Mad Hatter Tea Party
Chapter Five
"Why are we running again?" Xin Yami pants as the two girls were trying to bolt out of the castle again.
The first time was during the trip to Alfeegi office but Kai-Stern and Rath was blocking our escape. Rath was suspicious, probably got some suggestions from Cesia about us being 'demons'. The second time we kinda jumped out the window when Alfeegi asked about our family business, business partners, and our last name, thankfully it was on the second not third floor, we did it because Hi Rai was annoyed about the questions. Yeah, we got caught 'cause we landed on a couple of dragon officer-staff-guards, and brought us back.
"We're running because if we stay, we l have to talk to ALFEEGI! Where have you been for the past five hours? If we're caught he'll make us tell him our plan," Hi Rai pants as she grabs her sisters arm dragging her so she'll run faster.
"What plan? I remember no plan?"
"Are you serious? Pleaase tell me your not," Hi Rai stops, a look of sheer panic plastered to her face.
"Seriously," Xin Yami says bending at her waist, gasping for air. "What plan?"
Is she really that dumb? Luna asks
It would seem that way. "Okay," Hi Rai starts, sitting her sister down so she could talk to like a teacher in a classroom. "It goes like this . . ."
And Hi Rai retells the events leading up to just about five seconds ago.
"And now, before you forgot, we were currently running from Afeegi's minions, that are currently closing in on us. So now we have to run." With that Hi Rai and Xin Yami sprint from the bench and jump through the bushes, only to run into and topple the great Afeegi himself.
"Shit." Hi Rai mutters, lowering her lashes only when Afeegi glared at her, while he brushed himself off with his hands.
"Take these two back to my office," he directed the guards, "I'll be there shortly." And watched while Hi Rai and Xin Yami being dragged kicking and screaming back to his office.
Afeegi rubbed his head, a headache gaining intensity with every minute he had to sit with those two. "What am I going to do?"
"Having trouble Alfeegi?" a voice asks from behind the mint green haired man.
Afeegi spins around, yet relaxes when he see its just Lord Lykouleon smiling childishly at him.
"Oh, my lord, it's just you. What are you doing here?"
Lord Lykouleon shrugs and scratches his head, "Oh, nothing, just watching the excitement from afar. Seems like those two are given you a run for your money, Afeegi. I thought you were better."
"I am, or I thought I was," Afeegi says, "but I don't know what it is about those girls that make me just want to strangle them until their beady little eyes pop out of their heads." Afeegi exasperates.
Lord Lykouleon's eyes widen, "Why Afeegi, I never would have thought I hear that kind of language from you. Let's go up to your office and I'll have a chat with them, to see if I can get anywhere." He says patting Afeegi on back, and leading him back towards the castle.
"No way. I'm not saying a word. Uh-huh," Hi Rai says shaking her head because that's the only thing that's not tied down.
"Come on now Din, be a good little girl and tell me your name. Your real name." Lord Lykouleon adds before Xin Yami could say something.
"First of all," Hi Rai starts, "I'm not a little girl, and two I don't have to tell you anything you big fat meany! Me and Xin Yami are here to steal the Fire and Water dragons and there's nothing you can do about it, so HA!" Xin Yami bows her head in utter defeat, as Afeegi's eyes pop out of his head, and Lord Lykouleon has a look of an indescribable nature.
BAKA!! You BIG BAKA!!!! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!! NOW WE'RE IN FOR IT, WE'RE GOING TO DIE AND IT'S GOING TO BE ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry. It kinda just.. well, slipped out. Hi Rai shrugs.
"So you're telling us that the only reason you're here is to steal the Fire and Water dragons?" Afeegi asks pulling up a chair and sitting down next to Lord Lykouleon who's staring at Hi Rai and Xin Yami with contempt.
"Don't answer that Hi Rai," Xin Yami warns Hi Rai when she started to answer, and turned to look at Alfeegi in the eye, a serene smile plastered on her face, "No, that's not all we came here to do. I admit you were not supposed to find out this part of the plan, Hi Rai has a habit of overreacting to insults," as she stands up, the ropes around her wrist, legs, arms, and chest drop to the floor.
"You see, we're from a small island, and well living with her is like living in a nightmare, and we decided that before we killed each other, we would have some fun." Xin Yami explained as she untied her sister.
"And taking on your Dragon Knights, Lord Lykouleon," Hi Rai continued, "seemed like real fun, being as their unstoppable. Yet, we have a fondness for pretty things, and Fire and Water are the prettiest dragon . So it only seems reasonable to take them, for our pleasure and entertainment."
