A Clear Melody
Team 2: Chapter 1
"The Bloody Head Doll"
Vlad slowly walked into the guild, the place was a bit empty still, as many of the members were either out on missions or in town. Infact, he thought he might've seen team Raiden leaving, but one was never too certain with Raiden. That man certainly had strange quirks.
Vlad sat down on the nearest chair, he was exhausted and felt like taking a nap. So, missions were definately out of the question and plus, his team would probably get annoyed with him if he took another solo mission.
Looking around, Vlad spotted none of his teammates, just Melchi and her former team. He still didn't know what happened that day, but after that Melchi never went and did missions again. She also would cry often when the day comes by. Noone could get anything out of her and she still hadn't said anything. What ever happened that day scarred Melchi for life, Vlad just wondered what happened. Melchi's team felt guilty about not being there and decide to also become bartenders. Now all three women, which was actually a very good team called The Three Sisters, were bartenders. They were not blood-related to say, but were actually very close. It was one of those teams that could never be replaced.
Sighing, Vlad stood up and decided to take one of his infamous naps, probably because people have a tendency to look at him then trip over thin air. Shaking his head, Vlad scaled his way up the guild walls, going all the way to the top of the ceiling and positioned himself in a way that allowed him to sleep upside down. After getting a bit comfortable, Vlad fell asleep.
When Vlad woke up, the guild seemed even emptier then before. Mielany, one of his teammates, was sleeping on the beams below him. She probably came in sometime when he was asleep, unfortunately for her, it seemed like whatever that woke him up was also impending on her dreams. Vlad waited for Mia to wake up, before he decided anything, but he was pretty sure he heard crying and that was not a good sign.
Mia groaned softly, before she looked up and stared curiously at Vlad, as if to ask 'what is happening'. Vlad shrugged then jumped down, Mia following his lead. Both Vlad and Mia were surprised to see that it was Melchi who was crying, which had never happened before. It was surprising in itself for them, as Melchi was usually composed and calm, to see her crying like this was like taking a blow to the stomach.
Melchi, a purple haired scrypt mage, was kneeling on the floor, cry as she held a brown paper package. It looked like it arrived from the post, and was the reason Melchi was crying. " Melchi-chan, what's wrong?" Mia asked, as she knelt down next to the crying mage. Vlad stood there and listened, he was not sure on how to approach Melchi, but he was still going to find out what caused her to be so distressed. Melchi sniffed a bit, before replying. " T-this..." She stuttered out, before she burst out into sobs.
Vlad looked at Melchi hesitantly, before slowly taking the package out of her hands. After making sure Melchi wasn't going to scrypt him into next week wednesday, he opened the package carefully and stopped aburptly. What the package contained was something disgusting, but it was not something he wasn't used to, being a necromancer and all. Inside the package, was the small head of a child, probably a girl. The right half of the head was decompsed and rotting, where the girls eyes would be, were two black buttons. The left half of the girls mouth was stitched up, as if to prevent the girl from speaking. But what really got to Vlad, was the fact that he felt nothing, he felt no soul residue on the girl, it was like someone stole her soul while they killed her painfully.
Deciding it's best that Mielany didn't see this, Vlad carefully closed the box and quickly left the guild with it, intent on burying it somewhere. He left getting the information out of Melchi to Mia. Someone sent that head to Melchi to scare her, that someone would pay. Melchi was family and no one, No one messed with family. Vlad's steps became more determined, as he left the guild via Tube.
An: Short, I know. Sorry about that. Anyways, I have already got a nice big story idea, you'll eventually see it. I decided to end the chapter here, because it felt like a nice cliffhanger. Crappy title I know, but there's not much I could think of. Hmmm, I've already got a dark guild ready, so yea. I've got something strange coming on. I'm not very good with plots, or else I would say big. If you wish, you can join the RP I am on.
