A Psychologist Day And Life
Chapter Fifteen: Going Unto The Battlefield
I am one sick son of a bi- Uh...moving on.
Thinking about the torment of Joshua was awful and cruel. But hey, he deserved it, right? Amor followed Azmaria everywhere that moment on and by the time I found him, he was watching Azmaria put away the dishes.
"Anything interesting?" I asked Amor. He shook his head.
"Nope not yet. When can I go?"
"Okay...I suppose that talk between Rosette and Azzy was just-" Then I stopped.
"What's wrong?" Asked my concerned brother. He followed my eyes. Azmaria was looking around to see if nobody was watching her. Then she made her way to the living room. Closely following her, we found out that she was going to call someone.
"Who she calling?" I asked myself.
"One guess..." Amor mumbled. Then we heard Azmaria mumbled, "New York Branch, please." We then knew what was her intent. We crept behind the couch.
Amor then let out in a loud voice, "SNITCH!" I swear, Azmaria jumped about two feet in the air. Quickly Amor grabbed the phone and glared at the Apostle.
"Amor, take it easy," I said to him. However he was in no mood.
"So that's it...you betrayed us..."
"I...I..." was all she could say.
"I thought you were our friend."
"It...I...was"
"Then what were you doing? CALLING THE SHOPPING NETWORK!" Azmaria blinked. She blinked again. Her eyes watered, then she started to whimper which turned into a bawl.
"Amor, you can be a real fuckhead sometimes."
He raised his hands, "I am angry and pissed off! She betrayed us! And you call me a fuckhead..."
"But that doesn't give you the right to have to take it out on the girl!" Amor made a grunt. I sat beside Azmaria.
"It's okay. My mean brother is gone now. Don't cry." I motioned Amor to get out of the room, which he did.
"Rosette asked me to call the Order," she said, cracked voice and all.
"What made you agree with her?"
"She was my friend. She asked me to do it."
"She asked you?"
"Yes. I knew you didn't want me to but then-"
"That's enough. It's okay, we forgive you."
"But what about your-"
"I'll talk to him. Soon you two will be friends again." She gave a smile and left. I knew who to talk to. I found Rosette on the balcony. With the face I had on, it only took Rosette two seconds before realizing what was going on.
"Your little revenge plan backfired on you."
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said, not looking at me.
"Like you wouldn't know. Cut the crap kid, why did you do it?"
"I had to tell the Order about this. We need help."
"These aren't your run-of the mill demons we're talking about. These guys can destroy us in seconds if we're not careful."
"With the Order, we can defeat these monsters quickly."
"Size does not equal strength. Besides projectiles have no effect on them and barriers take too long to set up. The Order is completely useless. The best thing they can do is clean up after the battle."
"You're making a big mistake not letting the Order in on this."
Then I realized why she was doing this. "And you're making the mistake of letting your emotions run your judgment."
"What? What do you mean?"
"The Sinners have Joshua, right? The possibilities of Joshua being there are high. You figure that the Order have enough firepower to blow them to kingdom come and you can rescue Joshua without incident. Get real. You haven't thought about the drawbacks through that plan. That's the kind of thinking that will get you killed."
Then I had the feeling that Rosette was angered by the things that we're said. She was about to say something when suddenly Steiner came in.
"Excuse me sir...oh...am I interrupting something?"
"No. You're just in time. We can finish our talk later, Rosette." She was grinding her teeth.
"Your brother is asking for your immediate presence."
"Fine," I said to him. I went down to see Amor preparing the car.
"What's going on?" I asked him.
"Oh, I was just wondering how did the talk with Azmaria go. See if she took your approach better than mine."
"She did. She didn't like the fact that you were screaming in her face. She fears you."
"She fears me eh..."
"No Amor, that's a bad thing. I want you to apologize to her. She's really sorry."
"Like I'm going to apologize to her."
"Are you knocking off Azzy? Are you? You hate her that much?"
"No, she just annoys me. I don't hate her."
"Sure...whatever you say."
Just then Rosette and the others came out. Azmaria was with them.
"Hold up," I said to her. "Your not coming, I'm sorry."
Azmaria looked at me and asked, "why?"
Now there are the options of telling her that she was completely useless and not worth coming with us. That would be rude, wouldn't it? She is after all a little 12-year old girl.
"Azzy, I got a special job for you. I want you to stay here and keep Steiner company. You know, prepare a dinner after today's battle."
She looked at me with her big eyes. "Why can't I...?" I could tell that Azmaria was begging me to bring her along. I stood firm, however.
"Do this for me? Please?" She looked at me and then nodded her head with a smile. As she made her way back into the house, Rosette questioned me.
"Why did you send her back?"
"Because she was...tired...she needed her rest."
"Oh puh-ease! You didn't want her here, didn't you!"
Satella then intervened. Believe me, I was surprised because I thought of her being a selfish, stuck-up bitch. "Rosette, stop talking and get in the car." Rosette grunted at me and then made her way into the car.
Satella turned to me, "we still have the car seat problem." I then realized that two of us had to sit on top of the car again. This time, I volunteered to be with Amor.
"WHY AM I ON TOP OF THE CAR AGAIN?" Amor whined.
"SHUT UP!" Rosette yelled back. Amor mumbled, "evil, demonic banshee."
"Anyways," I asked him, "why do you hate Azzy?" He looked at me funny.
"Why do you ask such a question?"
"Well...your thoughts matter."
(A/N: MisoGirl, this is for you! For the rest of you Azmaria fans, please disregard...)
"The Azzy thing?...She just pisses me off. She's the only person that annoys me."
"Besides from yourself?"
Then he began to mock Azmaria. "'My Mommy and Daddy died, and my relatives hate me. No-one ever loved me!' Boo-friken-hoo! She has it so much worse than the 300 kids that just died to starvation and poor heath!"
"You're being too rough on her."
"Your opinion doesn't matter." Little did we know that the people at the bottom of the car got hold of Amor's little speech.
"I can't believe that he just said that," Chrono mumbled after a while.
Rosette responded to this, "Don't be surprised. That's the kind of thing you can expect from that kind of guy."
"Do you hate him?" Chrono asked. Rosette shrugged.
"He just annoys me, that's all."
The car sped off and with it the people awaiting the upcoming battle.
So what next? You'll just have to look forward to the next chapter. Anyways, please R&R.
