Piper was the first to open her eyes, she looked around and saw that they were no longer in the manor, but where now laying on grass, in what seemed to be a clearing of sorts. As Piper looked around her she saw that her sisters where around her, but they weren't awake yet. Piper moved over to Phoebe, and started to wake her, but halfway through waking her she heard something that could only be described as a scream, even though she also heard two different screams, one was defiantly human, but the other didn't sound it, it seemed to be different, since the human scream was filled with a kind of deep anguish, that only came when someone died an un-natural death. The other seemed to be glee, a scream of glee and what had just happened. The scream ended as abruptly as it started, all that Piper could hear now was the sound of the forest, and the sound of rushing water. Phoebe was now starting to move around, waking up, while Piper moved over to Paige, as soon as she was awake she asked, "What happened, we didn't touch the orb, we just walked up to it, together. When it arrived I walked up to it plenty of times, but nothing happened. I don't…"
"We weren't all together." Piper said, bluntly, even though she didn't mean too. "Think about it, we weren't all together before, but this time we were. This time we all walked up to the orb. What ever was meant to happen, it was meant to happen when we all approached it. Oh, and one more thing, I don't think that we're alone in this forest." Piper added, she didn't want to mention the scream, but she knew that Phoebe could sense something by the way that she kept looking out into the trees. "Pheebs. What's up?"
"I sense something. I sense something dark, evil, and not just one of them, I sense plenty." And with that they all stood up, but none of them were prepared for what jumped out of the tree line. Five monsters jumped out. Each looked like a man, but their skin seemed to be decaying, all that could be seen in places were skull and sinew. They each had long knives in their hands, but some had large scythes strapped to their back. Each of the five walked toward the sisters, Piper moved forward to great them and made a hand movement.
Nothing happened. Piper tried again, but the same thing happened. Nothing. Piper took a step back, and soon found that her sisters and her self were now trapped, behind them was a small cliff, it was only about 15ft above them, but it was too high for them to climb, and in front they had to monsters. Piper positioned her self in front of her sisters, even though it wouldn't make a difference. The five stopped, but she then noticed that one hadn't stopped, had in fact gotten out his Scythe and was now making his way towards the sisters. It lifted its scythe, positioned for the death blow. Piper couldn't look; she closed her eyes in fear. The next thing that she heard was a bang. The bang was very loud, but it hadn't happened in front of her, it had happened above her. She opened her eyes and saw a pile of sand, and the scythe lying on the floor. The other four took a step back, but were no longer looking at the sisters, but looking above them, on top of the cliff. Then something new happened, she heard about five breaks. But it sounded like a pane of glass breaking, when Piper looked back at the monsters she now saw that they had doubled in number. She just stayed there with her sisters.
What happened next happened so fast that none of the sisters could properly follow it with their eyes, but they did watch it. The mysterious man jumped down from the cliff and landed in front of the sisters. His long coat seemed to look like a cape when he jumped, slowing his descent like a parachute. While at the same time his gun seemed to be go off at an angle that sliced two of the monsters in half, the bullets seemed to be infused with an un-natural energy, as each one seemed to cause a death blow. When the landed his feet never stood still, he switched from using his guns for a time being and used his sword. As he turned a scythe came from the side, his sword wasn't out but he used his gun, the scythe hit the gun, as he used the motion to keep the scythe going and led it into one of the monsters that had now jumped right at him, now he had gotten his sword out with his other hand and started to slice the monsters where he stood. The fight only took about 20 seconds, but when it was finished all that remained was the man, and his feet, buried in about a foot of sand, this sand radiated from him for about 2 foot. He turned and looked at the sisters, waiting for them to say something, but they just stood their, watching him, it was him that said the first words, "What the hell are you doing here. And without any weapons I see, let me ask you something, did you want to die? Tell me your names, quickly; more of them will be coming?"
"Well…I'm Piper, this is Pheobe and here is Paige. Who…"
"Come we must go." And with that the man just walked into the forest, before the sisters knew what they would do they found themselves walking after him, partly because they didn't know what was going on and who he was, but mostly at seeing that their powers didn't seem to work here, they needed protection, and he seemed to be nice enough, once you got past his manners.
As they ran they soon caught him up and saw that he was just walking at a pace, nothing hurried about it, even though this was the case he did seem to know where he was going. Even though the sisters walked behind him they still spoke to each other, trying to figure out what was happening, what the orb was, and why their powers wouldn't work. As they talked they didn't know that the man was listening in, and he soon came to the conclusion that these people had escaped from a hospital for the insane, since as far he could see, you had to be insane to walk into the forest without any kind of weapon. The one question that did stop him and made him revile that he was listening to them was when they asked themselves who he was, "I am Dante, excuse me back in the clearing, in the heat of the moment I forgot my manners, it's just that I wanted to keep myself alive, and if possible keep you alive, since you where standing next to a nest…"
"A nest? What's a nest?" Phoebe interrupted him, he turned and continued walking, except that this time he spoke as he walked, talking to the charmed ones, "The nest that I destroyed. Don't worry, but we must get back to the village. Then catch a train to the castle of these parts, I do not know what it is called, but I was told to go their, also I might be able to find you some place to stay, while you find out how to…what did you say? Oh yes… go back to the manor and your own world, ha aha." Dante continued to laugh, right out of the forest, and soon stopped once outside to compose himself. "I apologise again, it's just so absurd. I know of magic, believe me when I say the magic here is not a thing for 3 little girls to mess with, even I have problems with it."
"Wait…" Phoebe said while running up beside him, "You're magical, what are you?"
"What am I? What a stupid question, I'm a human, for the most part, every human has some power, others just have more, and that's where you get your wizards. Sometime they are good, such as healers or sommoners. Other times you get Dark wizards and Necromancers, nasty things, you have already met the result of a Necro, the dead revived to serve him, their called the Genma. Well I'm rambling, the advice that I can give you is change your clothes, this world of yours must have no modesty, the only time something such as those are worn are under battle armour, which is my second bit of advice, arm your selves, and here is some money." Dante turned and gave them a bad, it weighed quite a bit, as Paige looked inside she saw over a hundred gold coins, "Listen, there's a armourer in the village, quite good for the price that he charges, and assuming that you do seem to be a bit on the physically weak side, get some small knives and bows, and learn to use them quick. The sooner you do look for a place in the Castle of Midgar, it's called the Back alley bar, just ask any warrior where it is, that's where I am usually." Dante stopped and looked out over a large hill that he had been walking up slowly, the sisters hadn't even noticed that they where walking up a hill. Once the sisters followed his sight they saw the village, it was large, but it was a village because instead of the buildings being made out of metal or stone they were made out of wood, mostly likely cut down from the forest. "Here we are, Cross Roads."
I know that may anger a few people about where I stopped it, but please review, I didn't put this message with the first chapter because I forgot. Please review since this is my first FanFiction and if anyone sees things that are really wrong then feel free to inform me, just please don't flame it.
Will update soon, thanks.
