The Escape

ooc: recap please

 

"Burdens...?" Anita asked and looked at her star. "What do you mean...?"

 

"I mean, makeing any wish you want isnt easy to get," the fox said opening the wall like a door. "There was a reason why they were keeped here in the first place. But I cannot tell you the whole story right now."

"How much can you tell us then?" Aqua asked.

"I'll do as much as I can," the fox said walking in. Dust pulled back Anita and nova got in front of Aqua. "They are going to have to come with us," the fox told them. Dust shook her head 'no' and Nova hawked at the fox.

OOC: Anita and Aqua are takeing back the stars that they have and everon else is at the courtyard I think >>

 

Anita looked up at Dust. "I'll be fine..." she said and smiled reassuringly. She then turned to face the fox. "You still haven't explained why we had to be the ones to bring the stars..." she said.

 

"You were the ones who had to make the wishes. The stars wouldn't cuoperate with anyone else," the fox said, "Why do you think I told you to make the wish? And Naomi told Aqua?"

"So we have a bond with the stars?" Aqua asked.

"Yes," the fox said walking in, "Now c'mon." Dust keep stomping trying to keep Anita and Aqua to stay, so did Nova.

"what is wrong with you two?" Aqua said trying to calm them down.

 

"Stop it you two... we're going whether you like it or not..." she said. "Calm down..."

 

"Now come in," the fox said not bothering to look back again, "Like I said before, we dont have all the time in the world." Aqua nodded and walked in not looking back at Nova or Dust. Once she stepped inside, the noises that Dust and Nova made suddenly stopped. She looked around the dark space but continued to follow the fox.

 

Anita nodded and followed the fox inside, glancing back at Dust and Nova, but then kept walking.

 

"Can you two see this?" the fox asked as he pointed out to some shrine looking stones.

"A bit, yes," Aqua said holding on to her star.

"Good, these are where the stars are keeped. We need to put them back, then we can return to the others," the fox said looking at the shrines. Aqua nodded and walked up to a black shrine.

 

Anita looked at the shrines and nodded. "I see..." she said and approached the other shrine with the star in her hands.

 

"Now all you two need to do is say, 'bond'," the fox said backing away. Aqua looked a little confused at the fox but still did as he told.

"Bon-," Aqua got caught off by a growl right behind her. She froze with fear.

"Not now," the fox called out. A wolf, almost the size of a horse appeared next to the fox. It's fur was pure white with black marks on its snout and legs, as if it was cut badly in some fight. Its growl was deep and it firghtened Aqua.

 

Anita was a bit frightened by the wolf and a bit surprised as well, but she quickly turned to the shrine and said "Bond".

 

Aqua said bond at the same time as Anita then felt something crawl up her. A large snake was wrapped around her and Anita, two snakes. Both were a stone grey color, their skin looking so rough had hard but were really smooth. The stars fell into their shrines and were sunk into them. "Well done you two," the fox said.

"Whats going on?!" Aqua called over, she couldn't turn to look at the fox.

 

Anita suddenly felt the snamke crawl up and begin to wrap around her. She screamed because of her fear of snakes. "What's happening?!" she asked the fox, terrified.

 

"Dont worry, they wont hurt you," the fox said walking to the exit. The doors opened and Aqua heard Nova's and Dust's crys.

"What are you doing?!" Aqua said trying to pull away from the snakes but they just got tighter and tighter.

"This is part of a special ritual," the fox said, "You two will be agreat help in it." The wolf growled at the fox, "We all need this and you know it. They made the wishes, all we can do now is just to hope for the best." The wolf barked at him in anger. "Its not as if their death wont be pleasent."

"What?!" Aqua said.

 

"What?!" Anita cried as well. "Our death?! Why didn't you tell us this?!" she asked, grunting as the snake squeezed her tighter. She tried to tug away from it but it was no use. Will... she thought and felt tears begin to fill her eyes, but a huge anger rose up in her chest. "You dirty rotten little...!" she didn't finish and just simply sighed as she hung her head. There was no use yelling at the fox. That wasn't going to save them.

 

Aqua felt too much preasure from the snake to think about the fox, "Dust! Nova!" she called out but neather of them answered. The wolf gave them a pittiful look.

"This will be worth it," the fox said, "Dont worry about your sisters and love. I'll be sure to tell them of your terrible incident. As for you," the fox looked over at Aqua, "You might see your friends in the afterlife. We will see if they are willing to forgive you for killing them." Aqua started to tear. Those words had hurted her badly.

Elizabeth's eye's were wide and she gasp at what she was seeing. "Aqua! Anita!" Elizabeth cryed out. She was paralized at what the fox was doing. When she called out their names, Nova gave out another cry, louded this time. Isabelle looked up and saw Elizabeth.

"Whats happened?" Isabelle said running up to her. Elizabeth couldn't hear though.

 

"Aqua... don't listen to him!" Anita said and winced. Tears started to run down her cheeks and she couldn't help but shout out Will's name, even though she knew that he couldn't help. "So... that's why you wouldn't let anyone come with us..." she said.

 

"Yes, basically, and they wouldn't have past the other gaurds anyway. I wouldn't have wanted them dead as well," the fox said stopping at the door, "I gave you mercy that way. No one else would get hurt other then you." the fox heard Nova's cry and sighed. "Looks like the younger sister knows what's really going on as well. Too bad she dosent realiz thats she has that simluar power Naomi had." Nova and Dust were being held down by vines comeing out of the ground. The keep squerming around and keep getting cuts from several thorns. "If they keep that up, they'll die from lost of blood," the fox said. The wolf was looking down terebly upset. "Too bad you had that fight with the witch, you wouldn't have gotten cursed."

"What witch?" aqua asked quietly.

"Naomi of course," the fox said. Aqua stayed quiet listening to Nova and Dust.

Elizabeth was completely still still not being able to hear Isabelle cry out to her.

 

Anita looked down and watched tears fall to the ground. She grunted as the snake squeezed her tighter and she couldn't breathe very well. She listened to Nova and Dust... but listened very closely to everything the fox said.
