and Dirt looked down too.
"What are you talking about?" Ed looked at them suspiciously. Was this all a set-up? Are they working for someone or what?
"You'll have to come with us, Lauren." Dirt got up and walked up to Lauren.
"No way, Lauren's not leaving me again." Ed stepped between them.
Lauren smiled some then her face turned cold as she looked at Rain. "Who are you, really?"
"My name is Rain, that part was true…but Hero didn't save us from a fire…Our mother was killed by Sin…but that was all planned out and we knew it." Rain jumped off of the tree branch.
"Lets go Dirt…leave them…they have to find that little girl." Rain turned left and started walking.
Dirt followed after looking into Lauren's eyes, his own filled with grief and anger.
"Wait, do you know where she is?" Lauren called out to Rain as she walked through the bushes.
"Find the River, follow its flow!" Rain called back. Hero followed then they were gone.
Ed turned to Lauren. "Can you walk alright?"
He cares a lot…I can see it in his eyes. Lauren smiled and nodded.
"Well let's find the river then." Ed took Lauren's hand and started walking.
Lauren walked beside him, holding his hand, and every one in a while, glancing sideways at him.
