Incubus I (UNDER EDITING)!!!

Chapter 46: The Old Church

They covered themselves up in thick leather and wool cloaks, before entering the city, riding in pairs all the way to through the city gates silent enough to pick up any sound, but nothing came, nothing but the could winds that almost froze their lungs.

"i have a really bad feeling about this place" Vulcan said nervously, breaking the silence
"yea me too" Rava supported " i think we should turn around"
"yea... Its been quiet for too long, something is not right " Kira added
Levi looked to Kelvin, and as always he was calm, and looking self assured, then he had idea
" Kelvin, you've been here before? " he asked
" yea" Kelvin replied without giving him the courtesy of a glance
"is there something we should be bothered about " he asked
Kelvin knowin the game he was playing this time didn't answer, but rode past him. Levi stopped his horse. Kelvin noticed the others stopped with Levi, pushing him to give them all a reply,

" i don't know " he said turning his horse back to face them.
" what do you mean you dont know, isn't that the reason you're here" Carina snapped
"hold your tongue Carina " Marcus shunned
Kelvin took his gaze to her and so did Edda" i havent been here in years, i think you should know that things change rapidly out here, or perhaps you don't, since you were playing frontier Garrison at home "
" Kelvin! " Edda called, signaling him that he was going too far
" listen guys, we'll never complete this assignment if we keep fighting amongst ourselves " Rava stated, taking the spotlight.
" perhaps that's why the prophecy said we won't succeed, because we'll always be fighting, it precisely what has been happening since the very beginning, at its cost us good men already, how many more need to die before we realize that we can only succeed if we are United "

A long solemn silence befell the squad when Rava had made an end of speaking.
" the church is the safest place to be out here, follow me" Kelvin said turning his horse forward.
"you're right " Ava said riding close to Rava" all we've been doing so far is fighting, perhaps there's something wrong with this quest" she said
"what makes you think that he asked "
" sometimes ago i overheard Kelvin say that the journey into these lands is as dangerous as it has been to us, it almost like something is trying to prevent us from coming to it" Ava said

Her words slowly began to make sense to him, he considered all that had happened since they started and realized it all wasn't normal, and if not for a couple of miracles they could have all died months ago.
"Maybe that demon from Kelvin dream is responsible for all this" Ava said
"what dream " Rava asked
" Kelvin's mind is plagued with nightmares that cause him to attack his loved ones, Making him think he is fighting a demon."
"Isn't that what that book they read said about the demon that escaped the seal" Rava asked. Ava nodded her response.
"i doubt it, one demon cant use a person to destroy an entire city " Rava said
" i know that but, demons aren't predictable it could have... "
" an army?... No army in its right senses would destroy everything and not take something as a reward for their efforts "
After Ava heard this, she fell silent having nothing to counter it with, he was right, but something didn't add up.
" don't worry we'll discuss it with the others and hear their point of view" he said softly.
"i don't think that's a good idea, Kelvin would think we discuss his problems behind his back" Ava said.
Rava found sense in what she said, and refrained from dwelling on the topic.

Edda rode up to Kelvin's side, and remained silent, not sure if he was angry or not, so as not to offend him any further.
"you okay? " he asked turning to her, she nodded
He could see it in her eyes that she wanted to tell him something, but she was still struggling with it.
" you sure" he asked again
"yea " she replied looking to him.
" what's up with Carina " he asked
" i don't know " she replied
Permanently changed his attention from the road to her, making her extremely uncomfortable.
" what are doing " she chucked
" looking at you" he replied
"why "
" so you can tell me what's going on, you look like you know something" Kelvin said
"i don't know anything " she said with a warm smile
Kelvin stopped his horse, and watched her ride on
" what are you doing " she asked
" I'm not moving an inch till you talk " he said.
" well then you are welcome to wait "
" luckily i have all day" he said
"Kelvin you're making a scene " she said... But he began whistling
" okay fine, I'll explain when you catch up "
" how am i sure youre not saying this just to get me moving "
" You have my word " she said
" with all due respect ma'am I'm a common man i have no use for words"
Edda rubbed her face with her palm and exhaled " I'm gonna fricking kill you"
"hmm... Good resolve " he said riding up to her, she punched him in the shoulder immediately he entered her arms reach.
