War of Four Souls

[Akatsukii]

Lucas watches her from the corner

 

[shycatgirl00]

The lock melts completely off and Cassiopeia pushes the door open. She gasps when she sees Emi.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas upon seeing Emi's condition is speechless. He just stands there with a horrified expression

 

[shycatgirl00]

Emi looks up slightly and her eyes widen. "Wh-Why are you two here?" She winces in pain and coughs up blood.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas starts shaking and looks away once she coughs up blood

"W-We....came to....save you."

 

[shycatgirl00]

Cassiopeia walks over and starts melting the chains. "Lucas, keep watch for guards."

 

[Akatsukii]

"A-Alright..."

He turns around watches the hallway

 

[shycatgirl00]

The sound of someone talking can be heard nearby.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas turns back to the room

"I think I hear someone coming."

 

[shycatgirl00]

Cassiopeia smiles sadistically. "Just wait for them to come."
Emi slowly stands up but sways around.

 

[Akatsukii]

"...Are you sure,what if they are too much for you?"

 

[shycatgirl00]

"No need to worry. I've been waiting for an excuse to cause bloodshed anyway...." Cassiopeia starts walking to the door. Emi leans on the wall for support and chuckles weakly.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas walks over to Emi,pulls out a small napkin from his pocket and tries to wipe the blood from her wounds

 

[shycatgirl00]

Emi winces. "Ow! My wounds still sting. I just got these moments before you came here."
Outside in the halls the sound of guards talking ceases and only the sound of cracking is heard, then an eerie silence that is broken by the sound of a slap. Beowulf walks in rubbing his face. "Why did you slap me?!" he growls. Cassiopeia pouts and says, "I wanted to get them!"

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas moves his hand and stops what he's doing

"I-I'm sorry..."

 

[shycatgirl00]

"It's o-" Emi collapses.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas eyes widen as she falls

"Emi? Emi?"

He kneels down next to her and tries shaking her awake

 

[shycatgirl00]

"It's not king to work, Lucas.... She needs some medical help and fast." Beowulf goes over to the two and picks Emi up, carefully.

 

[Akatsukii]

Lucas seems on the verge of tears as Beowulf picks up Emi

"I-Is she going to be alright?"

 

[shycatgirl00]

"She should be. Let's hurry and leave." He unfolds his wings and gets ready to leave.
