Amnesia: The Golden Guard

Chapter nine: Puzzle Pieces

Daniel's POV:

"We need a plan, just in case we run into Barrel and Gonzales again," Stephano swung his sword around lazily, his eyes were clouded over with distance.

I nodded in agreement, looking over at the golden man. He shook his head, as if trying to rid of his thoughts, and looked at me. Everyone had fallen asleep, except Stephano and me. I had volunteered to help him watch over everyone when they had fallen asleep; not being able to sleep myself.

"I'll take the group elsewhere... If you hold off Gonzales," I suggested, earning a snarl from the golden being.

"I'll fucking murder him..." Stephano growled the words, eyes glowing with hatred.

"W-What happened between you two?" I questioned, trying to sound casual; really wanting to know what had caused the two brothers to hate each other with such venom.

"It is a long story..." He started with a sigh, leaning against the wall; his eyes closing, "I'd rather not say."

I nodded in understanding; disappointment, but I understood. Another question made its way to my brain.

"So... Um... Do you like my sister-" I stopped in mid question, Stephano cutting me off immediately; his orangish gold eyes darting towards me.

"What if I do?" He growled, jumping to his defense.

"I honestly have no problem with that, really!" I whisper yelled, putting my hands up in a surrendering position.

"Maybe I do... Maybe I don't..." He huffed, throwing a glance towards the bed which my sister slept on; her back facing us.

I rolled my eyes, placing my hands back on my lap; a smirk forming on my lips as I stared at the golden man.

"She definitely likes you. I see the way she looks at you, it's the way Savanna looks at me," I chuckled, hearing him growl at me.

"Go to sleep, garcon," Stephano threw a pillow at me, crawling in next to my sister.

"What about the-" I frowned, being cut off for the second time.

"Bonior," He hissed; his back also facing towards me.

I swear... Him, out of all the people my sister could've like... It had to be him...

...

I opened my eyes slowly, stretching and then rubbing my tired eyes. Falling asleep with my back against the door, I tried staying awake last night; miserably failing.

"I know where the first piece to the orb is," Felix stood up from the chair I sat in yesterday; seeing they were already making plans, I got to my feet and joined in, sitting on a bed next to Savanna.

"Then we follow you, for now," Stephano crossed his arms, leaning against the desk.

"Let's do this bros," Felix fist pumped the air, jumping up and leading the way out.

We all followed the crazed gamer, encountering monsters every now and then; finally stopping among a door that could've suited a cell.

"The water monster is down here bros... So we need to make a quick break for it..." Felix opened the door, making us all stop at the last step.

Images came crashing into my brain; splashes and blood curdling screams where heard. This was indeed a monster, eating and killing anything that walked in its waters. I grabbed Felix by the back of his shirt, stopping him from entering the murky waters.
