Chapter 4- Not again
(Duncan's POV)
Duncan looked down at Honeydew, his eyes that were no longer seeing, his chest that was no longer moving. He tore his eyes away from him, focusing on the task ahead. In front of him lay a river and behind it a small wood grew. He scanned the edge of the wood taking in every detail. He must be nearby. Then he saw it. At the bottom of a tree trunk he saw a piece of black cloth.
This is stupid, he thought to himself as he took off his lab coat, hoping to have some dry clothing after he crossed the river. I can't believe she's making me do this. The water froze his skin, his now wet trousers weighing him down. I should just kill him when I get to him. The water now reached his waist. What is it about her that really convinced me? The wind collided with his soaking legs sending a cold chill though his body. Well here I go, if he attacks though, he's dead.
Duncan headed for the black cloth and walked around the trunk of the tree holding his sword out to the figure leaning against it.
"Hello Rythian." Rythian stared up at Duncan, for a second he feared him; he was vulnerable and had no weapons out to defend himself. But that fear did not last. He was fed up with this: Zoey was gone and this game was stupid, he did not like the idea of giving Duncan the satisfaction of killing him, but at least it would be over.
"Make it quick."
"I'm afraid to say, I'm not actually here to kill you, but to take you somewhere."
"Why put it off Duncan? I can tell you're just dying to slip that sword though my throat."
"You have obviously not met Kim. Try saying no to her, trust me you won't get far."
"Well if you're not going to kill me what do you want? What does this Kim want?"
"As I said, I am here to take you somewhere. Kim wants me to take you to Zoey."
"But she's, she's dead!"
"That's where you are wrong. Did you ever hear the cannon go, actually check to see if she was still breathing? I think not, now get off your backside and come with me!"
(Kim's POV)
Kim jumped when she heard the door to the house opening. She reached for her bow but relaxed when she heard a familiar voice.
"Just shut the nether up and go up the stairs already. You have no idea how hard it has been for me resisting the urge to cut you into little pieces!" She stepped away from Zoey bedside and looked at the emerging figures coming up the stairs.
(Duncan's POV)
As soon as Rythian made it up the stairs he sprinted to Zoey's side, holding her hand, checking for life, constantly repeating that he was sorry for abandoning her. He then turned his intention to Kim who, after staring at Zoey and Rythian, had run down the stairs. Zoey was up and talking now trying to convince Rythian that she was fine.
"I'll leave you two alone, shall I?" Duncan turned to the stairs and went after Kim.
(Kim's POV)
Kim was curled up in the corner, tears pricking her skin. Where had this all gone wrong?
~Flash back~
(Kim's POV 1st person)
The knocks echo through the castle, 1, 2, 3. I'm pretty sure I only knocked twice but I hear two loud knocks and a quiet one. Who am I to question sound waves? It took another round of knocking before the face of Duncan appeared looking at me questioningly. If only he knew. It felt weird seeing him again. I shouldn't be seeing him again. I shouldn't be seeing anyone here again, but you know what it's like: give me a big red button saying 'don't press' and I have just got to press it.
"Hi…" Duncan's white lab coat was covered in black ash. "What happened to you" I asked.
"Nothing, it's fine now… who are you?"
"I am…" Planning had never been my speciality but I should try and do a little bit of it. You try to introduce yourself with out a name, or a name you don't want them to know. "Kimi… or just Kim… yep that's my name!" I nodded to myself, why did I have to pick Kimi?
"OK well, why are you here?" I nearly told him, but my mind quickly changed. I decided to tell him some of the reasons, but not all. Wow, I feel tired, and there's pain, needles of pain hitting me, I began to feel light, as if I was flying, the world in front of me began to be taken over by darkness, but not before I heard Duncan mutter two words…
~End of flash back~
Two words, that meant so much. She was beating herself up inside for forgetting, at the time they had been muffled but now they stuck out like a sore thumb.
This might be my answer to what's really going on here, I just need Duncan to tell me what he knows.
Kim looked up from her cuddled position at Duncan. He stared at her, her checks were still prickled with tears but no new ones were coming.
"Not again?"
