Chapter 8
"Selene?"
The girl seemed dazed, mind drained, and ghostly, staring down at Brandon. "W-what do you mean?" he asked in confusion, to her first comment.
"I mean, he's dead. As you are soon to be." Selene's voice was cold her eyes black, and his heart froze at the sound her cocking sound of the gun she was holding. Lust walked out from behind her, Selene holding the weapon at Brandon. "Go on hun, shoot him." she pressured.
He stopped breathing and stared with fear, there wasn't even time to think or dodge before the gun's sharp crack sounded. Brandon collapsed over, more out of chock than pain, but still looked dead enough for Lust and Selene to walk away satisfied.
Once Brandon realized he was alive, he took a deep breathe of air. 'What...happened?' he thought, feeling he was still on the cold stone road of Central. There was a sharp pain in his leg when he tried to move; he immediately moved his coat away and looked down to see his pants torn in the pocket area. Surprisingly, he began chuckling. "It's a damn good thing Selene can't aim...but Amy's gonna kill me; for destroying her pocket watch..." He was smirking in victory as he pulled the watch out of this pocket, and chucked it over by Hughes's body. It had a bullet right over the center where the state's symbol of the lion is. Brandon limply crawled over to the phone booth, and picked up the picture of Maes and his family. "Don't worry, I'll get them." he said, dialing the number to the police station and getting help.
After that he left off into the night; ignoring the limp he had in his right leg.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Greed walked in the room, ignoring everyone else by trying to look for something. "Where's the girl? I need to talk to her."
"She left late last night, she said she'd be back later today." Dorochet said, recalling the event. "But, Amy mentioned you gave her the money and permission. Is that right?"
"No. I didn't give that girl squat except small change to get a map. But she came back with that mutt, which I'm guessing she took along with her." he said, a little pissed off now. "Did she say where she was going?"
"Nope, she just said she was going to say farewell to an old friend. And try and find her companions on the way."
Kimblee snickered in the background. "I told you we couldn't trust that girl. Now she's gone off on her own? What else would you expect for her to run away like a scared, little, girl..."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Amy walked along the damp morning streets, the chimera Kira at her side. She was now dressed in a nice black outfit, one a person would wear to attend a funeral... Just where she was going.
"Where are we going?" the beast padding next to her asked. "A funeral. A man called Maes Hughes... I'm gonna ask you to act like a whole canine and not talk while we're around other people." Amy said, giving a small smile. "I understand."
The duo arrived in the Central graveyard, coming just as the people were grouping together and mourning their regrets and sorrows over the man's death. The military came in lines, nice and formal as you'd expect. Amy stood more to the side of everyone, trying to stay unnoticed as a large coffin was carried through.
Elysia's cries were heard over the painful silence, Amy couldn't help but let some of the tears trickle down her face. After a few speakers gave a statement, people began leaving, a mournful air over the few that remained. Amy stayed, and noticed Selene sitting on her legs in front of the grave. She looked really heart-struck, a little pale. Ms. Hughes helped her up and they began leaving, Amy saying nothing as she noticed Brandon wasn't with her, or anywhere to be found.
"So, this man was important? To all these people?" Kira asked quietly. "Yes. Maes was a great man that died with honor, even if KIA was his fate." Amy said, looking down at the grave. "There's one more thing I need to check before we go. Greed will be mad at me for leaving so suddenly, but at least I'm coming back."
Amy and Kira now were at the Hughes residence, knocking at the door. Ms. Hughes answered it, trying to look cheery and happy on greeting. "Is Selene here?" Amy asked, before anything. Selene appeared behind Gracia, wiping away her current tears and then tackling Amy in complete relief and excitement.
"Where have you been? What happened? How did you get here?" Selene asked, once they were both inside and settled in. "That's not important, at least your here and safe!"
Amy just barely smiled. "Where's Brandon? You found him right?"
"Yes, but...he left. To go off on his own. Amy I..I nearly killed him." she stuttered. "It wasn't my fault though! Sloth was controlling me...but Lust got me out of it, and said I could go as long as I kept quiet, or they'd kill me."
"Kind of ironic. That's what Envy said to me..." Amy smirked. "Selene, I can't stay here for very long. I need to get back to the south." Selene opened her mouth to object, but Amy continued. "Greed is taking care of me, and I doubt he'll take in another. You need to head south with me, find Ed and stay with him. It's dangerous to be here now, by how much we know..."
Selene nodded, agreeing. "But what about Brandon?"
"We'll meet up with him soon enough...especially if you find Edward."
They bid the Hughes' goodbye before heading to the train station. "You need to get to Rush Valley, and find them; for protection. We can ride with each other to the first stop, then we split." Selene again agreed as they boarded the train; Kira having to be put in the livestock cart.
"So, how have you been?" Selene asked curiously, seeing Amy was a little different from the last time. The rest of the way, the two exchanged everything that had happened do far, Amy mentioning nothing about her raping.
"What with that dog of yours?" Selene asked after.
"Oh, I found her straying the streets and Greed let me keep her." Amy said simply, again hiding the fact she was really a chimera. "You know, let me go check on her for a sec. She gets lonely, you know?" Selene nodded and Amy headed to the livestock car of the train.
The girl glances out of the window for a moment. 'I wonder if we're close yet...' she thought dully, until a scream from the next car over caught everyone's attention.
Selene stood up, a gun shot sounded from the next car over, whoever screaming was now silent. A few people next to Selene in their car started getting in a panic mood. Next thing she knew, a couple men wearing dark clothing slid the car door open, holding heavy gun in their hands. "Everyone stay where you are; don't move or we'll shoot!"

And, I gave Sloth a new power. Mind control...so if you don't like that, DEAL. Basically, the victim had to be sucked inside her water body, like how Wrath was captured, After that, she can control them, as long as her water is in their lungs. If she doesn't wish to control that person anymore, she could have someone do CPR and get the water out...or just kill them and don't worry about it.
And one more thing! My grounding is ALMOST OVER! For sure! If I get grounded again...Not my fault...
