Hydra

Chapter four: The Dwarfs

As my body started glowing I felt something vibrates in my chest. I pulled the collar of my shirt and peered at my necklace that was shaking in my chest and glowing violet. I took off the necklace out that was hovering in my grasp. I stared at it as a figure came across me. I moved my head to look up at the widened blue eyes staring at the glowing necklace.

A moments later, Frank's facial expressions softened, what is he thinking about?

Frank stretched his arm raising it up to touch the necklace, I was about to slap Frank's hand away from touching the glowed thing but its too late , I cannot move any single muscle in my body, in fact.... My body was paralysed! I couldn't talk, nor moving or anything. Frank moved his hands away from the necklace after touching it. Suddenly, the necklace stopped from shaking and glowing, and so did my body.

"Try to move a little." He said and I moved, finally feeling my limbs working again. I remained silent, but not until moments when I started to open my mouth to ask.

"What happened to my... necklace?"

Frank's expression changed to a serious one.

"How come you don't know?" He furrowed his brows. What did he mean?

"I don't know... Dad gave it to me but he never told me about it, he just warned me to not let anyone take it or rather touch it, and...." My voice trailed off as I remembered father saying his last words, I clenched my fists and tried to not cry, but my eyes betrayed me and watered with tears.

Frank came up my side and patted my head, ruffling my hair and messing with it. He pulled me into a warm embrace, I warped my arms around his torso since he was so tall and I'm, of course, a short little kid. I started sobbing until I had enough and pulled away from Frank, I wiped my tears and smiled to the man.

"You feel good now~?" said Frank.

"Quite good, thank you for your kindness." I said sheepishly showing a small blush. Frank nodded and chuckled lightly.

"What about we get back to my place now~? Its starting to get dark here and so to check on Drake if he's alright~" he suggested and at the mention of Drake I hoped that he'd get very well soon. I just nodded my head and followed Frank to his hut. Of course we didn't forget about the weapons so we took it with us. It wasn't too far to get to the hut, it was approximately 100 meters away.

We arrived before the sun could set and so then we stepped inside the hut. We only found Drake still sleeping on the couch. I decided to wake him up but Frank said to let him rest a bit for a while, I wondered why but I did what he said. I sat on a chair, bored as hell.

When the sun settled into dusk, Frank lit a candle and placed it on the food table so it'd illuminate the place. Frank went to his room and came back a moments later, carrying a loaded gun on his shoulder. He headed to the entrance door ready to step out but my voice stopped him, more like froze him.

"Where're you going?" I asked plainly.

"Oh.... How could you see me...~? You know its dark here how can you still see me~" he said obliviously.

Huh? What an idiot....

"Isn't it obvious? you lit a candle on that food table over there and you ask me how I see you? Also the moonlight that beams through the windows making it more easy to see anything in this place, including you of course." I said with a bored tone.

"O-oh riiight~ ehehehe... Errr I'm g-going out to check on something just don't worry~ I'll be back very soon~" said Frank, stuttering in his talk.

Just before I could say anything he leaved in a hurry. I let out a sigh, what shall I do now?

Minutes have passed and Drake still asleep, moving left and right, I stared at him but not longer as a cracking sound came from outside the window. I cocked my head up towards the window's direction gaping at it, trying to find who's there. Maybe it was Frank, maybe he wants to pull a prank on me. Heh such a crappy clown. I stood up fromy seat and called Frank's name loudly.
