Mercy...Who Needs It?(Discontinued)

Part Quatorze! (14)

Trying to stay calm like Agatha asked to try and do was a lot easier to do than I thought... as long as no one was near me that is. I had tried to stay calm and collected when 'Agatha' and Saffron were in the room, but even I wouldn't believe that I was calm, if I was one of them.

For the time that they were in the room, it was relatively awkward. It seemed like they were purposefully avoiding the subject of why we were even here, for the time being anyway. After what seemed like forever, and I was too anxious to think how long it actually was, they decided to leave and give me some time along and just in bed. They had told me that it was probably exhaustion that had caused me to pass out. I had no other proof of otherwise, so I was forced to believe them.

After they left, I set my eyes on the food that was left by Saffron on the tray. He had said I could eat whenever I felt hungry. feeling slightly pckish, I sat up in the bed and worm-waddled on the bed towards the tray on the bedside desk. I stretched my hand out and only just about grabbed the tray. What?! I'm too lazy to get up and actually take the tray with me!

Looking at the food, there was a glass of juice that looked like apple. It looked like it anyway, except it was somewhat darker in colour, but that could just be the lighting in the room. Beside it were several pieces of toast covered in a dark coloured jam. Uh, why did everything have to be so dark?

Picking up the juice, I decided to take a couple sips from it. Just as I thought, it didn't taste like I thought it would. It was slightly bitter with a slight spicy flavour to it. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't mind if I never drank it again. Picking up the toast I starting nibbling on that too. It was actually really nice, way better than the stupid juice! It was a mix of blueberry and strawberry, with a hint of something else I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Taking the plate with the toast on it with me, I worm-crawled again over to the window and placed the plate down on the sill. I decided to take the time to let my mind roam around and eyes to take in the surroundings, while nibbling on the toast. The sky was a clear cyan blue with tiny puffs of cloud littering it. It looked like a complete contrast to the turmoil about what was going on.

My wandered off as I tried to compile all that had happened over the little time that I had been involved in all of this. All my life nothing exciting ever happended. Boring childhood, boring school and boring work. All I ever wanted was for something exciting to happen. And what do I get, this! Being dragged around in some weird place with spirits and other crap along with something that wants my soul. This is the kind off exciting I didn't want!

Slight tapping and scratching on the window shakes me from my thoughts. Recovering from almost choking on the piece of toast in my mouth I look up to see a tiny animal booping its head against its window. It looked like a cross between a rabbit and a kitten. It had big floppy ears falling around the sides of its face and short brown and white fur around its body. It had massive green eyes that seemed to be too large for its little head. One thing came to mind when I saw it...

"Agatha!" I called out looking at the door. Again, I am too lazy to get her myself. Less than a minute later the door opens and she walks in. This might just make it seem less obvious that I know it's not the real Agatha.

"What is it?" she asked in a cheery tone. She seemed to be trying desperately to be like Agatha but failing miserably.

"What's. that. out. the. window?" I asked pointing to the critter licking its paws out the window. My eyes going massive at how adorable that thing looks!

"That would be a Rouki" She informs me, looking closely at the animal through the window. "They are sometimes kept as housepets, but are usually very rare. What would one be doing here...?" She mumbles the last part to herself, shocked to even see one of these cute lil' buggers around in a place like this.

"Umm... Could we keep it, you know, as a pet? I asked trying my best at the puppy dog eyes. I probably looked like a had diarrhea or something, but at least I made my eyes water a little. Which might have made it look worse.

"...Fine! But you have to take care of it, not me, okay?." She tells me after a moment of hesitation. I slowly turn to the window and carefully nudge the window, so as to not make the little Rouki fall. "Do you have any name in mind for the little guy?" She asks, as I take the animal in my arms. It begins to purr in my arms which only makes it even cuter.

"What about diarr-"

"No!

"But it has the same colour-"

"I just said no!"

"What about... Ryo?" I asked looking at 'Agatha' hopefully. To be honest, I thought it was an okay name and it was the first one that came to mind.

"Sure, why not!" She agrees and goes to rub Ryo when he suddenly hisses at her. This seems to shock her causing her to take a few steps back. "Just to let you know, those thing can be dangerous when they're mad so I'd best be careful around it..." She warns me, but I think it was just a reminder to herself as Ryo was rubbing his head against my chest and purring contently.

She starts walking towards the door but turns to me before walking out. "Well since we're keeping him, we have to get food. Make sure you're ready in about an hour and we'll head back to the other side of town, ok?" I just nod as she walks out the door.

Looking down at Ryo, I feel happy to have someone else to be around. Even though he can't talk, it'll be nice having someone to be with when I get bored. Hopefully I can bring him back with me when we get back.

Suddenly he leaps out of my arms and starts hissing at the window, his tail sticking up in warning. I look out the window to see what he was looking at. There doesn't seem to be anyone around apart from a figure just heading around a corner. He seemed suspicious, but I guess that's how I felt towards everyone here. 'Nothing will go wrong' I thought hopefully.
