Lunatic Symphony Chapter 2: Likely Story, a tales of symphonia fanfic

CHAPTER 1 – LIKELY STORY

The group of travelers sat across from each other. They were arguing about what they should do about a missing party member. The group was diverse in their own opinion on what to do about it, something that was putting everyone in an irritable state of mind. "She was hired to kill Colette, isn't it obvious? She's going to give away our very location." Raine had always been sure Sheena never intended to give up her job of being an assassin. Colette and Lloyd were in favor of looking for her, while Genis had to side with his sister on this one. Kratos however remained ever vigilante and indifferent giving his best advice.

"In any case, it's best we keep our eyes open. We should get going, and if she wants to be found, we'll find her."

With that he started off from the group, and they reluctantly followed, eventually coming to a clearing. They looked around to see footprints, defiantly made by Sheena. Colette gave a sigh of hope, somewhat relieved that she may still be near by. "I hope she's okay."

Kratos turned to her seemingly surprised by the statement. "Chosen, it is best you heed my warning. Your carefree attitude is a bit annoying and even dangerous."

Colette felt the harshness of the cold words sink in. Lloyd was angered by the comment. "What did you say?"

Kratos came to a much larger footprint. "Calm down Lloyd, and have a look at this." Lloyd gave a deep sigh and made his way to where Kratos was standing. "Does this footprint look like anything you have ever seen before?"

Lloyd looked down, as his foot miserably failed in comparison to the print. "Whoa, this is…huge." The rest of the crew looked down at it. Then Colette heard a moan, a familiar voice. She made her way to the origin of the moan.

She heard what seemed like a painful muffled cry for help. She saw her covered in leaves. It was Sheena, covered in leaves and dirt. She quickly ran to her and knelt before her. "Sheena? Sheena are you alright?" The wounded girl groggily tried lifting herself up. Lloyd ran to Colette to see what was wrong, and helped Sheena up.

"Colette…Lloyd…I…ugh…" She gasped in pain, grabbing her neck. "Ouch…what…?" Lloyd quickly investigated the wound. They were some kind of bite marks, and it seemed what had ever bit her had viciously ripped some of the skin away.

"Professor?"

Raine reluctantly made her way to their presence. "I already know what you're thinking, even though I don't like to waste my magic on scum like her."

Sheena tried speaking back but was too weak to do so. Instead she clenched back at the wound, pained by the burning sensation. Raine decided to go ahead and heal her with what little magic she had developed. Then for extra precaution, bandaged the wounds. "Care to explain what happened?" Lloyd was curious to know, as most of the group but he was the first to announce it.

"I-ugh…last night, I was lost and couldn't find my way back. Then something chased me, and I guess it bit me but…" She was still weak from the event. She had to place her hand on the wound firmly every once in awhile to ease the pain. "And then I…fainted." She finally managed.

Raine was still unconvinced. "Likely story…"

Colette innocently rejected Raine's attitude. "Do you think she'd really do that to herself?"

"It's not like we know anything about her, so I don't know if she would or not."

Then Kratos entered the conversation. "Let us not forget that print."

Later when Colette was alone with Sheena they stared at each other for a moment. Colette blushed, "What is it?"

Sheena quickly turned away. "Oh it's nothing…its just…never mind." Sheena couldn't form the words correctly; her heart was beating too fast for it. Colette gave her a funny look.

"Sheena?"

"Yeah?"

"You don't plan on killing me anymore, do you?"

Sheena thought for a moment.

"Of course not, I know I was an assassin and all but I've come to realize something and your too innocent to kill."

"Why were you trying to kill me in the first place?"

Sheena thought for a moment.

"I…I'll tell you eventually. It's just that right now I…"

"Yeah?"

"I've only just joined this group and all and they don't trust my words." Of course there was another reason why she was having trouble talking to Colette, something she was afraid to talk to her about. They sat together for a while until the group decided to move on. Sheena wasn't feeling too well, something about the bite didn't feel right.

Note: I don't mind reviews, no matter how hurtful it may seem. In reality, I should take criticism as a compliment because it means you were at least interested in reading. So, praise or bash.

Remember you can't hurt my feelings but you sure can help me find out what's wrong with my writing by merely saying, "Man this story sucks, you should totally of not used that noun over that pronoun. Also man, Sheena would never do something like that."

Really, I wouldn't mind that at all. Oh, and I promise in the next chapter, for you horror fans, we'll get to see who the first victim is.
