Heartless

Earthquakes

I screamed as a gut retching pain shot through my chest. I dropped on to my knees and a breathy sob escaped my throat. My throat was burning.

"Do me a favor and die?" Her eyes where burning with a red flame. Her hand was inside my chest grasping for my heart. To bad I don't have one.

I stood again and steadied myself. Then I grabbed her wrist with my free hand. "I'm heartless, you cow." I said smirking and I drove my spear through her throat. Her hand slipped out cover in blood. I staggered back and fell on my behind. Before I could say anything a shriek sent the ground parting.

The earth shook and the ground ate all the remaining huts. All the bodies fell down the cracks. Hills rised and trees fell. My feet slipped while the ground I was standing on was lifted up and tossed aside.

I was falling, slipping, skiing call it what ever you want to but I was on my down when Elliott 'poofed' up and saved me by ,'poofing' away again.

Cane took a heroic leap and landed next to us but then losing his balance and almost, almost, plummeting to his death. Dang it. He let out a breath of relief and then smiled nervously. "That was close-" His smile turned into a frown when he look back at the fallen village. I followed his gave and saw a tall lean figure jumping from edge to edge. "Really a back flip? Hey Abel stop playing around and get your butt over here!" Cane crossed his arms on his chest. I tried not to notice his muscular arms but... Dang it!

"You said something?" Abel appeared out of no where and rubbed the dirt of him but doing so he rubbed his shirt off... yeah... I mean DAMMIT...

I quickly looked away but not without getting a few glances. I completely zoned out. "We need t-" Elliot's voice faded and for the moment I just stared.

"Caisy!" Someone shoved me hard and I fell over. Panicked I looked up to see a man smirking at me, oh and the boy's was there to.

I looked at them and back at the boy. Then back at them. "What?" I asked pretending to dust myself off.

"Where leaving." They all sang synchronized. They all went to the last hut remaining and burned it down.

"What are doing!?" I ran towards them, tackling Cane before he could through his lighter.

I sat on top of him pinning him down. He didn't try to through me off. He just laid there. "Cleansing this place." Elliot answered. Cane's hands went to my waist.

At first I was confused but then it hit me... literally. Before I knew it, I was the one on the ground and he was on top of me. "Get off!" I squirmed and wriggled but it was no use. He was to fat... well not fat.

"Oh come now sweetheart." He raised his eyebrows and flashed a playful smile. I returned the smile and kicked him were it hurts. He did even move. I had no effect on him what so ever. "Hey now, play nice or we might have to..." He smirked and stood, still smiling down at me. I gagged internally.

"Where are you going to go now?" The boy asked and reminded me that he was still around. His British accent was over powering but sounded odd with a pitched voice. We all looked at him. Abel stormed over to him and grabbed him by the color. "Hey... wha-" Abel lifted his fist.

His eyes where wild. Wild
He looked crazy. Crazy
He fell to the ground. The small boy sighed and bent over him. "You incompetent fool. You think I'm threatened by you?" He diverted his attention to me.

"Uh... Is it me or is this kid weird?" I stepped back and looked at the others. They just shrugged, focused on the boy.

"Weird, me? Never..." He laughed awkwardly. "The name's Code." He extended his hand but no one shook. He frowned and sighed heavily. "You guys wrecked my home, this," he pointed at his hand."- is the least you can do." That is true. I was the first to shake. Seems destroying is all they're good at.

"So we brought the psycho witch but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you did the earth quakes and lighting right?" Elliot asked. I don't know where he got that Idea from.

"Ah, so there is a smart one among you. Yes and I am guessing you know what I am..." He looked back at me and smiled. "A force not to be reckoned with."

Abel laughed sarcastically and slow clapped. "Oh well done that's a good one... Not!" He rolled his eyes. "Look kid I am sorry about you village but we can save the chit-chat for the road. Now lets get a move on and get out of this forsaken place." He dramatically turned around and strutted away.

"Wait hold up is anyone gonna tell me who that witch was or are just gonna pretend that she didn't just try to kill me." They all sifted uncomfortably and communicated with eyes.

They nodded their heads and diverted their attention towards me. "Yes." They turned around and ignored me. "Let's go." Abel yelled and stormed off.

"You guys go, I just want to pay my respects to all the deceased." Elliot knelled down and where the well was a large tree sprouted with a bunch of name tags on it. We sighed. So many innocent lives...

"Thank you." Code smiled sadly. "Can I ask you for a favor?" He asked shyly. He shifted from foot to foot looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Yeah, sure kid." Elliott said patting him on the back. We joined up with Cane and Abel who where having a heated conversation.

"There is this town: Nerva near it's near the place you're going to. I would appreciate it if you could just take me there and then I would be out of your hair." He helped mount a horse and than got up.

"Alright Fine!" Abel roared broke through the peacefulness. He stormed over to Code and got on the horse as well. Code's frown matched Abel's look of disappointment. Cane looked extremely pleased with himself.

Cane mounted his horse and helped me up. Not that I needed it. He led the horse away. Elliot was in front with Abel following him and I was in the back with Cane. We road off into the sunrise.
