Sorry it's been a while. My sissy is better, we've stopped crying over the loss of one of my many guinea pigs, and, well, that's... all. Oh, you might be seeing more of me, I'm on this new medication for my anxiety, ADHD, and pms so I'll be more focused! I'm a goofy goober yeah! Btw, it took me a week to write the first line of the story. Oh, and I would have updated yesterday but, we forgot to save the chapter... yes, "we" If you can't guess who the other person is, then you haven't been reading my stories much.
"So Po..." Tigress began. Her and Po were sitting underneath the peach tree. it was midday. The sky was blue, there were no clouds in sight and a small replenishing breeze could be felt. "You and Jiaotu used to be friends?"
"Yeah" Po replied. "He seemed like a nice kid. But we never saw him during the day so we asked him if he was a vampire and he laughed. We just laughed and went on with our lives."
"Who's 'we'?" Tigress asked.
"The neighbor kids and I." Po answered. "One of them, the one Jiaotu was closest to, disappeared. She was about Xue's age. Jiaotu seemed to have disappeared shortly after that. But in our group of friends, me and him were the ones that hated each other. He said that one day, he would do something to damage my family and ruin my life."
"That kid's name didn't happen to be Lioa, does it?" Tigress inquired.
"Yeah" Po responded. "That was her. Now, I think I know what happened to her. We aren't gonna let that happen to Xue. Right before Lioa disappeared, she started acting differently.
"Like Xue is?" Tigress questioned.
"Yeah." Po said. He looked like he was about to cry.
"Po, are you okay?" Tigress asked.
"I think.." Po started. "This is what Jiaotu is doing for the promise he made years ago. He's doing this because he hates me. This is my fault." Po hung his head. Tigress put an arm around him as he began to cry on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault Po." Tigress began. "you didn't do anything to make him hate you."
later...
Tigress sat on a chair by Xue's bed that night. "Tigress" She heard a voice say. She couldn't move. "Your eyelids are getting heavy, it's getting harder to stay awake." Tigress then fell asleep. "You fell asleep too soon... But that works just as well."
Jiaotu walked into the room with a smile on his face. He then carried Xue out bridal-style.
Jiaotu carried Xue through a large bamboo forest. He expertly weaved through the long stalks and stopped at a signpost. One of the branched-out slabs of wood declared that the direction Jiaotu was heading in would eventually stop at Helliphino Palace. Helliphino Palace was the housing of an ancient vampiric clan, the Feng, who had lived a thousand years. They had been exiled due to their constant mass-murdering.
Jiaotu stopped at a large castle. It was large, black, and bleak, giving off the feeling of horror. He smiled and walked towards it. He had spread rumors around his clan about him getting the daughter of Master Tigress and Bidi to join them, but none have believed him. He walked slowly towards the castle, until he noticed the sun peaking out. He then ran faster than fast. He quickly opened the door and no sooner did he walk in then he closed the door. He then ran down a large flight of stairs. At the bottom of the staircase, there were six coffins. One was open while the rest were closed. He then laid in the open coffin and had Xue lay with him and they went to sleep.
Tigress woke up to the morning gong. "Oh shit!" Tigress said. "I must have fell asleep. Xue? Are you ok?" There was no response. She then ripped back the blankets. Xue wasn't there.
Man, after you get home from your friends house, if your friend wrote most of the chapter, it's kinda hard to write. I was gonna do this whole thing where Jiaotu try's to control Xue from out the window and she goes in the closet and it's hard to explain but, it was really funny but right after I typed it up, someone (Ihatethesystem) accidentally deleted it. then later I forgot to save when we went into her account so, I gave up. Oh, and did anyone get the Helliphino joke? here's a hint: change the "ph" to an f, ad a k in front of n and a w to the end then space out the separate words. I'll post the answer and how we came up with it in the next chappie.
