Finally Chapter two is out! I need to thank Berry nYaPpY Rui for reviewing. I'm so glad that finally someone reviewed! And to tell you the truth I though that no one liked my story. So if you really like this story, I suggest you should review for my sake! Now I'm updating chapters at least two weeks tops! But hey, don't complain. At least it's not like i update every month so this is a start for my procrastination. Anyway, on chapter one, i used a couple of scenes from the manga and the anime, but this part is purely me. So if Mister Wheat, AKA Huskly, sounds a little bit OOC I apologize.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hakushaku to Yousei, but I own Jennie, the spells mentioned, and what happens in this part of the chapter.

Chapter Two: Useful Spells For a Captive
Mister Wheat stared at me. I glared back. I sighed, rubbing my temples. I closed my eyes and pointed a random spot on the map. "And it's here!" I exclaimed. Where I pointed was Antarctica.
"Don't shit with me!" Mister Wheat yelled. And his true colors finally appear! "I told you to find the place where the Sword of Merrow is located!"
I sighed frustratingly. "I-don't-need-to-use-the-bathroom!" I shouted back. At that, Mister Wheat slapped me.
"Aren't you that fairy doctor's sister?" he shrieked, which was kind of funny because he has one of those man voices. I tried desperately to halt the growing smile on my lips. He started pacing around the small wooden table that held the map I was pointing at. The room surrounding the small table and us used to be a comfortable place, it was the place Lydia and I used to stay at before this Wheat Brain captured me over here!
I growled at him, "That's why I've been telling you it's at Antarctica!" having said this I threw my hands in the air to create dramatic effect.
With a scowl, Mister Wheat grabbed my left arm painfully and pinned me to the nearest wall. The chair I sat on was still bouncing on the ground from the sudden movement. I looked up at him and almost snarled. Not only is he holding my weak side, the one where I was happily shot from, but also I could definitely feel his breath blowing on my face. Just one little step closer and I would be obliged to kick him in his family's jewel.
He smirked at me then pulled away. "You should hurry up and get your wound checked on. It's opening again. We don't want our precious hostage to die on us, right?" Mister Wheat began walking towards the door.
"That's a good idea except you don't even know where Lydia is!" I yelled at him. The gravity between my two eyebrows grew as the upper part of my mouth lifted, showing a full-fledged snarl.
"Oh, we have our ways," he said before slamming the door, loudly. An easy indication that he doesn't. I frowned and tried at the door. It didn't budge it was locked.
With a sigh I slipped off my brown dress and gingerly removed my reddening bandages. I didn't need a mirror to see the how grossly swollen it looked. Not to mention the fact that instead of purple its looking a little green. I know I'm perfectly healthy so I know I'm not rotting but why green? And what's with that white stuff over there? Is this suppose to look like when I have a gunshot wound?
Wow, aren't I hopeless. Just where is Lydia when I need her?
"Ouch!" I screamed unnecessarily and continued wrapping my arm with fresh new white bandages. I put on a light purple dress with a little black lining the edges. It was a plain and simple dress, but I liked it since it reminded me of home. Lydia always wanted me to throw it away since it showed my ankles, however I still liked it ever since my birthday three years ago…
I tied my hair in a ponytail with a black ribbon and packed my things. Once I was ready I took the map that was lying on the desk; pick locked my door open, and headed towards Mister Wheat's room. I banged the door three times repetitively and kicked the door open. Mister Wheat looked like he was having a nice cup of tea alone in his room until I showed up and scared the hell out of him.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" he asked irritatingly. What, he doesn't ask me about how I got out of my room?
"Haven't you heard me knocking?" I retorted with the same level of annoyance. I walked up to his table and shoved the map to his face. "We're going here," I said pulling the map back, circling the train station miles from here and shoving it back to him. I then took a seat and slouched on it, dropping my things by my side.
"Did you forget Miss Carlton that I hold your life in my hands?" he shrieked. This guy has a high voice for a male adult.
I folded my arms back to my head and continued slouching. "Yes, but aren't I the valuable hostage here?" I said with a mimicking voice. "Also as the fairy doctor's sister, I have picked up some things about it. Including the Sword of Merrow."
Mister Wheat stood up from his chairing and pounded his palms on the table just as his chair fell off. "Really?" he said surprised. Aren't I a good liar?
"Oh yes," I lied some more. "After all I am the sister of the great Lydia Carlton!" that one wasn't.
"Then we should change course immediately!" he said and took off with out a goodbye. A small click came up after the door slamming. Just what is with him and locking doors? And slamming them?
I began to stand up from my chair and grabbed a plastic bag from my luggage. I began rummaging through his drawers and what did I see? Pistols. I took that out and removed its bullets and put it into the bag. Next I placed it back and started searching for more. Always doing it carefully and quietly enough so I could hear what was happening outside of the room, Mister Wheat yelling at someone whom happened to eat his lunch. Pathetic isn't it? I was the one who ate it!
I made sure to look under the beds and tables and ran my hands through the walls in case there was any other hidden compartments that held any other guns… or anything worth of value.
I yawned and put the bag semi filled with bullets in my luggage and sat slouching on the chair again. The door opened in seconds and Mister Wheat came in looking at me suspiciously. "What are you doing here?" he asked. He says that after locking me in?
"Taking a nap before you came here and ruined my nice dream," I said nonchalantly.
He growled and rolled his eyes at me. "If you are going to sleep, it best be in your own room," he said.
"Whatever," I said with the same tone of voice and walked out with my luggage in my hand. I walked into my room and looked outside my window. A click sounded at the door. It's so dark that I couldn't even see what was in front of me if I put my hand outside. "Perfect," I said mischievously. "And him locking my door will give me the perfect alibi in case something happens.
I put on a pair of white gloves, tightened my ponytail, pulled out my bag of bullets, and turned off the lights. I walked towards the door and listened. Nothing. I pick locked it and stepped out and closed it, locking it just in case. I walked towards the place where I know where all of Mister Wheat's men were sleeping. I happened to notice the hall lights were on, so a little tampering fixed that. I tried the door, but it wouldn't budge. So I decided to knock.
"Hello?" said one sleepy thug. He squinted to his eyes at the dark, but couldn't see anything. I sneaked in from between his legs and entered the dark room where I could hear coughing, snoring, and anything else that happens when you sleep. I hid under a nearby bed as the door closed. When I was sure that everybody was now sleeping I got out and made way to the drawers and closets. Searching blindly through the dark I felt something hard and pulled it out. I felt all around it and it turned out to be a gun so I emptied it and put the bullets in the bag.
The sound made a clang, but I only heard shuffles and muffles. I continued on being extra careful this time. It only took me a couple of minutes to finish everything in the room. Now here is the hard part. Back home, I read in books of people putting their guns under their pillow and bringing them with them when they sleep…
…Let's try a spell that will give them a more heavy slumber.
I slowly tiptoed towards the middle of the room. Spreading my arms out I whispered, "Zrastox!" The room glowed to a dim blue and then faded out. The only thing that changed was that the snoring grew louder. I let out an evil snicker then continued on with my searching.
Finally I exited the room after carelessly dropping the last bullets and returned to my prison-room. I locked the door and nodded off to sleep without changing into a nightgown. Just wait for me Lydia, I'm coming!
=D
"Wake up!" Mister said as he slammed at my door. "It's almost time to go so get ready!"
I groaned as a reply and got up lethargically. Instead of changing into another dress, which right now is stained with blood, I tried my best to smooth out the crinkles. I thought once about using a spell to make my dress nice and clean, but I'm too lazy to do that.
I used my fingers to brush my hair and skipped brushing my teeth, since there's no bathroom here. The door slammed open and in came with Mister Wheat looking refresh and ready to go with his outfit all ironed out. "Don't you know that slamming the door open is rude?" I said irritatingly.
"Shut up!" he replied angrily. "Your lucky I'm in a good mood today now shut up and go!" he pointed a gun to my neck and smirked.
I frowned and obeyed, but secretly laughed inside. That gun has no bullets inside so there's nothing to be afraid of. I also filled up his cartridges up with rocks to boot! Can't wait to see the look on his face when he pulls the trigger.
Grabbing my suitcase that was sitting on the desk, I walked out of the door with Mister Wheat right behind me. He pressed the gun to my back and I pretended to flinch. I made it seem so obvious that I was pretending, but this guy only smirked.
=D
"So what train are we taking?" Mister Wheat-head asked.
"The train to Vyni," I replied.
"Wait, we could've just went by ship to there!" he yelled at me.
"Yes, but in order to get to the Sword, we to get there by foot, or in this case, train." He eyed me suspiciously, but didn't say a word. I shook my head and placed my hands on my hips as if I'm dealing with a stubborn child. I continued. "Well, don't just stand there! Go buy the tickets." I did a motion with my hands that indicated for him to go away.
"All right, but your coming with me," he pulled my wrist forcefully and continued. "We don't want to lose a valuable hostage now would we?"
While he was buying the tickets, I had to stand right by him. "So are you two lovely people going away for a honeymoon?" said the ticket guy- or whatever his name was.
I wanted to gag, barf, and most importantly run away, but I couldn't do that since Mister Wheat has age and a couple of pounds on me. "No, we are going out with a couple of our friends." I slowly nodded and looked what was in front of me. A restroom. I smirked. Perfect.
Once the tickets were bought, Mister Wheat pushed me into moving. "Hurry let's move," he said irritatingly.
However he won't get just what he wants. I collapsed down the floor. "Hey what are you doing?" Mister Wheat yelled as a few people stopped to look at us and murmur.
"Ow…" I grumbled. "My stomach hurts… I think it's that time of the month again…"
"Well don't just stand there!" he yelled. "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes sir!" I shouted, jumping up from my feet, grabbing my luggage, and headed towards the bathroom.
I snickered to myself. "Sucker! Hahahaha!" I nearly shouted but then stopped. I looked on around me, but there was no window to climb out of. Maybe I should have used magic, then it would have been easier for me…
I put one hand out and had my palm towards the wall. "Vlouno: Qyhweq!" I shouted. Slowly a major part of the wall began shifting until it looked like that part of space was distorting. It swirled around and a shape of a large window came into view. Finally it stopped altogether to form a window fit for my size. I grabbed my luggage and climbed out, not forgetting to put it back to normal.
I ran until I made it into a crowded area. I paused and whispered, "Moulvn: Lydia." To spells in one day. One to create and the other to find, wow isn't this a record? Quickly an image came into my head with Lydia on it. I recognized where it was so it should be easy to get there if it wasn't for that it's on the other side of town!
Well better start running.
