Our Fate (SuperGirlyGamer and FuriousDestroyer Fan Fic)

Chapter 14

Once we get back, I head to my room and make sure that the dress is put away safely. And I fall to sleep. I dream again.

This time, it's completely dark. I don't think that I'm anywhere but darkness. A voice comes on.

Voice 1: "Father... why are you doing this? You're only going to hurt yourself and those around you."

Voice 2: "What do you know. You're just a child. Now hand me your weapons."

Voice 1: "I... I'm sorry but I can't let you take them. It's for your own good."

Voice 2: "Then I'll have to take them from you myself."

. . .

I'm not sure if that was a bad dream. It certainly wasn't a good dream though. I sit in bed a bit longer trying to figure out why these dreams keep coming. Someone knocks on the door.

Me: "Who is it?"
FuriousDestroyer: "It's FuriousDestroyer."

Me: "Come in."

He walks in. He's still wearing his armor. But this time, he's also wearing the helm.

FuriousDestroyer: "Good. You're awake. We gotta get going soon."

Me: "Okay. I'll get packing then."

. . .

It's raining outside so we decide to eat breakfast on the floor of the living room. There's no way we'll be able to all fit around Minerva's tiny kitchen table anyways. Once done, we head for the gate of the village of PopularMMOs. The guards thank us for coming. Once far enough away, Lucinda splashes a potion on Big James. We stand back. Within moments, Big James returns to normal size. He touches his hand to the ground and lets us climb into it. He slowly moves his hand up to his shoulder and we climb up onto his shoulder. Once situated safely on his shoulder, Big James starts walking to our destination with directions from FuriousDestroyer.

I feel a bit worried. Who exactly are we fighting that only goes down when all of us are together? And why have these weird dreams been coming to me? Are they all linked to something important that I'm just not seeing? Why won't FuriousDestroyer say anything?

. . .

FuriousDestroyer says that it'll take several days to get to wherever we're going. I can no longer see the massive village of PopularMMOs. Even from Big James's shoulder. After riding on Big James's shoulder for several hours, we stop to take a break.

I stop by a small stream to take a drink. I cup my hands in the stream and pull out the fresh water up to my lips. The cool water is refreshing. I cup my hands again and splash it onto my face.

FuriousDestroyer: "Hey."
Me: "Hi."
FuriousDestroyer settles down next to me. He takes off his helm. He weaves his hand through his thick, unkempt hair. It makes it fly everywhere and stick up in strange places. He looks beautiful anyways. He gets his fill of water and also splashes himself.

Me: "I had another dream."

FuriousDestroyer: "I know. It took a few tries to wake you up. What was it about?"

Me: "I was in a dark... place. I don't think I was actually anywhere but I was listening to a very strange conversation between a father and son."

I stop. FuriousDestroyer freezes. He looks as if something is hurting him. Did I say something wrong?

Me: "Should... I keep going?"
FuriousDestroyer: "Yes."

Me: "I don't remember exactly what they were saying but the son was trying to keep his father from his weapons because he was going to hurt everyone around him. But his father wouldn't have it."

Silence.

FuriousDestroyer: "What happens next?"

Me: "That's it. I woke up after that."

Silence returns. It seems as if he's contemplating something. He stands up and leaves after a while.

. . .

We start heading towards our destination again. The world really is so much more beautiful from up here though. When the sun starts setting, Lucinda shrinks Big James and we set up camp. FuriousDestroyer plans to make a stew out of vegetables and rabbit. So Minerva and I volunteer to gather some. Hunter and ScarletWolf27 go out rabbit hunting. Apparently there are a lot of rabbits in the forest. I can't help but talk to Minerva while looking through the forest.

Me: "Do you have any idea who we're up against?"

Minerva: "I can't lie. I know who we're fighting but FuriousDestroyer had me promise not to say who."

Me: "Oh."

Minerva: "What happened with you two last night? I looked over at your chair and you weren't there. Then FuriousDestroyer got up and went into a hallway. Then you two came crashing back in. What happened?"

Me: "I saw King Pat stand up and head down that hallway. I followed him to a room and spied on him."

Minerva: "What did you see?"

Me: "King Pat was in a room with Queen Jen. Queen Jen was laying in bed. She seemed sick and injured. King Pat just came to check on her and kissed her on the forehead."

Minerva: "Some sort of royal love going on then. That's sweet. Both have never married."

Me: "After that, FuriousDestroyer found me and we ran back before King Pat noticed us."

Minerva: "He really is your prince charming. Did he ever tell you why he's taking care of you?"

Me: "I think so... he said that Mama Big Bertha saved his life. How?"

Minerva: "That's something that FuriousDestroyer wants to keep to himself. Again."

Me: "I see."

We stop talking after that. Once we have enough vegetables, we head back to camp. I sit next to FuriousDestroyer. We eat dinner in silence.

After we're done eating, we start deciding who's sleeping next to who. It's really cramped so we'll all be sleeping really close together. We finally decide on a sleeping arrangement. I'm sleeping next to FuriousDestroyer. We head to sleep.
