"Rena, you are being ridiculous! We haven't even directly pinpointed where the rebels' base is. All we knows is that they're somewhere in the ruins of Hamel. And even that information is not definite!" Aisha protested, trying to bring some sense to the enraged elf. Rena was sharpening Erendil but it really didn't need to be sharpened. Erendil was always in perfect state.
"I know Raven. This was a challenge. He'll meet us halfway." She replied hotly. Aisha bit her lip. This was ruining her plans. She was hoping Elsword help Eve escape then tell Rena everything. That would give her some time to plan all of this out logically.
"You are leading us into a suicide mission! He only did this to provoke you so you could lose your temper and go after him like a reckless fool!" The mage threw her hands up in distress.
"Well, maybe I want to be provoked and a reckless fool! Maybe I want to stop letting Raven have the upper hand! Maybe I want to take Eve back already! Maybe I want to put an end to the Crow Mercenaries already! Maybe I want to stop being the second Seris!" Rena whirled around. Sharpening Erendil was no longer important.
Silence.
"Rena, you're being paranoid. You need to just sit and think about this cal—" Aisha stopped.
The elf picked up Erendil and pointed it towards the mage. Rena's expression made Aisha's body feel cold. "Don't tell me to calm down. This is your fault to begin with. If you weren't so fucking weak, Eve would still be with us and this wouldn't have had to happen."
Aisha bit her lip. She wasn't really hurt by Rena's words, but it did shock her. Right now, her priority was to calm Rena down. Her logical mind was in a tornado of thoughts and she, who always knew what to do, was at a loss for words.
Elsword lounged lazily in Aisha's room until the door slammed open, revealing a very distressed Aisha. Her eyes were brimmed with red and her nose was tinged pink.
"Hello, little mage. Tell me, what were you crying about?"
"I wasn't crying, stupid. Rena is going after your leader."
"Raven is not my leader. I don't follow anyone, so I couldn't care less. Well, that is, unless there's something in it for me too." He lazily drawled.
"You are despicable." She spat.
"Aw, don't be mean~"
"I'm not being mean. I am stating the truth. You are despicable."
"Am I?" Elsword leaped up from his hiding spot and began walking towards her. Aisha took one step back and shot him a glare, but he continued towards her. When her back met the wall, he caught her wrist and slung her onto the bed. His face was centimeters away from hers. Her face burned more than the sun and she was disgusted by how much she wanted to pull him closer. "Is that why you're so drawn to me?"
"Get off," she said through grit teeth, "now."
"Do you really want me to get off?"
No.
Before Aisha could knee him where the sun doesn't shine, Elsword jumped off and landed gracefully on his feet. Damn him and his catlike reflexes, she thought.
"Well that was a close one—"
"Aisha, I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier! I was just ma—" Rena opened the door.
Oh...
"Rena. Before you—"
"Trapping Arrow!" Rena lifted her bow and fired a twig-like arrow at Elsword, who easily dodged. Twig traps littered the ground in a straight line. Elsword smirked and clapped.
"Not bad, elf. But not good enough to even ruffle my hair." His eyes went to Aisha. "We'll meet again, little mage. However, it'll be on the battlefield." He jumped out of the window.
Rena looked at me.
fuck.
Eve's nap was fitful. She woke up at the slightest sound, gasping and terrified. She hasn't slept like this since her first night in the horrid room. She was just drifting off until the heavy iron door swung open with a loud creak. She groaned extra loudly for the person to hear.
"Get up. We have to go. Chung's steely voice woke her completely. She jolted up and patted down her disheveled hair. She glared at him but followed him out anyway.
"What's going on?" She yawned.
"Your army are coming."
Eve stopped and choked on her yawn. "W-well, of course. My subjects swore loyalty to me."
"So we're leaving."
"Don't be ridiculous. Where will we go? How will we go? You can't possibly pack up everything and just leave. You can't abandon this place either. It took you years to build this."
"We as in you and me." He replied.
"What!?" Eve shrieked. "Where?!"
"Sander."
"Sander is on the other side of the map! Even on horseback, the trip takes weeks and—"
"So we're going to teleport."
Eve stopped. Teleportation? Only people with high magical abilities can do that. Aisha did it like it was child's play, but her range was small. How on Elrios could Chung do it? "That's—"
"Please shut up. This requires magic, which I have little of. So I need to focus." He led her into Raven's office and dug out some old, brown parchment paper. It was cut into a perfect rectangle. He took paint an drew a complicated symbol on it before he grabbed Eve's hand. She ignored the fluttering of her heart.
"If you're motion sick, close your eyes." He muttered. Chung inhaled and ripped the paper in half.
Darkness washed over her.
Author's Note: HI GUYS! Sorry for dying on you guys. For some reason, a HUGE case of writer's block washed over me. It was like a bullet to the face! I was typing this chapter and I suddenly couldn't think of anything else to write. I've been trying to cure my writer's block with watching Kuroko No Basket, eating, and reading horrible shoujo manga. AND I KNOW, this chapter was short! But hey, better than nothing right?
Kat Winn- KAT! DX
