Chapter Two: Oh why me?
It was starting to pour down and me and the girl were hopping threw a rusty metal hallway and unlatching the prisoners cells. They walked out blinked then followed us to help save the other prisoners. Guards came one by one scared at the swarm of the 4 tailed alliance.
We cut down the remaining guards and then the prisoners ran. I smiled and hopped along behind them. When I stopped. I couldn't return back to the place I once called my home I was now a outlaw. Anyone who had help the 4 tailed alliance was put to death at sight.
I sighed now free yet now caged. I looked down and twisted my right arm. It hurt but was bearable. I looked down towards the city. The prison was in the middle (that's were we were standing.) on top of a hill. Then the city echoed around. It was a gloomy day. Rain pouring down and mixing with the blood. My once red hair had turned back to its normal brown.
I shivered as a cold hand touched my shoulder. I slowly turned. Looking into my eyes was the girl her white hair now soaked hanged freely from her face. She had found her bow and not in was strapped to her back. She smiled and held out her hand once again and said. "Hi I'm Iggy." She smiled as I took her hand.
"Iggy hu?" I thought I had heard that name before but where? "Well Iggy I'm Meka. Nice to meet you." I smiled back to her.
"So what's s the problem?" She asked and I wondered how she knew there was a I look that hopeless? "Problem what problem?"I asked. She rolled her eyes.
"Come on no one would just sit down on a bloody floor. If there hadn't been something on their mind." She looked down into my eyes with a look which made me wanna believe her.
"Well..." I started.
"Yea?"She said her voice cool like ice.
"Well I don't know where to go. I was a thief in the town I didn't have a home. Except the streets. I have no home to return to andno where to go."I say.
"Mnmm why don't you just join us it will be easier. Plus those if you were a thief you must be able to have skills.."Said Iggy.
I thought about it then said "join the 4 tailed alliance? Me? I would nev- ok I see your point I'm in." She looked and me and smiled then looked away and I could tell it was to stop herself from laughing.
I looked up as the sky cried it's tears. I sighed feeling the heavy pitter patter of rain on my face.
It had been two weeks since I joined the 4 tailed alliance. Since I left with them they moved south to a town? Built just for themselves. I had been allowed to stay there if I joined them which I did. Sadly that meant getting a tattoo of a lion with 4 tails on the side of your neck. Nowadays not that painful. So there I was sitting in a chair reading a book. (Well trying to) anyway.
When someone knocked on the door and I'm not talking soft knock like hey I'm out here. I'm talking like let me in now! So I hopped of the bed I was sitting at and walked over to the heavy wooden door. It swung open before I had even walked half way across the room. A strange girl with red hair and orange eyes walked over behind her was Iggy. I was wearing my usual rags while Iggy was wearing a hoodie with some jeans. The chick hand short hair down to her shoulder. She was wearing a dress made out of armour. It started with a shoulder blades then moved to cloth. With ended really short. Her legs were very overpowered it was stacked with muscles her arms on the other had were normal. I looked at her and quickly decided she could not be trusted. I looked up at Iggy and smiled and she smiled back. "Meka nice to see you healing. How are you doing?" She asked with a voice I didn't know was there something on her mind? I had no clue. "Umm... Well I'm going good you know reading." I said holding up the book with my good hand.
"That's great well let's cut to the point. This" She stopped to motion at the girl who did not want to be there. "Is a Surdia (one of the 8 kingdoms) warrior." She said. I looked at her with a confused look.
" Surdia warrior are really just normal people just ranked a little higher." Said Iggy. I rolled my eyes.
"I already know that what I want to know is what she is doing here?" I asked looking in her direction. She looked at me as i did her we locked eyes and she straightened her back. " Are you the one the elders call a blue blood?" She asked. The news hit me like a baseball it had only been 2 weeks and news of my blue blood had already spread. That was fast.
"I have red blood it just... I just..." I looked at the ground not knowing
what to say. As I looked up the girl was on her knees to me head down her hand upright as she was holding a dagger. I stepped back as she spoke. "Miss Melaka, my name is Wildflower, warrior of the two daggers. I have been sent back from my tribe by the great elders. I have little knowledge of your kind by know I was sent here to protect the blue blood with my life you are the key in a child tale and the hope to the past. So Miss Melaka I want to swear to be your guard ,your maid ,your slave and your friend I wish to do right by my people please help us make up to your race it is our fault your race is almost dead." She spoke quick but quietly. I stared as her words struck me like knifes. Blood blue race? Almost dead, key? What the hell is going on here!?
"Wild? Flower? What is this talk so I'm not human then what am I? And I'm a key now? What and two daggers?! Should I be scared? Or confused? I didn't know and did she say she came from Suda?" I asked
She hopped up she was a inch shorter then me. I was about to look away when she smiled. "Miss Melaka I'm from Surdia. Kingdom made to make warriors. It was there I was raised. I am most best with dagger yet well trained with sword and bow. guns I am hopeless." She admitted. I glanced up to Iggy who shrugged.
"Why me?" I said glancing towards her. Now that I looked closer I could tell she had a dagger strapped to her arm. Another strapped to her leg. She also hand a belt containing a sword, a bow on her bank, a slingshot also on the belt and a small circular container on her belt this I knew. "Hey I have one of those!" I said fishing the same dagger out of my boot the blade wasn't showing but it still looked
pretty.
Iggy gave me a death stare and I shrugged. While Wildflower stared at it with an expression less face. "Miss Melaka, can I touch it?" She asked and I nodded passing it over to her. Her hands scanned the dagger then she breathed in and the blade came out. She looked up. As I said "hey how do you do that?" Then she cut me off.
"One of the six jewelled blades. Miss Melaka where did you it?" She asked as she brought hers out. Hers was just like mine except without Ruby's and with emeralds instead. "I took it from the man who almost killed me it look cooled so I..." I stopped my words at Iggy opened her mouth. "So you stole? Why on earth would you steal?!" Asked Iggy.
"I did it because I might need money plus you forget that I once was a thief myself?" I asked.
"Once? This was two weeks ago? Replied Iggy with a sense of amusement. I shrugged and Wildflower smiled. "Thief?" She said. While me and Iggy ignored her I shrugged. "I have put that behind me." Iggy rolled her eyes but other wise smiled.
"We cannot fix what is in the past."Said Wildflower
I smiled as she handed back my dagger. I went to bend down and put it into my boot as Wildflower
stopped me. I looked up and got to my feet as Wild flower searched threw her bag for something. I looked away to the knife.
I scanned over the Ruby's then looked back to Wildflower she was handing me a knife holder to do on my arm. I smiled and gave her a you sure look with she returned with a simple nod. I took it and smiled. I scrapped it to my arm and looked as I carefully placed it into the holder. I shined against my rags with seemed to hang of my small firm body.
"Miss?" Asked Wildflower.
"Yea Wildflower? Or can I just call you flower?" I asked.
"You may call me whatever you like Wildflower is just a title.'I wanted to see if you will let me swear to be your warrior?" She said.
I thought about what to say. She was strange with a strange name, but knew more about me than I did herself. Plus she could provide useful.
"Well... ? Petal? Well any way do you what that?" I asked.
She answered without hesitation "Yes Miss Melaka."
I stared at her then looked back at Iggy. She smiled and nodded and I sighed "Wildflower, warrior of the two daggers I would be proud to let you swear to me but only if you truly wish." I when to continue but my voice trailed off.
She bowed down and drew her dagger. "Well then Miss Melaka I swear to always be there and protect you and teach you until death do we part." And with that she slashed down her hand with her blade. I swayed on my feet at the sight of blood. She on the over hand showed no sigh of pain. She simply stood up wrapped her hand up with a bandage Iggy gave her and retrieved a small box out of her pack. She bowed a low bow then stood up straight. Her hand passed the box into my hands. "A gifts only your race can use I believe it will have a great importance to you."She said.
Iggy glanced down with a worried glance. But kept silent. I opened the box there was a token. Made from silver around the edges coated with gold. And in the middle a symbol of zombie like human stood. It was a simple drawing. I smiled at Wildflower then bent to pick it up I scooped it up with my hand and went to thank Wildflower. When the damn thing started to glow.
"Arrhhh!" I said shock as the thing twisted and clicked into a new shape. The shape of a ring which would perfectly fit on my finger. It still was silver coated with gold along the edges. The Zombie like picture on the front was different is was in a different position it was now smiling.
I looked up at Wildflower who was looking sat into my eyes. "So you truly are a blue blood. A wielder." She stared as if she was in the presence of an angel then smiled. I looked at the weird ring it was still giving a low glow. "Put it on, trust me. It will look great." She looked down at the ring and smiled. I grimaced but pick up the ring and slip in on to my ring finger. A great blue light sparked. It blinded me Wildflower and Iggy sending us sprawling on the ground. Then light left as quick as it came I cried out and got to my feet. I tried to tug off the ring it didn't move. I stared in horror at the new ring forever attached to my finger. I glared at the ring when the lights in the room flickered and a shadow of a creature dashed across the room. I backed away from the sound and heard an evil laugh it crackled. I looked at Iggy who had her hand on her dagger. While Wildflower remained completely calm. I shivered as it retreated into the night.
"What the hell what's that
!" Iggy said wearily. I shivered the thing had scared me half to death. "It okay Miss Melaka it is gone now you are safe with we." Said Wildflower to me as she narrowly dodged Iggy question and was now being glared at. I sat on the bed and this is how it went down.
"What. Was. That. Thing. Wildflower!?" Asked Iggy again.
"It is classified all I can tell you is that it is not a foe." Replied Wildflower running her fingers along her dagger.
"Who are you?" Demanded Iggy.
"I am Wildflower, master..."Wildflower started but Iggy cut her off.
"No what really is your real name?" Asked Iggy.
"That is my name." Replied Wildflower.
"No really cut the crud!" Said Iggy.
"Fine, my real name is Mimi daughter of the warrior Sino. My warrior name is Wildflower but truly I was sent here to protect Miss Melaka." She bowed to me and I smiled.
"Then what's a wielder or that weird ring that Meka can't take off. Answer me dang it!" Snapped Iggy.
"A wielder? Classified. But that ring was something that could only be put on and used by one very powerful indeed yet classified. Now who is in charge here I want 4 more guards to protect Miss Melaka." Said Mimi.
I shrugged and snuggled down in bed slowly falling asleep to Mimi and Iggy fighting.
