~Junie Secla's Prospective~
I was tied to pole, where I watched thousands of people getting slaughtered. Rex included. I struggled to free myself, but to no avail. Rather, I was completely frozen in shock as the slaughter continued.
There, I saw Eclipse, half his mask purely white, while the other in deep rose blood.
Tears rolled down my eyes as he walked towards me....
~Rex Spades' Prospective~
I suddenly woke up, hearing sniffles right next to me. I slowly opened my eyes, as I saw Junie lying right beside me, curled up in up in a ball, helplessly.
As I turned my head, I first saw the window in our room opened, when it was originally closed... Hmm...
I then saw Junie crying...Tears began strolling down her cheeks....
I put my finger up against her cheeks to stop one of the teardrops.
I then gently poked her, whispering to her, "It's alright Junie, it's just a dream,"
Tears suddenly stopped, as her face suddenly turned into a slight smile.
It was 3am, and I ain't in the mood to carry her, I think I'll just let her stay here.
I woke all of a sudden out of reflex, I felt like I was being embraced. I turned my head and saw Junie laying beside me...Hugging me...
She looked awfully cute while sleeping....like a puppy.
Yet again I woke up, as I felt someone hugging and lying on top of me....Junie was lying on top of me, squeezing me like a teddy bear.
I smiled as I put both of my hands on top of her and went to bed.
~Junie Secla's Prospective~
I woke up noticing Rex right next to me, smiling, looking at me, as I slowly opening both of my eyes, I was too tired to be surprised or jump up screaming, and I noticed I was hugging him while I slept....
I sighed, embarrassed that I was in his bed, half of the night...I hope.
"What are you doing in my bed?" I asked, blushing, as my face was burning.
"Your bed? This is my bed. I found you in the middle of the night, crying." Rex smirked, getting up from bed.
I sighed, trying to calm myself down from rushing panic and embarrassment.
"C'mon, we need to get going to Chief Andrew's office for any more evidence and stuff right?" he asked, "Your face is red again Junie,"
I breathed heavily, it was so hard to breath...
"Achoo!" I sneezed, as my hands began to tremble.
Rex walked over to me and touched my forehead.
"Hmm....You have a fever Junie, I'll go get Chief Andrew's wife to look after you, you rest alright?" his face seemed quite sincere.
I nodded in agreement.
I really wanted to go help Rex, but I might just be in the way while I'm still sick.
Thinking of the possibilities how I ended up in Rex's bed, I laid down, taking a quick snooze.
~Rex Spades' Prospective~
I sighed as I went to the bathroom, and splashed myself with some icy cold water.
Junie's quite sick, and I've to find Chief Andrew Vikes and Mrs. Vikes.
A pain....a darn freaking pain in the neck.
I wiped my face with a towel.
"Anyways, I wonder how Junie got to my bed...." I wondered, changing the subject of my thoughts,
"She looks absolutely adorable when she's sleeping...What the heck am I saying?! We're friends, she's my assistant, nothing more,and nothing less, she probably likes some football player from school or something,"
I splashed myself with water again, blinking out all the extra water.
When I finished brushing my teeth and stuff, I found Junie asleep, her face red and sweating.
The fever would explain the red face....
I put on my trench coat, and left it unbuttoned...
"Hmm.. it feels like I've always done it, but never done it before..." I muttered, looking at my unbuttoned trench coat.
"Whatever, to Chief Andrews!" I sighed, as I looked back at Junie on last time before I headed out.
Noticing I have a car, it was a custom made car, I probably built it or some random guy, maybe some dude named Nick? No idea.
But it was pretty cool looking, I'll leave it for your imagination.
I hopped in, started the car, as I drove to Chief Andrew's office.
I eventually found it, as I saw an old man, guessing that was him.
As I entered, the Chief pulled out a gun on me.
"Uh....I may have stumbled into an gangster's office..." I mumbled to myself, raising my arms.
"Heck no son," the chief replied, arming the gun, "My boss sent you a love letter," he replied, dunking down in some whiskey.
"Alright, you're just freaking drunk," I sighed to myself.
However, even in drunk state, he still managed to hand me a letter.
"Here, the love letter," he smiled, dunking down even more whiskey.
I opened it and read it.
I-i-i-i-it was from Eclipse...
Hello Mr. Spades,
It seems you have survived after all, I have to say, I'm impressed you managed to pull through.
I couldn't think of anything that could mentally kill you, since I killed everyone in your life...
However, last night, I saw Ms. Seclas embracing you while you both slept.
I have found the perfect opportunity to snatch Ms. Seclas, when you left to receive this message?
Humiliating isn't it?
If you try to call the police, I'll kill them all, and I'm sure you know that I ain't joking.
In order to get Ms. Seclas back, I challenge you to a duel on top of the courthouse at midnight.
I suggest you a bring a sword.
Eclipse
I crumpled the piece of paper, as I clenched my fists.
The thought of Eclipse having his hands on a hostage was utterly annoying!
And how did he know of Junie accidentally falling asleep on me?! Is he some kind of stalker?!
Stalker! The only thing that filled my minds were, Junie in danger, and him stalking us.
Why?! Because he wanted to see me change?! He wanted to see me take a bath? Writing a letter? And cook?! What the hell is wrong with this guy?!
And he seemed way too polite to be a mass murderer. However, that makes matter even worse. Freaking 'polite' murderer? I took a deep,breath, sighing as I left the office.
"Spaaaaaades...." the chief grinned stupidly, "Going to see your Junie?"
I smiled back at him, "Heck yeah!"
I raced back home, just making sure if Junie really was gone.
When I reached home, I looked around, as if I was a robber looking for money.
No luck. She really was gone.
I sighed as left my house.
He said I needed a sword. A sword. Where the heck am I suppose to get a freaking sword at this generation?
I decided to go to the library in search for any ideas to get a sword.
As I walked in, I walked straight towards the 'swords' section, looking around, poked around with a few books, when suddenly, I saw a mystery in a book.
Alright, those are probably the only things in the world that I can't resist.
I looked at it, it says,
"To those who solve the riddle, shall be the one granted the sword of many power, be the humble, then shall you be rewarded. Go towhere the petals grow, seek for the thing that fights the sword, then look upon the heavens to know the truth. The truth shall be theone you seek, for the truth shall be there to help you in the knight's need."
"Hmm..." I thought to myself, resting my head in my hands.
I've got it!
But, I was sleepy, and I decided to take a nap.....I woke up suddenly, as a librarian woke me up.
"It's midnight sir, I'm afraid you have to leave," she yawned.
Midnight?! Already?! Holy Crap! I must've fallen asleep for a while now!
"I have no sword...Crap! Oh well, let's do our best and see what happens...." I sighed, as I raced to the courthouse.
I made sure the guards weren't looking my way, as I climb up the ladders to the rooftops, and looked around for the Masked Murderer.
"Well, Well, Well, seems like you forgot a sword," a voice laughed behind me.
I turned around to see the Masked Murderer guy, with Junie, still knocked out.
"Before we start," he stated, taking a green glowing pill, "The bullet that went through your skull wasn't an ordinary bullet," he chuckled, tapping the pill.
"The bullet wasn't actually a bullet, it was a pill, shot through a custom made sniper, specially designed for such purposes," he continued, "The pill makes you forget your memories as well as change your personality, it's a great lil' thing. The pill can also be swallowed, making chance of dying fairly slim." he suddenly plopped the pill into Junie's mouth.
"So, uh, will she turn like, into some monster when she wakes up?" I asked, somewhat chuckling at the situation "I wonder what she'll be like, maybe, monster, maybe something gentle, hopefully a monster, 'cause I always wanted a pet monster!"
The Masked Guy shrugged, "It's fifty-fifty that she'll survive, so, without proper treatment she WILL die,"
I suddenly froze, alright, fun and games are over. I changed my view to the Masked Murderer.
He tossed me a sword, even with the mask on, I could tell he was smiling.
Now, I really don't like him, preparing my sword.
"Engarde!" The Masked Murderer laughed.
Our swords clashed against each others, making metallic rings, throughout the rooftops.
I shifted my sword blocking his net attack, as I moved slightly to a defensive position.
Cling! Clang!
I suddenly heard shrieks of terror, as I heard policemen race towards the courthouse.
"I have to end this quickly!" I thought to myself, as the Masked Murderer made his move.
I quickly slashed his right arm, as he dropped his blade. I kicked his blade away, as I kneeled in front of him.
Just as I was going to take off his mask, he grabbed a dagger out of his pockets and stabbed my left arm, and quickly scrambled away somewhere.
I began to breath heavily, as I saw Junie, somewhat unharmed....
Huff...Puff....
I carried Junie, down just as the ambulance got there, I lost consciousness.
