Chapter 8: Silent like Shiho

" Aroura are you sure you know where you are going?" Crystal whispered to her sister. Once they had left Aroura took the lead and ran towards the back entrance where the workers came in. And trailed through the garden. Stopping every so often.
" Yes its just a little further." She said making her way to the center of the garden. " Now where was.... Ah here it is!" She said running towards a fountain. No one knew what was so important about a fountain. But knew it imediatly when Aroura tapped a tile and a small opening appeared.
" Follow me." She said running down the opening. They followed closely. Crystal in the back and the others in the middle.
" Aikka I'm scared." Aya said hugging Aikka closer. He wrapped his arms around her hoping to calm her was walking behind Don who wouldnt stop looking back every minute. And everyone else walking prepared for anything. Aroura stopped suddenly at a intersection of three tunnels.
" Whats the matter?" Crystal asked from the back. Hoping it wasnt bad.
" Umm I kinda forgot which tunnel to take." Aroura replied tring to not scare everyone. But that didnt happen. Aikka felt Aya slip to the turned to see her friend on the floor.
" Aya are you okay?" Eva asked wondering what had happened.
"..nel." Aya whispered faintly.
" What?" Eva asked not sure what she had said.
" Take the first tunnel." Aya said a bit more loudly before passing out into Aikka's arms.
" I'll take her." He said lifting her up." We better get going." Everyone nodded as they started down the designated tunnel. Minutes passed before they came upon a small stream that was glowing a faint gold color. Aroura passed it, but not without a small bow and a faint whisper. They all passed it wondering the same thing, what was it about that stream that made them feel weak? Crystal did the same thing as her older sister before moving on.
" No one followed you did they?" Someone asked from the shadows.
" Not a single person." Cyrstal replied while walking to the front.
" Thats on out everyone." They said as 4 men and 3 women came out. Jordan reconized one of the people instantly, Tanit.
" Hello Jordan. Aikka I see you came to." Tanit said while bowing.
" Who are these people?" Aikka asked setting Aya down on the floor.
" The guys are Yvon,Toraji, and Seiran. The girls are Kallen, Rieka and the quiet one is Shiho. She is mute so she more than likely wont interact with you. And I am Tanit pleased to met you." He said looking around at familiar faces and ones he did not reconize." Jordan who are the others beside you?"
" Oh this is Eva Wei, Don Wei, Rick Thunderbolt, Koji Minomoto, Stan Brunet, Princess Mikuru and Misuru. And my sister Aya." Jordan said looking at his little sleeping sister.
" Right follow me." He said walking down the dark tunnel. A little ways down there was a small light. They exited the tunnel to see a small town. Busy with people running back and forth.
" What is this?" Eva asked.
" This is our emergancy base. If something happens to the town they come under here. Tents are set up and so are gaurd stations all around this area. But sadly this isnt the best place to be with who is attacking us right now. Because they know about this place and they also know how to get in here. Thats why this place is on high alert. You will all be in one large tent. You will be rooming with the royals of Nourasia and Nevolence." Tanit said as they started walking through the little town. Even the children were helping the adults out. A small sound came to their ears. It sounded something like someone yelling a name. It became more clear with each passing moment.
" Mikuru, Misuru, Aikka!" A women yelled. They turned around to see Queen Nori rushing towards them.
" Mother!" Misuru yelled as she ran towards her mother." Where is father?" She asked.
" He's with Edward trying to find out what is going to happen." She stopped when she saw Aroura and Crystal." Crystal, Aroura can you come with me for a minute?" She asked. They followed her. She said something and Crystal started to yell.
" What do you mean? Why would they do that? I thought.." she started to cry as she ran back to the group.
" Eva I need to speak to you later tonight." She said before walking off to sit on a rock. And it was like that for many minutes. Silence, nothing happening to stop it. Nothing could stop the feeling growing in everyones stomache. Something bad was going to happen and nothing or no one could stop it, and they knew it. They finally went to find some place to let Aya rest. Finally stopping at the tent Tanit spole of. When they entered they saw Shiho bent over. She rose up, revealing vindu and lyceanya in a medium cage. Eva resisted the urge to go and see her pet. Instead she helped Aikka put Aya on a cot. Shiho walked over to Aya. Silently sitting on her knees and putting her hand on Aya's forehead. Aikka watched as this girl whispered into Aya's ear, while humming something to Aya.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
In Aya's mind ( this is what she is thinking)
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
'Where am I?' She looked around at what was around her. A bloody field of bodies. Arrows and gunshots in everyone of them. She screamed as she ran tring to get away from there. Stopping at what looked like the palace. A two girls laying on the steps. Crystal and Aroura layed there motionless.
' NO NO You cant be..' She started crying while looking at her friends.
' Aya run. You have to get away from here.' She looked back to see Jordan, bloody and barely breathing. He fell forward. Another scream was let out as darkness came over her. Pure darkness consumed her.
' My child you look like something bad has happened.' An erie voice said. She twirled around to see a man in red standing next to three girls that where floating above what would have been ground.' This is what should happen and will. I have spent many years tring to get all four of you together. The man said as wings unfolded from the three girls faces raised up to revealed the tear stained faces of Eva, Misuru and Mikuru.
This is what will happen. This is your destiny. I created you!' He said putting vemon into each word.
No! She yelled as her back seard in pain. Her own set of wings growing out of her. She was crying now. Tears of sadness and pain. But suddenly the darkness disapeared.
We'll met again. He said as he laughed darkly.
Aya Wilde you will not subcome to this darkness. You musnt. Believe in your possiblities. A faint voice said. Aya opened her eyes to see Aikka staring at her and a girl standing over her. The girl left as Aikka rushed to hug her.
" I'm so glad your back." He said allowing his tears to flow down his face.
" I'm back." She said quietly as she let her own tears roll down. They stayed like that until Eva came in and said that King Lao was back with King Edward. And that they also had news with them. He left her saying that he would be back in a bit. She decided this would be a good time to rest. Knowing what might appear in her dream. But she would risk the chance, as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
