CHAPTER 2
PAGE 1
Dear Diary,
The trip through that gate wasn't as unpleasant as I thought, but that's not to say I liked it! I felt like I was continuously being tossed around and around and around like a ball in this tube of colours and light and... well, you get the idea :D So, after the ruckus in there, I fell through another portal and basically faceplanted into the dirt and grass, getting mud and stuff all over my skirt and shirt, and even some on my cloak. That wasn't a favourable landing...
I turned around to look at my surroundings - a giant, green jungle! It was full of wonderfully coloured plants and flowers and wildlife, it was a sight we would never see in my world! We had forests full of Grimm (beasts pretty much made of everything evil!), but that was about it. Soon enough, I heard a kind of glassy ringing and turned to see Kanda fall through the air, landing much, much more gracefully than yours truly...
Aaaand as expected, he scolded me for rushing in, telling me it was dangerous and all. Seriously, what is the guy's problem with a girl having some fun? When my eyes drifted to his knee, he had barely anything on him, apart from a few specks on his knee, while I had muck aaaaall down my front. Are you serious? was my exact train of thought at the time, and I swear he was laughing inside. As a retort, I lifted my chin up defiantly and spoke.
"I'm not a child and can handle myself perfectly fine," I replied, my tone rather irritated. Yup, this guy is the same as Weiss.
Next thing I know, he goes off telling me 'not to come crying to him when I don't listen'. My reply? An irritated, "Hmph!" to end the conversation :) I'm not sure that I won though...
A minute or two after, a snorting noise came from the gate, and I turned around to see Mr. Layton pass through with Kanda's black horse! My question was where the cart went, but that was explained in a moment when Kanda argued over the fact that Mr. Layton didn't need to bring the horse and everything and proceeded to unsummon - or it seemed more like 'extracting' - the horse. To get my revenge, I mischievously said, "Meany," as loud as possible without it being overly obvious I had said it. Kanda definitely heard it, but didn't seem to show any reaction. I've definitely pushed him to the edge!
Mr. Layton then came over to me and began to whisper, "That man from before will be following soon," he told me, a reassuring hand on my shoulder, "Try not to be too hostile towards him, okay?"
"Alright!" I replied, a little grin on my face. Yet another glassy rippling noise sounded behind us and when we turned, it was that guy from before! As soon as Kanda had gone up to the man, he placed the tip of his black sword the guy's throat and he began pleading Kanda not to kill him! Mr. Layton commanded Kanda to stand down and give him a chance to talk, then Kanda interrogated him and I decided to copy him and... yeah, you get the idea.
This man's name turned out to be Quill, and he was wanted because of trying to avenge the things that the Empire took away from him. It seemed pretty plausible to me! Mr. Layton then suggested we find a safe place to question Quill, and as we turned away, I think I heard Kanda threatening Quill, but I'm really not sure. Mr. Layton had discovered a path, and Kanda commanded that the following order be him, me and then Mr. Layton and Quill at the back. He paid special attention to me, so I just tried to look innocent, haha!
So we began to travel through the dense jungle (I think I heard Quill complain about being hungry a few times. He'd really change in the span of about half an hour!) for an hour or so before Kanda turned around and shushed us! So I began to say I couldn't hear anything, but that was before an enormous roar was heard nearby! So off we ran, Kanda taking off faster than I'd seen him before, but I passed him easily still, and I turned to see Mr. Layton and Quill running as fast as they could. I felt really bad that I had like, no strength. I dashed off past Kanda and through the bushes, deliberately leaving a leaf in the way to smack him.
However, when I hit the clearing, I didn't stop moving. My shoes slipped along on the slippery mud, and I had to fight to keep my balance. I managed to not faceplant this time, and I turned around, looking at the area. A plan was forming in my head. Kanda burst out of the bushes soon enough and asked what I was doing. Of course, I didn't reply until Mr. Layton and Quill arrived as well. I looked to our band of misfits.
"I have a plan!" I told them, and I swear I heard Kanda say 'This isn't going to end well', but I acted as if I didn't hear it, "Mr. Layton, would you be able to bury some of those explosive hats under the mud here? At the edges I think it's pretty deep," I told him, pointing to the watery-looking banks. I then looked to Kanda, "Kanda, you and I will act as decoys for whatever that thing is using our speed," the loathing of being ordered around by me was clearly seen in the man's eyes. Lastly, I looked to Quill, "And Quill, you can... Um... You can be here for moral support, you know?" and I flashed him a nervous smile.
