Here's chapter nine of Xanna. Sorry it took so long to post it. But I tried making up for it by making this chapter long but not too long. And it has some very interesting stuff in it. And Cosmo does something I never thought he would do. And I'm writing the story! :O

I can't tell you guys so you'll have to read the chapter to find out. Enjoy.

Xanna read the book as she and her friends walked along the road of Stranglethorn Vale. She started to rub her back.

'You know they're going to kill you when they found out where you're taking them, right?'

'Shut up and let me read the map!'

'Geez, someone's got her undies in a bunch. What's up?'

'The freakin' sky!' Xanna huffed. 'And you say that you're the smart side of me.'

'I meant, what's wrong, you idiot.'

'My back. It's killin' me.' Xanna said as she continued to rub her back. 'Damn the ground for being so hard to sleep on.'

'I think this is a sign for you not to go to Stormwind and get us all killed!'

Xanna mentally slapped Ixxy with the book. 'Shut your hole.'

"Something wrong with your back, Xanna?" Makaza asked.

Ixxy sat up rubbing her head. 'Noooooo. There's nothing wrong with it at all. She's just doin' that for fun. Oh, and hitting me for fun. Can't forget that!'

Xanna looked over her shoulder, still rubbing her back and ignoring Ixxy. "What gave it away?" She asked sarcastically.

Makaza shrugged. "Dunno."

Xanna rolled her eyes and looked back at the book. She stopped reading it when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Xanna looked back to see who had stopped her.

It was Makaza. He grabbed her arms. "Makaza, what're you-ah!" Xanna yelped because Makaza had placed a foot on her spine, pulled on her arms and made her back make a loud cracking sound.

'Holy crap! Did he just break your back?!'

Makaza let go of Xanna's arms, put his foot back on the ground and took a couple steps back. "Feel better?"

Xanna straitened up, feeling her back. She moved a little bit to make sure it wasn't broken; it made little cracking sounds as she did. "Actually… Yeah, I do. Thanks, Makaza."

Makaza rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Heh. No problem." Xanna picked him up and gave him a great big hug. Makaza blushed because this was the first time Xanna had given him a hug. And he was a bit shocked because Xanna was able to pick him up.

The others were shocked too, except for Cosmo and Gishezpak. Cosmo wasn't shocked because he had been picked up by his tiny friend before, so, he wasn't surprised that she was able to pick up a big orc like Makaza. Gishezpak wasn't shocked because a few days ago, he had seen this tiny elf punch his friend miles away for looking down her shirt.

But the others were very, very shocked.

'Whoa. I underestimated her strength.' Dethiam thought.

'Damn, that is so hot.' Mokoki thought.

'That should be me!' Akazil thought.

"Ahem. Xan Xan?" Cosmo asked as he looked at his nails. "Yeah?" Xanna asked, still holding the big and heavy orc. "Shouldn't we get goin' to…wherever it is we're going?"

"Oh, right." Xanna put Makaza down. He was still blushing. "Let's get goin'." She said, turning around and walking again. Reading the book as she did, of course.

Everyone followed, except for the two orcs. Akazil grabbed Makaza's shoulder and pointed a finger at him. He wanted to yell at him but couldn't say anything.

"Not my fault that she decided to hug me instead of you." Makaza said.

Akazil glared at Makaza. "If you weren't my brother, I'd kill you." This didn't scare Makaza because his brother made threats like this pretty often. And he knew he never meant it, he only said it out of anger.

"Hey, guys! You comin' or what?!" Xanna shouted to her friends. The boys looked at her, then at each other. Akazil let go of his brother. "Yeah. We're comin'." He said and continued to walk. Makaza sighed and followed the group.

'Why did you keep Akazil from killing Makaza?! That would've been one less mouth to hear!'

Xanna rolled her eyes. 'Because I'm a nice person and I don't like it when people fight. I barely like fighting myself. You know that.'

'Right. Don't like fighting. That's why you always want to kill the pig people in the Barrens.'

'Hey! They started that fight and you know it!'

Ixxy folded her arms over her chest. 'Well, maybe if you hadn't been picking their pockets, they wouldn't have attacked you.'

'But I needed money! You know that, too!'

Ixxy placed a hand on her chin. 'True. Maybe if you hadn't of bought all of those shiny things, you wouldn't have had to go pickpocket those pigs and they wouldn't have attacked you.'

'I have a plan for those shiny things!'

Ixxy had both of her arms over her chest again. 'Yeah, I know. Putting them on a shelf so you can watch them slowly lose their shine as they collect dust.'

Xanna was glaring at Ixxy, her hands balled up into fists at both sides. 'Grrrrrrr.'

'Stop growling at me and take these people to their doom already. I wanna see how fast the guards can kill them.'

Xanna's eyes widened. '…What is wrong with you?!'

'Many, many things. Like, being trapped inside of an idiot's head for all eternity.'

'Please, Lord, let there be a brain surgeon in Stormwind.'

After about another hour and a half of walking, Xanna and her friends finally were out of Stranglethorn Vale. They were now in some weird, dark, forest. 'Finally. We're in Duskwood.'

'Yeah… They are so gonna kill you.'

'Will you shut up with that, already? They won't kill me.' Ixxy gave her a look. 'What?'

'Are you serious? You're in Duskwood! An Alliance place! They're gonna think you're trying to kill them and kill you!'

'They haven't looked at the book so they don't know we're in an Alliance place.' Xanna retorted with a smart-aleck tone.

Ixxy raised a finger at Xanna and opened her mouth to say something; nothing came out. She opened and closed her mouth a few times and finally came up with something to say. 'I hate you.'

'I know.' Xanna smiled.

Cosmo walked behind Xanna, grabbing her shoulders. "Xan Xan? Where are we? I don't like this place. It's spooky." Cosmo said as he looked around.

Xanna reached up and touched one of Cosmo's hands to comfort him. "It's okay, Cosmo. Mittens and I will protect you. Ain't that right, Mittens?" Xanna looked down at Mittens, who was walking beside her. The lioness nodded.

Cosmo smiled and hugged his friend, very happy that he would be protected in the spooky place. Xanna's ear twitched. Cosmo didn't notice. 'What was that?' Xanna thought.

Ixxy looked up from her nails that she had been filing to look at Xanna. 'What was what?'

Xanna's ear twitched again. "Can you guys hear that?"

Cosmo stopped hugging his friend and tried to focus on the noise Xanna was hearing. Xanna's ear twitched a third time. "There it is again."

"What's it sound like?" Makaza asked.

"I don't really know but it sounds so familiar." Xanna said as she looked around.

Cosmo placed a hand on his chin. "Yeah, it does sound familiar. Man, what is this sound?" He began to tap his chin. "It's on the tip of my tongue."

Xanna's eyes widened when she saw what was making the noise walk out into the middle of the road. "Sp-sp-sp-…" Xanna stuttered as she tried to say the horrible word.

"Spider." Dethiam smiled.

"Yeah, that's it!" Cosmo said, raising the hand he had on his chin to point up, as if he was pointing to a light bulb on his head.

Everyone stopped walking to stare at the giant spider. It was black with red spots on it's butt and head.

'Hey, that's a Black Widow Hatchling.' Ixxy said delightedly.

'H-how to you know?' Xanna squeaked.

Ixxy pointed to the book she was still holding. 'Says so in the book.' Xanna's eyes slowly looked down at the book, her head slowly followed them. Xanna read the part about the spider. "Black Widow Hatchlings are very nasty creatures. They are big, black, have red spots and are furry. They walk all around Duskwood. Try to avoid them, if you can." Her eyes went to the bottom of the page. 'Turn to page 108 to see what they look like.'

Xanna gulped and slowly turned the pages. The page showed exactly what the spider in front of her looked like. Xanna gagged a little. 'I think I'm gonna puke.'

'Hey, hey, hey. You're not gonna pull the stunt you did in Ghostlands, are you?'

Xanna didn't answer; she had already started the 'stunt'. She was wobbling.

"Xanna?" Akazil whispered, trying to make sure the spider wouldn't notice them and attack. "Are you okay? You look like you're gonna faint."

Xanna didn't answer him; she just continued to wobble.

'Man up, damn it! I don't wanna be stranded in your mind so a spider can take your body and put you in it's web like last time!'

Cosmo grabbed Xanna's shoulders again. "Xanna, it's okay. Calm down. Just back away slowly." He whispered to her.

Xanna knew she couldn't stay calm because Cosmo had called her by her name. He only did that when something was very, very bad.

He started to back away slowly, bringing her with him and forcing the people behind him to back up. 'And she said that she would protect me.' He thought.

Everyone stopped walking backwards and bumped into each other. It was because Mokoki had bumped into something. The group turned around to see what he had bumped into. 'Why did it have to be that?' Xanna thought.

It was another Black Widow Hatchling. It turned around and stared at Mokoki, who was backing away toward his group. The spider made a noise. 'Uh-oh.'

Xanna mentally sighed. 'Why uh-oh?'

Ixxy pointed to the book again. 'That's how they call each other when they're in trouble.'

Xanna's right eye was twitching. She slowly turned her head back around to the first spider; it was walking toward her and her friends. So, now, both of the spiders were forcing the group to squeeze together.

The first spider was an inch away from Xanna. Her heart began to beat so fast, it felt like it was going to pop out of her chest. And it got faster and faster as the spider stared at her.

"Xanna, stay calm." Cosmo told his friend again.

By this point, Xanna knew it was Impossible to stay calm because that was the second time Cosmo had called her by her name. The spider touched Xanna's leg; her eyes widened. She gasped and then held her breath so she wouldn't scream.

'This would probably be a good time to, I don't know, run!' Ixxy yelled at Xanna. She didn't say anything. Ixxy snapped her fingers in front of Xanna's eyes, then waved her hand in front of her. 'Xanna? Xanna!' Ixxy began to shake Xanna. 'C'mon, Xanna! Don't do this to me! Snap out of it!' Ixxy yelled and slapped Xanna. She still didn't say anything. 'Shit. I've lost her. And I can't take over her body without her approval. Crap! What do I do?!'

While Ixxy was trying to think of something to do, the whole group was still bundled up together. Dethiam wiggled her way out and walked toward the spider by Mokoki. "I don't see why everybody is so terrified. They're just spiders!" Dethiam said and pulled out a dagger. She stabbed the spider in the head. It fell to the ground. "See? We're still okay." She said as she put back her dagger. "Babies."

Dethiam looked at Mokoki, Gishezpak and Makaza; their eyes were widening. She raised and eyebrow at them, but they didn't see it because of the belts over her face. "What's wrong with you guys?"

Makaza slowly pointed to something behind her. Dethiam turned around to see the spider she had stabbed wasn't dead. She smirked. "Finally. A challenge." She pulled out both daggers and lunged herself toward the spider.

The spider leaped back and made another noise; a call for the spider near Xanna to come over and help. Or, at least, to attack Xanna.

While it made the noise, Dethiam leaped onto it and sliced it's back. The Black Widow Hatchling screeched in pain. This made Dethiam smile.

The other spider walked around Xanna to go help it's friend. Cosmo watched it walk away then tapped Xanna's shoulder. "Xan Xan? Are you okay?" Xanna didn't say anything; she just stood there. "X-xan Xan? Are you breathing?"

Xanna was, in fact, not breathing. She was too shocked to notice that she wasn't. Cosmo poked Xanna's shoulder. "Xan Xan?! Say something!"

Xanna still didn't say anything. But she did do something; she clenched the book that was still in her hands. As if it was a lifeline of some sort. 'At least, I know she's not dead.' Cosmo thought.

As Dethiam fought the spider, it's friend came over to help out. Dethiam smiled. "This just gets better and better."

Dethiam did a back flip as both spiders lunged at her. "Whoa." Everyone else said, except for Xanna, Cosmo and Mittens. Xanna was still traumatized, Cosmo was trying to comfort her and Mittens can't talk.

Dethiam, the amazing undead rogue girl, began to throw daggers at the spiders. 'Good thing I always carry spares.'

The spiders screeched in pain when the daggers hit them. They tried to shake them out but it was useless; those daggers were so deep, they were through their skulls, doing a lot of damage to their brains.

The next thing Dethiam did was slowly walk up to the spiders so she could finish them off. They backed away, wobbling as they did because of the daggers Implanted in their heads. Dethiam ran after them and tackled one.

She sat on it's back and cut it's head off. After doing that, she looked at the other one. It was staring at it's dead friend; and it looked like it was crying.

Dethiam smiled wickedly. "You're next, pal."

The Black Widow Hatchling backed away slowly and screeched to the top off it's lungs. Dethiam laughed and walked toward it. "Not gonna work. You're buddy's already dead."

Dethiam was an inch away from the spider. It cried some more and then she cut it's head off. She dusted her hands off then collected her daggers and walked back to her group. Their mouths had dropped to the ground; except for Xanna's because she was still traumatized.

Dethiam smiled when she got back to her spot in the group and everyone was staring at her. It was silent for a moment. Mokoki broke that silence. "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, bitch. You're hardcore!" The others nodded in agreement. Dethiam smiled, not caring that Mokoki had called her a bitch.

'I agree with the cow. She is one hardcore bitch. I swear, if I had my own body, I'd ask her for an autograph.' Ixxy told Xanna. She still didn't say anything.

Ixxy put her hands on her hips. 'How rude.'

Cosmo tapped Xanna's shoulder again. "Xan Xan? You can start breathing again. The spiders are dead."

Xanna's ear twitched. "No. They're not."

Cosmo tilted his head at his friend. "Yes they a-" Xanna took his head and forced him to look to their left. More spiders had come. "Oh… Crap."

The whole group looked around, spiders were everywhere. Dethiam just smiled and pulled out her daggers again. "It must be Christmas and somebody didn't tell me."

The spiders began to surround the group. Xanna wanted to scream and then pass out but they were in Duskwood, so, she couldn't scream. She just passed out.

'Great! It's Ghostlands all over again!'

Somewhere nearby, there was someone watching Xanna and her friends. Two someones. One of them tried to walk out into the middle of the road. The other stopped her. "No, Seda. We can't." Seda looked up at him with big tear filled eyes. "But, Louis-"

Louis looked at his lovely Seda, then at the people in the road, and back at Seda. She looked just like her. They looked so much alike; they were almost twins.

Same skin tone, same figure and physique, they seemed to have the same everything. Except for their eyes, hair and height. Seda was about three inches taller than her, and her hair was shorter, a little of it covered her right eye. And Seda's eyes were green, her's weren't; she got her eyes from him.

"I'm sorry, Seda. But we can't. It's not the right time."

Seda looked up at Louis, her eyes still filled with tears. She looked at the road then back at Louis. She kind of looked like him. If people saw them together, they would be able to tell she was his.

Sure, she didn't get his seven foot and an inch height or his purple skin and she didn't have his little scruffy beard; all though, Seda didn't think she would want that; but if you looked at their faces you could tell. She had his eyes, his chin, she probably had his smile, and she wore her hair in an upwards ponytail like he did. Seda frowned because she wanted all of them to be together.

First she lost their other child and then, because they were on the run, she had to lose her too. It made her feel like crying but she knew she couldn't. If she did, the people out in the road might hear her.

Seda leaned on Louis' stomach; she couldn't really lean on his chest because he was tall and she was short, being five feet and five inches and all. Louis held her and rubbed the back of her head. "We will be together again, some day, Seda."

Seda didn't say anything, she was afraid she would start crying if she did.

'Damn you, Elros. Damn you to hell.'

Cosmo looked at his unconscious friend. Then he glared at Akazil. "What?" Cosmo pointed a finger at him. "You're her boyfriend! Do something to get her out of this mess! NOW!!!!!"

"I'm not her boyfriend!"

"I don't give a shit! Get her out of here now!!!!!!!!" Cosmo yelled, grabbing Akazil's collar with both of his hands and shaking him.

Akazil grabbed Cosmo's hands to get him to stop shaking him. "Alright, alright, alright! I'll get us out of here!"

"I don't care if you get them out of here! I just want her to be safe! And I swear, if she dies-"

Akazil took Cosmo's hands off. "Chill out! She's not gonna die!" Akazil gave Cosmo a serious look. "I promise."

'Ah! Shut up you idiots! Damn, I hate not having my own body!' Ixxy yelled in Xanna's mind. She hated feeling so helpless.

Akazil turned away from Cosmo to give out orders to the group. "Dethiam!" He yelled but she was already taking on five of the spiders. "…You keep doin' what you're doin'." Akazil turned to the others. "Mokoki! Gizzy!" Both shamans stood at attention. Akazil pointed at Mokoki. "You fight!" He pointed at Gishezpak. "You heal!" After receiving their orders, Mokoki and Gishezpak fought along with Dethiam. "Makaza, summon your Imp and help!"

"But I'm only a level five! I'm not gonna do any damage!"

"I don't care! Just fight!" Akazil ordered. Makaza began to summon his Imp to help fight. 'Damn, I hate the wait.'

Akazil stood next to Makaza as he summoned his Imp to make sure the casting wouldn't be interrupted. Cosmo and Mittens ran next to Xanna to make sure spiders didn't carry her away. He shook her a little to wake her up. 'Please, please, please, wake up Xanna.'

Dethiam jumped up into the air so two spiders would run into each other; she landed on one of them and began to make holes in it's back. She was laughing the whole time.

Mokoki and Gishezpak were making a good team together on some of the other spiders. Mokoki had summoned some totems to help fight off the spiders and was using a staff to beat their heads in. And Gishezpak was making a fantastic healer.

Akazil watched them fight off the spiders as he waited for Makaza to get done with his summoning. "Hurry up!"

"I'm sorry! It takes a while to summon at my level!"

"Well, hurry up!" Akazil said as he began to fight a spider. "Ah! Holy crap!" Makaza shouted.

A dagger flew at the spider as it tried to tackle Akazil to the ground. The spider was instantly dead. Dethiam laughed. "Too easy."

"Look out!" Akazil warned her.

Dethiam turned around to see a spider jump on her back. She propped her back up and knocked the spider off. It squirmed on it's back for a minute then hopped back on it's feet.

It was about to charge at Dethiam but was hit by a little fireball. "That a boy, Ezekiel!" Makaza told his Imp. "Thanks, boss." Ezekiel said.

The spider looked at Makaza and Ezekiel. "B-boss? Is that thing…smiling?"

The spider was smiling. It was smiling because Makaza and Ezekiel were the weakest of the group; and it just loved to kill the weaklings first. The Black Widow Hatchling stalked toward Makaza and his Imp. "Boss, I think we should see other people. It's not you; it's the spider."

Makaza glared down at his Imp. "Can't you pick some other time to quit on me?!"

"…No."

"Don't make me sacrifice you to the spider, you son of a-"

"Imp! I am the son of an Imp! And then they died and those Fel Hunters adopted me! So, stop saying that I'm the son of a Fel Hunter!"

"Stop back talkin' me!"

"Maybe if you were a better boss, I wouldn't HAVE TO back talk you!"

Makaza growled and kicked his Imp at the spider. "Fel Hunter, demon, child Imp!"

"Imp demon child! I'm the son of an Imp!" Ezekiel yelled at his master as he sat on the back of the giant Black Widow Hatchling. He looked down at it's eyes. It glared at him then tried to toss him of like a bucking tauren. "Whoa-oa-oa-oa! Cut-it-out!"

The spider continued to try to buck him off. "Bo-o-o-oss! Help-me!" Makaza folded his arms and looked away. "Boss!" Makaza looked over his shoulder then the other way and stuck his nose in the air. "Makaza!" Akazil yelled as he fought another spider. He ran away from it then up a tree, jumping behind it and stabbing it's back. "Stop being lazy and fight! You too, Ezekiel!"

"I'm-on-it!" Ezekiel yelled to Akazil. He then began to poke out the spider's eyes. It screeched and began to run wild. "Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa!!!" Ezekiel the soon to be helpless Imp shouted as he hung on to the spider's head for dear life.

Makaza gasped. "I'm comin', Eek!" Makaza chased after Ezekiel and the spider. They ran past Dethiam. She was in between two spiders again. She kicked one in the face and stabbed the other, then cut it's two front legs. She turned to the other one and did the same thing.

Dethiam stood up straight and looked around at everyone fighting. They had taken down at least twenty spiders. She frowned. "We're runnin' out of spiders to kill." She sighed. "Man. Wish more would show up."

"Are-" Mokoki jumped back from the spider he was fighting. "-you-" He summoned a fire totem. "-crazy?!"

Dethiam put her hands on her hips. "If having fun is crazy then, yes, I'm coo-coo for Coco Puffs!"

Mokoki smacked the spider with his staff. "Why-" He jumped to his right and smacked it again. "-is-" He tripped the spider and planted the bottom of his staff in it's head. '-she with us?" He panted the rest of his question to Gishezpak.

Gishezpak cast a lightning bolt on another spider. "I don't know."

After they had taken down a few more spiders, the rest backed away from the group. "Oh, no you don't!" Dethiam yelled and tried to chase them down. Akazil stopped her.

"Why are they backing away?" Makaza asked.

"I don't know but it can't be for a good reason." Akazil answered.

The spiders continued to back away from the group. They did the same. "What are they up to?" Akazil asked himself.

Cosmo picked Xanna up. "Who cares! Let's just get outa-" His ear twitched. He looked at the spiders. They were standing next to each other, as if they were some sort of army.

Cosmo's ear twitched again. "What do you hear?" Akazil asked.

Mittens hissed in the direction of the spiders and backed away, hiding behind Cosmo. A giant spider emerged from the forest and behind the army of spiders. It was big, red, green, furry and ugly.

Ixxy gasped and looked at the library book. She scrolled through the pages to find the page about this spider. She gasped again when she found it. 'Naraxis. Shit, shit, shit! They're all screwed! Run! Run, you idiots!'

Ixxy began to panic. She didn't know what to do and she hated that. 'Why did she pass out?!' Ixxy walked over to Xanna. 'Wake up!' Useless. Ixxy was useless. And she hated that.

While Ixxy tried to wake Xanna up, the group looked at Naraxis. Dethiam's eyes began to twinkle behind her belts. "This day just gets better and better, doesn't it?"

She began to walk toward the spiders but Mokoki stopped her. "Are you crazy?! Are you trying to get yourself k-" Dethiam raised an eyebrow. "Torn to bits?!" Mokoki finished.

"I never run from a challenge." Dethiam stated simply.

Mokoki was about to yell at her some more but Akazil hit the back of his shoulder. "Be quiet you guys." He said as he watched the army of spiders. They were all talking to each other. 'If only I knew spider-nise.'

"Maybe this would be a good time to sneak away and not die." Gishezpak suggested.

Ixxy heard hallelujah music. 'Thank you.' She told the top of Xanna's mind.

"Good idea." Makaza whispered, holding Ezekiel to his chest, covering the Imp's mouth with his hand. Ezekiel bit down on Makaza's hand. "Ow!"

"Yeah, nice goin', kid. Why didn't any of you guys think of that?"

"We were all under pressure and couldn't think straight?" Gishezpak answered.

"Who cares! Let's just go!" Akazil said.

Everyone nodded and began to slowly sneak away from the spiders. Except for Dethiam; Mokoki had to drag her with the group.

"Where're we goin', boss?"

"Um…" Makaza tapped on Akazil's shoulder. "Where're we goin'?" He whispered.

"Anywhere that's not here."

Makaza and Ezekiel looked back at the spiders. "Sounds good to me." They both said.

As they all walked away, something skinny and furry grabbed a thing that was dropped on the ground during battle. Something they needed if they wanted to get out of Duskwood alive.

Every now and then as they walked to find a safe place, Akazil would look back to make sure everyone was still there and alive. Makaza was holding Ezekiel; Gishezpak was following closely like a good troll; Mokoki was still dragging Dethiam and trying to make sure she didn't throw her daggers at everything that moved; Mittens was following Cosmo; and Cosmo was still carrying Xanna. He kept looking at her with very concerned eyes; he would brush some of her hair back every now and then. And Akazil saw something fall from his face and onto Xanna.

'Is he…crying?'

Akazil shook his head and looked forward once again. "I think I see a spot over here." He turned around and held up a hand so everyone would stop walking. "Let me go check it out first. Ma-" He was about to say but didn't finish. He looked at the group. "Uh… Gizzy, you're in charge while I go check out the spot." After saying that, Akazil left.

Everyone looked at Gishezpak. "What?" They looked at him for another moment, then sat down. Mokoki and Makaza were still holding the squirmy and annoying undead girl and Fel Hunter child.

"Will you stop squirmin'?" Mokoki asked Dethiam. She continued to squirm. "Don't make me remove your head."

Dethiam looked up at him then stopped squirming. But not because Mokoki told her to. When he wasn't looking, she slowly pulled out a dagger and threw it at a nearby rabbit.

Mokoki glared at her. "That's it." He picked her up and placed her in his lap. Makaza's eyes widened. "Dude, I didn't know you were into that."

"Boss, would that be called necrophilia or bestiality?"

"I think it's called necroality."

"Or beastiphilia." Ezekiel laughed. He and Makaza high-fived each other.

Mokoki and Dethiam both turned bright red. All though, nobody knew why Dethiam did. Or even if it was possible for an undead person to turn that color.

Dethiam tried to jump out of Mokoki's lap. "Why I oughta-!" Mokoki held her back. "Let me go! I'm gonna kill those annoying pests!" Dethiam threw a dagger at Makaza and Ezekiel. "Ah!" Makaza held Ezekiel in front of his face. "Ah!" Ezekiel tried to squirm out of his master's hands.

But they didn't need to worry or sacrifice each other to the crazy undead girl, because Gishezpak had caught the dagger. "Ms. Dethiam, calm down, please."

She glared at him, he gestured his head to where Mittens, Cosmo and Xanna were sitting. Xanna was still passed out and Cosmo was still cradling her like she was a baby. "Please wake up, Xanna." He wiped a tear from his eye.

Dethiam rolled her eyes. "I can't believe she's still out. They were just spiders!" The guys glared at her. "What?" Nobody said anything.

Gishezpak walked over to Cosmo and Xanna. He kneeled down next to them. "How's she doin'?"

"Well, she's still breathing." He answered, looking at Xanna and brushing some of her hair back again. He looked at Gishezpak when he had placed a hand on his shoulder, he was smiling. "She'll be okay. She just got a little scared."

Cosmo gave him a look. "Little? She stood there traumatized after seeing just one spider and, now, she's unconscious! I don't think that's little." Cosmo huffed. Gishezpak shrugged. "My point is, she'll be okay." Gishezpak looked at Xanna. She looked very peaceful; she didn't look like she was unconscious because she was terrified by tons of spiders, she looked like she was sleeping and having a sweet dream. Gishezpak took his hand off of Cosmo's shoulder. "She looks peaceful."

Cosmo looked down at his sister-like friend. "The only reason she's this afraid of spiders is because when she was four, she went exploring in the Ghostlands and ran into a giant spider. Because she was little, she thought it was a puppy and tried to play with it. Heh."

Gishezpak tilted his head to the side. "That's…um… What happened after that?"

"Spider tried to feed her to it's kids, of course."

"Ah."

Cosmo rubbed Xanna's hair again. "Yeah. She's been terrified of spiders since. And that's why she passed out. Not because she's just some chicken." He said in a defensive voice.

"It's okay. Perfectly understandable." Gishezpak said calmly, trying to get Cosmo to calm down.

"'Kay guys. You can come over here." Akazil said. And, for some reason, he was covered in mud. Everyone burst out into laughter. "Oh, shut up." Akazil said, very annoyed.

'Haha.' Ixxy laughed. She looked over to Xanna. 'C'mon, you know that was funny.' She said, pretending Xanna was still awake and disapproving of Ixxy's laughter.

The group followed Akazil to the safe spot he had found. It was a nice, little, cozy spot. Nice and soft dead grass to lay down on, plenty of trees to hide them from monsters; and just the right amount of moonlight showing through them.

Cosmo tilted his head as he stared at the moonlight. "Why is the moon up when it's only eleven in the morning?"

"Daylight savings time?" Gishezpak answered.

"The daylight doesn't need to be saved that much."

"The moon likes to be up early?"

"…"

"It was lonely?"

"……"

"Um…uh… I don't know!" Gishezpak started to freak out a little. He hated not knowing things and answering questions wrong. But it wasn't his fault; it was his blood elf teacher's fault. 'Stupid teacher.' He thought.

"Gizzy, calm down. No one cares if you don't know why the moon is up." Akazil said.

Hearing that made him feel a little better. If they didn't care, he didn't. And after being re-assured that it was okay for not knowing something, he laid down on the grass.

"So, what do we do now, Ak?" Makaza asked.

Akazil shrugged. "Dunno. We were following Xanna and now she's unconscious so, I guess we just wait 'til she wakes up." He answered and laid down on the grass like Gishezpak had done.

"Or we could go back there and kick some spider ass." Dethiam grinned at the thought of killing Naraxis. She wanted to kill him slowly. "I wanna kill that big spider. Making little holes in his back, stabbing out his eyes, cutting his legs off and then his head. And then I'll watch him wait for death as he slowly dies." She laughed.

Everyone stared at her. "That's it, you just lost your head privileges." Mokoki said. He took off Dethiam's head and put it in one of his bags. Her body punched his shoulder. "Put my head back on!" She shouted from the bag.

Mokoki pushed over Dethiam's body. "No."

"Now!"

"Maybe tomorrow. Night." Mokoki said and passed out instantly. The bag he had put Dethiam's head in began to hop around. She was having a fit. She was yelling all kinds of things but no one understood them because her yells were muffled.

Makaza and Ezekiel quietly laughed. "Go to sleep." Akazil told him as he stared at the sky. "But I'm not tired."

"I don't care. Go to bed."

"Fine." Makaza said and laid down. He used one of his bags for a pillow and cuddled up with Ezekiel. They both fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the bag.

'Not tired my ass.' Akazil thought. He chuckled a little bit. Then he looked over at Cosmo and Xanna.

Cosmo was setting things up so Xanna could be comfortable as she slept. He pulled out a blanket from a bag, put it on the ground. "Okay Mittens, lay down." Mittens laid down at the top of the blanket, Cosmo placed Xanna on the blanket and made sure Mittens was comfortable and that Xanna was okay with the cat pillow. After that, he pulled out another blanket and put it on her and laid down, holding her close, making sure nothing would take her as everyone slept. He kissed Xanna's forehead then fell asleep.

It took Akazil and hour to fall asleep. He couldn't stop thinking about Xanna and how close she was to dying and how terrified she was of the spiders. He felt like it was his fault.

Before he fell asleep, Akazil looked at Xanna one more. 'I promised Cosmo she wouldn't die and I'm gonna make sure she doesn't.' He told himself. "Goodnight, Xanna."

He saw Xanna smile in her sleep. He smiled a little then fell asleep himself.

They watched the kids fall asleep. Most of their attention on Xanna. Seda reached out a hand, wanting to touch her sweet head and kiss it like Cosmo had done. Louis placed a hand on her shoulder; she looked at him, looked back at Xanna and slowly lowered her hand. "Goodnight, Xanna." She said softly.

"Goodnight, daddy's little princess." Louis said.

After saying their goodnights to their daughter, they went to go find a safe spot nearby to go to bed.

'We'll all be together again, some day. I promise.' Louis thought.

*gasps* Xanna has parents! And Cosmo said a swear! And who is this guy 'Elros'?! How was the group able to ignore all of Dethiam's yells while she was in the bag?! :O

What will happen next? I don't know and I won't know 'til I write it! And neither will you guys! So stay tuned!

Lol. Seriously, I hope you guys liked this chapter. Sorry if it was a bit dramatic but I thought I should toss in a little drama.
