Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Inner Inferno ❯ Up Next ( Chapter 5 )

I can't believe how long it's been since I've updated!! I'm so sorry!! I started writing another story and got really caught up in it then I stopped writing for a really long time and was just reading other people's stories, I know that's not much of an excuse but at least that's the truth… anyways I'll do my best to get writing on this story again but I'm also having a bit of a problem getting to where I want to go with this story. I've got the main ideas but I'm having problems with the details and such… sigh… I'm soooooo sorry!!! Anyways here's the next chapter so enjoy!!

~Chapter 5~

"So Kelsea, why are you only staying one year, I mean why not just join completely? You obviously have the skills and it's not like you'd be the only girl slayer, Tania is here too even if she's a stuck up bitch with no honor, sense of humor, or any social skills."

Everyone had just finished up their training for the day and was packing up everything that they wouldn't need for the night and tomorrow's breakfast since they were leaving in the morning for the center of Zaibach and the Vione. It would have been quite the hike but they were lucky enough to have horses for everyone to ride and even a couple packhorses just for equipment.

"Well that would be my little secret, but if you really want to know… I just can't stand you, you talk to much Dalet."

Kelsea just couldn't help but laugh at the sight of a pouting Dalet, he stuck his lip out and everything, it was just too hilarious!

"Dalet, your such a baby! It's hard to believe you have the ability to kill anyone."

"Hey, no fair! First you basically call me a blabbermouth and now your calling me a baby! Maybe I should just stop talking to you altogether!"

"I'd really like to see you try! I'll bet you couldn't last 5mins without talking to the most beautiful woman you've ever laid eyes on!"

"You! The most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on! Guimel would make a better looking female than you!"

"Oh, I didn't know you favored males. That changes everything! Although I've suspected as much for a while now." Kelsea said with a slight smirk and an evil glint to her eyes.

"WHAT!!!"

All the other slayers were holding their sides from laughing so hard and at least half of them had fallen to the ground all that is except for Guimel.

"Kelsea," a monotone voice from behind the group said," I'd like to speak with you for a moment. Go to my tent and I'll meet you there."

All the laughing had been completely silenced at the sound of Folken's voice and the slayers now stood at attention hoping that Folken wasn't here to punish them for their childish behavior but even if he was it was far better than him telling Dilandau.

Kelsea's eyes turned serious and she bowed to Folken before heading to his tent. Folken then turned his attention to the assembled slayers in front of him. He looked them over once and without a single word turned to fallow Kelsea to his tent, his cape flowing silently behind him.

As soon as they were out of sight the slayers all let out a sigh of relief and went back to packing, not even Dalet saying a single word.

"Dilandau is becoming suspicious of you." Folken said as he walked passed Kelsea and sat over in his desk.

"I would have thought he was already suspicious of me." Kelsea stated in a slightly sarcastic tone. "He has seen my wings and I already know of his hate for the Draconian race even if that's not exactly what I am." Kelsea paused for a moment before continuing. "Speaking of which, have you found anything yet?"

"No, not yet. I would have thought I'd have found something by now but I may have better results once we return to the Vione. Until then I want you to be more careful. You are becoming way to attached to those few Dragonslayers."

"As I said before, I don't get attached to anything. This is merely a game for my spare time."

"Even so, you are not immune to feelings no matter how much you'd like to believe you are. This is a dangerous game you've decided to play."

Kelsea chuckled a bit under her breath. "Danger is what makes life worth living. And don't worry about my relations with the Dragonslayers that is the least of your worries for I'm getting bored and I'm about to up the level a bit." The slight twinkle in her eyes would make most people become very nervous.

"I'm warning you now to stay away from Dilandau. Should you chose to play your little game with him I doubt you'll win in any way."

"You doubt my abilities? I assure you Lord Folken, I never lose."

I know it's another short chapter but try to be happy that I've put up another one. I'll do my best to get another chapter out soon but I have to sort out all my ideas first. Review and tell me what you think so far. Laters!
