This is my third chapter. It doesn't end on chapter two just to tell anyone who thought it did. The theme song for this one if japanese but you can easily figure out what it means just by hearing the english lyrics.
Theme song: Be your girl, Elfen Lied ending song
"LIGHTNING!"

Silver gasped and snapped her eyes open. What's going on? The cliff was completely empty except for her. She looked down.

Cutter and Max were standing below the cliff and fighting off stumps.

"Did you sleep well?" Cutter mocked, "You practically woke up two hours after us."

Silver climbed down the rope quickly, "Well…I guess I'm used to sleeping in the wilderness."

"Or maybe it was that warm red bean soup Cutter gave you." Max smirked as he laughed that. He immediately slapped a hand over his mouth.

"You were spying on us!" Silver barked.

"It isn't really considered spying when you talk while you know that I was sleeping right behind you." Max retorted, "Let's go to a dungeon or something. I'm bored."

Silver strapped on her garnier, "Okay,"

Max looked at Silver, "You really should get back to a city. The dungeon is pretty hard and you could get really hurt."

"Don't worry." Cutter smiled, "I'll protect you." He stared deeply into her eyes.

"Thanks," Silver smiled and touched her elbow with on arm.

Max glanced at both of them over and over again. I feel like the third wheel. He pointed towards a wooden door, "Let's get a move on."

Cutter pushed the door open and slowly walked in. He had his sword drawn in front of him. Max held his staff out in front of him like a golf club. He murmured spells to himself so he was ready to attack anything that appeared.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Silver held onto her shuriken tightly.

They all slowly crept to the opening at the far end. Max brushed away the vines that blocked their way. They entered a swamp-like land.

"Now that wasn't so hard…" Max chuckled as sweat dripped down his face, "You guys were so scared. Heh, heh-heh,"

"None of us were scared." Cutter sneered, "What could we be scared of? There's nothing that can sc…" His words were muffled out as an octopus wrapped its tentacles around his neck and mouth.

"Cutter," Silver gasped as she drew her shuriken.

Max lifted his staff, "I'll handle it! Light—"

"No!" Silver stopped him, "If you use lightning, you'll hurt Cutter too!"

Max lowered his staff, "You're right."

Silver took her shuriken, "Let me try!" She lifted her shuriken and threw them at the octopus.

A whole tribe of octopus suddenly rose from the ground. They headed towards them slowly.

"I'll get them!" Max summoned his magic, "Fire!" He burned the octopuses on the spot, "Go get Cutter!"

Silver nodded and climbed up the grassy cliff.

Cutter was trapped tightly in the coils of the octopus. His sword had been wrestled out of his hand by the octopus. He reached his arm out even though his body was practically being ingested by the octopus.

Silver grabbed his arm and took out her zamadar, "Hold on!" She took her zamadar and stabbed the head of the octopus repeatedly.

The octopus threw Cutter toward the edge of the cliff and lunged for Silver. Cutter rolled down the cliff and clung onto the edge. She took her zamadar and fended it away.

Silver won't last that long and Max is busy fighting the others. Why are there so many? The soft ground his hand clung onto began to crumble, "Crap,"

Silver was whipped back by the octopus. She slid towards Cutter's sword. She looked at it.I can't beat it. But why? She grabbed Cutter's sword and threw it to the edge of the cliff, "Cutter!"

The sword stabbed into a piece of solid ground close to Cutter.

"Hold on!" Cutter reached for the sword. His fingers came in contact with the hilt but before he could grasp it firmly, the ground he clung onto broke, "Crap!"

"Cutter!" Silver ran towards him. She drew her shuriken, "Don't follow me!" She hurled it at the octopus.

Max looked at the cliff. That was Silver! The octopus kept lunging at him, "Grr," He turned to them and summoned his magic, "Why are there so many of you?" He fired his magic at them continuously.

Silver clung onto Cutter's arm, "I'll bring you up." She pushed her other arm against the ground so he would be pulled up.

Cutter took his other arm and grabbed the sword hilt, "Where's the octopus?"

"I blinded one of its eyes." She replied smiling. She pulled him up, "Are you okay?"

Cutter placed his sword into his hilt, "All but my pride," He looked down, "I can't believe I couldn't kill it."

There was a hissing sound originating from the octopus. It hovered towards them with anger.

Cutter's grip tightened on his sword and Silver's grip tightened on her zamadar. They both attacked the octopus at the same time.

Max climbed up the cliff. He slipped on the soft dirt. Now I remember why I hate octopuses. Every time it's their mating season, the ground gets all wet because their babies shed their skin!

Silver and Cutter stood with their weapons drawn. Chunks of the octopus lay around them. A small omok octopus piece lay in the chunks.

"I guess we get some prize for winning." Cutter picked it up. He turned to Silver, "This is my gift to you."

Silver took it, "I killed the monster. How is this your gift?"

"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have killed it." Cutter bragged, "I am the stronger one."

"I'm the one who saved you from falling off the cliff." Silver reminded.

Cutter waved his finger in her face, "Nope. I saved you when we first met."

"You would be octopus food right now! I saved you twice!" Silver smiled, "I defeated the monster so this is my spoil of victory so it can't be your gift!"

"How about this for a gift?" Cutter whispered quietly as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her body against his own, "What do you think?"

Silver flushed and closed her eyes, "It feels…nice…"

Max finally climbed up the cliff. He had dirt all over his clothing, "How are you guys doing?" He looked at them, "Am I interrupting on something?"


Max is the best to write as since he's the funny guy of the story. Please R & R
