Chapter 10: Poison

Freminet- Yearning for the Unseen Depths

I heard what Lyney said. He wants to kill me. He wants me gone. He needs to stop acting like he's so confused about this. I'm sure he knows why I have pure hatred for him now. Thanks to Lynette though. I have survived all this way.

My name is Freminet, I am an expert diver from Fontaine.

I don't know why I'm trying to comfort Lyney. Sure he's upset that Clorinde and Wanderer are dead but I may be next. There's also a possibility he might keep me alive because of Lynette. Lynette is the entire reason I'm alive. She really cares about me, unlike Lyney.

We helped Addie back to camp and bandaged her injuries. Then all of a sudden Sigewinne comes out of the shadows and offers to help. Amazing. If we have a medic on our side we're sure to survive a while right? Sigewinne is preparing a concoction with a syringe to heal Addie. I go sit beside Addie.

"This might hurt a little" I say to her before dabbing some rubbing alcohol on her arm. She makes a hissing sound.

"S-sorry." I say tensing up thinking I may have hurt her too much.

"It's alright." Addie smiles softly. "Thanks."

"Of course." I replied.

Finally after a while Sigewinne comes with a syringe.

"Ready?" She asks Addie.

"Ready." She replied

There's something odd about that syringe. Something....really odd. It's got this greenish bluish color I can't describe. That doesn't look like the color of medicine. It looks like the color of...

"POISON!" I scream and tackle Sigewinne to the ground and slip the syringe out of her hands while she's sprawled out on the ground.

"What the-" Lyney starts but I don't let him finish.

"The syringe had poison in it." I say to Lyney and he nods, looking relieved.

"I will take out my claymore if I have to!" I shouted at Sigewinne.

"There's no need for such violence." says Sigewinne. "One dead person will make it one less person to have to kill in the end right?"

As Sigewinne says this she reaches behind her and pulls out her bow slowly and carefully trying to make sure that I don't see it. Well that's too bad because I do. No need for such violence my foot. I pull out my claymore and hold it out in front of me. Sigewinne starts shooting her poison arrows and I block them with my claymore.

Except the last one. The last one gets shot into my leg and I instantly fall to the floor. As I feel the darkness creeping in, I slowly let go of everything. My past, the House of the Hearth, everything I've ever known is sure to end here.

I let the darkness slowly crawl into my eyes waiting for the sweet feeling of death to come.
