Chronicles of the Black Blood
x
"What do you mean, Arme?" Elesis stared at me, her eyes narrowing with every second that elapses.
I told them, "The green mist is an alchemist skill. It's effects: it can change a person's way of thinking and easier the percentage to deceit a person. Kind of magician's poison. The dark shadows is a gift - almost all of the mudbloods have special abilities but only Anad had that kind of ability to hide in the shadows. Dark sky: weather change, a magician skill."
"And alchemist. What is that?" the so called leader asked.
"It's magician's second job. Haven't heard of that, Ely?" Amy had asked. Her face was also neutral.
"So you mean, you know something about Anad?" My brows twitched at Ronan. I shrugged and avoided their entire gazes.
"Yes."
"Care to tell us something 'bout her?" I can sense anger in his tenor voice.
"Care to tell us why you didn't tell us from the start!" Elesis raised her voice.
"You didn't ask." I responded simply.
"But that didn't mean you shouldn't share!" shouted the red head.
I let out a sigh, "So it's my fault now."
"I didn't said that." amazement was evident in her voice.
"That's what you're trying to say!" I shouted back.
"You're just another member here." Elesis told me with a stern glare as she carefully drew her sword. "And this organization disposes of enemies, potential or not. So, if you do not cooperate with us, I have no other option but do it the rough way."
"Wow, is that a threat?" I rolled my eyes and stood up, "Did I ever deceive you? Tell me, did I ever gave a wrong information? Did ever once, I attacked you from behind? I didn't... right?" I asked slowly.
She gritted her teeth.
"So tell me, what did I do to make you hate me?" I shouted straight to her, I didn't have anything in response; just a pair of amazed crimson orbs staring back at me. I stomped in anger.
"Wait, where are you going?" Amy called, her voice somehow affected.
"I'm scouting for the night." I stopped, turned to her and despite how I felt, I smiled. "I'll be back by midnight."

Lass's POV
Silence filled the air after the door closed.
Couple of seconds more, Elesis kicked the hut's wall.
"Damn it!" she cried. From here, I could barely see her face but she bit her lips.
After a pause, Lire asked. "Do you want me to get her?" the blonde had a comforting smile.
"Yes, please." Amy uttered silently.
"Don't." Ronan stated. Ryan, Jin and I stared at him in disbelief. Normally he's the one to push us and get the hurting one. "Let Arme scout." I cringed.
Just which side are you on?
I let out a soft annoyed sigh.
"And Lass," he began. "Don't go out looking for her. She's new and she needs to realize that this is how we work. You shouldn't pamper her."
"Says the hypocrite." I snickered as I saw his reaction. I walked to the door, carefully opening it and said before leaving. "Don't worry, I won't look for her. Just out for a walk."
I gazed at the sky and let out a shrug. Really? I won't go look for her? To whom am I lying?
Wait! NO. I am NOT looking for her. Even though she's stupid, annoying, a brat, pretty much more of a klutz than Amy... Huh? Nuh uh. Amy's klutzer. If there is such word.
I decided to climb a random tree and sit on the branch. Now let's brainstorm. Arme happens to know something after all. Well, makes point since Exii didn't persue the topic, she didn't told whatever she knew.
So... by any chance... does she happen to know something about me?
I mean... yeah, the hag took me as a vessel and they resurrected her. So I hope they get a little chit chat before everything happened.
Damn, this is so not me.
I closed my eyes and sighed.

I lay there for like eternity but not when a flash of light just passed through my eye level and hit the tip of the branch of where I was. It caused me the branch to shake a little violently then break. I jumped and landed with a tuff. I checked out the branch and rolled my eyes.
Yep, burnt edge. Just what I wanted to see after getting stressed. Not like I would chose to show anyone that.
Anyway, I gazed unto the direction, as the day's about to shift perfectly to night, is was normal to attempt to lighten a fire. But what kind of human would play with fire with that power and speed?
I began to investigate. Hopefully, the so called 'scout' isn't anywhere close to death.
After a while, I hid behind a tree. Surely, something was happening there. Quickly drawing my nodachi, I took a peek, my right eye closing to adjust of sudden exposure to light.
Much to my proness, I was caught by the culprit, staring at me with wide eyes.
"Lass?" yep, incredible guess Sherlock, it was the magician. Her eyes displaying a mixture of amazement and surprise. "What the hell are you doing here?" I avoided her gaze for moments, but found myself a bit captivated of those amethysts. Instead of the inspected anger, she gave off a clueless look.
I lowered my gaze once more, sheathed my nodachi and then leaned on the nearest tree. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I stared at her, avoiding eye contact so I chose to stare at her hair. Silky plum colored locks, ending with a curl on her shoulder... it's amazing how her hair and her eyes are at the same hue...
"Lass? LASS!" I was taken back, I grunted to hide the fact that I just found myself yet literally staring at her again.
"What?" I replied, somehow harshly.
"Hmpf. Why are you spacing off so suddenly? Then when I took you back to earth you're off to your grumpy self."
I rolled my eyes, "You're stupid. That's why."
"Ohh, so my stupidity is causing you to space off!" she started to raise her voice...
I was taken back. Okay, wrong buttons. NOW WHERE'S THE KING OF PICK UP LINES, SEIGHART AT THESE MOMENTS?
Seighart on the couch, watching TV in his room with crackers and noodle cups and other kinds of food scattered around due to his schedule of Prime Time Movies. He was sitting few centimeters before the TV when…
x-x
"DAMN! THIS IS STUPID! WHY ARE YOU GOING THROUGH ALL THOSE SHIT JUST BECAUSE OF A NORMAL WOMAN? EDWARD LOOK AROUND YOU! THERE'S EVEN BUFFY AND YET ALL YOU MIND IS THAT INSANE WOMAN BELLA?" He growled and clutched his weapon.
Unexpectedly, he sneezed, tossing his weapon lightly.
Something went boom!
Seconds later, he uttered, staring at the broken television. "I think I need that…"
x-x
She huffed and crossed her arms, "Dimwit! Why are you here in the first place?"
Her chin was high in the air, her eyes closed but opened to stare at me. "Missing me already, Lassy?"
I felt my face heat up so suddenly. At this comment, I glared at her. "Nuh uh." I replied and said, "I just came to check out because someone was randomly aiming a ball of fire barely missing my feet!"
"Oh!" she sweat dropped and quickly regained her composure, "Sorry 'bout that. I was just practicing some move... 'Ya know, since I couldn't use magic at school... I prefer to practice secretly. After all I don't want to get old!" she exclaimed then pumped her clenched right fist not so high in the air.
"Ha ha hah..." I uttered, my words filled with obvious sarcasm, "With your height, I bet no one will even mistakenly think you're an old woman."
"That's a good one Lassy!" She smiled playfully and pointed her index at me, "With that hair, I bet everyone will think you're an old man!"
"Oh c'mon," I uttered and ran my left hand through my hair, "This hair? Isn't this hair what caught your attention in the first place?" then I flashed a smirk. Hah. Her reaction's priceless. Beet red face. Who's the Lad? Well, I preferred Lass because that's my name not because... wait! I am NOT gay.
Nuh uh. Not angry as well. Just clearing things up.
Ahh... Anyways, back to the topic.
Shorty let out a shrug, "Who says about catching my attention?"
"Alright, alright, don't answer that. I can clearly see you can't. I believe you harbor special feelings towards me now." my smirk grew wider. And she, was obviously on the verge of getting something to throw me. "So... Here's what I want you to answer instead: what do you plan to do now? Will you go back and apologize-"
"No way!" she literally shouted, "Me? Apologize? Is it even my fault in the first place? It's stupid Elesis'! She just accused me of being a traitor-" Huuuh? "Oh I know that look Lassy! Are you spacing off those moments? She acted as if I'm still on Anad's group! It's annoying do you know that?"
"Okay, I understand." I let out a soft sigh, "One last question... Are you sad?"
She was amused. Probably she didn't saw that coming... me too but, hey, would I tell her that I actually cared for her even from the moment I met her? No. Totally not. That would be very awkward, so not cool and totally not me.
She let out a soft sigh this time. Then she... cracked a smile, "No." she just smiled. "I'm not sad. I can't be sad."
What? "Why?"
"Well..." her smile growing wider, "Sadness brings pain and the feeling of despair. Pain and despair brings the urge to cry, and I don't want that."
"You don't want to cry? But just from the moment I meet you, you were crying. Do you know that?"
Sometimes I can be oh, so stupid.
"I know." she paused, "But during those moments, when I was gazing to those pair beautiful of azure eyes, I know. I could trust this guy. That's what I thought. I saw a fragment of me in you. Somehow we were connected. That special bond... I don't know what it is but I like it. I like how it felt."
Is she... confessing?
"I-" and before I can speak any longer... we both heard wolf whistles coming from no other than the fighter and the wolf himself.
"I thought you won't go out and look for her!" Ryan exclaimed, jumping frantically with a wide smile.
"I knew it! You couldn't resist Arme's charms!" Jin exclaimed with a smirk, "Is she too hot for you, Lass?"
What the hell?
"N-no!" Oh yeah, go stutter. "What the hell are you two saying on the first place!"
"Well, it was something about..." Jin turned to Ryan. "'That special bond... I don't know what it is but I like it...'" Jin mimicked. Ryan played along. "'...I like how it felt... I love you.'"
Alright where did that came from?
Clash-
Our attention was taken again. This time by Lire and Amy.
"Oh... my gosh." Amy uttered, breaking into a smile. "I knew it! You two couldn't resist each other's charms!" then Amy lightly elbowed Lire, "See Lire? I knew they will end up confessing one of this days!"
"Y-yes." Ohh... someone looks disappointed.
I break out into a hysterical laughter not minding everyone else.
Now a lesson to be learned folks. Karma just come and passes easily.
