Chapter 7
Hard Won Freedom.
Cruise Control.
I looked up as I ran after the pretty unicorn. A scream reached my ears and
I looked forward, then heard an echo behind me. I listened harder and heard
a large animal crash though the bush near me. I took off in the way I had
come, my six year old legs pumping though the underbrush. I entered just
a few steps behind the other four people. The pretty, blond haired girl who
I had left tending the fire was being surrounded by the two boars that had
killed my guardians. I screamed in fury and was engulfed in magic fire. And
sent a fireball hurling toward one of the boars.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Matt looked at the young girl they had rescued though a giant fireball at
one of the boars, the mate to the one he and the other's left marks in. She
tossed another fireball at the boar that had a dagger in it's side. It was
envloped in fire and even the dagger melted in the heat.
He caught the little girl just as she hit the ground in a "dead" faint. Kitty
checked her pulse then nodded at Jim, who went and looked at Suzi. She was
just shaken up and kitty took her aside to calm her. Derrick moved the now
roasted mate boar to the other side of the clearing. Matt lifted the girl
into his arms. She weighed almost nothing and was easy to carry to the rest
of the group.
Derrick borrowed a dagger from Jim and started slicing the boar's meat. Kitty
almost gagged, but soon, was cutting next to him. Suzi took a warm piece
of meat from Jim and looked at Matt, who was looking at the girl child in
his arms. "What are we going to name her?" asked Kitty wrapping the last
of the meat in some leather strips.
"I'm not sure," replied Suzi looking at the boys. "We don't even know who
is going to take care of her..." It was that moment that the little girl
slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Matt, then over at the rest. Her eyes
stopped as she gazed upon Suzi. "Mommy." she whispered, Matt heard and as
it seemed some how so did Suzi. She walked over and picked up the little
girl by the arms.
Suzi smiled into the child's hair. Matt smiled fondly over at the both of
them. Suzi looked into the lightening sky and winced. Kitty noticed and shook
her head as if to clear it. "Come on bozo butts." Kitty smiled and kicked
Derrick's butt lightly. "We need to get Suzi into a Inn or something so the
sun doesn't do it's 'dirty"' work"
Suzi smiled at her friends and stood. False dawn past and it was soon dark
again. Whisper walked in between Matt and Suzi, holding their hands. Kitty
and Derrick played forward guard, Jim back guard. It made for an odd looking
group, but soon they found their way into a small village.
As the group headed toward the Inn, dawn started to crest over the forest,
and they had to make a run into the Inn. From the outside the Inn had a rough
appearance which said nothing for the inside. You could almost feel the rats
now. And start itching the flea bites. Whisper rubbed her neck as she looked
up at the over large innkeeper.
§§§§§§§§§§Whisper§§§§§§§§§§§§§
I stared at the Inn keeper as he walked past, to Kitty and Derrick. Derrick
looked down at the pudgy little man and tried not to laugh. Kitty hid her
smile behind her hand as three, over large, and well breasted women walked
out of the back door. (WARNING! if you are of sensitive nature, I suggest
skipping this part... adolescent humor, as my dear Mama would tell me.But
then, since the ORIGAL Suzi thought this up. LOL I guess itÕs 20 something
humor too!!!! Love you Mum!)
The first, who's name was Daffodil, wore yellow. Her black stringy, oily
hair flooded her face with curls, took Mommy upstairs into one of the bedrooms.
Another lady, named Lily, took Kitty by the arm with promises of new more
"stylish" clothes into the back room. The third, named Daisy, lured her father,
the inn keeper away. Me and the boys sat at a table.
Their deep voices mesmerized me in awe. They all were talking about Star
wars? I didn't know what that was, but they seemed to know a lot about it.
I smiled and nodded my head to Derrick's "are you hungry?" question.
When the one of the girls came in, Daffodil came in and started to flirt
at Matt. I light heartily lit her hair on fire. Her face turned red as she
snuffed it out. Saying it was "High time for little girls to go to bed."
But by this time the boys had liked having me around, so they didn't take
the hint, thank goodness.
Soon Daisy and Lily came back, each flirting at one guy. Soon Matt, Jim and
Derrick went bonkers. Matt stood up and started to walk over to the bar.
Daffodil stood as well and did something I just don't understand. She touched
him below his sword belt. His eyes almost bugged out of his head. Jim and
Derrick, I noted were getting the same treatment.
When they had their eyes away from me, I felt a tap on my shoulder, the inn
keeper had come back and offered me a piece of candy. I am not stupid I muttered
under my breath. I kindly screamed for "Mommies!!!" And heard her run down
stairs. Matt, Jim and Derrick all turned bright red and their ummm ladies
weird antics. Suzi took one look at the Inn keeper and vamped out. Kitty
pulled out a sword and got a blood lust look on her face.
((Okay people. Now it's just gore, blood and guts sort of thing... If you
didn't like that I suggest scanning and meeting me later. Of Course, most
of this Part is blood/guts/gore and romantic stuff. :lol: So maybe you should
just skip to generations!))
She leaped onto the innkeepers body. Drinking his blood she turned on the
paling women. Derrick's, lady, found herself at horn point, then a suskabob.
Normal girls of five years of age would have been grossed out. Not me, I'd
seen so much gore, yet I don't remember where...
Jim turned into a wolf and feasted on the woman who had been flirting with
him. Then after a few minutes I sighed and skipped out the door. I heard
Matt, mummy Suzi and the others call for me to do something. So I took it
as permission to skip on across the street. I walked toward a building, with
armor in the windows.
Yet one more, gore ridden, Battle Scene. Rated PG 13
"Whisper!" called Matt spotting the little girl skip out of the tavern. Kitty
grabbed some "normal" food and with the boys run out the door, following
the little girl they had named Whisper. Suzi smiled and walked upstairs to
her room licking her lips. She opened the door and pounced on her bed. Falling
asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
((Cause this did start as a Role Play, SUzi and I were StorytellinÕ
it and she needed her ÒhandsÓ for the ÔkeeperÓ))
Meanwhile outside after narrowly dodging a horse and cart, Kitty and the
others entered the armor/weapon shop. Whisper sat, staring at the shop keeper.
Then stood and smiled up at Derrick, her little arms encircling DerrickÕs
knees. Kitty smiled at him. Derrick chuckled as he was pulled toward leather
bridles and saddles, with pleas from a little girl for a "pony".
Matt thanked God, that Whisper had asked Derrick and not him. Jim echoed
his friend and then fell in love with a beautiful broad sword. Then he got
to his knees and hugged Kitty around the waist. "Please, oh PLEASE buy this
for me!" in a strange joke effort to mimic Whisper. Then everyone all burst
out laughing, while Whisper watched the grown ups with a very puzzled look
on her face.
After a long while of looking around and haggling with the shop keeper. Jim
got the sword. Derrick some armor, Kitty a set of throwing daggers. Matt
got leather whip for Suzi and a bow for himself. They then watched the show
of a little girl's last ditch effort for that pony. Derrick took the shop
keeper aside and asked for some leather, while the others listened to a temper
tantrum.
Just before Whisper's screeching got to the highest pitch, a flame arrow
struck though the shop window and killed the owner. Whisper ran out into
the street and screamed. The others were right behind her. Kitty gasped as
she saw the whole village was surrounded by some very ugly demons.
Whisper stood there in the middle of the street when a strange young girl,
with black hair and darkish skin, came out of now where pointed a finger
and disappeared. Demons started pouring out of the buildings around the area
of the small village. Body parts dangling from their mouths, hands and feet.
Whisper shrieked and they attacked. Kitty flung one over her shoulder and
knocked two down. Five took their fallen friends lay. Stepping them, or getting
a quick snack. Whisper was picked up by a large, pot bellied demon. Kitty
shouted a warning and Matt stuck the pot bellied demon with a fire arrow.
Jim screwed a few with a borrowed spear. Derrick slew a few in half, with
his huge battle axe. Whisper dodged in and out of demon's legs. Lighting
loin cloths on fire with her passing.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
"Bodies, I love searching bodies!" complained Derrick as he stooped over
a one-half dead demon. The other half lay over by Whisper. She smiled and
held up the bounty. "And that rotten kid gets all the money!"
Laughter flowed from Kitty's lips as she sailed toward the young girl. "Whisper,
hunny, Derrick wants some of your wealth. Go give him some." She smirked
and watched Whisper skip over to Derrick. Her little hands over filled with
money poaches she had found.
"Here Derrick-Pa." Said whisper putting all the packages of money at his
feet and scampering off to find more. "luv you" drifted back her voice.
Kitty looked at the money at Derrick's feet, then up at Derrick. "I didn't
mean ALL the money!" she complained and pouted at Derrick's smug look. "Come
on Derrick, whip that smug look off your face and let's get back to work..."
Kitty whined as she lugged a demon body to the Inn.
"You're just jealous I got all of Whisper's money!" called Derrick at Kitty's
back. He picked up two of the demons and followed her into the Inn.
Mayra, Keeper of Caroline's Servants
Mayra watched the elder children of Caroline pick over her demons. They had
failed her. It was time to meet the traitor Whisper. She thought as she picked
up a cloak and followed after the Elders. She smiled at the one called Derrick,
he acted a bit like Robert and Mike. Who where Robert and Mike? Mayra shook
her head to clear it and watched as they set up camp a few miles later.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Whisper looked up into the air. Matt and Derrick both looked over at her
from their ale. WhisperÕs bluegray eyes had gone dull, like she could
hear a song they couldn't. "Pied piper? Some one really doesn't like our
Ward do they?" said Derrick standing and walking toward the now motionless
girl.
She stood and ran into the now growing mists of the forest. Matt, Derrick
and the girls all cried out for her to come back. Jim was hot on her trail,
not bothering to call her,. the rest right behind Jim.
As they came on to the clearing they saw Whisper about to be embraced by
another girl, about eleven. Jim saw the sparkle of the dagger before the
girl had enough time to do her evil deed. He rushed to Whisper and twisted
the knife out of the girl's hands.
"Ouch!" said the girl dropping to her knees and holding her wrist. "I should
of known you'd be like the younger children..." The girl stood up and smiled
brightly over at the Elder children. Her hair sailing in the wind like a
black flag. Clear Emerald green eyes sparkled in amusement, as Jim lead Whisper
away from her.
"We shall meet again, Jim, next time we fight, I shall be the victor..."
the girl turned and disappeared. Jim stared when she had disappeared. Whisper
hugged his knees tightly, her sobs hushed by the mists and the leggings.
Cave Maze, Will they have brains to get out?
"Holy Shit!" came Matt's cry of alarm. Suzi, Kitty and Whisper looked up
from the fire. Matt came bursting though the under bush, a look of surprise
on his face. Jim and Derrick followed from different directions. "What the
hell was that?" asked Matt looking behind his shoulder.
"What?" asked Suzi, standing from the hard ground and stretching her legs.
"It had tentacles like a octopus!" said Matt trying to convey to run for
the hills. "It came after me when I went to get the water."
"Then it won't follow. Goodness Matt, get a grip!" said Kitty patting Matt
on the shoulder as she walked by.
"You don't understand, it's..." gasped Matt, as a large beast with tentacles
came hobbling into the clearing. "a land creature. Ah well to late! RUN!"
Matt got up and sprinted to the edge of the clearing, followed by Derrick.
Jim passed them and kept running. Suzi, Kitty and Whisper all started to
run, but the arms wrapped around them and flung them to the ground. Knocking
Whisper and Suzi out. Kitty just started cursing a colorful sting of language
as Matt and Derrick attacked the creature.
Kitty cut the things arms, muttering it was to early for a fight. Matt dashed
to Suzi's side and lifted her into his arms. Derrick helped Kitty fend off
the creature. Then both broke and ran near Whisper. Kitty picked her up and
with one last sweep with his axe, Derrick followed them into the forest.
Then found Jim near a cave entrance, the creature crashed behind them. "Move
it or we can lose it." said Kitty, as she ducked into the dark cave. Derrick
sighed and shouldered his way past Jim and Matt. Whisper stirred in his arms,
but lay still after a moment.
"Will they be all right?" asked Jim looking at Matt, who held Suzi, and Derrick,
who held Whisper. He ducked his head again as the over hang dipped down.
"Shit, why did this have to be a small cave?"
"They'll be fine..." Matt chuckled. "Why did you have to be so tall? It's
not the cave's fault. It must be decades older then you!"
Derrick laughed, but kept his face watching for stalactite He looked at Kitty's
back as they traveled further into the cave. After a while Jim and Matt stopped
talking and concentrated on walking.
((IÕd like to point out about that note earlier! I and Suzi.. I was
Whisper/mayra and just about anyone else, and Suzi was Suzi and Simon and
just about any char that was a monster. Like ya couldnÕt tell. Oh
yea, sometimes Matt did it too. :) ))
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
((:sniffles: this next part I had to guess cause I had puter trouble the
night they did it. :sniffle:))
"Holy..." cried Matt. A large panel slid over the next way out. By now our
heroes are throughly lost. A few over large flowed into the room. Kitty and
Jim drew their weapons. The other's had females and their weapons wouldn't
work in this enclosed space. "Great..." cursed Matt as he laid Suzi on the
ground.
Derrick put Whisper on the ground. Drawing a wicked looking dagger he went
and stood with matt to protect the unconscious girls. "Well, I'm being to
hate this world more and more..." said Derrick as he screwered a rat. A large
line of blood and torn cloth decorated his torso.
"Come on, you know this is more exciting then wondering what your next set
of bills to pay will be!" smirked Matt as he danced around yet one more of
the huge rats.
"Oh yea, wondering if you will live the next day is real fun..." Jim added
as he slice a rat in two.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
"Not again..." said Matt, after all the rats, lay dead and their blood a
pool on the floor.
A large shape came into view from a cave entrance Then disappeared. "Well,
let's go, we have no other ideas..." Kitty said dryly and started toward
the cave door.
The men followed after her. They entered a room, a few minutes later. Three
doors, four stair cases and a trap door awaited them. "Great, which one?"
said Derrick as he looked around him. He stepped on to the first stair case
and headed up.
Kitty chose a door to the left with a skull hanging from it. Matt chose a
door with two swords crossed over it. Jim just sat there and waited. Sure
enough after a few minutes Derrick appeared though a door with a book hanging
over it.
"What the heck? Jim what are you doing here?" asked Derrick as he looked
around.
"I never left, welcome to the beginning..."
"Oh great... Don't tell me, another maze?" Derrick went up another stair
case. Matt came down the same stair case a few minutes later.
"Wait don't tell me! Beginning?" said Matt looking at his smirking friend
nod.
Kitty and Derrick both came though the same door. "One more time!" Screamed
Derrick charging up the last set of stairs.
Kitty and Jim broke into laughter. Matt joined them a few minutes later when
Derrick came back in.
"I found the exit sluts." said Derrick with a wide grin on his face. Kitty
ran right into his arms.
"Thank the gods. Lets jet! Do you know how many spiders are in this creepy
cave?" Kitty grabbed Derricks hand and shoved him toward the stair case.
Jim and Matt followed after a long look at the love birds. Sunlight blasted
their faces as the exited the cave. "Whoa how long were we in there? Someone
make sure Suzi's face is covered!"
Matt said looking over at Jim, and Jim's empty arms. "Derrick? Do you..."
"Oh no, I thought you guys had them!" cried out Derrick, looking back into
the cave maze. "Oh Shit... You think they will wake up and find their way
out?"
Kitty hit Derrick in the butt and walked back into the cave. Matt ran after
her thinking about all the monsters down in the maze. Jim and Derrick followed
after sighing heavily.
Taverns, And The Men Who Love Them
Derrick sat drinking at the tavern. They had just gotten to a village called
Green Haven. The girls had gone up to the rooms. Matt and Jim were talking
about the world they had left behind. Derrick and Whisper were at the bar.
Whisper sat swinging her legs and looking cute.
Derrick looked up as a girl went up on stage and cat calls started. Whisper
stared wide eyed at the white haired girl with big gold eyes as she started
to sing. The beat of the drums and Derrick's heart went as one. He was swept
away with the song. She the siren, he the sailor.
Sun dropping behind it's clouds,
Dusk with it's shadows
Night falls upon the worlds
Bats take wing to the heavens
Wolves howl at the moons
The earth lays covered in shadow.
The light swept away by the evening wind.
Ice melts slowly into water.
Thunder crashes over a bonfire.
Magic in the air.
Feel it's power run though your veins.
See Merlin his cloak of red.
Guiding the children of ten.
Though the night,
Pursued by those who wish to stop the dream
The dream of magic.
The dream of freedom.
When they come back,
The worlds will be set free.
To make their own choices.
Free to live their lives.
But at what cost?
What will these bright stars lose?
Merlin paid his price.
He was freed though death.
His legendary past pushed onto his youngest daughters shoulders.
'Liz slipped off stage as the brawl started. She smiled softly as she stole
out into the alley. Two big men waited as she bumped into them. Ale stunk
on their breath. Liz cursed, this was going to be a long night...
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
((enter me other char. :lol: raped chick... :lol: Thanks Suzi. IÕm
STILL going to get you back for this one!))
Matt, Jim and Derrick dived though a window to the outside. Whisper appeared
beside them. They looked at her and she smiled. As they looked at one another
they heard a scream. And being who they are, they ran to help.
As they came into an alley, they saw a woman about to be raped by two big
oxen with the brain power of a pea. "Hey you, can't you pick on someone more
your size?" asked Jim belting on in the chin. Matt clobbered the other one
as Derrick picked up the unconscious girl. A thin trickle of blood running
down her face, from where on of the men knocked her upside the head.
"She needs a doctor." said Derrick holding the unclothed girl, and blushing
furiously. Suzi and Kitty appeared holding Whispers hands.
Kitty smirked at Derrick, who blushed harder. "it isn't what you think...
I swear sweetheart..." She just grinned more.
"Of course not dear, whisper told us. Let's get that poor girl to a doctor."
said Kitty hefting the girl onto her back. AS the girls and Whisper lead
the way, the boys lagged behind.
Elizabethan Trouble
The doctor whipped his sweaty brow. The five strangers had brought the tavern
wench into his office when he was closed, threatened his life . Making him
stitch this poor girl up, for what sick purposes he didn't even want to know.
And their girl companion was awful pale. Could she be one of the cursed they
had heard about?
His hands shook as he stepped away from the girl. "That's all I can do for
her. Now please leave my shop before the wraith of the evil one enters!"
He watched in horror as the pale on and a furry man come after him.
§§§§§§§§§§§ Liz
§§§§§§§§§§§§
I woke up and looked around the room. I slowly and painfully sat up. "What
happened?" I muttered as I looked down at my bandaged body. As I looked about
the room, I saw a small child, being held by a small, dark woman. Two men
stood over a body. A blond haired woman stood over the nurse.
I let out a high pitched scream. Two men and the blond haired woman were
feeding on the bodies. My mind was in turmoil as I lashed out at one of the
men. He was the shortest one, and the one who hadn't been feeding one of
the town doctors. He jumped back and I ran for the door. As I past the blond
haired woman, she looked up, her fangs dripping with blood. I leveled a kick
to her face.
I heard their footsteps pound after me, as I ran to the other end of town.
The huge wall towered over my head. The guards who protroled the wall, looked
eerily in the light and I dare not stop to ask for their help. My bare feet
slapping against the cold stones of the pathway to the whore house.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Matt cursed as he drew his hand away from the wound the girl had given him.
"Damn it, that little bitch, we just saved her life..." Suzi looked up at
the girl in question as she ran out the door and got a kick in the face for
her trouble. "Suzi!"
Suzi spit out some blood and took out after the girl without answering Matt.
Her face a mask of anger and blood lust. Kitty and Whisper were after her
a spilt second later. Derrick looked up with one of the doctor's arms hanging
limply from his mouth. "Did I miss something?" he asked around the arm. He
sat looking at Jim and Matt's backs as the left the shop. "Damn waste of
good food... Oh shit, I didn't mean that." Derrick spit out the arm with
a look of disgust. He was out the door and vomiting in five seconds flat.
Whisper passed Suzi and followed Liz into the whore house. Suzi and Kitty
stopped, looking at the various stages of whores. The stopped the boys before
they went into the whore house. But Matt pushed forward, his tunic already
turning a shade of dark red. His face a burning mask of anger. When the whores
saw it they ran as fast as they could upstairs. Matt's face and body were
turning hairy, turning him into a wolf/man.
But when a scream was heard from upstairs, Matt was loping up the stairs.
Whores running and screaming out of his way. Kitty followed smirking and
holding up a mage ball. (Magic light) Whisper screamed again. And Matt burst
in on Liz holding and shaking Whisper.
"You, why could you have betrayed them? You traitor, you are no one. NOTHING!"
her words washed over Whisper. Tears flowed down Liz's cheeks, as she shook
the girl once more. Matt looked again, Whisper seemed older. Not five but
eleven. He growled and Liz looked over her shoulder.
She let out a scream and dived though the window near by. The window shattering,
glass splitners falling to the floor. Whisper gasped and ran over the shards
of glass, cutting her bare feet. Liz lay there on a pile of straw. Her silver
hair looking like wings in the moonlight. She stood and ran though the streets.
Her white body, like a beacon into the darkness, soon out of sight. Whisper's
tears dropped to the floor, mixing with the blood from the little cuts on
her feet.
All the Kings Horses
((Kitty))
I sighed once more. Derrick (half Dragon, half human) and Matt (half wolf,
half human) were both half cursed. I brushed the black cloud of hair out
of my eyes once more. It had been awhile since I had had a bath. I was almost
sure if we met anyone, they would have smelled me a mile away. That is of
course if they hadn't seen Derrick's leathery wings or Matt's hairy hands
and claws.
I rubbed a painful bruse on my shoulder. Underneath my black tunic it stung
painfully, from where one of the villagers rocks had hit it on the way out
of town. But then they had also called us ÔCursedÕ.Whisper looked
worse then any of us. What ever that girl, Liz, had said to her sure had
a awful effect on her.
My own trobles came brewing up my stomach. As cute as Whisper is she still
scared me for some reason. I don't think I trust that little rug rat any
more then snake. Hadn't Liz called her a traitor? I mean she did look older.
I ducked as Derrick sent another branch leveling at my head.
I heard Suzi whistle a warning, just as we past onto a road. I almost ran
back into the forest, but I stopped myself. Whisper was quicky running in
and out of us, handing us clothes, putting a colar on Derrick and Matt. Hmmm
I should see if I can get one of those leashes for me and Suzi when the boys
AREN'T cursed! I laughed silently as I put on whisper's bundle of clothes,
thankfully my cloak hid my shift's whiteness.
I stared at us, we had, in two mintues changed from cursed earthlings to
wandering gypies! Smart kid. I am going to have to remember to hand her a
sucker or something next time were in town. She thinks of everything... Suzi
and I grabbed Derrick and Matt's leashes just as the group of people meet
our group. Jim stood menencenly over near Suzi.
"Good Marrow fair travellers! May we please see some identifcation? From
M'lord Marthen?" One of the armored freaks, that sat, weighing atleast 2
tons, on a poor horse. I held back a growl, my unicorn side was starting
to awaken upon seeing the poor horses suffering.
"Well you see... We are just poor traveling misfits. Putting on a circus
form town to town. Giving people some enjoyment in life..." Suzi smiled prettily
over at the leader of the idoits in armor. Matt, like me, Growled. Only his
was auditilby heard. I hid a smile behind a hand.
The leader shifted uncomfortably in his saddle, making the horse shift to
one side. "I see, you must come back with us to the town that you just visted
to get the correct papers..." His gaze meet Suzi's fearlessly.
Mores the pity. I sighed. I was so hoping Matt would rip his foul little
head from his shoulders. Another smile of mine was quickly hidden by a hand.
Whisper sat on Derricks shoulders, though I'm sure I wasn't the only one
wondering how she had gotten up there so fast. I swung my head impationantly.
"Well you see..." I smiled FINALLY some action! "We can't quite do that..."
Suzi smiled, fangs glittering in the light. A man snarled back in fear. I
could smell the leaders fear. "Now I suggest you move out of our way. Or
I may get hungery.. NO? Ah well..."
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
"That is a rather umm fun way of staying in practice..." Matt smiled over
at Suzi. She smiled back as we neared the next town.
A Cry Unto The Night Of Dreams
I sat watching the stream below my tower . The water rushed over the stones
making them smooth and shinny. I threw one such stone and watched it skip
up the stream, landing in a mist of circles.
Randell smiled as he stepped beside me. "Good shot, Joy. What's wrong with
you? Latey you have been colder then ice it's self. Even when we are out
of our curses. Is it your friends?" His voice trailled off as I turned to
face him.
My eyes, I knew for the times Caroline had showed me, were sunken in without
sleep and worry. The boys weren't doing as well as Randell and the others.
I was pale and weak. Though I needed no looking glass to tell me that I was
weak. Often my thoughts and memorys swam past me and I often couldn't find
myself gasping the smiples of ideas.
Lonely like the wraith
And it's hallow cries
You stand far away, crossing the seas.
While I stay in this accursed place
Surrounded by tall walls
And blowing shrouds of terror and sorrow
I wait, my cries across the sea echoing yours
our friends have left.
But I am not alone
Our fathers memory is singing in my soul
I long to be free,
flying the soaring skies
But I stay under our mothers eye
She never leaves, yet she is always gone.
I am alone, for though I have father,
I have no one
My heart cries
My soul sees
and my mind stays blank
May these words reach your death ears
I pray
You may hurry from your curse.
I wither and die
My brother, Watch over this place.
My lover, Defend this place
My friends, Heal this place
My companion, Govern this world
I sing the coming of the joining,
Past, the love of my mother and the death of father
Present, my friends, family, my clan
Future, The place where all things meet.
I screamed letting the night take my fears, hope and terror into the night.I
sunk back againest the pillar. Randell stood, tears streamng down his face
as the dawn lite the sky. And for the first time since the curse started
weakening, no one sung for freedom. For one of the five children was forever
cursed.
