Chapter 14: Will you tell me?

FERALI's POV

I felt my hand fall to my side then began stinging in pain. I look down at to only see that the long cut I had on it from earlier, but it looked as if it was healing. I took a deep breath, and then a sigh trying to remember what had happened.

I rolled my eyes back up to see that it was a roof, I notice that my head was swaying back and forward, I began to notice that my back was propped up against something. I looked around me to see that I was in some sort of transportation vehicle, I checked my surrounding a bit more to see that the trees were below me and that I was in a cage flying.

I began to grunt as I attempted to stand, but the pain inside my chest wasn't letting me. That and the fact there was no room inside the cage. It was quite small cage, there was a monitor on the top of the roof that was blank, and it began to flicker.

A face appeared on the monitor, it was the woman who had assaulted me. She was smiling when she appeared, She hand her long hair tied into a pony-tail. I notice that the back ground on the monitor was moving, and that there were trees behind her.

"Ugh, where am I?" I said as one big grunt.

"You have multiple broken and fractured ribs, so I wouldn't move around as much if I were you." She said with the same wicked smile.

"Well I guess that explain that horrible pain I feel, but that doesn't answer my question." I said dully.

"Persistent guy aren't you. Hehe, anyway you're in a healing cage hovering twenty feet off the ground I'm just below you."

"Is there any way I could fall on top you and end my problems?" I said in a low tone.

"Hahaha funny aren't we, but unfortunately for you I'm the least of your problems."

"What you mean by that?"

"Well I'm sure you want to know why you're in that body. I felt that other being inside you, and I'm sure he must have told you something?"

"No, not really all it told me was not to fight you...ugh damn the one time didn't listen..." That's when I remember the voice, it was gone or so I hoped. I stared down at my feet, and then reached up and began rubbing the top of my snout to bring myself some sort of comfort.

I took a deep breath then looked back to the monitor, I saw the girl now looking off into another direction. I guess she must be walking, because I see her head bouncing up and down.

I need to get more information out of her. She seem to know me somehow, hopefully she could answer some of my questions.

"I do know you, you and I are a lot closer than you think. Though it's not my place to tell you, your worst nightmare will be the one to tell you." She said sliding down a small hill.

"How did you...oh yeah psychic..." I said remembering what she was. "Now I know how Sasha feels."

"You know I could easy drop you from there, right?" She said sounding very annoyed.

"Whatever...tell me, what the hell kind of suit that is you're wearing. Because no Human should be that strong nor fast, and that green light that lead to my arm looking the way it do now." I said looking down at my arm.

"All in due time, my prize all in due time." She said with a giggle.

I ignored her and continued to stare at my arm. I notice that the cut was starting to close up at a very slow rate. 'Better than nothing I guess.' I thought to myself as I then look into the sky. Closing my eyes to ignore the pain and try to recall the past.

Maybe if I could remember a better time, it'll take my mind off the pain. Thinking back to when Krystal, Sasha, and I were training for that week. How we'd each try to figure each other out, but only to find that the weakest was really hard to exploit once in actual combat.

Sasha weakness to fighting was really hard to use on her. She must have dealt with a lot of fighting types before. She knew how to keep her distances and keep moving while also attacking to not let the opponent breathe. When she really tried she was really a great friend for me to get to know while I was still with them.

A tear ran down my face, just of the thought of me not being able to see them again was beginning to hurt more than the pain in my chest.

Then my mind began to think about Krystal and the fact that I'll most likely miss seeing her and that snobby attitude of hers. Even if she was the one winning the fights she would act like she on the losing end when it came to our training. The way she'll coach us would make losing a fight to her a memorable one, but an experience gaining one.

"If you keep training like you two are, you can only keep getting better." Is what she'll constantly say after all our training was done, and if Sasha may become fed up with trying to Defeat her. Over time Krystal would tell us a little bit of her past and how she became the way she is.

Her past was filled with one disappointment after another. The way she explain it wasn't so it'll be some sappy story for us to fill sorry for her. It was so that we could understand her more so that anything that we face in the future we would operate better as a team.

One of the stories that she told to us one day stuck to me more than anything I've heard since I awaken in this form. And that was when she younger and wanted to seek help from her parents and as usual they wouldn't pay her any mind. At that point she was a young child and needed guidance from her parents, even though she was in her crippled condition, they would just tell her to go talk to one of her nannies.

Whenever she'd go out and talk to anyone they would ignore her, or be to scare to touch her because of her condition, and from her family basically owning the city. Living a life like that would drive anyone insane, but she just channeled her loneliness into anger.

As she became older she was acting like any other spoiled child and lash out at anything that moved. Even though she knew it was wrong of her to do so and realized how she was making others feel, she became more and more secluded. At one point she closed herself off into a cave for several days, and waited for death to take her.

No one came to her aid nor even made an attempt to look for her. Though it was fine with her, nobody wanted to know her or understand what she was going through. Just like a broken toy from the past, not even a second glance just tossed to the side and forgotten. I'm sure that's what she must have felt like when she was down there all that time.

She had heard that she was going to be replaced by some adopted child to take her place as CEO of the company and as usual brush her off to the side. She heard this information from her parents one day, while they were holding a private meeting inside their home. Once she heard that she immediately fled to the cave.

Then when all seemed lost inside the cave....

"A miracle doctor came and saved her life...ugh like I haven't heard that story a million times before." The woman said reading my mind.

I opened my eyes then looked at the screen to see that she was continuing her walk without looking at the screen. "I wonder if she involuntarily read my mind." I mumble to myself thinking out loud.

"Hey Blondie!" I yelled trying to annoy her.

"What is it fat-ass?" She said back not even looking at the monitor.

I began to sniff the air really loudly so she could hear me.

"Hmmm smells like someone's mad...tell me sweetheart can you read mind without even trying?"

She stopped then looked to the monitor. "First off don't call me sweetheart or I'll kill you before we even get to the lake, and secondly my name is Rebecca..." Then mumble something to herself that I couldn't make out.

"Ok Rebecca you didn't answer my question." I said starting to become annoyed myself.

"Not that it really matters to you, seeing how these could be your final days on this planet sure I could tell you, but you'll have to answer something for me first." She said as she started walking again.

I took finger and placed it on my chest and winced from the pain, dropping my arm back to my side I look to the monitor and said, "Hmm...I'd hate to die with secrets if I have any; but for the sake of me dying of boredom shoot." She stopped again then looks back up at the monitor and asked, "So do you love her?"

"Nah I don't think so, I mean she's a good friend and all but I don't think me and her could kick it off or anything like that." I said adding a goofy smile at the end.

"I swear I'm going to kill you if it's the last thing I do. I'm not talking about the Absol you moron! You know who I'm talking about!" She said angrily with a large vein appearing above her head.

I began to blush lightly and looked off to the side of the cage not really wanting to answer her question.

"I'm sure you've read my mind so there no real point in me answering that. Besides it really doesn't matter if I'm going to die."

"Which is exactly why you should answer me, that or I could see what else I could break so you could talk." She said trying to sound as threating as possible.

Though threats like that aren't going to work, I'll humor her and answer the stupid question.

"Yeah I do...not sure why though maybe it was just one of those things that were meant to happen, just felt normal ya know? I think she was the one who got to me first..." I said all that without thinking or looking in her general direction. "Ya know it actually feels good to get things like is off my chest, though it won't relieve any pain from it." I said chuckling to myself.

I look back over to the monitor to see her just staring at me as if she wanted to say something, but it looked as if something was holding her back. She looks back down toward the trail and continued walking; she had two long pieces of her golden hair braided hanging in front of her face.

She took them and wrapped them behind her ears on each side. The rest of her hair was braided as well which made her look very distinct amongst most people you'll see around here.

After about an hour of walking and silence, Rebecca made a sudden gasp. I look to the monitor to see what was wrong, but all I could see was the shiniest forehead in the world. I wanted to know what was going on and if it could be dangerous.

"Hey miss forehead! What's going on?"

"Nothing of your concern, so be quiet." She said annoyed. "Ok Ok I'm sorry, could you please tell me what's going on?"

She took a deep breath and then sighed when I said that, she look back up to the camera saying, "Ugh, there's my favorite small town so peaceful and quiet." She began skipping towards the town with a large grin on her face. "I just love spending time here!"

"Why would you like to go to a place like that, I thought you would like science labs and long walks on the beach." I said teasing her. I started feeling like a jerk, but that was quickly dismissed when the pain in my chest returned. It wasn't as bad as it was before but it was still there. The cut on my arm was almost gone, there was no pain to it anymore.

"Ya know sometimes it hard being a psychic..." She said with a disappointing look on her face.

"Oh yeah I'm sure it must be so hard being able to read people minds freely and know what they're about to say even before they say it." I responded mocking her.

"You wouldn't understand...anyway we're at Mohogany Town. I'm going to rest up for a bit and continue later. I suggest you get some rest as well; you're going to need all the strength you can get. By tomorrow morning we'll be at The Lake of Rage, so take some time and reflect on your life. It may be your last chance." The last thing she said before the screen flicker then went dark.

I notice that the cage stopped moving and I was just beyond where the town was. The trees did a great job of hiding it well from up here. Rebecca was right about one thing, the town did look peaceful and if these were my final hours that'll be just fine with me. Seeing the town made me think about the past week, that I spent with the two I cherished most in this world.

How we would just spend mornings training, afternoons learning, and evenings just relaxing. I wish those times would have lasted...I need to stop thinking like it's the end. Krystal said she'd kill me if I surrender to anyone and dammit I won't surrender to my feeling nor this situation I'm in. Even if it destroys me I need to find out my past and let her know everything is going to be alright.

Now I just need to focus on what's to come and how to deal with it. If only she left me with a better clue as to what's going on.

Wait where's my annoying other half? Now that I think about it I haven't heard it's annoying voice all day.

I began to think up questions to ask myself normally that'll get it to come out and pester me, but nothing. Now this was the last thing I would ever worry about, but since I was alone I could really use the company. "Hey are you there?" I asked.

Nothing, not even a snicker of a laugh.

This must be bad if even he's not coming out. Wait she's a Psychic, 'I wonder if she had anything do to with him not being here?' I started getting a headache from all the thinking I was doing.

With a deep breath I began to relax, I started thinking of what could have happened. She being a psychic is another whole danger in itself. Back when Krystal and I first fought her she was no problem before, but I mean that suit is overkill. Even with Krystal at her best, hits were nowhere near as hard as those blows.

I wondered if she may have had anything to do with the Voice in my disappearing. I mean she's a psychic and she could have been mentally attacking me when I was so busy focus on the pain. Then again she could have done it when I had passed out.

"Dammit!" I yelled as the headache returned.

I took another deep breath noticing that the pain in my chest was no longer there.

'Hmph guess the cage works better than I thought. Atleast I can concentrate on the task at hand now, though I shouldn't take to escape.' I then begin to think what type of scenario's that'll happen if I to do different things.

Then first thing I thought of what'll happen if I tried to escape and most likely that'll end for the worst. If I was to somehow get out of this cage and try to escape I'm more than sure she'll be able to find me again. And then I won't be getting off so easily and she'll most likely cut off my means of trying to escape. I look down at my legs then gulped loudly.

"I don't think I'm that desperate yet..." I said to myself with a giggle.

A second scenario came into my head. It was what'll happen if I were to distract her long enough until Krystal were to arrive. Most likely the same thing will happen to her, which happened to me. I know Krystal is strong, but not that strong or fast. Plus the abilities that she's able to summon would give her an edge in fighting Krystal.

Whatever happens to me I must never let it come to that. I don't think I could live with myself if she or Sasha were to get hurt. I felt my heart racing as the thought of them getting hurt passed through my mind. And the thought of me not being able to do anything about it was the worst of it.

Shaking the terrible thoughts out of my head my eyes became very heavy. The sun began to set as I began to nod off to sleep. Slapping myself in the face I instantly woke up smiling at the optimistic thought of everything turning out for the best.

Though that it couldn't be true, I thought to myself as I reached over to my right hand across and pinched myself on the left shoulder. With that shook the optimism out of me and brought me back to reality. With a deep sigh I began thinking of a plan that just might work.

I'll need my other half to assist me, but with him out right now it'll be no telling if/when it'll come back. Then again it really doesn't like me to begin with so it doesn't have a true reason to help me out; not for any of my causes anyway. It constantly refer to Krystal as a monster and Sasha as a weakling so if anything it'll try to betray them.

I couldn't allow that to happen by any means, but I must keep all options available especially if they're following me. If there were only a way I could let them know to not follow me....

That's when it hit me like a punch from Krystal...Ice beam! I stuck my muzzle between the bars and gathered the water at the back of my throat. The temperature of the water began to drop rapidly. Once it was at a freezing point I began to spit outside of the cage. The blast was strong enough to pierce through the trees and hopefully onto the ground. As I tried to make out an arrow that pointed into the opposite direction, but it most likely made a mess on the ground.

All I could do hope that she gets the message...

"Ugh what the hell is up with all the noise out here?" The voice inside my head said returning.

"What the hell... where have you been?" I asked concerned.

"Knocked out asleep, could you tell me why you're making so much noise?"

"Well if you were paying attention to the class you would know?"

"Hey, asshole just tell me..."

"It's complicated, but as of right now if you want to live I'm going to need you to listen to me." I said to it.

"Oh boy sounds like fun...Will you just tell me!"
