Chapter 22: Tracking her down(Arc 3)
Alex POV
I sat on the train, feeing slightly bored. Today I wore a long sleeved black shirt under a white tank top that had a red heart on it with a pair of blue jeans.
"Who do you guys think took that girl?", I asked.
"Who else? Probably Monokuma and his goons", Ulric replied.
Gabby l stared out the window, deep in thought. I knew she was thinking of Magane. I don't blame her for being worried. I was worried too.
Within a couple of hours we finally reached Briggs. The whole place was covered in snow, I LOVE snow.
The first thing I did was jump off and land face first in the snow.
"Yes!! I love snow", I chimed.
"Are you crazy? Get outta there, its freezing. You'll get sick", Ryuga stated. I pouted as I stood back up. Gabby was shivering like a leaf.
"Why? This place is so cold. Where the hell are those Armstrong people?", she asked.
"Watch your tongue!!" We all jumped and looked over. I smiled to see General Armstrong and her brother Major Armstrong. Both are from FMA brotherhood.
I ran over and saluted.
"General and Major, its a pleasure to meet you", I stated happily. The major held out his hand and I shook it.
"My my, its a pleasure to meet you as well miss", he said. I held a hand out to the general but she just glared at me.
"Put that hand down, if you want respect from me you have to earn it you worm", she yelled. I flinched and backed up. The major sighed.
"Dear sister, these people have traveled far from Central, perhaps you could be a little nicer", he suggested. She stepped on her brother's foot in reply.
"Yeah, and we could give everyone hot coco while we're at it", she said sarcastically. I beamed.
"I love hot coco", I stated. The general glared at me. I sighed. I was hoping she would fall for it.
"Ok then, if you can't give us hospitality then how about showing us where that girl was before she was kidnapped", Ryuga said.
The general got off her brother's foot and led the way. As we walked the major leaned close to me.
"Forgive my sister's cold behavior, she isn't exactly a people person", he stated. I giggled.
"Don't worry, I kinda assumed so", I admitted. He sighed.
"I worry with that attitude she'll never find a husband", the major said worried.
"Trust me sir, I'm sure there will be someone who likes her tough act", Izaya assured.
"Keep quiet back there!!", the general yelled. We all flinched.
"She sure is scary", Crona said quietly.
"Suck it up little boy", she snapped. Crona backed himself next to Gabby, who was still shivering.
"Its still cold here", she said.
"I have the perfect solution", the major said. He stripped off his coat and shirt, revealing his bare chest and arms, all full of muscle. The general sighed.
"Really, you had to do that AGAIN?", she asked annoyed.
"What? This time its for a good reason", the major stated. He handed the coat to Gabby, who awkwardly took it and wrapped it around her.
"Um..thank you?", she said. Izaya took off his coat and offered it to me.
"Thanks, but I'll be ok", I assured. Izaya shrugged and put it back on.
"If you say so", he said with a smirk.
We were led to a large steel wall. I beamed. It was Briggs fortress.
"This place is HUGE", I chimed. General Armstrong smacked my head.
"Ow!! What was that for?", I asked slightly offended. She let out a low growl.
"Focus kid, this is an important mission", she stated. I nodded.
"You're right, sorry", I said sincerely. She took us to the very front of the wall, where the front entrance laid.
"Last the guards checked, they saw the girl standing out here by herself", the major explained.
"I see, but why the hell was she out here by herself?", Ulric asked.
"No one knows the real reason but she was here. There are 5 eye witnesses including me and the major", the general explained.
"So how do we find her?", I asked.
"I could always use my soul tracking skills to find her", Crona stated.
"You can do that?", Izaya asked. Crona nodded.
"Yeah, its simple really. It'll save us a lot of time", he assured. Crona closed his eyes and focused. In a few seconds he reopened them.
"I have it", he stated.
"Major, General, you should stay here in case we need backup of if the girl comes back here", Izaya stated.
"What? Hell no!! We will go with you", the general insisted.
"Please mam, we can handle this", Gabby assured. The major placed a hand on her sister's shoulder.
"Please sister, let them go. They'll be fine", he stated. The general sighed.
"Fine, but call us if you need backup", she demanded.
"Will do", Ryuga said. Gabby took off the major's coat and handed it back to him. He looked at her confused.
"I appreciate the thought but I think I'll be ok", she assured. With that we quickly followed Crona as he led the way back to the girl.
Author POV
Envy was watching from a distance, seeing our heroes go to the trap. He grinned to himself.
"Ha!! The fools don't know what they're up against", Envy said. He chuckled to himself.
" I can't wait. I finally get the chance to kill those girls. Especially that one girl", he stated. He was talking about Alex.
When he looked into her eyes he got this weird feeling that he didn't like that much. He didn't even know how to describe it but it was awful.
Just thinking about her made him pissed off.
"Just you wait girl, You'll see just how much I want to kill you", he stated. He started to laugh like a maniac. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw Magane, who was following our heroes from a safe distance.
He gritted her teeth.
"And that bitch will certainly get what she deserves after what she pulled in the forest", he stated. Thinking these evil thoughts made him smile bigger. A sudden chill blew through in the wind.
"Achoo!"
Envy grunted.
"Goddammit, I better not be catching a cold. If I do I'm gonna get pissed", he said to himself. He itched his nose and continued to follow the others in silence.
