Chapter 3
The next day we decided to go take another look at the place we had fought the demons yesterday. We searched and searched but couldn't find any clues as to who had given me the seizure. Even the remains of the two demons were gone.
I wanted to scream with frustration, "What the hell!!! Where IS everything!?!?"
"Calm DOWN, RyuHi!" Montaro glared at me and forced me to sit on a log. "It doesn't matter if we can't find anything here! It's bound to come back! Remember when it said that we would die? Well it's got to come back to kill us!"
"Good point..." I sighed. "This is frustrating."
"I know. Just...breathe."
At that moment I saw a glimer over near the water. I shot off the log and ran over to where I had seen it. Burried in the grass was an arm. It was metal, but it was colored and looked exactly like a human arm. I flipped it over in my hands. It was from a cyborg. It looked like the ones on the thing that had talked to us yesterday.
"...It...was a...cyborg...."
"What?" Montaro ran over to where I was crouched in the grass. "What the...is that...an...ARM?"
"Yeah...it's from that thing yesterday. Look at this mark."
"Hmm... yeah... it's like a swirl, with an "x" through it."
"So what ever sent that...is in like...some sort of company?"
"I suppose so...."
"But I've never seen this mark before. I have no idea what company it's from. Do you?"
"I hate to break it to you, but I've been basicly asleep for the past thousand years. I have no clue what's what these days."
"Ah, yeah. I forgot how I picked you up, you little hobo," I grinned and he glared at me.
"Either way, we've gotta figure this out. Would anyone in the village know?"
"Oh yeah, like I'm going to into a village of people who tried to kill me!"
"But they don't know me. I'll go," he grabbed the arm from me and started to stalk off. I ran to catch up with him.
"Oh no you don't! Not yet!" I yelled. "You can't just sashe into a year 3000 city carring THESE," I motioned pointedly to his belt, which held his two guns and his bullets.
"Oh, right...the world is so backwards these days."
"Gimme," I said, pulling the guns off and waiting for him to take of the rest of the belt.
"Please don't shoot yourself, I don't want to have to explain it to the authorities."
"You jerk, just because they're outlawed, doesn't mean that I don't know how to use them," I growled, pointing one at him. "Don't make me show you."
He raised an eyebrow, "Calm down Goldie Locks," he smirked, lightly tugging on one of my curly blonde strands of hair.
"Knock it off," I said, slapping his hand away.
"Okay, can I leave now?"
"I suppose... please don't kill anyone."
He rolled his eyes and headed off twords the village.
*****************************
I waited eagerly for Montaro to return. I wanted to know who had it out for me. Hours passed and he still hadn't came back. Finally he walked into the clearing. I jumped up and ran over to him.
"Did you find anything out?" I practically screamed.
"Nope."
"WHAT!"
"Calm yourself!" he cringed, "I was joking, stop screaming!" he said as I glared at him.
"Well?" I growled.
"It's some company named Xorti Co. They make robots and stuff," he said, brandishing the arm. "I don't know why you don't get along with the villagers, they were more than happy to help me with a little prodding. I'm almost proud to say I didn't have to kill anyone," he grinned.
"Okay, enough, I don't want to know," I grimaced. "So where is this company?"
"In about 1500 different places through out the world. I figure we've got some traveling to do."
"We?"
"Well yes, these people want to kill me too, we can work faster if we do it together. Don't worry Princess, I ain't gonna hurt you."
"Don't call me that," I snapped.
A smile teased his lips, "When are we off?"
"There is no we," I glared and turned to fill my small backpack with nessesities.
"Oh yeah there is. You freed me and I'm sorry to say you're stuck with me."
"Don't you have someone else to annoy?"
"Considering the fact that I've been in a glacier for 1000 years, no."
I cringed slightly, "Fine. You can come with me."
"Good," he said, sounding like I never really had a choice at all.
