Fan Fiction ❯ Stormy Conscience ❯ Diner with a sadist ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7: (Triks POV) Dinner with a Sadist.

Ow that stupid idiot for shooting me in the leg, it canes so bad. Though it does feel slightly better now that their doctor had a look at it, he was a bit alright. Not as cool as Dragon though and if that Blade bloke thinks he can scare me away from Dragon then he has another thing coming. I was quite pissed off when I found out that were sharing a room with each other. That was so damn unfair, I would love to share a room with Dragon, maybe a bed too. Oh well the day has been quite uneventful and I still haven't met the host, Max. But dinner is quite soon so I'll met him then. I don't know how to feel about it though Blade makes him sound like a sex driven maniac, but Blade was probable trying to scare me. Barstad. Well I'd better make my way to the dining room, maybe I can met Max before the others get there, so Blade can't mock me for being terrified of him. I head out the room and down a corridor before realising I have no idea where I'm going. So I head to the main entrance hall to ask Shane for directions.

"May I ask who are you? You must be with Dragon and Blade. I dare say I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet." I jumped slightly as a hard slap was placed on my arse.

"Ah. Keep ya hands of da merchandise. I'm Triks and yes I am `ere wit Dragon `n' Blade." I gave him a look up and down. He was hot, sexy long blond hair well toned body. Hot, maybe better looking then Dragon.

"Mmm…" he hummed in appreciation. "That's one fine stock you got there, I might have to test it out sometime. But unfortunately we do not have the time now let me escort you to dinner."

As he lead me down a large number of corridors every now and often he would give me a lustful gaze. We now walked into what I assumed was the dining room, it was quite a big room and the round table was laid for six.

"Right seating, me on the big chair, Chaos on my right hand side and Blade next to her. Cinsanati next to him, then Dragon, then you between me and Dragon. How does that sound?" He asked me as Chaos walked in.

"Sounds great?" I asked unsure what I should say.

"Yeah a great idea, if you ignore the fact that Blade doesn't like sadists and Cinsanati wants Blade in chains, for a bit of fun." Chaos stated sarcastically.

"Tough I've already had one agreement and here's Blade and Dragon." Max pointed out. "Don't tell Blade who his sitting next to, Chaos. Sit there Blade and Dragon you're there. Chaos normal seat and Triks you know where your sitting. Hmm… Sin is late." He sat down at his chair and everyone copied.

Chaos must be important to Max if she is at his right hand side, then again she is his adopted daughter. God I wonder what this Cinsanati character is like and what's taking him so long. Suddenly the door crept open a tall male slipped in. the first thing that hit me was his hair, or rather the colour of it. Blue, red and purple vertically striped.

"Sorry, I'm late I had some business to attend to." He smiled meekly to Max, his eyes swept the table locating the empty seat. "Blade it's been a long time since I have seen you." He sank to his seat.

"You have some blood on your arm, Cinsanati." Chaos smiled at him.

"Ah. So I have, thank you for pointing that out." He got the blood off his arm with long slow lick. "So..." he turned his attention to me, he was very scary. His eyes were like an emerald pool, though they seamed so empty and hollow. "As the others do not have the manners to introduce you to me I will have to do it myself. My name is Cinsanati and what is yours?" A small smile played on his lips.

"My name is Triks, it's nice to met you." I said as respectably as I could. I didn't want to get on this guys bad side, he seemed to be nice and all. But there was something not right about him, well the licking the blood of the arm thing was creepy. I think he might be a murderer, and whilst killing someone he got a cut where his victim fought back. That would explain why he was late too. Man, I'm sitting next to a killer. Oh my god his going to kill me next. I shifted my weight away from him realising that if he went for me now I was a dead man. I was in a room with only one person who had never had the though of injuring me. That's a real chilling thought, only Max hasn't as far as I know thought of hurting me. God I'm going to die, I know that one of these people sitting at the table is going to kill me. Right take deep breathes before you have a panic attack and forget to breathe. They're not killing me yet, but I still have to get to the next town before I get to leave them.

"When are we going to continue to the next town, Blade?" I tried to hint that I wanted to get out of this place.

"Don't know. I think Dragon wants to continue to find Driane, so I think we'll leave tomorrow and nick a couple of horse from this dump. I take it you don't want to come then." He gave a small smirk.

"… I don't really know." God that guys a creep, now I don't know what to do this is so annoying. I can either follow my brain and avoid these maniacs or follow my heart for Dragon. Why? Why is my life so complex now? I wish I had never bothered staying to help Dragon. I'm such an idiot, his gorgeous and has powerful magic but his not worth this. I'm going to die.

"Triks are you O.K. I know that this place and the people that live here are a bit weird, but there all good people. I hope you don't leave that soon." Dragon smiled kindly at me. This is creepy maybe he can read mind as well, I know he can transform in to a lion like beast so it should be beyond him to read my mind.

"Yeah I'm fine Dragon. I was just curious, that's all." Great now I'm even more in two minds.

"You're going on a man hunt aren't you? Sounds fun I might have to join. Who's going?" Cinsanati interrupted, to my horror. Please don't let the murderer come with us.

"Me, Dragon, Chaos and Triks…" Blade started but was interrupted by Max.

"I'm not going to leave Chaos in your care for that amount of time. I'm going to come to." Max said firmly.

"O.k. then everyone at this table will be part of this man hunt. We shall leave at dawn." Blade arranged.

"WHAT? I'm not getting up at that time in the morning, can't we leave about elevenish." Max whined.

"No, if you want to come then you will do as the group leader says and that's me." Blade pointed at himself.

"I think not. You don't know the first thing about bounty hunting and I'm certainly not putting my life in your hands." I spoke up against him. "I think Dragon should be in charge, he is the best bounty hunter in this room."

"No, I couldn't do that." Dragon blushed slightly as the attention of the room turned to him. "I think that some-one else should do it."

"I could do it." Cinsanati said quietly, for once seaming unsure of himself. "I have bounty hunted on several occasions and am a good tracker. Also, at the end of the day where the borders of the Clans lands are."

"NO." Blade shock his head and got up so he could fully face Cinsanati. "There is absolutely no way that I will ever trust you to lead us to this guy. I don't care how good you are, it's just not worth the risk." He rose his voice with loathe as Cinsanati looked way from him and at the ground. This had to be the first time I saw Cinsanati as a human I guess, I felt sorry for him. Which made me feel bad and he was the best one here to lead us as Dragon wouldn't.

"Why are ya being so outa order? In fact I don't think ya `ave been in order so dats a stupid question. What is wrong wit ya? He's da best chance we `ave, otherwise we might as well not go." I stood up and confronted Blade.

"What do you know? You're just some idiot. You don't know him and you don't know me so keep out of it." He snapped back.

"His right, Blade. Cinsanati is the only one who can do it." The argument came from the one person he just couldn't argue back with.

"But Dragon…" he gave him an appalled and pleading look. " Please."

"It's settled then Cinsanati will be leading the ride and that's final." Chaos established. Blade stormed out of the room in a rage obviously not happy, Dragon followed him. The rest of us finished the food in silence.
