Lost In Time

Stitches

"I remember that day, the day you left me to die, I tried to survive on my own but you took my soul and ripped it apart. I am alone now, alone for eternity." - Cassiel

Raziel woke K.7 up in the night, "I see it." She said, Raziel pointed to a figure in the shadows. It was closer to them, it was watching, waiting, listening.

K.7 jumped thru the window and glided down, the figure didn't move.

K.7 landed, "Why are you here?" He asked, he watched it carefully

"N00–013848000o-t y——-838578e.....57t." It said, then it smiled, then it turned away to leave, "Wait! Don't be a coward! Why are you here?" K.7 raised his voice.

The words that follow made shivers go down   K.7's spine. "Wat39ch yo-ur step, we wo-3948uldn't wa2939-nt you to be cu@#t in hal18-37f." It said with a near perfect voice.

It disappeared, the second K.7 moved he felt a sharp pain in his leg, it was almost like his leg was being cut off.

He climbed back to Raziel, "I don't know what that thing is, that scares me." He whispered, then he started to cough up blood. After some time he couldn't walk or talk, he was rushed to the hospital. Raziel and Ender stayed with him.

Cassiel was walking back to the house, (still smelling like alcohol). She noticed a bush moving.

"Shhh!" "Hold still!" The bush spoke?

Cassiel walked over to it and cut the bush in half with her sword. It revealed the princess and a soldier sitting there.

"Why are you in a bush?" She asked out of pure curiosity.

"Well ummm we were waiting on the General?" The soldier tried to explain.

Cassiel looked angry, "How did you get here?" She asked.

"With the General?" Ivy replied.

"Ohhhh... yes... that man, he is mean. But looks finnnnneee!" She said in a drunken voice.

"We are going to go now..." The soldier said shyly.

Cassiel held out her sword, "Oh no you don't." She used her magic to create a rope, she tied them down and took them inside, they were speechless of the beautiful paintings on the walls.

"You peasants sit here! I will..." she paused and walked away, she came back with another bottle of wine. "I will watch you till that handsome General comes back." She said, she swayed side to side.

Seishin walked in the room. "What are you doing?" He asked, he was holding books.

Cassiel looked back with a stingy face. "Another intruder!" She yelled, she chased him around, finally she tied him up and sat him down.

"There, now don't die." Cassiel said happily, she took another sip of the wine.

"Please let us out." Seishin begged.

"Silence peasant!" Cassiel raised her voice.

"She gets like this when she is drunk, sorry girls." Seishin whispered.

"So, why are you in my house?" Seishin asked.

"We were waiting on the general." Ivy replied.

"Oh you mean K.7, he is in the hospital, I don't know why though." Seishin whispered, he looked back at Cassiel, she was inches away from from his face.

He jumped back in fear, "Don't scare me like that!" He yelled.

"Where did you put it?" She asked in an angry tone.

He looked confused, "Put what?" He asked.

"MY BOTTLE!" She raised her voice and sat back in the chair.

"You mean the bottle that's in your hand?" Seishin held back laughter.

She looked at the bottle, "Oh.. you found it, good job." She sighed and leaned back.

"Can you untie us?" Seishin asked as he struggled to move.

Cassiel looked at them with a strange look, "No, intruders don't get to live."

"Don't get to live?!" The soldier said with a worried voice, she tried to get up but every time she moved the ropes got tighter.

"Please Cassiel." Seishin pleaded.

She was looking at the door, she looked back at him with a frown. "I said no. Now stay there peasant!" She raised her voice and held up the wine.

"This will be a long day." Seishin sighed.

-Meanwhile-

Raziel was asleep, Ender was watching the clock, the more she watched the slower time became.

Ender looked at K.7, he was asleep in the bed. The only sound in the room was the faint sound of monitor  beeping softly. Even though Ender was as drunk as Cassiel she kept herself controlled, she could handle her liquor well.

Ender let out a loud sigh, she looked at Raziel, she was in the corner.

Ender stood up and walked over to her, she picked her up and started to walk out of the room. Then the monitor stopped, the sound of a long beep was behind her. She didn't want to look back. Ender stopped walking, the doctors and nurses rushed into the room, Ender walked away.

She went back home to Cassiel asleep and Ivy, The soldier and Seishin trying to break free.

Ender rolled her eyes, without saying anything she set them free.

"Thank you." Seishin said, he picked up the scattered books that he dropped before.

The soldier stepped in front of Ivy, "Where is the General?" She asked, trying not to look scared.

Ender gave her a death glare that sent shivers down their spins, "Sit." She told them.

They sat down in fear, Ender walked upstairs and put Raziel into her bed, she closed the curtains and the door.

Ender walked back downstairs and looked at Ivy and the soldier, "Go home." She said as she glared at them, "Y-yes ma'am!" The soldier yelled, she grabbed Ivy's hand and ran out the door, Ivy stopped her. "Let's stay." Ivy said with a calm voice.

"W-what?!" The soldier yelled, she pulled on her hand. "You have to be crazy!" She said as she tried to get Ivy to go with her.

"I just need to know where the General is. Then we can leave." Ivy said, she turned back to the house. They knocked on the door.

Seishin opened the door, "I thought you two went home. What do you need?" He asked.

"Where is the General?" Ivy asked him, The soldier was behind her.

"He is at..." He paused. "He is going home, don't worry, he is probably at the castle by now. I would suggest that you head on home now." Seishin forced a face smile.

"Ok." Ivy replied, they went home after that. Ivy didn't say anything on the way back.

-Meanwhile-

"I have her location. It's only a matter of time before we catch her." A voice said.

"Perfect." A strange voice said, it was dark and mysterious.

A noise of a pawn hit the floor from a chess board.

"Bring me Keres, it's time for the knights to play." The low voice said.
