BEHIND THE CASTLE WALLS?? CHAP. 10
Author P.O.V.
They all heard clapping noise and turned around to see Mary-Anne clapping.
Each one of the girls had confused expressions written all over their face. But Mary-Anne didn't pay much attention to that.
"Come and follow me." Mary-Anne said motioning behind her.
The girls all looked at each other until Marinette took a step forward as well as Alya. They smiled at each other and continued to walk the other girls in tow.
Soon we reached a wall with who Rose realised is the former queen portrait before she disappeared.
"Woah..." Alya said breathtaken. Like who wouldn't Queen Emilie was like a goddess.
There was a pregnant pause everyone masking in the queen's presence.
"Umm... What are we doing here?" Rose asked breaking the silence.
"Glad you asked." Mary-Anne said tracing her fingers over the portrait.
In one swift movement they were all being taken down to somewhere none of them knew of.
. . .
Author P.O.V.
"Who wants to see a quicker way down." Mary-Anne said looking at the tired girls.
"Yes please." Rose pleaded. The girls nodded in agreement.
"These stairs are to much!" Alya replied.
The girls all saw the smirk Mary-Anne gaved them and regretted their decision instantly.
"Oh, if you wish." Mary-Anne then rest down the torch and pressed a out of place brick.
The floor turned smooth and everyone was sliding down the cobblestone slope.
Screams were immited everywhere from the girls. But Mary-Anne just smiled holding onto her cane.
Light was seen as last. But none of the teens were ready. Marinette fell flat on her face. While Alya landed next to her. Alix landed on the both of them and Rose landed on Alix lighter than a feather.
But Mary-Anne landed on her legs using her cane for balance. She looked at the groaning teens and told them to sit and wait.
Marinette P.O.V.
We all saw when Mary-Anne walked in a strange room. Then I blinked. Groans swept through my mouth even though I tried to hide it. Of course I hurt myself because of my clumsiness but that hurt.
She then gave us herbal tea. I should know my Maman gave me that when I ever hurt myself or something like that. It tastes really bitter but if you have drink it as much as I did you'll be like immune to it.
Everyone of us took a sip.
"Ugh!" Alix and Alya said in unison.
"Not to be mean but this taste horrible." Rose interjected.
"How can you drink that?!" Alya screamed.
"Ummmm.... I'm accustom to this herbal tea."
Alya and Alix looked at me like if I was crazy while Rose took another sip.
"Its actually not that bad." Rose said.
We heard a loud cough and our attention was towards the elderly woman.
"I heard that you want to become a Musketeer." She said firmly.
We all nodded in agreement. Alya and Alix shock long forgotten.
"Who would like to go first?" Mary-Anne asked resting her cane.
Shockingly she was able to stand up straight.
"Oh, so no volunteers?" She was reaching towards a portrait that looks like Master Fu?
"Oh well." She then pressed an out of colour brick.
The wall soon turned around and we were met with glittering weapons.
Mary stretched forth her hand and grabbed a sword. I was now alert than before.
"Think fast."
She threw the blade and I leaped to catch it. When I did I made a areal and landed in a t-stance.
"Impressive."
Mary-Anne then made a areal unto the table grabbing a sword in the process. She landed in front of me with no sounds.
"Go Marinette, you can do this!" Rose and Alix shouted.
I didnt hear Alya. So when I turned to look at her she wore an reassuring smile.
I smiled back happy that she finally accepted me.
"Én gárde!" Mary-Anne shouted jabbing her sword towards me.
The rush of adrenaline soon came back to me and I quickly paried the attack. Clanging of metal pierced to the air. Every attack was paried. All counter attacks were blocked. That was until I remembered what Kim said.
Was I really useless?
I felt the rush of adrenaline died through me as fast as it came. I continued to block but not as strong as before. Suddenly someone's sword was send to the air.... To be honest my sword. Mary-Anne grabbed the sword once more. And faced the rest of the group leaving me dazed.
"Who's next." She said spinning the weapon.
"I am!" rose replied gleefully.
She skipped over to the wall that hung many weapons. But her choice of defence was quite.....unique. A fan. I looked closer and realised that their were spikes at the creases.
"One must be elegant and have the best unexpected tool."
Alya and Alix looked at each other and then at Rose.
"You're Princess Fragrance right." They both said flatly. Not one of them sounded unsure.
"Oh well, you got me~" Rose sing song.
"Who?" I asked clearly confused.
"You'll learn about her later honey. But now its my time." Rose said that so bold that I was shocked.
".....Can I go now?" She asked back in her sweet voice.
Mary-Anne nodded for her to go and she did. The fan went spinning all around the room. Tearing pieces of fabric in the process. As she did that light illumined the vast room.
I shielded my eyes from the light but when I got accustom to the new found light which was pretty fast I moved my hands away from my eyes.
The fan passed right in front of my face. As it was returning to Rose, Mary-Anne launched her sword towards to fan and instantly caught it.
Rose face was in the same state of shock I was a few moments ago.
"Aww guys your being beaten by an elderly." Alix said grabbing a parasol?
"Alix you know that's a parasol.....right?" I told her.
"Oh Marinette, don't judge accessories by its maker." Rose said giddy.
Alix then took the parasol and opened it.... Nothing happened. I turned my attention to Mary-Anne to see her with an iron cuffs?
In a blink of an eye; flying knifes were thrown at a dummy behind Mary-Anne. It went in an even rapid pace along with the speed of Alix roller skates. I swore I saw two of her but when I rubbed my eyes I saw only one.
Mary-Anne blocked each one with her iron cuffs. Metal clanging into another. I looked at everyone and they were confused.
Soon Alya got up and trotted towards the weapon board. She grasp a bow an arrow.
"One must have accuracy like a fox."
Once she was done she landed in a t-stance. I looked back at Mary-Anne and she was smirking we then heard the clanging of metal and Mary-Anne weapons of defense on the floor.
Alya aimed it at a target over Rose's head at the arrow went at full speed towards the target.
But suddenly it touched the red circle and fell leaving a tiny dent as well as a confused Alya.
"But how?!"
"You would need someone to help guide you towards the pack. As you said your a fox."
"Hmmmm...."
Alya looked really confused and so did I.
