Slayers Nightmares
Well, here's Chp. 2. It's slowely continuing.
"You're BANDIT camp?!" Lina sputtered. "Naga, Why the hell do you have a bandit camp!?"
"Isn't it obvious, simple minded Lina? Since YOU ditched me, I was strapped of cash for food. At first I thought of bandit hunting, but I knew that was a low thing to do, and here I find YOU doing it, so I know I was right. OH HO HO HO HO!" she laughed.
Lina couldn't wait to kill her.
"So I thought 'What would Lina not do?' and then it hit me. I should BE a bandit leader. It would be so much less work and I know you would not only never think of it, you would be too scared to try it if you DID try, not that you would! OH HO HO HO HO!"
Oh fuck it, Lina thought. Of all the people I would expect to turn, Naga is one name I wouldn't put on that list.
"Ms. Lina?" Ian whispered. Lina totally forgot he was around.
"What is it, Ian?" Lina whispered back harshly.
"Who," he asked, at a tone loud enough for Naga to here, "is this idiotic, self-centered, practically naked, and lazy bitch with a laugh that can send a mazoku running?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Naga shouted. "How dare you insult my intelligence, pride, clothes, and my superior laugh?!"
"You forgot activeness, idiot," he replied. I hope I never tick him off, Lina thought.
"Why you – DEMONA-" she started to cast.
"Mirror Shield," Ian cast. When he did, a transparent wall formed in front of him.
"-CRYSTAL!" Naga finished casting. The spell came straight for Ian, until his barrier absorbed it. Not a second later, the spell came out of the shield and hit Naga, freezing her in solid ice.
"What type of spell was that?" Lina asked.
"Demona crystal?" Ian asked.
"No, Mirror shield."
"A difficult black magic spell," was all he said. "Evidently, Ms. Lina, why didn't you use your talismans?"
Without thinking how he knew about them, she replied, "Since I destroyed Darkstar, they don't work."
A gleam went into his eye. "If you sell them to me, I'll tell you where to replace them," he offered.
It's too good to let up, but he isn't getting them that easily. "I want an additional two hundred thousand gold with that offer."
"I'll counter that offer with not only info on new talismans, but I get to follow you around and pay all your meals for two months."
SCORE!! "Deal!" Lina shot back. Free food! La la la la la!
As she handed over her talismans, Ian told her, "My home town hold talismans that work a little better than these. They're powered by the true elements of fire, water, wind, and earth." He pulled out a necklace with a crystal on it. "I stole the water talisman when I left."
"Well then, let's go," Lina said and started walking out. Ian followed. "Wait. As much as I don't want to," she looked at the new Naga statue, "I can't leave her here."
"Oh, that isn't a problem," Ian replied. "We bring her along and watch her suffer when we don't pay for her meals."
He's evil, Lina thought. "Ok, I can watch her suffer."
"Than let's go," he said pushing Naga along.
That's Chp. 2. R&R please.
