Dear Apple Bloom (Guest)
I'm glad you find the story entertaining. Definitely working on more chapters, they are coming I promise!
Dear PuddyKatz
It makes me so happy to hear that you are enjoying the story ^.^! I love their little moments (fantasy or reality. wink wink) The exciting this is, if those moments become something more will they resist? or accept it? Im sorry it takes me so long to update ( v.v') My brain is just like c'mon lets get to the good stuff and I'm like no we can't. were in this spot right now, focus.
Hey sarge1130
It's great to be back! I know the feeling, it's like going through withdrawals (or withLawals. HA! bad pun) but yeah too find myself desperately seeking a fix. I've recently got pintrest, initially to help with a friends wedding but now I'm like PIN ALL THE LAWS! Yes imagination can get quite out of hand sometimes cant it? almost like dreams (hee,hee) :3 and THANK YOU! sleeping beauty was totally what i was going for! lol. oooooohhhhhhhh yes payback is necessary . however it will be difficult when they don't know who the culprit is. Enyo's fire burns for redemption, it was her fault the treasure was stolen (at least that's how she feels). She must get back what was lost.
Dear StarliteOracle
I like that you like :3
Chapter 19 Take Me To Church
The woman and Bear sprinted up the path towards the church
"We're going to be in so much trouble when the captain sees us!" The latter anxiously commented.
A devious smirk played on Enyo's lips. "Then we won't let him see us."
Bepo gave a worried glance to his mischievous crewmate and they continued running. As they need their destination the pair diverted off the tree lined path and into the forest that bordered it. Reaching the church the Pirates stayed in the safety of the foliage while they scoped out the place.
"The coast is clear." (B)
"Let's go." (E)
Emerging from the bushes the duo scuttled across the courtyard, stopping backs against the wall just to the right of the main entrance.
"someone's coming!" Bepo whisper yelled.
Enyo quickly rounded the corner but noticed she was alone, looking back she saw the bear just standing there sweating. She reached around and grabbed his jumpsuit promptly yanking him around the corner just as the others were coming out. She breathed a silent sigh of relief and looked to her companion, though he didn't say it, I'm sorry was written all over his face and they listened as an young man began to speak.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be much help captain, but if we hear anything we'll let you know." Law nodded to the priest and the group began to walk away.
"what's next captain?" Sachi asked.
"We'll meet up with the others in town and go from there." Law replied and they headed off.
"C'mon." Enyo said, and the pair scurried down the side of the building. At about half way they stopped.
"there!" Enyo pointed. One of the stained glass windows was open slightly.
"What about it?" (B)
"That's our way in. How's your climbing skills?" (E)
"What?! All the way up there?! Are you crazy?!" (B)
"I'll take that as not great….. Hmmm…" Enyo brought her hand to her chin in thought. Then snapped her fingers "I've got it!".
Her thick silvery ponytail split into two even parts. The right side coiled around her waist twice and snaked up around her right arm. The other wrapped and fastened itself around Bepo's torso like a harness.
( •_•') "what are you going to do?!" (B)
"Wait and see." (E) ( ^ω^ )
The piratess raised her arm and pointed to the sky.
( ^∇^ ) "Go, Go, Grappling hook!" [PEW!]
The stormy tresses shot up and latched onto a railing above the window.
"Up we go!" ( ^∇^ )
"What - AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
. . .
Two nuns walked peacefully side-by-side down the stone floor of the church. All was quiet until a strange sound whizzed past the window. [ AHHHHhhhhhh….] The sisters gave each other a strange look.
"what was that?"
The other shrugged with a bored expression "The hell if I know."
. . .
Bepo's screaming stopped once they reached the top and Enyo just looked at him while she unraveled her hair from their bodies. ( -_- )
"please control your volume. Once we get inside everything will echo like crazy."
"I'm sorry…"
Enyo's expression eased and she nodded. "okay, let's go."
She pulled back the beautiful window and peaked inside, the area was clear and she climbed through lowering herself down to the small balcony. Bepo followed and the pair looked down to the nave. There wasn't many people, a few worshippers here and there, a couple of nuns walking around but that was it.
"Th-there [sniff]"
"What's wrong Be- [gasp!]" Enyo looked over at her companion to see his nose is running and eyes watering.
"It's the incense isn't it?"
The bear nodded, covering his hypersensitive nose from the strong smells. Suddenly his eyes began to water even more and his head started going back.
"Oh no."
Enyo quickly spun her crewmate around and shoved him out of the window, half in and half out the bear took in a huge breath.
"AHHHH-CHOOO!"
"Good grief." ( V ∇ V )
"Sensei~? why don't you stay here and keep a look out?"
"[sniff], that sounds good"
Enyo returned to have a vantage point while Bepo wriggled back inside, making sure to stay by the fresh air. The priest walked at a leisurely pace but was making A beeline for the left transept of the building. She could just make out a figure hiding in the shadows
'I need to get closer.'
After surveying her options Enyo sent her silky main across the divide and secured it around a support beam. She stepped up onto the stone railing.
"What are you going to do?!" Bepo asked in a panicked whisper.
Turning her head to meet his anxious gaze she smiled
"trust me." ( ^_^ )
and with that Enyo grabbed the slack of her makeshift rope and lept off the edge. She swung jungle style across the void, nearing the other side she tucked her legs in and released her hold on the beam, the hair receded and Enyo landed in a rough commando roll. Bepo couldn't see her and panic began to set in, but within moments she stood up, with a look of surprise that her plan had actually worked.
( OДO!) "YOSH!"
He gave two thumbs up and she nodded. Once the adrenaline had died down Enyo took off up the walkway towards the back.
"Dammit!"
She cursed aloud as she had reached the end to see a large open area underneath the domed roof. She was close enough however to get a better look at the mysterious figure. It was a woman, wearing all black and a string of rosary beads. The only notable feature was her striking yellow eyes.
'you've got to be kidding me…'
...
"She's a fucking nun?!"
Enyo glared down at her attempted murderer, but the woman's golden eyes were fixed on something else.
'The priest. I knew there was something shady about him.'
She watched as they met but could only see their lower halves.
'I'm still too far away!' (_*)
There was no way to pull off the same trick as before, there was nothing to grab onto. The steely tresses looped around the banister and stretched across the empty space, fastening themselves on the other side. Enyo took a deep breath to compose herself.
'It's okay... Just don't look down'
Making sure the "rope" was taught she once again stepped up onto the ledge.
[sigh] "Why did I wear heels today?" ( v_v')
With her arms outstretched for balance Enyo took the first step, her heart was beating so hard and fast she thought it might jump out of her chest. One step at a time she breathed slowly and deeply as she performed her death defying feat. Finally she reached the other side and brought back her locks as quickly as possible then wrapped them around one of the columns. With her back against the cold stone she lowered herself like a spider on silk.
"Good, no one will think to look there."
"Thank you father, but what of the Pirates?"
"Fear not dearest sister. For I have already contacted the marines and they should be here by nightfall."
Enyo's eye widened, 'That's only a few hours away!'
It would seems she had just missed where their treasure was hidden and decided she had herd enough. Rather than waste time the piratess pushed off the column, making a break for the exit.
"What the?!" The nun exclaimed at the sudden appearance of a third party.
Then, recognising the unusual but all too familiar grey hair she gritted her teeth. The golden eyed woman was about to go after the eavesdropper but was stopped. She looked to the priest who had put his arm out and saw the cunning smile on his face. The pair watched as their uninvited guest ran.
…
Bepo watched Enyo's precarious tightrope walk, biting his nails anxiously. He breathed a sigh of relief when she made it to the other side and watched intently as she listened in on the priest and his mysterious partner. Suddenly she bolted from her hiding place towards the exit, knowing it was time to go the bear climbed back out the window and scurried down the facade of the building. Landing with a great thud he ran along the church and met his crew mate at the front, without a word they fled into the forest.
. . .
After about 15 minutes of running the woman and bear stopped for a breather.
"God I'm unfit!" Enyo said as they both panted heavily.
"What happened!?"
Enyo's brow furrowed in anger before she replied.
"He called the marines! They'll be here by nightfall."
"We need to tell the captain!"
"You head back to the sub and I'll go look in town!" She said as she began to run off, but Bepo called after her.
"But I'm supposed to-"
"THERE'S NO TIME!" She shouted, and disappeared from his view.
. . .
Enyo reached the town and the place was packed, she had to squeeze through the crowds and jump just to see over them. In the distance, a fluffy sword hilt belonging to a certain nodatchi stood out above the sea of people. Enyo pushed and shoved her way through, fortunately the crowd thinned out the closer she got and Law's figure began to take shape. She called out over the noise, desperately trying to get his attention. Law heard the shouting and turned to see Enyo struggling to reach him through the mass of bodies. He began to walk over to her but did not get far when someone else shouted loudly.
"There they are men! CAPTURE THE PIRATES!"
Enyo blanched, 'what's going on?! It's not even sundown!"
She turned on her heel to see about thirty marines stampeding towards her through crowd. She was frozen in shock as the soldiers ran…
Right past her and straight towards Law and the others.
