Yay I have 48 reviews! I'm so happy (this doesn't mean you can Stop lol) thanks its really encouraging to have a well received story.
Its still awhile to go till this fics done though (at least 3 chapters…that's a lot for me)
You may or may not have noticed the summary to the fic has been change, the plot of the story is kinda different (don't worry its still Haru/Elie, you guys would probably KILL me if I changed it to… I don't know Griff/Elie lol I do have the power ;)
Enjoy!
Oh and there was a question about why this story is called "the Cave" even though they aren't in a cave…be patient the cave is coming soon.
The Return to Camp Part 3
Musica's return
I'm sorry Haru
Sheets of rain fell from the dark sky, through the trees Elie gently swayed, her progress was slow, but with no one following her (she made sure of that) it was still progress.
One foot in front of the other
The rain pieced Elie's skin with every ice cold drop which fell from the sky, but still Elie moved on. Her slow laboured walking continued until early dawn.
Shit, that hurts Haru hand darted to his head, he felt a large lump under his finger she hit me!
"I see your finally awake I've been trying to wake you for an hour, care to tell me what happened?"
"Musica? When did you get back?"
"About an hour ago like I said, I'm guessing you've been out for a couple of hours, what happened where is Elie?"
"She left…" Haru trailed off, he was still trying to believe it
"She was kidnapped? by who!"
"No! she ran away, I was holding her and….well yea" Haru blushed slightly
"I never saw that coming" replied Musica with a quizzical look on his face
"You think I did! Something is wrong, she knocked ME out." Came an undignified wine from Haru
"Well obviously that conclusion doesn't involve brain science" was Musica's exasperated reply
"I don't need this right now Musica" snarled Haru
"Sure you don't, what do you need then I'm not going to kiss your boo boo and make it better."
"Musica shut up!" Haru yelled, why is he being such a jerk?
"Why? You just got hit knocked out by a girl, you're the rave master!"
"But its Elie, how could she hit me?" he sighed, it just didn't make sense
"Maybe she met someone new and you holding her just repulsed her" mused Musica
"No!" screamed Haru causing Musica to take a step back "Elie would never do that, stop being an ass Musica."
"Well are you going to sit here feeling sorry for yourself or go find her before something happens to her, like getting frost bite from this weather, or until she meets someone else to travel with."
"Of course I'm going to go find her, and you know she wouldn't go off with anyone else"
"Are you sure? Well then maybe you should get up, and put some shoes on and go find Elie"
"You could help" spat Haru
"I think you two have some things to work out, anyway I've been walking non stop for a day, I was worried about Elie, next time remind me to be worried about you. Also she managed to do what many have tried to do, she beat you in combat(sorta)"
"Musica" Haru hissed through gritted teeth
"Yes Haru?" quipped Musica innocently
"You better hope Elie is ok"
"And whys that?" mocked Musica
"Because if she is hurt I'm going to need to take my anger out on someone and your probably
closest."
"I take it we'll have our rematch then."
"Your on!"
Haru pivoted on his feet and ran out of the camp, knowing Elie had a head start, but also that the cold and rain would slow her down.
Musica knew this was an empty threat, he hadn't meant half of what he had said to Haru, but now Haru was worked up and he always more determined when there was a sense of urgency especially when Elie was concerned. The one though that was playing on his mind though was that:
Elie actually hit Haru, with the butt of her tonfa blaster no less (the cylindrical tube mark was unmistakable), those two stick together through anything and now this! I think I would be less worried if Elie had been kidnapped because then at least we would know she wanted rescuing, but why would she leave? In a thunderstorm, with no food, and not enough to wear (not that she usually wore lots anyway)
You better find her Haru, otherwise you are going to have to deal with me, or worse yet your guilt.
Musica knew Haru could deal with this alone, and Haru would probably just take out his anger on him and regret it later
You do strange things when you are in love. But knocking out your boyfriend (not yet anyway ;) that was something new.
Elie would never go off with someone else, we've been through to much together…arhg Muscia why are you plating things in my head!
The moon had been covered by the thick rain clouds; the forest was pitch black apart from the few cracks of light which would appear through the clouds
Elie…why? Why did she run away? Was it the voices, did she really want to leave.
"I'll probably lose you and it will be my fault" the words flew through his head, she doesn't want me to be hurt because of her anymore…but why I would never hesitate to protect her its my choice to jump in the line of fire, its not her fault…but it looks like it, Shuda, Seig hart, the monsters, Haru your so stupid you shouldn't have let go of her, you can wield the Decca force sword but you cant hold onto the most precious thing in your life.
The war continued in Haru's head, every possible thing he had done wrong to make Elie feel responsible for hurting him. The weather, the braches scraping his face, his throbbing head, it all melted away, it didn't matter anymore, he just knew one thing he needed to find Elie. It was getting colder, and she was alone.
And so was he.
Continued in the next chapter…the Cave
Oh and griff and plue are asleep that's why they aren't there, before someone asks lol
