Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven
Hey guys! Ya, I know that this chapter is really short, but I couldn't think of much else at the moment and this seemed like a good cliffie " Enjoy!
Fox sighed and rubbed the back of his sore neck as the elevator lurched upward. Today had only been the second day on Corneria and he couldn't wait to get back into open space on the Great Fox. Now, he loved Corneria, he really did, in fact if anything where to happen to it he would be downright devastated. But between the paparazzi, the fan girls/boys, and not to mention trying to squeeze in going over the details of the Covalt case with Katt, he was getting really tired.
"Fox?" Krystals accented voice jolted him out of his thoughts "Are you alright?"
"Ya, Krys, I'm fine, just tired is all" he said with a weak smile. Krystal just nodded and walked over to her bed. Fox inwardly sighed; she had been growing more distant from everyone lately, and frankly, It was really worrying him. And he wasn't the only one either; both Katt and Peppy were worried too. Even Falco and Slippy were starting to notice, and they where usually oblivious to this sort of thing. Fox just shook his head and got into bed (He He, that rhymed ) "Night Guys" He called. Katt noisily cleared her throat and Fox rolled his eyes "And Girls"
"Goodnight"
Krystal sighed and quietly pulled the covers over herself. She knew that the others worried about her, and she really didn't like to make them feel that way, she wanted to tell them that they didn't have to worry, but that was the problem that had presented itself to her. She wasn't sure whether or not they should, and it was eating her. Why would the past suddenly come back into her dreams with such sudden force? She couldn't quite place it, but she had an awful feeling that something was amiss.

Krystal sighed with relief when she finally arrived in the village. It had taken three days to get here, and she had never been more thankful for Cerinias abundant vegetation and water supplies, but when she arrived her alarms immediately went up. She couldn't quite place what was wrong in the dark night until she heard a 'Squish' and looked down. As soon as she did the harvest moon came out from behind the clouds and she felt like she was going to be very, very, sick. Blood and dirt mingled together to make a sickening mixture. Terrified she looked up slowly
"No…" She whispered at the horrific sight before her. The pale orange glow from the harvest moon illuminated the blood red village in an eerie light. Broken weapons lay beside the men and women who had obviously wielded them so bravely, as did the broken men and women cluster around each other and their children. Krystal cried when she saw the children, their small, fragile frames lay broken and battered in small, bloody heaps. Desperate, Krystal reached out with her mind and looked for any survivors, she found at first two brain waves, one was weak and the other was extremely hostile. She ran quickly to the place they where resonating from and when she got there she overheard a voice she had hoped to never hear again
"I'm going to ask you for the last time" Said a voice that was chilling, angry and calm all at the same time "Where. Is. She."
"I keep telling you" A weak male voice said and coughed up hat sounded like a liquid, Krystal guessed blood as she walked up behind them, trying to ignore the corpse of a small kit, probably 4 or 5, speared to a wall with his head lolled to the side.
"I don't know who you're talking about" he rasped
"Wrong answer" The menacing voice hissed as she heard the other man grunt as she saw the black wolf run his sword through him. Krystal was facing the back of the wolf as the green fox was stabbed. The fox looked at her and mouthed 'Run' before his eyes rolled upwards and he fell back dead. Krystal couldn't hold back a scream and just as the wolf turned to look at her with surprise showing in his green eyes she ran, faster and harder than she ever thought possible. She could hear him coming up behind her and his yells at her to stop before she tripped on a large root and fell face first. She immediately turned to look at him with horror and revulsion in her eyes as he stared down at her. He bent down and just before he grabbed her she let out a scream and a blinding white light appeared and she fainted.

Krystal bolted upright in her bed, her ear-piercing scream echoing throughout the top floor.
