...and so it begins right after Cliff, Albel, and Nel ran to Peterny with the sickly Fayt.
"IT'S NOT FAIR!" Sophia screamed. She stomped around the tent, picking up her things and cramming them into her bag. She then threw the pack through the flap (that almost rhymes!) and rolled up the sleeping bags, flinging them out of the tent, narrowly missing Maria.
"What's the matter?" Maria asked, though she didn't seem to really care. She just knew that if you listened to Sophia whine a bit, after a while, she'll calm down, with a bit of luck that is.
"Why couldn't I go with Fayt! I've known him the longest and I care for him the most, so why couldn't I go with my Fayt! It's just not fair!1" she shouted in reply. Sophia climbed out of the tent and kicked it down.
"Careful! You'll wreak it!" Mirage snapped. SHe walked over to the abused tent, rolled it up neatly, and put it onto the cart that they had bought from a farmer who had just passed by for about 3,500 fol, pretty cheap, sinced each member of their group had atleast 5000 fol on them. Mainly for exspenses that the Queen of Aquaria had thought were needed.
Maria placed a reasurring hand on Sophia's shoulder. "Calm down. There's a good reason why you couldn't go with them."
"Oh, yeah? Well then what is it!"
"If you would have went with Fayt, you would have slowed them down."
"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN? HOW WOULD I HAVE SLOWED THEM DOWN!" she shrieked, pulling away rather forcefully from Maria, turning to face her as if she was an enraged bull preparing to charge.
"Here look at this," Maria opened her communicator, pressed a few buttons, and handed it to Sophia. Sophia stared at for a few moments, then handed it back to Maria.
"What is that chart supposed to be?"
"It's all of our speed parameters," she pointed to the tallest lines, "The fastest people in our group in order are Albel, cliff, and Fayt but since Nel knows a professional doctor, she went with them. Now look at this." She pressed another button and pointed at the shortest line, it was much shorter then the others. "This is your line, as you can see, it's the shortest line, no offence. That means that you're the slowest member of our group, by distance traveled per hour."
"I DON'T CARE! I still should have went! He's the only person I have left!"
"But your father is still alive."
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER-"
Maria slapped Sophia so hard that her own hand stung from the impact. Sophia glared at her and noticed tears forming at the corners of Maria's eyes.
"How dare you say that! How can you not care that your father is still alive just because you're blinded by the fact that you can't be with someone else! I'd give anything, my power,my freedom, even my very life to see my parents alive again. But you, you still have your father to see, and yet you're to stupid to realise that he might be gone the next moment!" Maria shouted at Sophia, her voice cracking every now and then. She turned sharply and headed back over to Mirage, who was staring at Sophia's blank face. Mirage then tried to comfort Maria then turned to glare at Sophia before returning back to pick up the items they had packed and placed them on the cart as well.
Fuming, Sophia grabbed her bag and stomped down the path that led to Peterny.
"Are you angry?" said a voice inside of her head. She stopped and looked around, seeing no one.
"Who the heck are you? Are you a friend of Blair? she asked out loud, causing a few passerbys to stare at her, then hastely walk away, avoiding eye contact.
"Just call me Dueno, and in a sense, yes, I'm a friend of Blair. Now I'll repeat my question. Are you angry?" said the voice in a soothing way.
"Of course I'm angry! First my Fayt ran away from me last night, then he spent the night with that crazy sadistic Albel doing who knows what, AND THEN, he gets really sick, so the group decide to take him to Peterny to see a doctor, but they said I couldn't go because I'm too slow, and THEN I got slapped by Maria just because I said that I'd rather be with Fayt then my own father! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! Why would they keep me from the person I love! ARGH!" she relayed angrily to Dueno, she began to walk at a brisk pace as she sensed Maria and Mirage approaching her.
"Perhaps they want Fayt for them selves." Dueno said in Sophia's mind.
"All of them?"
"No, not all of them, just Albel."
"Why Albel? HE doesn't seem to want anybody. And he always calls people mean things like 'worm' or 'maggot'."
"Well think about it, who does he treat with even the tiniest shread of respect?"
"Fayt?"
"Correct. Who wanted to go find Fayt?"
"Albel?"
"Yes, and who got Fayt sick?"
"Albel!"
"Also correct. Who carried Fayt back and was determined to go with Fayt to Peterny and not have you go?"
"ALBEL!" Sophia shouted outloud, she practiclly broke into a run."THAT LOWDOWN, DIRTY, ROTTEN, SLIMEY, BOYFRIEND STEALING, SADISITC, HOMOCIDAL, MEANIE!"
"Uh, 'meanie'?" Dueno questioned. Sophia could see a pair of eyes rolling in her mind, then the serious tone returned. "Don't you just wisht that you could get Fayt back? Don't you just wish that Albel would just disappear so you wouldn't have to worry about YOUR Fayt? You'd have him all too yourself, and I can help."
"Can you really do that? How would you help me?"
"I'm a stratigest."
"A what?"
"A S-T-R-A-T-I-G-E-S-T you silly girl! A person who makes plans. I could make a brilliant plot to seperate Albel from Fayt permently..." he chuckled, quite evily if pointed out, but to Sophia, all she could think about is all the things she could do with Fayt once Albel was out of the picture. Then she put a finger up to her mouth and thought a bit, slowing down her pace.
"Plans, huh? And what would you want in return for helping me?"
"I just want your help when the time is right. Now, do we have a deal?"
"You becha!" she mentally shook Dueno's hand and they both began to plot deviously until Sophia had reached Peterny. She raced for the inn, banishing Dueno from her mind for the time being and burst through the inn's frount door. Thereafter she ran up to the recetionst desk and demanded to know where Fayt was. She got the number and ran down the hallway, screaming, "OH, WHERE'S MY FAYTIE POO? I NEED HIM! WAHHHHHH! WHERE IS HE! FAYT, I'M COMMING!" Before she could reach him, she was grabbed by Nel and Cliff and dragged out of the inn.
"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! GET OFF ME!" Sophia screeched. Nel made a mental note to pay the inn's proprieter handsomly when she returned as an apoligy for all the racket. They dragged a screaming Sophia all the way to the northen gate...
to be contiuned...

I had lots of fun writing this chapter and i think i typed it up pretty fast, though i had less motivation as usually, mid terms are a real drag... if there are any mistakes, please inform us and they will be fixed by either of us eventually. We just wanted to know, which of us writes better. Personally, i think our writing styles are sorta the same, because we've been around each other for so long. Please review, or give me a cookie, no really, i like cookies... Peace out!- taco
