The Fighters (Amicia x Melie |A Plague Tale game)

Ch 2: Out of that Closet

Hi!

I've came to conclusion that if you know who Melie or Amicia is you must've played A Plague Tale or at least watched the gameplay of it, so me rewriting the whole plot of the game would be 1) useless 2)timeconsuming 3) very boring to read! That's why I'll skip some parts (of course I'm gonna tell which one) to avoid this story to became boring.

This chapter is still quite close to the original game but I would like futer chapters to be more about these two amazing ladies.

Also, english is NOT my first language so I apologize for any mistakes.

Hope you enjoy it!

[The guards are looking for Amicia who ran away. Melie and Amicia are by the cage where Hugo is being kept.]

"I need my sling to get you out." Amicia whispered to the boy "Did they have it when they put you there?"

"Yes" he squeaked "They put it in the trunk there." He pointed at the nearest tent.

Amicia crunched down and approached a small wooden trunk. She pulled the cover but it was locked. She glanced at the red-haired girl who was gazing at her the whole time.

"Is something wrong with my face?" she asked confused

"Hmm?"

"You keep staring at me. Is something wrong?"

Melie blushed "N-No. I was just...Nevermind. Let me open it." She approached the trunk and quickly get rid of the lock.

"And voila!" She smiled at Amicia but the girl didn't even look at her. 

She quickly grabbed a leather sling and ran up to the cage.

"Uhh why do you even care whether she'd seen that or not? " Melie scolded herself

The noble girl shot a small rock and the cage went down...making a whole lot of noise.

"That was too loud!" Melie grabbed her head "We're fucked!"

"Relax!" Amicia scolded her "They're too busy looking for me. Now, open it!"

Melie opened the cage and a small boy dashed out of it and wrapped his arms around his sister.

"Amicia!" he whimpered "They told me that I'd never see you again! I was scared!"

"It's alright, Hugo." she stroked his head

Looking at that scene, the red-haired girl had a huge lump in her throat. It seemed like ages since the last time she hugged her brother. But that was just the side effect of growing up in a dirty gutter, they've become quite bad at showing emotions.

"I'm here now and we're getting out of this place. We're going with Melie, she's gonna help us."

"But she's a thief." he whispered

"Rude..." Melie thought

"Yes, but she's sorry for what she did, aren't you Melie?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm a bad girl. Happy now? Can we go?"

The three of them continued their way to freedom.

Melie was angry at herself for feeling sympathetic towards those two.

"Remember" she whispered to herself "They're just two big sacks of money, just another quick job that your stupid brother had found."

They were almost outside when the main gate opened and a scary man on a horse rode in with a group of armoured man.
