Falling For A... (REWRITING)

Chapter 13 ~ Dangers

------------

" ... Faylinn, can we please set out and find the siren? " Łucy asked worriedly. Faylinn looked at her small partner.

" I thought you were the one who wanted him dead. " Saying teasingly

" Shut up! It's just, just after hearing your story about the outcasts, I couldn't but help feel guilty! Plus, the direction he's heading in-! " Cut short by Faylinn interrupting her

" Deeper into the forest. I know Łucy, I know. You know how I promised you about not going back? Looks like I can't keep it, saving a siren in outcast territory or known better as the white forest. " Faylinn paused and sighed before continuing " C'mon, let's get going before dusks falls, it will only get worst if we don't. " Finishing her words Łucy flies beside her as she flies off into the direction the siren went.

The auburn walking in a now more calmer pace but still having up his sword in hand. The outcasts were smart and tricky, he couldn't let his guard down for a second. Walking deeper into the forest he didn't care for the stares he was getting from the outcasts and other otherworldly creatures as he walked straight along the forest floor.

Surprisingly, there was still something following him, it was smarter then him and Faylinn put together in brains. Much stronger then a man with the strength of ten men. It stalked the siren, as if it were prey, it's eyes slowly and carefully watching him. The creature couldn't wait for the next attack that the outcasts were going to do, not only will he enjoy watching Kato slice his sword through their white skin, he will enjoy the next fight when he comes across paler and more dangerous creatures.

" Land, home to faeries, dragons, animals and insane beings. " Kato said walking.

The sun had now at least reached to the middle of the sky, indicating it was noon and time for lunch. But yet, the siren did not stop moving, he continued with no sign of stopping or exhaustion. He played with his sword in hand doing little tricks with it while he waited.

Walking for awhile since noon had came, some type of scratching was heard. Like claws scratching against wood. Kato didn't even flinched when he heard it nor did he stop walking. He wasn't going to wait there and stand out like a sore thumb ( even though he already does ). The scratching became louder as he continued to walk, he smirked, his sword stopping its movement and staying still in his tight grip.

" Hang, hang young one. Enjoy the scenery, enjoy the sounds of your bones moulding together. " A weak, yet creepy voice said above him. It seemed clear yet distorted, like its vocal cords got screwed up. " Climb, climbing. Scenery is beautiful, climb and hang. "

His smirk grew wider, the creatures phrases were different from the last outcast he had sliced through. Before he could reach for his sheath again a soft thud came from behind him. His dark green eyes again shone, His auburn hair darkening, his sword losing its shine. Turning around to see a creature again with pale white skin. His body was skinny and deformed and in this pit less black eyes was a small red pupil. If you tried to put it in a simpler way, the creature tried to look like a spider even though he looked completely human.

" Touch and fall. Touch and fall, oh look, there's despair. Staring at you, opening its arms welcoming into nothingness." Kato voice went dark and foreboding " Fools, that's what they are. Fools that is what you are. Fools and cowards who welcome it to become stronger even though they grow more weak and helpless. Fools and cowards. Thats what you are. " Kato turned to face the creature, the sword in a more tighter of a grip.

The creature hissed and growled, angrily. Soon a few more soft thuds came, they surrounded him. Kato didn't flinch or blink as they walked towards and circled him. These spider like beings were much more brave then the other outcasts he ran into. Walking and circling, walking and circling. Soon, chanting.

" Hang and climb.. Scenery, hang.. Hang and climb.. Scenery, hang.. Hang and climb..." There voices all distorted and ripped.

They continued and continued. It was only broken when one of them jumped at Kato. A small glint in his eyes but very quickly vanishing. Pushing his sword through bony body of the being. Dark royal blue blood dripped from the creature and his sword. Pulling it his sword out of the body to prepare himself for the next attack which wasn't not long after he pulled his sword out of the creature. Slicing through and through, everything that jumped at him, anything that dared touch him. Before realizing it, it was over. Pile of dead bodies piled around him soaking in their blue blood.

Kato stared at them blankly, sheathing his sword making the sound of shink. His hair stayed dark, his eyes still shone. Turning his head to the right. He opened his mouth slightly but then closing it shut. Snapping his head upwards he began walking straight, the same way he was trying to go. As he walked his hair became the way it was before and the same with his eyes. Stepping one foot in front of the other, his hands in his pockets. Nothing was on his mind as he kept on walking, nothing.

Faylinn and Łucy made it to the beginning of the dark forest.

" Why do we have to walk?! Can't we just fly over?!! It would be so much quicker!! " Łucy yelled at Faylinn.

" If we were to do that. We would be dragged down by outcasts Łucy. Plus, it's to dense to see anyone inside. " Faylinn stated firmly. Łucy hmph. Faylinn rolled her eyes. Walking into the dark forest, leaving Łucy hovering in her spot alone. Noticing her leaving she quickly looks around and flails yelling 'wait for me!'.

Walking for a few hours they come across ashes and a sticky red liquid. Łucy felt like she was going to throw up meanwhile, Faylinn reached down and touched the red stuff. It was in fact sticky, it also smelled metallic. Wiping her hands on the grass she lifted herself up and turned to Łucy.

" Łucy, I want you to stay hidden. Outcasts will eat anything they can get their hands on. Plus, they are near by. " Faylinn said with a bit of worry. Łucy quickly flew to Faylinn and hid under her shirt. She did not want to die, especially by being eaten alive!

Returning to their walking, they notice a trail. Piles of ash and blood. Faylinn, deciding to follow it since it might lead them to Kato. Whoever had killed these were smart and strong. If it was a beast with four eyes she wouldn't be surprised, if it was Kato then she would be surprised. Soon the trail began to change, going from ashes and blood it went to white charcoal and blue blood. What exactly is going on in this forest?
