Eivexst: So then ready for the next chapter people?

Marche: Weather we like to or not?

Shara: Oh I have a feeling this is going to be very out of character... just like the rest of this story so far is.

Eivexst: Talk about breaking the fourth wall, any way I don't own any part of Final fantasy tactics advance.

? POV: I couldn't believe she did that, I need to get that woman to larn her place, but this shift in reality is just the cover we were all looking for, soon we can go into action, but not yet.

I sat there looking at the poor fool, he would never see what I have planned comming. "Just you wait Pentral, you'll wish you never made that pact when we're through with you." with that I stood and leaped out from the window going through along with a heavy sand cloud that passed by.

Ritz's POV: I woke up and noticed two things, one Shara wasn't back yet and two there was a lot of movement in the hall way and got out of bed I had fallen asleep in my armor do to how long I waited for Shara to come back and I was feeling a crick in my neck because of it.

I went down stairs and I didn't see Marche or Shara down there. "Hey Aksel greece!" The bangaa came charging up to me with a large scowel on his face.

"What did you call me!?" I smiled once he was next to me led him away from the rest of them making sure no one was near by.

"Aksel what happened to Marche and Shara, where are they?" He gave me his usual stare that was some where between and a galre and some where between a relaxed gaze.

All he did was point at the pub as he walked away from me and I saw him pick up a bottle full of a red liquid before I moved towards the door and left moving towards the pub with a odd feeling in my gut.

I saw Umbra and Nelly both in the pub sitting on two chairs set at the top where the second floor was. "Umbra, Nelly are Marche and Shara here?" I asked as I ran up the steps and I saw them exchange looks before Umbra nodded and opened the door for me.

I looked at him and saw his look wasn't the cold one he usually wears, this time his face held a look of hurt on it. "Just... don't try to wake them." he said as he sat back down holding his head in a single hand as Nelly put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

I stepped in and what I saw made me freeze where I was standing pressing a hand over my mouth to repress the gasp that would have come out other wise, Shara was slightly pale and looked like she was crying, Marche was the one that made me freeze, he was very pale and there were bandages on his torso similar to the ones Umbra has on but the ones on his side were red.

"T-this is..." I couldn't even finish as I fell to my kneese from the shock of it and saw Umbra walk past me with a pale of cold water as he set it down next to Marche.

"Miss Malheur, leave the room it wont be pretty what you're about to see and I need to clean his wound again before we put any more cure spells or potions in to try and speed up the healing." I mutely nodded my head not having the will to even bother arguing right now and sat out side where Nelly pulled me into a hug, it's odd how I now see her as an older sister.

After about thirty minutes I saw Umbra walk out and the bandages on his arms were slightly red now as he took in a slightly shuddering breath with his eyes slited. "I cleaned the wound and aplied another Angel whisper spell, so his wound will start healing faster now." He said as he wiped his face from some of the sweat that was there.

"Umbra, are you alright?" He looked at me and I saw a odd gaze there it was him staring at me, but something in the back of my mind was screaming at me for some reason and I could tell Nelly felt it too do to how her grip tightened just slightly.

"Yes, I just need to get some air, excuse me." He said with a odd mix between sylvan and human as I saw him walk out side.

"W-what was that about?" Nelly asked me and I shrugged not knowing what just happened my self after a while I heard some one groaning in the room and looked to see Shara was opening her eyes.

"W-where am I?" And there was the all important question. "Ritz?" She looked down and gasped when she saw Marche on the bed next to hers and she looked like she was going to cry again.

"Shara, it's okay you and Marche are safe alright, I promise you two are okay!" I said as I ran over and hugged her as I felt her shaking a tiny bit from a couple hiccuping sobs and I rubbed her back in a comforting matter.

[I swear, I won't let something like this happen again, not if I can help it.]

Umbra's POV: Curse it all, Marche's wound was worse then I thought when I was cleaning it, his blood got onto my arms and the smell of that crimson liquid is making me go crazy, but I'm not a vampire that much I know for a fact, it must be all the stress lately getting me is all.

"What the hell do I do?" I felt some one behind me and forced them onto the wall when I heard a weapon drawn I saw that it was a woman and backed away as she only smirked.

"Well now, I forgot how jumpy you could be s-" I recognized her in the middle of her sentance and slammed a hand over her mouth, she had silver hair and red eyes she wore a odd sort of gown similar to how the queen dresses but hers covered her true attire.

"How dare you try to speak my true name you damned devil!?" I whispered loudly and much to my chagrin I had to make it look like I was with this woman as bistanders passed by.

"Oh, is that any way to treat me Umbra?" She said with a oddly whiny tone in her voice that made me all the more mad. "I suppose you won't let things go will you dear?"

I pulled a small knife out of my pocket putting it against her stomach. "Make so much as another attempt at that and I will kill you right here, right now."

She sighed and pushed the knife away walking a little away from me and turned winking. "You have become quite a catch now don't you go forgetting it Umbra, I'll be back one day and you might enjoy it against your self." She said and I threw the knife at her making her go high into the sky where I saw her yellow wings and tail come out as she flew away.

I knew she could still hear me and I scowled feeling that odd feeling wash over me. "I swear I will find you one day and I will kill you woman, one day you'll pay... spades."

With that hearing her all to obviously concealed laugh in the form of a thunder drakes roar I went into the pub making sure to leave the knife there since it was a common form and wouldn't be traced to me, and I focused on keeping my face passive as I came up the steps.

Eivexst: Glare at me all you want Shara doesn't change my mind on my writing style.
