Chapter five~ The Celebratory Party

Not too much later, Fukayna and I found ourselves in Digger's room with multiple bottles of alcohol. Not the cheap stuff you'd find in Victoria Island, this was the nice stuff you would get from Orbis. Its intoxicating effects hit you almost immediately, making you stumble and trip and be unable to think. We sat around in the room with the bottles in our hands, somehow managing intelligent conversation about the old days.

"A-and remember that that that one when Eckhart was all like WOOOOOAAAAHHHH YOU'VE GOTTEN SOOOOOO STRONG and I was just all like yeah." Fukayna slurred.

"Oh my God I totally remember that and he was just being all Eckharty and stuff and it was scary. Eckhart is scary. I don't like him. Do you have waffles here?" I asked Digger, who was the only one that seemed unaffected by the drink. He just sat and smirked deviously at me.

"I used to have a pet turtle, and... and his name was Wallace. He was the coolest turtle EVER..." Fukayna rambled on.

"What happened to... um... what was his name again?"

"Joey, the turtle. He ran away."

"Turtles don't run, Fukayna." Digger corrected her.

"They don't?!" She gasped. "My whole life has been a lie! A LIIIEEEEEEEE!" She fell over backwards, asleep on the floor.

"Holy sh*t! A dead body! Digger, get a stick! Let's poke it!" I screeched.

Okay, our conversation wasn't INTELLIGENT, but it was conversation. Digger just lightly chuckled and carried Fukayna off to her room. When he returned, I stood and began to wobble to the door. "There's a kangaroo... in your closet... it's gonna kill me... I better go..." and then I fell, but he caught me just in time and held my head to his chest.

"There's no kangaroo, Caddie." He chuckled, then grabbed my chin and made me look up at him. "My my, you are drunk, aren't you?"

I did not know the answer at the time, so I simply said "It's rrrreeeaaalllyyy freaking hot in here."

"Well, it's no wonder. You're still in your Night Walker gear." He pointed out.

"Oh, yeah, I am, aren't I?" And then I began stripping down to my underwear and undershirt and flopped into his queen sized bed, curling up in a ball like a cat.

He smiled deviously once more and lay on his side next to me, tracing over my skin with his index finger. The gesture was soft and gentle, tickling a little and bringing goose bumps to the surface. He flattened his hand when it reached my thigh, and lingered a little. "I don't know why you can't love me like I love you." He mumbled. I quietly moaned in response with no audible words.

Moments passed in silence, until he made a move. He unfurled me from my compact little ball and laid me flat on my back. "You're so f*ckin' hot when you're wasted." He mumbled into my ear once he had straddled me. I grew a little scared. Digger had never spoken to me like that, or spoken like that in general. His voice was over flowing with a tasteful, sadistic lust. For a moment I prayed Nate were here to save me, but I knew I was on my own with this. And I also knew I was too intoxicated to stop him from doing whatever he wanted.

He threw his mouth onto my throat as his hands began to wander over me, soft yet somehow rough kisses trailing their way up until they were at my mouth. Something poked the inside of my leg and I immediately was scared sober. He sensed me tense up and stopped. "I'm sorry, Caddie. I went too far." He said, and rolled off of me. I got up and walked back to my room without and trips or stumbles.

The way I was awoken the next morning was much less than desirable. Somehow, someway, Nate was there. I have no clue when he got there, or why he was there, he was just THERE. Staring at me. Imagine waking up to a face belonging to someone you were not on speaking terms with last time you checked. What were you supposed to do then?

"Why on Earth are you here?" I asked, trying not to sound pissed off. "And I beg you to tell me Will isn't here too." I already started trying to remember how I had gotten back to my room from Digger's, but pulled up a blank card.

"Oh yeah, he's here all right. He's such a happy camper, too. He's currently outside Lady Cygnus's throne room, waiting for you. They said they wouldn't start the meeting until you came."

I had kept the empress waiting?! Why had no one woke me up?! Slightly frustrated, I dressed in Night Walker gear and flash jumped my way down the halls. Mihile, Oz, Irena, Hawkeye, and Eckhart all stood on one wall of the hallway while Will leaned up against the one opposite of them. He didn't look at all happy- like he would rather be trampled by Balrogs than go to this meeting.

"Hello Cadiera," Eckhart greeted me. "So nice of you to join us."

"My severe apologies, lord Eckhart. No one woke me up on time. I had no idea my brother would be getting here this early." I apologized.

"Wait, you KNEW I was going to be called here?!" William roared at the top of his lungs.

Eckhart dashed to my side and pushed me behind him. "You are not to speak to one of our best knights in such a manner, whether you be related or not. You are beneath us, do not forget this!" He roared in equal volume.

The racket drew Lady Cygnus from her throne room. "Cadiera, William, Eckhart, what is going on here?"

"This Dual Blade SCUM spoke disrespectfully to Cadiera. I was simply defending one of our best knights." Eckhart spat, not looking away from Will.

"Now now boys, let us take this inside the throne room. We do not want to attract attention, do we now?"

"No, my Lady." Eckhart grumbled.

We all meandered into the throne room; Will throwing me venomous looks the entire time as if to say "This is isn't over."

I think you know what to do.

Until next time!
