Chapter 4

Evil Girls

"Wouldn't you do the same, for the safety of others?" Dashi said.

The moon was high, and everything alive went quiet. There were no breezes, and no chat from night creatures.

I sighed. "Um...yeah...I guess so."

"And we know he didn't want to." Dashi added.

I nodded, still frowning.

Dashi smiled. "You seem...jealous."

I looked up at him, with anger, and something else. "Do not! I'm just...concerned, that's all. It just seems...to fishy to me." I crossed my hands, and looked down. "I don't trust Sophia."

"Neither do I." Dashi added. "And Wuya might have something to do with it."

I stood up. "Well, what do we do?" I said. "If you have a plan, we can't tell Chase."

"I'll think of one. There was never a problem that could not be solved."

I thanked him, and went back to the cabin, to think of something also.

Morning...

I stayed up all night, trying to come up with something.

I set out for the temple before Chase did, to converse with Dashi.

We sat in a silent room, and Guan was with us.

"Do you have anything?" I asked desperately.

"Sorta." Dashi said. "First of all, we have to spy on her."

"I'll do it." I said, ready to get revenge.

"But there's a problem. There are guards surrounding her whole castle, and her rented cabin here." Guan said. "And you will have to go at night."

"Then, we'll have to distract the guards, and Chase." Dashi continued. "And you spy on Sophia."

Night, In Which The Town Celebrates The Upcoming Marriage...

Chase was walking down a path, to the town, and was preparing to go to Sophia's cabin.

Dashi and Guan came along, starting the plan.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's Chase! Why aren't you at your festival?" Dashi said.

"I have to go to Sophia for something." Chase said.

"Nah, can't she wit? She'll be here all night. Your never any fun." Dashi smiled.

"I-"

"Great! Let's go!" Dashi said as he and Guan pulled Chase into town.

Meanwhile...

I snuck past some civilians, and made my way to a window, behind the cabin.

"So, Wuya, have you made the 'treaty'?" I heard Sophia say.

"Yes! Once they let they're guard down, we'll kill the ones that are annoying, and we'll unleash my power! Then...we shall rule the world!" I heard another woman say. Probably...Wuya!

Sophia gave a laugh. "Ha! Yes, and I'll crush that little girl's heart, by marrying her love, then put poison in his drink tonight at the festival, killing him. It's genius!"

I held my breath.

"Also, we'll make his colleagues suffer!" Wuya laughed.

I got up, and ran, toward the festival, in search of the three.

I gotta stop this!
