Innocent Smile(Yogscast Fan-Fic)

Twenty Three

Nano;

"Whheeeeerree's the aspirin?!"Duncan groans.

"Wait a sec, I'm getting it for you."I reply irritably.

How often does he get drunk like this??

The thought twisted in Nano's mind as she fetched the aspirin. Ignoring his pleas for water, she shoved it down his throat without another word.

3rd person;

Duncan did notice, he noticed how Kim was becoming more... Serious. Unhappy. Stroppy. She always seemed to be in a dismal mood... It was the early morning of an Autumn day.

"I'm going to be out-meeting."Duncan called to the almost empty castle. A faint 'okay' was heard in the distance as he strode out of his abode.

Whenever Rythian held a meeting, you know something was wrong. Rythian was the most antisocial person on the server. He wouldn't hold a meeting even to say that his fortress had exploded. He lived a quiet life. He liked it that way.

Duncan grumbled as he flew through the frigid morning air. Duncan didn't know who else was going to gather at the meeting place, but he knew that it was an emergency of sorts. As he landed in the small grove that Rythian had repeated many times, he was surprised at the distinct lack of people. He only saw Rythian, Sjin and Sips. Like they wanted a fight...

"Duncan! You're finally here!"Sjin proclaimed.

"Gosh, what look you so goddamn long?!"Sips grumbled.

"Well-"Duncan started, soon to be cut off by Rythian.

"Look. I didn't call you here to fight, as surprisingly. However... I'm sure that you all came here expecting to."Rythian said, eyeing the weapons at our sides.

"Oh... This? Uh..."Sips stopped at Sjin's brief shake of the head.

"Anyway."Rythian exclaimed."I think..."It seemed that the trees around them were listening in for information. Everything was silent."I think that everyone around us aren't... What they really seem."

"What? What you mean??"Duncan asked curiously.

"Oh, really?"Sips groaned."You called us all the way out here for that?"

"No... What I'm trying to say is that... Well, Lewis may be tricking us. I heard that everyone around us are bad. As in... We're here, people. And our friends are just playing with our human emotions."

"Oh, shut up. Everyone is so over your spiritual bullshit."Sjin retorted, as Rythian gave him an exasperated look.

"I'm trying to save your life, Sjin! Can't you at least understand that?!"

I sighed and broke the tense atmosphere.

"Shut up, all of you. Rythian, we'll heed your warning. But really. You better watch out for yourself."

Rythian looked at the scientist tentatively. A knowing look."Duncan, you don't help anyone. Especially now Reni is gone."

Everyone stiffened apart from Rythian.

"Reni..."Duncan said.

"Snow..."Sjin proclaimed unhappily.

"Rapist..."Sips seemed to echo.

Rythian gave a brief nod be he exited the clearing. And with that, the others left too. Deep in thought.

"Nano, you should really stop coming here."Xephos' voice called as he strode out of the darkness in the little shack.

"I can do as I please."Nano replied stiffly.

"Whatever. I guess I don't care. As long as you make Duncan happy."

"Shut up about all this soppy friendship stuff. I'm not in the mood for a speech."Nano retorted in an irritable fashion.

"I didn't hire you to argue with me."

Nano shut up.

Xephos sighed."You need to get closer to Duncan. At the moment he's just a lonely, unhappy owlet. You need to make him happy again."

"I really don't think that's a problem, Xeph."Nano smiled.

"Really? Why?"Xephos sounded truly surprised.

"Because I think I 'love' him already."

***

I've not been here for the past, oh I dot know, 4 chapters? And well, you probably think I'm dead.

Well, hell no! I'm kinda alive. I can see everything that happens, but I cannot intervene. It breaks my heart to see Duncan with such a timid, yet strong, girl. Well, it breaks my heart to see him looking so sad. Every time he drinks his sorrows away I pat his head, hoping to get a response... But I don't. Every time he smiles towards that 'Nano' girl I hit him, but he doesn't feel it. Every time he flies, I fly along with him.

What a terrible feeling I have in the pit of my stomach. It's something that makes my stomach somersault.

Well, and the most terrible thing?

I guess, when I cry... There's no one there to comfort me.
