Chapter four

Uh, what about? Because we have some questions too. I say, sitting down. Amethyst sat next too me. Her face was slightly red. Elias regarded us with cold eyes. What are your names? I'm Aria Heart. I say. I'm Amethyst Firethef. Amethyst offered. Hm, you're names are odd. Elias said, flatly. Rude. I think in my mind. That's not very nice. Amethyst said, pursing her lips. Too be honest, I don't think I care. Elias retorted, but his voice was empty. Ok, no. I say getting up. Please apologize to Amethyst and I. We didn't name ourselves you know. Elias looked at me. My skin crawled with discomfort. His eyes were cold and emotionless. This is true. He said finally. I apologize, Amethyst Firethef and Aria Heart. Thank you. Amethyst said, satisfied. Why does he do that? I wondered. He refers everyone by there first and last name. . . He also seems emotionless but. . . For just a second. . . Just for that one second. . . I saw something. Elias stared at me, his eyes searching.





Why do you do that? I ask, sitting back down next to Amethyst. Do what? You refer to everyone by their first and last name. Why? Amethyst looked thoughtful as well. It's just the way I talk. He answered. And that! Amethyst said. You talk like a robot! A robot? What creature is that? I can't believe my ears. You don't know what a robot is? I ask, shock. Elias slowly shook his head, his hair falling into his eyes. It's like the thing from The Iron Giant, you know, the movie? What is a movie? I look at Amethyst. She seemed at a loss for words. I snap my head back to Elias. He didn't even look confused. He just regarded me, his face empty. You don't know what a movie is? I asked. No, Aria Heart, I do not. He answered, flatly. Ok, just what kind of sick world is this? Amethyst asked, horrified.


We are in the Ty'ruck region. He said. This is the village, Starry Night. I am head guard here. The what region? I ask, confused. No, I meant what country. I'm not sure I understand. He looked at me again. Country! What country is this?! Amethyst said, annoyed. I need to get on a flight! Like, right now! You need to take flight? Elias asked. I'm afraid that there are no creatures large enough here to fly you anywhere. What in the name of, WHAT?! Amethyst yelled. No, I mean a plane! I need get on a plane! I have to go see a music producer, and I can't be late! Amethyst it's ok, come down! I say, grabbing plushy Laurance. Here. I say handing it to her. She stuffed her face into the plushy and breathed deeply. She really needs to get to New York. I pleaded. Please Elias, this is really important to her. Elias's eyes searched me. What the heck dude? Why are you staring? I think in my mind. I don't know where the village of New York is located. He said. But I shall try to figure it out the location. Now it is my turn to ask questions. But, Amethyst began. It is my turn. He said. Amethyst stopped talking and held my hand.




Where are you from? He asked, sitting opposite to us. I'm from California. I say. I'm from. . . America! Amethyst said, smiling at me. I stifle a laugh. Are those villages in this region? He said, unfazed. Um, I don't know. I say, glancing at Amethyst. She shrugged. Very well, I will have to except that answer until further notice. What the fudge? Uh ok. I think. Who are your parents? He asked. Uh, my mom is Carouge Heart. Your father? Does it matter? I look at him defiantly. Hm. Very well. Amethyst Firethef? Who are your parents? He said, looking at her. Uh, my mom is ( go to EyesOfAmethyst to see answer ) and my father is ( again, go to EyesOfAmethyst P. O. V too see ) Elias looked at her, then turned back to me. Why are you here? I don't know. He looked at Amethyst. Why are you here? I don't know. He looked at us, emotionless. What is your relationship with each other? He asked. Amethyst squeezed my hand. We're best friends. We say together. I see. . . Do you have any idea of this region's history? No. I shake my head. I don't. Amethyst said. Hm. That's odd. Everyone knows the history. Well we don't. I say. Elias regarded us. I suppose long story short, this region was formed by two women named Lady Dawn and Lady Dusk. They fought in countless battles,




determined to free this land they love from all evil. That's not very specific. Amethyst mumbled. If you want the full history, go to the library. He said. Amethyst mumbled some more. I look back at Elias. His cold eyes were staring straight at me. Uuhh. . . Is there something on my face? I ask, hesitantly. No. He said, voice devoid of emotion. Please stop staring. Your creeping me out. I think in my head. What did Lady Dawn and Lady Dusk look like? Amethyst blurted, sensing the tension. They were said to be very beautiful. Elias said, immediately turning to Amethyst. Lady Dusk was said too have a galaxy of purple blue hair and fair skin. Lady Dawn was said to have coils of silky black hair and skin warmer then hot chocolate. That's. . . Kinda of an odd way to put it. Amethyst said. That is what they were said to look like, Amethyst Firethef. Uh ok. She glanced at me. I shrug. This guy was weird. I rather like weird. Elias opened his mouth to say something, but the door burst open and guy a few years older than us walked in. He had a good build, blond hair and amber colored eyes. He wore a kind of suit, it was white and black embroidered with gold. He had black boots with gold accents.

What he looked like.

Ok, that's it, I'm done! I think exasperated. No more anime dudes! I'm done! I glanced at Amethyst. She was staring at the blond boy. Will you please cut it out! I whisper in her ear. She looked at me. What? She whispered back. I groan and face palm. Elias immediately stood up and faced the new arrival. Lord Chase. He said, emotionless, but in a respectful tone. Lord?! Amethyst and I say at the same time, shocked. Chase looked at us. Elias, what are these ladies doing here? Lord Chase, I was interrogating these girls. They might be spies. I told you we weren't. I grumble. Elias's cold eyes looked at me again. Stop staring! I yell, annoyed. Chase looked at us, noticing us for the first time. Hi. Amethyst waved. Sup? I offer. Chase pursed his lips. They don't look like spies Elias. There in nightgowns. Yes my lord, but I wanted to make absolutely sure. Elias said. Are they spies? No, not that I am aware of. He looked at us again. But they have no idea of this region's history. They don't? Chase said, surprised. No. They do not. Hmm. Either way, I'll take over. But lord- That is an order, Elias. Chase said, sternly. Of course my lord. Elias said. Good. Go back to your duties. Elias bowed and walked to the door. He opened it, but cast a look over his shoulder before he left. He left, closing the door behind him. Chase sighed and smiled at us. You two alright? Yeah I'm fine. Amethyst said. Could be better. I say. Good, I'm glad. Elias is a nice guy, but he's a little. . . He struggled to find a word. Emotionless? Amethyst offered. Yeah that's the word. Chase said, nodding. But he has a good reason. What's the reason? I ask. That story is for him to tell. Anyway, let's get you ladies some food and clothing. Oh, I almost forgot. I am Chase August, lord of Starry Night. And you are? I'm Amethyst Firethef. I'm Aria Heart. Nice to meet you two.


Hello lord Chase! A perky girl our age said. She had brown hair, pale skin  and gray eyes. She wore a black shirt and yellow pants with flip flops. A white apron was covering most of her body. Chase had taken us to what looked like a bakery. It had a display case full of baked goods. Hi Sally. Chase said, smiling. Oh, who are these girls? She asked, looking at us. I'm Aria. I say. I'm Amethyst. Amethyst said, making her plushy Garroth wave. Oh, well nice to meet you two. I'm Sally. I take care of the bakery when my parents can't. What can I get you two? Oh uh. . . I look at Amethyst. I'm sorry we don't have any money. Amethyst explained. I'll take care of it. Chase said, smiling. But, I began. Nope, I'm taking care it. He smiled. Uhh I don't know this guy but. . . Thank you. I say. Thanks! Amethyst said, happily. Chase nodded and looked at Sally. Please serve them whatever they want. Ok lord Chase! She said. What do you guys want? I made some cinnamon muffins this morning. Ooh that sounds yummy! Amethyst said. She looked over at me. What do you want Aria? Uh. . . May I have one of those cinnamon rolls? Sure, coming right up! She opened the chest behind her and pulled out a cinnamon roll and a cinnamon muffin. She handed it to us. We took our baked goods, looked at each other, then broke our pastries in half and handed it to each other. I took a bite of the muffin. Amethyst was chewing the cinnamon roll. Sally looked at us, confused. Amethyst swallowed. We share our food sometimes. She explained. Oh, are you two sisters? Chase asked. No, we're just really good friends. I say. Hm, pretty close friends. Sally mumbled. Oh yeah, Sally, can Aria and Amethyst borrow some clothes? Chase asked. Huh? Oh sure! I'll go get some! Sally said. She went upstairs. Thank you, Chase. I said. He smiled and nodded. He seemed nice, but something was bugging me. . .


Why does he look at us with such a face?
