"What?" RaXi asked. It sounded like she was ready to beat me over the head for something. I just continued on calmly.
"We have a problem." I answered.
She grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me in to her room. I was about to object telling her that going into a lady's room was not something I would do willingly, but before I could say anything, she started yelling.
"You bet we have a problem!" RaXi started. "I can't get this THING off!!! Triskix....please...I'm begging you...in the name of all your order...help me..."
Maybe it was the way she said it, but I couldn't process it. Order thoughs were running a mile a minute through my head demanding that I run for it and go find Madame to help her get RaXi unstuck. I
"THE DRESS!" RaXi yelled interrupting the swirling through in my head."All you have to do is undo the buttons...you CAN do that??"
"Oh..." I said trying to find a good way to relax this entire situation... "If you want...I can incinerate the entire thing." I laughed.
"The buttons will do...now." RaXi yelled at me again. Women could be such hell some times about clothes...... I undid the buttons, but they had a weird snap or something because I kept unbuttoning and rebuttoning them by accident....When I was finally done, RaXi started yelling again. I was beginning to wonder if she was trying to wake up the house....."Now turn around...you peek and I freeze your eyes shut forever." RaXi said lowering her voice.
I turned around and didn't say anything. RaXi had killed all my braincells with this stunt and my order was on the verge of giving me a nose bleed. Heh Triskix you're hilarious.... the Leader laughed in my hand. Can't even help a lady out without trying to find fifteen ways to protest before actually helping out....
I just don't think this process was in order," I answered. "And you know I need order....."
"Heh Triskix you make fun of yourself without even trying, the Leader answered. Axel would have disliked to see his apprentice so red....
"Don't you dare bring my master into this or I will incinerate you in a heart beat." I answered.
"Baring you teeth again? Are you trying to make yourself fade away?" the Leader asked.
"No I am simply telling you that bringing back the past at this point in time only throws us both into disorder..." I answered.
When it sounded like RaXi had finished, I turned around and grabbed a chair. The Leader was still laughing in my head, but I tuned it out.
"Now can I talk?" I asked somewhat sarcastically.
"You may." RaXi answered. I sighed.
"About Edgar...he knows who I am..."
"How can that be...unless..." RaXi started.
"News has already began to travel about the Queen..." I continued. "And also...he's somewhat asked for our help in killing the Madame and her cats. Something about money...but the way he said it...was as though he was trying to blackmail me."
No way...if he tries anything to hurt those cute little kittens...I'll..." RaXi started. Suddenly I felt a presence listening in. I looked around keeping my voice level until I found the pipe that someone was using to listen in on our conversation. I had to be very careful with my words.
"Yeah...me too." I said calmly wondering whether I should shoot fire down the pipe an incinerate them now or later. "So here's what I propose. We play along...then first chance we get...ship him back wherever he came from."
"Yeah. I agree" RaXi answered.
"Either way...we should get some rest while it's offered to us. Good night RaXi." I said calmly heading for the door. I couldn’t risk letting RaXi know about what I was feeling.
"Good night Triskix." RaXi answered.
I walked down the hall and to my bedroom. I lay down in bed with my clothes still on. It was exhausting running around like this, and there was the whole Edger issue to deal with. He already knew that I was against him….I bet he had heard that much of our talk before I had realized someone was listening in. At least I had made for time and could act as if I was going along with the fake plan until I could get another one ready. I sighed and time seemed to pass in a flash.
I sat up in bed. I had fallen asleep in my clothes which made me sore. My entire body ached for some reason. I got to my feet and felt dizzy. My head was pounding and cursing in gibberish. I could tell the Leader was trying to yell something, but my mind was clouded and blocked it. I looked in the mirror and my eyes were red and glaring back at me. Someone was banging on the door, and I walked over and opened it.
“What,” I asked harshly.
RaXi was looking at me kind of shocked.
“Triskix um…..well Madame wanted us to go to breakfast in ten minutes....... you don’t look too good…..” RaXi said staring at me.
“I don’t feel good. Go away,” I answered closing the door and laying back down in bed. I put my pillow over my head and closed my eyes.
What I knew to be hours but they felt like minutes later, I heard a knock on my door.
“Go away,” I yelled through a pillow I had my face planted in.
It sounded liked someone opened the door anyways, but I didn’t look up. Someone grabbed my shoulder and lifted me up. I sat straight up and glared at whoever was trying to move me. Suddenly my eyes caught Verex and Minx. I glared was about to shoot of a fireball when I felt a pain in my side.
“How the hell did you get in here,” I asked.
“Heheheh time for more sleep Triskix,” Minx smiled, “It’s the only way you’ll get better heheheehheheeh. And it will keep you from messing up our plans here heheheeh so nice don’t you think? Heheheheheheheheeh”
I flinched away, but Verex seemed to be holding me down. I was ready to incinerate this man, but then I remembered he was fire too and was canceling out my attacks. I tried to kick him off, but being ill was holding me back a lot. I tried to get away, but I was too weak at the moment. Verex was holding me down…..
“RAXI! MADAME! DAMIT! CATS! SOMEONE! GAh….” I yelled as Minx’s hand went around my throat.
Minx put a cloth to my mouth and I felt all my muscles relax. I couldn’t do a think about it. The pounding in my chest was fading away and I relaxed completely. Things began to get fuzzy and soon faded away completely…………the last thing I heard was a roar of anger from the Leader in my head……..
