The Life of Erin Tribal

Chapter 10

~~~~~~~~

A/N: Ok, I'm trying to get to the point where the game starts, so I made this chapter a bit longer. Look for a little more at the end explaining how I'm going to go the coming chapters.

So, the two started fighting. Erin did as she was told and used Cure whenever one of them started looking weak.

Eventually, after about and hour of so of fighting, Celes sheathed her sword. She looked at Terra, then at Erin, smiling. Celes nodded approvingly and then started walking out of the room. Erin and Terra followed, not saying anything.

Since it wasn't time for lunch yet, Erin collapsed on her bed and tried to sleep. But, well, she just couldn't get to sleep. It was that either she was in too much pain or she wasn't tired.

So, they were like that for the next few hours leading up to lunch. Erin trying to get to sleep and Terra and Celes talking quietly.

When the bell finally rang for lunch, Erin's stomach was grumbling non-stop. They got up and headed for the cafeteria.

After lunch, Erin headed for the room that they had been in earlier. She walked to the back of the room and heard two people talking. The door opened, and Erin hid behind a tube thing.

"You gave her the choice!" yelled someone, who Erin quickly recognized as Kefka.

"Yes. I thought it wouldn't hurt," calmly said the other whom Erin recognized as Celes.

"Yeah, wouldn't hurt. We need someone to use a different one. I know we don't have too many Espers now, but if we said some troops to Narshe," explained Kefka, staring at Celes.

"And whom might I ask are you going to send?" asked Celes, stopping right in front of where Erin was hidden.

"I was thinking of sending Terra and Erin along with Biggs and Wedge," answered Kefka, stopping as well.

"Erin, but.." Celes trailed off, deep in thought.

The two stayed silent as they walked out of the room. Erin got up, and then ran out of the room. She took an alternate path as to avoid Kefka and Celes. They weren't there when Erin got back to the room, but Terra was.

"Where were you?" asked Terra, looking up at Erin as she entered.

"No time to explain now. Mom, err, Celes and Kefka may be headed to this room. We have to make it look like both of us have been here for a bit," explained Erin before sitting down in a chair.

She grabbed a piece of paper and one of the pens she had. She started drawing a horse, her favorite animal, when she had heard the door open.

"Why, look at this. They are both here. Now, Celes, go ahead and explain what we've been talking about," said Kefka who then leaned against the wall.

Celes looked at the girls thinking. Erin looked at Terra and Terra looked back at Erin, then both looked at Celes not sure of what to say.

"Well, how to explain this. Terra, Erin, we need to send you two to get and Esper. Biggs and Wedge will be joining you too," explained Celes, but was interrupted before she could say more.

"Where will we be going though?" Erin asked calmly, using her sense of knowledge she learned at the castle to not show that you already knew.

"The mining city of Narshe. You will be using Magitek Armor and I will show you how to operate them tomorrow. You are to leave the day after tomorrow," explained Celes.

Erin thought for a second, then said, "What about mother? I thought she was coming back with this Kuja guy next week!"

"Ah, yes. We will tell them that you are too busy for anyone and will have guards surrounding your door," said Kefka, looking at the now 6-year-old.

"Mom isn't fooled that easily. She can tell when someone's lying to her and she will more than likely come looking for me," explained Erin, almost yelling.

"You should be back in a little more than a week. We will keep them here for about 10 days, then will send them back," said Kefka, trying to cover-up for what he had said.

Erin sighed, and then turned away, not bothering to argue anymore. She knew she would lose but didn't want to know what would happen if they continued at it. Eventually, Kefka just left, leaving the three there.

A/N: Ok, here's my plan for what going to happen next. The next chapter will be the Magitek Training. Chapter 12, then, will be getting the slave crown and heading for Narshe. Chapter 13 will of course be Narshe and the initial meeting of Locke, and after that, each chapter will be an area. Some chapters will just be traveling the world map and stuff!
