[Diety Ai's P.O.V]
[A Loud Thud, High Pitched Screaming]
Rumi opens the side,
"What happened?!"
Tzu is on the side of the carriage looking at the wheel.
"We are stuck", she says looking at the wheel fustrated.
All of the girls get out of the carrige and take a look at the wheel. Xiu Huo sighs and looks around for a sign.
"Look there's a sign! It says Po Village", she points at the sign.
Tzu looks over at the sign,
"Everyone go to the village and look for help, I'll stay here and try to get the carriage out".
Xiu Huo starts to walk towards the village, one by one the other girls follow behind her. She goes through the village entrance, the village is quiet, not one person in sight. Kun Lian grabs onto Xiu Huo's arm playfully and smiles, Mu Dān looks around suspiciously.
"Nobody is here, Xiu Huo" Bao Fang says to her.
Rumi sees somebody out of the corner of her eye hurry away, after seeing them.
"Girls... formation!" Rumi says.
They immediately get into a circle backs facing eachother. And with a fierce look in their eyes, they look around them. Waiting for somebody to attack.
"They are watching.." Kun Lian says, as shes looking at her surroundings.
"We are watching you, You shouldn't be here"
A man dressed in noble clothing and seven peasants come out from around the corner.
They look at him,
"Who are you??" Xiu Huo asks.
He walks closer to Xiu Huo,
"Village Head Li Han, You need to leave"
He says with a smirk.
Rumi looks at him, observing him.
"Our carrige is stuck, We need help moving it" Rumi says.
Li Han look at her, still with a creepy smirk.
"No.. I think we will just take you for our own personal pleasures" He put his hand on Bao Fang's face and caresses her.
Bao Fang smirks looking at him, All the girls look at her and Xiu Huo giggles under her breathe. They cover there ears and Bao Fang let's out a ear piercing scream making him fall to his knees gripping his head. Li Han and the pesants cover their ears as they lay on the ground as it shakes under them.
[Meanwhile at the Palace]
Gui enters the maids quarters looking for Head Maid Mu.
"Maid Mu!" he yells.
She walks up behind her holding a basket in her hands.
"Yes Master Gui"
He turns around and smiles.
"I told you.. you dont have to call me master", he embraces her in a tight hug.
She hands him the basket and says "Heres your favorite since its your birthday", she smiles.
He looks at it with a big smile,
"Thank you, It's lovely.. I just wish this year I would have got to find my mother this birthday".
Maid Mu looks at him with sympathetic eyes as she holds his hand,
"I remember the day you were born.. you were the most handsome baby id seen.. better than Jian , your mother loved you with all her heart".
Gui looks at her curious,
"But she left.. i dont know why".
Mu looks at him and sighs.
"On the day she disappeared.. i heard her arguing with Emperor Shi, it got so heated things were broken after she stormed out nobody saw her again".
Gui sniffles and takes a deep breath, "I'm going to look for her and bring her home" he says with determination in his eyes.
He starts to walk out of the door and Maid Mu grabs his hand,
"Gui be careful, Emperor Shi can't find out...".
Gui nods and smiles as he turns away and walks out.
[Back at the Carriage]
Tzu grunts as she trys to push the carriage out of the mud. She looks at the carriage and trys to think of a way to get it out.
Suddenly she screams scaring the horses enough for them to pull the carriage out of the mud. She sighs in relief.
[Back at Po Village]
As the men are on the ground, more come running to the mens aid wielding swords and other weapons.
Mu Dān see them and says in a serious voice.
" huànyǐng "
Black apparitions appear around the girls as they all pull out swords. Kun Lian runs toward one of the men as she runs she does a flip in the air landing a few feet in front of him in a kneeling position hand on the ground holding her up from falling. Kun Lian stands up and looks at him with a smirk as he looks confused, she butterfly kicks him knocking him out. She lands and in a tiger pose with a fierce look in her eyes. Both Bao Fang and Xiu Huo run and flip over Kun Lian slashing the men standing in front of Kun Lian. Mu Dān commands the apparitions to slaughter the men, the apparitions show up behind the other men slitting there throats. Kun Lian hears Tzu's scream.
"Tzu! "
Kun Lian runs back to carriage.
The other girls hear it too and follow behind Kun Lian. Xiu Huo stops and sets fire to the village and the men . As she runs back to the carriage she can hear screams coming from the men not dead yet .
As they reach the carriage, They see Tzu is alright. Tzu looks at the girls who have blood on there clothes.
"What happened?! " Tzu says, as the girls get into the carriage.
Xiu Huo turns back as she's getting in the carriage.
"We killed bad people..", she says getting in the carriage and closing the door.
Tzu gets in the front of the carriage and sits there for a minute. She looks behind her at the carriage and back infront of her.
"yah!" she says making the horses run.
[Inside the Carriage]
Xiu Huo looks at the other girls,
"We only kill bad people and they weren't good people".
Rumi sighs and opens up the window,looking out at the violet trees "We have no room to judge...".
Xiu Huo looks at Rumi about to say somthing back but Kun Lian grabs her hand and she sighs looking away.
