Chapter 6: Part 1

As his foot slammed against the cold forest floor, he thought of what he saw. The Ice wolf turned into a black-gold liquid of which he never saw. He continued to run across the cold floor and remembered when the ice wolf died. When this happened, he could remember, deep, deep, deep, in the back of his head, he heard a voice whisper, “I'm sorry...”

Why did it say that? Why “I'm sorry” ? Was he going mad? Did he have feelings for that Ice wolf? “No...” said another voice. “You were just sorry you didn't kill him faster...” He tried to ignore the voices, but they were getting louder. “You were sorry you didn't come home that night...” No. He was not, this was not why he was sorry. It was another reason.... Another- “You were sorry about killing those men.” No! He was not! Those men killed his parents! He was not going to stand for this. Even if he was going mad. “You are just a worthless coward! You only killed five! One is still out there!” He knew this, but it was not his fault, the man was just lucky.

“You let him leave!”
No...
“You let your parents die!”
No....
“You are not Jendei! You are just a fool!”
Jendei fell over.
“NO!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. He fell over face first in the snow and blacked out.

“Jendei?” a voice said. “Jendei?” it said again. He opened his eyes a little, he felt warm air. Light poured into his eyes like water over a waterfall. He blinked a couple of times and squinted. Blurry figures sat before him, he held his hand to his head. It hurt like hell. He felt upward more, there was a bandage. He felt over the middle of the bandage and felt a blood curdling pain. He writhed at the feeling of it. One of the blurry figures grabbed his hand, and held it away from his head. The hand was cold, like ice, but at the same time made him feel warmth. He opened his eyes wider to see who the figure was, but his eyes refused.

“You need some sleep...” said the figure. It's voice was a little distorted. He must have hit something, hard. “Jendei... Are you still with me? Hello?” The figure waved it's hand in front of Jendei's eyes. Jendei did not respond, but only stare into space. “Hmm...” mumbled the figure. “I should get you some ice...” The figure stood up and walked away. He heard walking, then a boom. It sounded like a explosion, but counting on his ears being all fuzzy-like, it must have been softer. Then he heard running. The lamp over on the side of him went out. It was pitch black except for the light from the other room.

“Hey!” yelled a voice. “Yes?” said a voice. His hearing was starting to clear up, but his vision was still dead. “What do you have up there?” said the other voice. Jendei heard walking. “Nothing...” Said the second voice, which he could tell was a lady's voice. “Nothing huh?” He heard walking. A figure ran in and jumped to the floor somewhere. He heard scurrying on the floor and then a whisper in his right ear.

“Jendei...” Whispered the voice. It was Siemo. “There are two men down there looking for you...” He heard the footsteps going upstairs. Siemo jerked at the sound of it. “Dammit...” she said sharply. The footsteps ran into the room and turned on the lamp. Siemo grabbed her sword and swung, but missed. “Hello girly...” snarled one and Jendei heard a loud punch. Siemo yelped and fell to the floor. He saw the figures, clearly now. They were both wearing black robes. The one who seemed to have punched Siemo had a volcano on his robe. The other one had a lightning bolt. The lightning bolt one leaned in and whispered, “Well well well... Who do we have here?” The figure poked Jendei in the forehead, making Jendei jerk violently at the pain. “Heheheh...” said the figure coolly. He looked at Siemo. “Take the girl... And get your minions to take Jendei to the castle...”

Two more robed figure walked in and began to lift him, causing him violent pain in the process. “Be careful, we don't want him dead Lampo...” said the tall figure. Lampo turned around and quickly said “Oh will you hush? I'm just having a little fun, is all...” He leaned over to Jendei, who was writhing in pain.

“Buh-Bye now!” He said coldly to Jendei. Then, he pressed directly on his forehead, and Jendei screamed, his scream echoed loudly throughout the whole place. He then went back to blurry vision and vivid sounds, he saw Lampo say something to the tall figure and nod.

Lampo walked over, and held his hand over Jendei's face. Sparks flew from it.

Jendei blacked out once more.
