the uncommon occurrence

Chapter 8

"What'd you do that for!" Yelled Misty

"He was annoying me."

"You don't do that until you get what you want out of them!"

" sorry I didn't know."

"Well now you do."

Misty turned around and started walking again. Scarlet had to run to catch up with her. Around twelve o'clock they came to the next village. The villagers were much nicer than the last ones and thankfully spoke the same language and They came running out to welcome them. The ladies in the village saw Scarlet, who's clothes wore torn and dirty. They practically carried her into one of the tents to make her new clothes. Then Misty was left all alone with the village men. They were all very nice to her but one guy really stuck out to Misty. He was actually the same age as Jake and acted a lot like him to.

He and Misty talked for some time while the other guys stared in envy. Two hours went by before Scarlet came out. They couldn't find any clothes that fit her so they made her new ones out of old clothes. They had made her a tight, pink, nylon shirt with a linen pink shirt with big, turquoise flowers on it to put over it. They also made her army green cargo pants. Once they came out dinner started and they were given a hearty bowl of crab soup. They talked and ate until they couldn't anymore then, to take off some of that food, danced most of the night away. Of course the guy who was interested in her earlier danced with her the whole time. Misty was actually starting to fall for the guy then she remembered why she was going through all of this. Later that night he offered for them to sleep in his hut. He had the biggest one so they accepted his offer.

On their way to his house Misty asked Scarlet if she could sleep inbetween them so he wouldn't try any funny business. That night the two girls slept quite peacefully. Early next morning they woke up as the sun came up. They had breakfast with the village, said their goodbyes and left with some fruit.

Little did she know that at the castle the queen was trying to get the prince to fall in live with Amy. She kept inviting her over to the castle and Amy was trying to get him to fall in love with her beauty by wearing tight dresses that shows off her figure and with low cut dresses that showed a lot of her cleavage. But Jake wasn't going for that and no matter how many talks he got from his mom about how she ran away and that he should move on he wasn't listening. He knew that his mom hired a assassin to get but he wasn't sure if she was still alive and as each day went by his faith wavered more and more.

They traveled for a week without any disturbance. One day Misty decided to go fishing by the lake while Scarlet went to gather berries. They were just about to start eating when a tall, skinny man stepped silently out of the forest. He didn't look harmful so the girls didn't grab their weapons. He stood there a while without saying anything. Scarlet got agitated and walked over to him.

" well,what do you want?!"she asked.

When the man replied with silence Scarlet got even more mad. " what, cats got your tongue." Misty started to get worried as she continued to tease the man especially since they didn't know him or why he was here. Finally the man had enough and with a flick of his finger he pushed Scarlet to the ground, knocking her unconscious. Misty swiftly grab her sword which, she had stuck in the ground behind her. She pointed the sword at the man and he grabbed his so swift and fast it looked like he pulled it out of thin air. Misty knew he was going to be a hard opponent. She glanced at her friend lying on the ground and realized that if she didn't beat him now, it would be the end of both of them.

The two circled each other like two sharks about to attack. Misty knew better than to be the first one to strike, he was to good. The man realized this and got cocky.

"Scared of me yet?" He said as he wrapped his bony fingers even tighter around his sword.

"No you just really creep me out." Replied Misty.

This obviously angered the man and he lounged at her so quick and swift Misty barely dodged it. She swung around and hit him in his side with the face of the sword, hard. He fell to the ground with a loud thud and bounced right back up. He had dropped his sword and Misty used this distraction. She grabbed his arm and threw him against the nearest tree, then she grabbed his sword and pressed it against his neck.

"Scared of me yet." She whispered in his ear.

He chuckled and started to gently pet her hair. Misty got very creeped out at this so she pushed the knife closer to his neck attempting to make him stop but he didn't care, the man picked Misty up by the arms high above his head. Misty had think quick, this is a death move and will kill anyone as soon as they touch the ground. She suddenly remembered the knife in her hand and sliced it across his face, right before he threw her down. He let go of her with a loud scream and she tumbled to the ground face first. He looked up at the man to see him running away screaming and holding his face. She was about to run after him when she heard Scarlet moan behind her. She ran over to her friend who was lying helplessly in the floor.

"Are you ok?" She asked frantically.

She slowly nodded her head. Misty sighed in relief and got up and gave her some water. "Can you stand." She Asked once she was done drinking." Yeah." Scarlet replied and slowly started to stand up. She couldn't believe how much pain she was in! every single muscle and bone and vain ached and screamed at her to stop but she didn't listen. She continued until she stood as straight as a arrow. She wondered what the man had done to her to make her feel like this then she remembered the dragon slice. It's quite a simple move actually. All you have to do is Hit some one in any type of way on this very delicate nerve in your body and the subject goes out like a light. She was about to learn about this before she ran away. Luckily the side affects wear off in a few seconds.

Once Scarlet was all good the two girls made a boat and wrapped their food up. The current in the water was going quickly which was quite beneficial at that point. Misty knew they were pretty close to Jake so she was really picking her pace up.

They traveled on the river for about two days before they made it to Ciraka, that was a country that was two country's away from Jake. They got off their boat and checked into the closest motel.

As soon as the two girl left to their room the secretary, Cassandra, immediately phoned the Queen and reported to her about Misty's whereabouts. The queen yelled in frustration as soon as she hung up.

"What does it take to get rid of that little pest?!" She screamed.

"Is everything alright?" Asked the king. She continued screaming." Get me the best assassin we know! I want her dead corpse in-my -hands!"

The King quickly went over to the phone and dialed a simple four digit number." Hello, Scorpion? Yes I have another one for you."

Back at the room Misty and Scarlet find there room and as soon as Scarlet opens the door she realizes why the inn was so cheap. The carpet was starting to come up, the floral print comforters were starting to yellow and the wall were covered with marks, holes and cracks.

"It's so nice to be able to sleep on a actual bed inside a actual house." Said Scarlet as she flopped on her flimsy bed." Even if its a bad one." She mumbled under her breath. Misty chuckled and went to take a shower.

"You should take a shower to you know." Said Misty once she got out. "Yeah I guess after all don't want to present myself to the queen all dirty and what not." Replied Scarlet sarcastically . She walked into the bath room and started taking her shower. Misty had turned the light off so it was pitch black. She was relaxing and just about to fall asleep when suddenly a hand grabbed her face and started scratching at it.
