Chapter 11 Eleven
Larmine POV
| Dream |
"Heyy, wake up! It's about to rain!!!"
"Hey, Larmine. Don't you have any plans to get up there?"
The shady sky exposed me.
"Larmine, hey!"
I looked all around. I was lying on the grass, lots of big trees and flying giant birds. Many animals and various creatures just roam and socialize with other creatures.
"Come on, Larmine. You've lost your card now? Usually you'll immediately say, 'duh! Why did you wake me up?' Your bitch! Why don't you wake up? Your theme is forever asleep! "
"Shut up, Solenn." sadi Arlene.
I looked at them both. Solenn was carrying a long sword with both blades. Its blade rested on the ground while its elbow rested on the handle. Arlene was carrying a bow, and three -piece arrows, enclosed in a sheat that hung behind her back. I raised my right hand on the grass and was ready to stand, when I felt something. I immediately turned to it.
A gun.
I picked it up and stood up.
"Come on, maybe the princess is waiting for us." Arlene was the first to jump down the cliff.
The place we stand today is our favorite spot. It is high and overlooks the whole kingdom. "See 'ya! I'll be the first, Gio is already waiting for me, haha! But…" she confronted me as she walked backwards and dragged the weapon she was carrying.
Se stopped exactly one foot was in the air, and one foot was still on the ground.
"You're quiet now. Did you have a good dream? Caio!"
"Wait."
I couldn't continue what I was going to say because she jumped already.
"Gosh…" I crossed my arms.
I feel weird. Somehow.
"Larmine!"
I immediately searched for the source of that man's voice.
"Larmine!" From behind me Leo ran towards me. He stopped in front of me breathlessly. He put both hands on his knees.
"Why?"
"One…" He looked up at me then signaled '1' with his index finger. "Wait a minute, it hurts…"
"Why are you running? What do you need?"
He stand straight, then blew once. "Arlene? You're training, aren't you? Where is she?" He said while looking behind me and around.
My eyebrows arched. "She left already, we're going to the palace"
"What !? Oh no, tsk. It's still a bad for me."
"As usual, you're fighting again, gosh. It's just a dog and a cat—" I interrupted when our position suddenly shook.
My brows furrowed when I saw little bits of stones tumbling shaking on the ground.
Stampede?
We immediately became alert. I cocked the gun and looked around. Leo pulled out the sword he was carrying from its holder. Fear enveloped us as the trees fell one by one all over the place. All the inhabitants and the scattered soldiers immediately fled. There are large creatures that also emerge from clusters of large trees.
"L-Leo, behind you."
They slowly walked closer to us, causing Leo to pull us back together.
"W-what are those !? What the hell !?"
My grip on the gun tightened, as I shifted my focus to those creatures. Gosh, too much!
"I don't know, Larmine!"
"The amount of them Yeol, we can't handle them." Yeol returned his sword to its sheath.
"W-what are you doing !?"
He immediately turned to me. "Let's jump"
I saw seriousness in his eyes. "Huh?"
"Let's jump, now!"
"What—"
Without saying a word Leo pushed me closer to him, before pushing me backwards as he held my arm and the back of my head. I feel like time has suddenly slowed down. I watched the large creatures run towards us, with slow motion. Even the flight of my hair is sluggish.
Then suddenly…
The passage of time has accelerated.
~~~
"Larmine!!"
I woke up immediately. Arlene and Solenn's faces flashed at me.
"Hey, Larmine are you okay? You're sweating. Are you in pain?" said Solenn.
I got up and looked around. It turned out that everyone was awake. I immediately noticed the two new men we were with today. They were both tall, but one was white, and the other was tan skin. All in all, there are ten guardians.
"Who are those women with you? We don't need them." The three of us were embarrassed to see a tan skin like Kairo.
"They are of no use to us."
Arlene stood up and stared at the man. "Your mouth is too sharp, you stupid idiot!"
"What did you say? Stupid !? Me! Why are you involved in this? Who are you, eh, you don't know anything!" I saw Arlene stunned.
Gosh, why are we here? Good question. I stood up and crossed my arms. "Shut up panda face, you don't care if we're here. Gosh, we're the reason why Gray found you, if it wasn't for us those two might have been burnt to ashes, Kairo and Gray, because of Ren. If it wasn't for me I wouldn't find a couple like Leo and Jake. So your snout, just close it because it doesn't matter."
"Yes!" Solenn said before grinning.
OMG.
This man was about to kick me when his new partner stopped him. "Zillan, that's enough."
"But, Kris."
"Calm down, Zillan." said June. "Temperament won't help here. Let's just listen to the princess, before we talk and make a plan."
We all looked at the princess. She started talking but I didn’t listen. Am I a guardian? I touched Arlene, reason to look me back. She doesn't listen either.
"Why?" she said.
"How did we end up here? Did someone save us?"
She sniffed the two new ones. "That white, flight is the power, he brought us here to this place one by one. While the one with the sharp mouth, he has no power."
"Gosh, that's good for him." I grinned.
We were inside an abandoned building. I saw a cardboard with griped tarpaulin, with a company logo. I knew that company, it was one of those that went bankrupt and tried to destroy their papa's company back then. So this building is that company? It is huge. All its windows and doors are made of glass so most are cracked. There are others attached but the cracks are already covered with mosses. The walls and pillar are covered with smashes. It looks like a den of gangsters. Outside is a view of lots of old cars and old appliances. Looks like, we are in a junkshop.
"The princess said that their enemies had spread all over the place. They had also claimed their kingdom and imprisoned the king and queen." said Solenn. "Guys, I'm scared. I want to go home. If they're just causing trouble, they'll just go back to where they came from and then they'll take care of everything. They don't have to touch our world anymore. We live quietly here. Why did they come here?" the sadness on her face when she said that.
"We're going to use them" we turned to Arlene's words.
"Will they be used?" I said.
"If they can't get out of here yet. The only way we can survive here is to get close to them. They have the ability to fight them."
I turned my gaze to all the guardians who were now intensively conversing with their princess.
"Then… Shall we just stick with them? For how long?" Aniya Solenn.
Arlene took a deep breath before speaking. "After all, they are not from here, they will also leave. We will stay close until they decide to leave and when our place is safe. They are so simple. We will oblige them that they need to protect us. "
"S-shall we pretend?" Solenn said before turning to the guardians.
I nodded. "Yeah, after all it looks like they're going to kick us out. June is secretly taking a glance at us just right now."
"We'll pretend we're helping them." Arlene promised.
"More convincing then." I agree with what Arlene said.
Survival is the battle here. For us who don't have the power to protect ourselves, this is all we can do.
Moments later, everyone was shocked when a large rock entered the old building, it hit the large poles, causing the pillars to collapse one after another, and the whole place shook. Shit! The exit is far.
"No," said June. He turned to Gio. "Gio, put some support. Kairo! Help us! Others run!! "
In an instant, Kairo teleported with Zillan. Then he came back to take Ren, while the others were running towards the exit way, when June suddenly pushed Kairo and Ren because debris was falling in front of them. They escaped but Kairo sustained a bruise on his leg.
"The ceiling is going to fall !! Run out !!" said Gio.
They quickly mothered the princess and the other companions. No one dares to hold our hand to help us out. It looks like they really have no intention of including us.
"Larmine." my eyes widened as Gray held my hand, before pulling me away.
Gray is an exemption.
I looked at Gio once more. He stepped on the floor causing it to crack, then spat out the soil beneath and tried to control it to prevent the ceiling from falling.
"I'm still weak, I can't do this for a long time, hurry up!!!"
His powers formed the earth-soil into a massive size of pillar to support the weight of ceilings. It was as if it had a life of its own that seemed to be crawling upwards. But it is not enough, the weigh created cracks to soils. The only thing Gio can do is stick to it. By just that, I saw sweat on Gio's forehead. Traces of his reaction that he was having a hard time. Because of some intangible force, Gio's feet were pushed hardly to the ground. Making cracks in a wide range area.
"Hurry up!"
"Larmine!!!" I heard Solenn's voice.
She's outside. I was momentarily stunned at the ceiling. There are small debris that are also falling. Even before the building finally collapsed, thank God we were all out. Cairo used his teleportation to get Gio inside before it even crashed. Thick smoke and dust covered the whole area because half of the building had completely collapsed, causing us all to cough. As the smoke gradually subsided I could see them a little.
I was about to turn around when I suddenly felt something near my left ear. My brows furrowed. I slowly looked at it. My eyes widened when I saw that one huge mouth of the wolf. Salivating, with large and sharp teeth. He is ready to trample on anyone who blocks his way. It was as if a weight of ice had been poured on me. I can even hear the small growling of this wolf. I can not move.
I felt my breathing stopped. When the smoke finally subsided I saw the whole thing there. A massive werewolf. Its feathers rise from the nape to the back. That means it’s aggressive. The color of the eyes is yellow. I step backwards. It was only then that I realized we were all surrounded by these creatures. I felt my knees' weakening. My eyes are getting blurry. I felt my cold sweats running from my forehead to my cheeks down to my neck.
"Roland!" That was June's voice. Its voiceg sounds hopeful. "R-Roland"
A man with black eyes, was flying in the air and watching us all. It looks like no one cares around.
