Chapter 7
The Mysterious Voice

Toboe becomes more curious as this voice was still calling him. He scooped Rikku in his arms and followed the voices. He was lead deep into a cavern. At this point, he set Rikku down, and followed the voice. It seemed to be telling him which way to go, as if it wanted him to find the owner of the voice. Many twist and turns later, he found himself quite lost in a maze of rocks. The voice had stopped. Toboe looked around, trying to remember which way he came from. He tried to work his way back to Rikku, but it seemed like he was going in circles. I hope that Rikku's okay, he thought to himself. He sat against a wall, his knees pulled up to his chest. He then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Rikku woke up in a metal cage. She scanned the area to see if Toboe or anyone else she knew was there. There was someone there that looked somewhat familiar. He had a dark hooded cloak that reached to floor. There was something about him that was eerie and evil. He approached Rikku and set his hand on top of the cage.

"Well, what do we have here?" the strange man said. His voice was deep and creepy. "What are you…………scared?" his comment sent waves of fear down her spine. "You put us on quite a hunt young lady. We've been worried, wondering if your okay." He slowly took his hood off, revealing his young face.

"HENRY! It…it's you. WHAT SO YOU WANT!" she screamed as she grabbed the bars from her prison.

"I know that you're pregnant, and that your children will become mine. They will be the ruler of everything evil in this world. And there is nothing you can do to prevent me from doing this."

"NO! Leave me alone!" She struggled to get out of her confinement. "Let me out! I want to…to…to see Toboe!" There was an awkward pause and a puzzled look on Henry's face. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!"

He paced back and forth in front of her, stops and kneels down. "Nothing…….yet."

"Leave him out of this! Please…..don't…..don't hurt him." She fell limp, tears falling off her face. "What do you want from me?" her voice slow and demanding.
