The Life of Erin Tribal

Chapter 5

Celes looked at the note, then lurched up.

"Ok, either your mother will not be allowed or we will be in trouble. How does she know that I haven't started your training yet? I was going to start tomorrow, but I guess we better do it today. Could you wake Terra for me?" explained Celes. She was mad.

"Sure," replied Erin. Erin walked over, bent down, and shook Terra awake.

Terra slowly looked up at Erin, then at Celes, and then sat up.

"What's going on?" asked Terra sleepily.

"I'm truly sorry Terra. But we need to start Erin's training today, and I'm going to need to train you some more as well. Come on girls, this way," beckoned Celes.

Terra got up, and the two girl followed Celes out of the room. Erin looked at both of them and had a million thoughts running through her head but said nothing. They entered another room. Celes went to the back of the room, grabbed something, then walked back to them.

"Erin, this is yours," explained Celes, handing Erin a sword.

The only way Erin had actually known what it was is because she had seen soldiers at the castle with them.

"Mom.. Why? Why are you giving me this?" asked Erin, seriously confused.

"Well, you need to train now, don't you?" sarcastically said Celes.

"Erin, from what I've been told, you know what this is. You just might not know how to use it," explained Terra.

"You got that right on. I've seen soldiers at the castle with them, but I myself have never been allowed to see them in action," explained Erin, starting to feel a little worried.

Celes looked into Erin's eyes, and smiled softly. She looked straight into Erin's eyes, and Erin could tell what she was saying. "Don't worry."

Erin gave a small sigh, then smiled slightly. She had figured it no use to argue with anyone. She had to keep herself alive, even if she was only five years old.

So the day went on, and they trained non-stop. Erin was growing tired, but didn't complain. She felt she was still too young to do this kind of work. She didn't even know what was going on anymore. Would her sister be safe? She trusted Beatrix as a dear, dear friend. Erin didn't know if she could trust her Mothers words anymore.

So, far past the evening bell to order everyone to bed, Celes, Terra, and Erin finally headed for bed. Once they got into the room, Erin just collapsed on her bed. No knowledge of what was to happen when she woke up.

During the night, however, soldiers from Erin's home had gotten into the room, and under Erin's Mother's, Kefka's, and Kuja's order's, Erin was chained too the wall. They knew how to do it without waking her, as Erin was a very sound sleeper. Almost nothing could wake her.
