An OC from MistXShadow. And… I'm just going to say it, never leave a review like that again.
Reading it gave me a headache. I'm not joking.
"What the hell?" Said the man in the suit.
"Did you think you could kill me? With a bullet? You just put on a suit and pull a gun, and you can kill anybody huh?" Said Cepter.
"What are you…?"
"Think your some hot-shot huh? Some bastard who can do anything when he wears his best?"
"What the hell are you..?"
"Wrong!" Cepter punched the suited man and made him fly through the window back into my house.
"Don't hit the Boss!" Said Buff running to strike Cepter. Cepter round house kicked Buff in the face. Buff fell back landed on Torch.
"Now leave before I REALLY hurt you." Torch and Buff ran off, the suited man walked away dusting off his suit. Cepter's mood seemed to change from killer to calm and cool. He lit a cigarette, and helped Kei inside the house. Kei and I sat at the small dining table; Cepter began looking through the house. Kei was beginning to stop crying, while doing so she started talking to me.
"What was that all about..?" She asked me.
I took a deep breath and replied. "I don't know."
She smiled to me. To see her smile after all that happened gave me strength and courage, I couldn't help but to smile back. Cepter came back in with bandages, and start wrapping it around Kei's wounds.
"Thank you." She said to him.
"How did you know they'd be here?" I asked.
"I didn't. I just followed you home. I have been on this kind of assignment before. I've learned to find out who I'm dealing with."
"But the Princess just hired you." I replied.
"I didn't say I got my work from the Princess." He finished bandaging Kei.
The sun began setting. "Mr. Cepter, do you know of a safe place we could go for the night?" Asked Kei in her sweet voice.
"The castle is the only place I really know." Cepter began walking out the broken door. Kei and I followed. We walked to the castle and made it right about when the sun was fully set. The guards greeted us warmly. Cepter led us to a guest room. He left us there without telling us where he'd be.
Kei passed out nearly immediately. It wasn't so easy for me. I tossed and turned thinking about the events that had transpired throughout the day. It was all just so sudden, the illness of my mother, and the attack of the strange men. I just starred at the small candle until it went out.
That night in a tower far away, voices began.
"Did you find anything?"
"No sir."
"And why not?"
"Cepter appeared."
"Hm, the irony is sort of amusing."
"Yes sir."
"But do not let it happen again."
"Yes sir."
The sun hadn't even begun to rise and Cepter already woke us up. He said to go to the kitchen and get breakfast; the chef would be expecting us. Kei asked him where he was going. He told her it wasn't her business.
We ate breakfast and awaited Cepter's return. It had been hours before he came back. It was half an hour until noon when Kikioshi called us into the Throne Room. Kikioshi looked tired and worn, as if she just came from battle. No one seemed to mind though. She presented four warriors.
"These four will go with you on your mission. You will get acquainted on your way. Before you go to Roslyn though, I want you to find someone, and take him with you." Kikioshi handed Cepter a paper. He studied it for a second and then nodded to Kikioshi. "You are dismissed."
Cepter began walking towards the exit, the Warriors followed Cepter. Kei and I followed them.
"Who do we have to go see?" Kei asked Cepter.
"That is for me to know." Cepter said.
"C'mon, tell me." She persisted.
"Kei, it doesn't matter." I intervened. Kei sighed.
"Ok…" She looked over to one the warrior with a beard, and his choice of wears were chain mail. "What's your name?"
In a Swedish accent he said "Acke. My purpose in life is to kill the man that murdered my father, and I will do so with my father's axe. With this axe I have killed many ah heartless."
"What about you?" Kei looked to a masked man. He had a katana strapped to his back. The rest of his body was covered in black leather.
"Kain. I search for the murderer of my wife. That is all you need to know."
"Umm. Okay…" She looked to the third. "And who are you?"
She had blonde hair with blue and pink streaks. She wore a red tank top with jeans. She had a cat on her shoulder.
"My name is Ember, and this is Jinx." She said as she pointed to the cat. The cat seemed to whisper in her ear.
The next one was no doubt an elf. He had pointy ears, long blonde hair and held a Bow.
"My name is Lanolar Woodsong. I fight for my people." And that proved it.
Kei introduced me and herself. She didn't bother with Cepter. She figured they already knew.
So we kept walking, out of the Kingdom, and through the fields. I didn't realize that the plains continued for so long until then. We came to a village shortly after the sun set. Cepter found a Pub/Inn for us to stay for the night. Kei and I went to the room. The others stayed downstairs for a drink. Seconds after I laid my head down, I heard a scream from downstairs.
