Lucy Scarlet [Discontinued]

=-= Chapter 13 =-=

=-= Deimos POV =-=

My sight was blinded by the glowing and sudden light. Even if I was covered in adrenaline, I passed out before I knew where I was.

Being consciously awake now, I could already tell we're are far into the mainland, far from the ocean. Some objects keep poking me and it causes some of my muscles to go numb. A rope is tightly wrapped around me, not allowing a lot of movement from my arms or legs. It's also unusually dark, so I finally opened my eyes to know if I can even see in here.

"Hey, Deimos," a female voice said quietly. It also echoed throughout the... cave. A torch was the only thing to light up the area I'm in. I looked around before confirming that we were inside of a cave. And while doing that, I found out the female was Eucleia, sister of The Taurus. Her short, black hair was getting greasier and her eyes were still like that of a void. I couldn't see her attire too well, but I can at least say that it has seen better times. It's the best time to mention this but she was the one who made the axe for her brother. 

"Eucleia?" I said, my voice refusing to go louder than a whisper. She nodded at me, but then she pointed towards me as if saying 'look beside you.' Thadeus, Angelia, Horus, Neleus and Arion were here too, still asleep.

Thadeus's brown hair was much like Eucleia's, greasy and unwashed. He would've had his bow and arrow - since he's a sibling to the Sagittarius - but it's nowhere near him, probably taken. Again, I can't his attire but he's way too sensitive to heat, so he might not wear something that covers him much. 

Angelia is bent over and it seems like her long hair is tied into a loose ponytail. Her arms aren't covered so you could see some signs of her trying to get out of the tight ropes that were put around her. Sister to the Scorpio and she has an ability to cut anything, but it seems like these ropes are anti-magic. Damn, maybe that's why it's not letting them reach out to us in the first place.

Arion was actually waking now. He looked around and when his amber gaze reached mine, he starts to shake.
"D-Deimos?" Arion said quietly. I looked down at the floor beneath me. His dirt-like hair seems black in this dim lighting. His clothes are probably in muck and grease, but so is nearly everyone else's. He doesn't like violence or anything like this, so seeing me must've frightened him even more. I nodded as my answer, but he already knew. He stayed silent, nearly like his sister, Libra.

Horus was the recent one that was taken, so he didn't look as bad as the blacksmith. He wasn't awake, probably trying to conserve all of his energy. The white-haired, bulky guy must've thrown a fit or something knowing him. But then again, he could be like his brother Capricorn and actually tried to asset the situation.

Looking at the little boy with lime hair made me sad. He's the youngest out of all us, and the most delicate. Any kind of violence sends him spiralling. And you can already tell that he cried a lot with his face like that.

I gritted my teeth, trying to stay calm. Liz - she can, will tell Lucy about this. One way or another, it doesn't matter. But if Elizabeth actually saw this, she might not be able to hold her anger. Why does this have to happen?! 
"Calm down. I know what you're thinking," Eucleia whispered in her raspy voice. "Elizabeth... I agree she won't be able to hold her anger, but she doesn't know this... does she?"
"She came back..." I said slowly and quietly. Arion stopped shaking, mouth gaped. Eucleia widens her eyes but quickly recovered the shock. She cursed, and thankfully, gone unnoticed to anyone else's ears except for mine and Arion's. "I stupidly told her to get Lucy."
"I think... I think that's the best."
"...How?"
"Lucy can help us. Elizabeth can too... if she's calm."
"But... It'll work, right?" Arion questioned. I was confused but couldn't question it as a strange voice rang out.
"Looks like Cancer's brother woke up~," a feminine voice said as footsteps come near us. 

"Nice of you to wake up, I was getting worried that maybe I killed you," the woman said as she put on a baby voice. She chuckles as she didn't hear my response. "Quiet, huh? Well, no worries." Footsteps stop and I can only see that she was wearing a cloak.
"Let's get to know each other, okay~?"
