Chapter six: Firelight
Eiko screamed, seeing the face, “YU!!!
STOP!!!!!”
Yu brought his blade down before
she’d finished, only after that, realizing who it was. The assailant leapt out
of the way, being much swifter than Yu and the colossal oblivion.
Arios crossed his arms and said,
“What’d I tell you? Your slower than you are without
weapons....”
Yu clenched his teeth, “You
asshole!” He brought the oblivion back up, above his head, yelling his head
off, “I’ll slay you if you ever do something like that again! You liable to get
us killed in this mother$%^&*@# place!!!! You $%^&*@# IDIOT!!!!!”
Arios smiled, “Well, I proved my
point didn’t I?”
Eiko was still shaky but not as
before, “Arios, please.....this isn’t really the time for stuff like this, I’m
already scared out of my mind as it is......I’d rather not be double, okay?”
Arios looked at her, insultingly.
How had she not seen amusement in that? She always did before. But this was
different he supposed. He’d never pulled the wool over their eyes like that
before. Maybe he had gone too far. But did that mean he’d loose her to Yu
forever?
Yu, “Well?” He flung the oblivion
into his scabbard and glared at him.
Arios backed off. The glare he gave
always had an evil twist in it. Always menacingly watching.
What was it that was in his stare that he grew frightened of? “Whatever...”he mumbled and turned his back
to him from the stare, many questions asking themselves in his mind. “Let’s
just go....”
He began to walk down the hall. Yu rolled his eyes and followed and then Eiko, taking a deep
breath.
Eiko, “Wonderful.....I’m walking around an old, dingy prison with two complete numbskulls, this could not get any worse.....”
Yu’s arm flung her against the wall
and he and Arios clouded the wall. A pair of soldiers walked
by.
Eiko, not noticing
them and quite furious at Yu, screamed insults at him, “You idiot!!! what’d you freaking-“ His hand flew over her mouth and the soldiers
slowed their pace and looked about their surroundings for signs of life.
Yu pointed at them, “Shut up, or you’ll be the one to get us killed.....”
he added quietly.
Eiko nodded and his hand removed
itself from her mouth as the soldiers left and passed them up.
Arios, “Phew, I thought we were gettin’
ready to start a riot up in here.....” He laughed a bit
Yu glared at him, “Well you just
shut up and move?!! We’re wasting enough time as it is with you gawking around
like an idiot.......”
Arios could’ve and would’ve punched
him the hardest he ever had. Course, he knew he’d regret it. But, it seemed
that he’d regret it more if he didn’t do it. Arios took a deep breath and they continued
down the hall.
--back outside--
Tatsumi, “This is
getting quite boring....Setsuna, can we go already?”
Setsuna kept her eyes on the entry
and nodded. She then looked at Lavitz, “Leave atleast five or so minutes after
us, that’ll put enough distance betwixt us not to be noticed.”
Lavitz nodded and he glanced over at
Rose. Her eyes agreed with him and he smiled.
Tatsumi, Dart, and Setsuna entered
the prison, each close to each other, weapons raised for any hell of harm to
come.
The order became where Setsuna was
leading, Dart was sandwiched, and Tatsumi the caboose.
Tatsumi smiled the whole way down
the hall, thinking, “Vcr, vcr, vcr, vcr, vcr!!!!!!” She would’ve screamed it, but it’d bring too
much attention to their situation.
Setsuna rolled her eyes, hearing the incessant chattering of
Tatsumi’s ill loving mind. Hearing her thoughts like Mel Gibson in What Women want. She breathed in deeply
and out as well, continuing down the hall. She couldn’t keep Tatsumi from
thinking, but it sure would have been nice to.
Tatsumi, “Vcr, vcr,
vcr, vcr, vcr!!!!!!”
Dart was blissfully unaware of Tatsumi’s thoughts and his ‘vcr’.
He strode along down the hall behind Setsuna and whispered, “Why can’t I lead,
I’ve been here before...”
Setsuna stopped, along with Dart. Tatsumi Bumped into Dart,
Too busy staring at his ‘vcr’.
Tatsumi, “I’m sorry.....” She felt like smacking herself. “Dammit! I choked!!!!”
Setsuna, “So have I......numerous times...”
Dart scratched his head, “Whaddaya mean?”
Setsuna raised an annoyed eyebrow and said, “I grew up in
this vile asylum.....are you happy?”
Dart, “Um.....obviously your not.......”
Setsuna glared at him.
Dart, “Umm...not.......a.........you wanted curtains in here
or something....?”
Setsuna, “The place could have stood some......”
Dart, “Well.....then......we agree on something.....”
Setsuna, “Whatever, just shut up and com’on...” She
continued down the hall with her Flewddur raised to pierce the heart of any
enemy.
Dart exchanged looks with Tatsumi and they followed her down
the hall, retracing the wet footsteps that were placed by Arios, Yu, and Eiko
before.
--Back to Arios, Yu, and Eiko--
A
fork had been presented in front of the company, making them decide which way
to go. Arios and Yu fought over which side as quietly as their anger let them.
Arios,
“Right...”
Yu,
“I say we go left...”
Arios,
“Why left, right is already right.....”
Yu,
“That’s stupid, it’s clearly left that were destined to go...”
Arios,
“Dude! How the freak do you know of what destiny that said we go left?”
Yu,
“Premonition...”
Arios,
“Oh, so your saying you see the future now......”
Yu,
“Well, it’s more like a vibe, but, it’s wiser to go left, you never go right in
stuff like this....”
Arios,
“Says who?”
Yu,
“Other people...that’s who....and me....it makes only logical since to go
left.....”
Arios,
“Well, if other people know that, then they’d stake out left, cuz they’d know
we knew that......”
Yu,
“How would they know if we’re not here? huh? Whaddaya
say to that, genius?”
Arios,
“I-....” he stopped short, not sure of a comeback to say.
Yu
raised a curious and daring eyebrow at him.
Arios,
“Whatever, you go that way, me and Eiko will go that
way...”
Yu
glanced at Eiko whom said, “Actually, Arios.....left does seem more
promising....not that I’m targeting you or anything, but it is lit by torches
less, sensing the fact that’s where the dungeons are.....”
Yu
blinked, “ I didn’t even think about that.......left
just......premonition again......”
Arios
could see she was right. There had to be dungeons. It made only since to have
it lit as dim as it was and appeared to them.
Arios
bit his bottom lip and stared at his feet, “Dammit, let’s just go already then...”
He brushed pass Yu and Eiko down the left.
--Back to Tatsumi, Setsuna, and ‘vcr—
They
had continued the walking for a few minutes now. Tatsumi bored out of her mind
and Dart and Setsuna nervous of their surroundings.
Her
eyes dart across the area and she notices something along the gray flagstoned
walls. A red marking, similar to what had helped Eiko become an Espial. She
walks up to it and Dart notices her preoccupation with something else. Setsuna,
hearing Tatsumi’s thoughts turns to see the marking
Tatsumi,
“Who’s do you think it is?”
Dart
shrugs, “Dunno”
Setsuna,
“Well, since we are the only ones here, it stands to reason it’s one of
us.....not me, because I already am......and it couldn’t be Dart, he’s chosen to
be a dragoon.......a red one to I might add....” she raised an eyebrow at the
both of them.
Tatsumi,
“So I’m an espial...”
Setsuna
stayed quiet and glared at her.
Dart
smiled at her, “I’d say that’s a yes....”
Tatsumi
looked in his eyes and glanced away quickly. She took a deep breath and touched
the marking on the wall. And as soon as she did, she was enveloped in a red
light.
