Kieku's lament
#2 of the story
"damn it kieku!"
"b-but we can't just leave him there!"
"arg! We don't have time for this!" I grabbed kieku's arm and pulled her into the shelter. Galidane was one of the few sentient dragons left. Galidane was the dragon that ruled lightening. And now, he's gone. Kieku was crying her eyes out.
"nooooo!" I held her in my arms
"shhhhh........." I tried to comfort her.
"let go of me!" I failed.
"calm down! He's gone..." she started to calm down a bit. She was still shaking in my arms though.
"z-zakaya?" her voice quivered, so I know something was up.
"yes?"
"p-please...... don't leave me...... ever..."
"moocow"
"now to what are you saying moocow to?"
"I will not die, or leave you for someone else.... Ever..." I smiled
"good...... thank you...." I rested my head on him. I knew he was going to be there for me no matter what happened to us in this blasted war...... no pun intended.
"well, I'm not going to die prematurely that is...." I giggled.
"I know..." this war was wearing on us all. This war is so stupid! I mean, why are humans such freaking stupid, supremacist, arrogant, bastards!?!?!?
"uh...... kieku?" uh, oh....
"u-uh, yeah?" Zakaya was wearing a worried look.
"you were thinking aloud again..." damn it....
"oh, sorry......" yeah, it happens to me a bit...someone knocked on the door.
"hey! Come on! Open up!!! It's me! Mercedes!" her voice was unmistakable... and shaky. I jumped up and opened it for her, then quickly shut it again. She was shaking and I could tell she had just phased back to human form.
"hey are you ok Mercedes?"
"n-no..." I went over to her and held her. NO! I AM NOT A LESBIAN...
"what happened?"
"I was ambushed and I had to phase to escape..."
"you know, you had just confirmed that you are a werewolf..."
"I was stressed out... and I had to phase so I could out run them and evade them..."
"i-I understand......"
"i-I'm cold..." well, it was true...
"well, I guess that's what phasing does to you..." I blushed a bit, and she giggled. This made me blush more and more, which made her giggle more.
"I guess you aren't cold anymore with all that blushing..." she let go of me and went over to Zakaya again.
"wait, what?" she giggled.
"I made you warm again, right?"
"y-yeah" it was kind of un orthodox though......
"GOOD GOD MERCEDES! PUT ON SOME CLOTHS!!!"
"good night veroseta..."
"PUT...ON...SOME...CLOTHS!"
"fine, I will......sheesh..."
"NOW!!!" she phased, then glared at me.
"I'll get you some cloths..."
"thank you kieku..." she left and threw some cloths on her.
"you suck veroseta..." I grinned.
"really? I didn't know that!"
"shut up..." I giggled as she put on her cloths.
"uh, where is Galidane?" everyone fell silent and somber.
"he-he's not... dead... is he?" my heart sank and I got chocked up.
"he was shot down about 10 minutes ago..." I stared to cry.
"n-no!..... god, damn it!!" I collapsed to the ground crying. Then something caught my attention, a familiar sound, an electrical buzz, galidane.
"DROP TO THE GROUND NOW!!!!" we dropped just as an electrical shockwave rushed over us and obliterated our shelter. I took the brunt of the blast as a slight mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Galidane was standing at the epicenter of the destruction with his wings outstretched. The glass disk under his feet was still glowing and crackling, popping here and there. Then he shot into the sky through the mushroom cloud.
"is everyone ok?" I looked through the rubble.
"I'm good....ow" Zakaya made it.
"i-I'm alive...." Ok, kieku made it as well. I heard whimpering. Mercedes' whimpering.
"its ok, I'm here now ok? Just don't phase back right now...... there's no more shelter..." a strong wind rushed down over us all.
"the others are coming to destroy us all, we must leave..."
"uh, Galidane?"
"yes vampire?"
"how?"
"what do you mean?"
"don't you usually fly in a vacuum bubble?"
"good point...... it's either run, or fight......" my heart sank
"o-oh...." Then Kieku did the unexpected.
"wait, we have the fucking colossal dragon of lightening.... We can stand and fight!" we were all shocked at this.
"wait, wait, WHAT?"
"we can take them out....." even Galidane was shocked.
"listen, the forces are getting nearer and nearer... we must act now..."
"I concur, arm up!"
"with what?"
"I don't know! Fucking anything!"
"we won't have guns... they will"
"so? Grow a fucking pair!" they were starting to annoy me. Then I felt Zakaya's arm on me and I started to calm down.
"please, listen, we can't hurt them because it would only prove their resolve. If we kill them, they will have reason to kill us... ok?" I looked into his eyes and felt oddly safe.
"wait, fuck that! They'll kill us either way! We need to fight!"
"or run..."
"damn it Mercedes! I told you not to phase!"
"what? It's not like it matters..." Veroseta groaned.
"actually, the window of opportunity to run has closed... I regret to inform you that our only option is to fight now..." Galidane gestured towards the Persian army advancing on our Spartan army.
"fuck! God-fucking-damn-arrrg!!!"
"chill Mercedes, we gots a dragon..."
"wait, did you just say 'gots'?"
"yeah... why?"
"I don't-" she just froze wide eyed staring at the fleet of helicopters.
"crap....." Galidane turned his head and I swear he rolled his eyes and fired a beam of electrical plasma and obliterated the helicopters. We were all just staring at the destruction.
"damn......."
