Isabella and Antille

The growls become louder after every breath he takes in to let out another growl. He covers his head with both of his sharp clawed hands. To Isabella, it was obvious that he was struggling. Within the body of the beast, two ..



(Antilles are quarelling. But with these loud growls that he is making, there definitely will be someone around that would hear it. And she was right, that out of her sight, there were voices of many men who are seeking the source of the growling sounds...)



"Before they find him, I will,", she whispers to her self as she lays her hand on her sword.



She then runs through the alleys within the city to find those people who are trying to find Antille. But when she runs out into the open streets, loud voices burst from all directions.



"That's her!!! Sinner Isabella, surround her!"



Many men with armor and crest surrounds her completely, each making sounds of metal of the armor clashing as they do so. Isabella grips on to her sword and stays cautious, observing the faces of the men with armor. She then lays her eyes on the design of their crests. Then in an instant, her eyes widen and tremble with the fear as she realizes the graveness of her sight. Two dragons sharing a sword facing towards the ground in the middle.



"They are not ordinary town guards...", mumbles Isabella.



Then a familiar face comes out of the crowd of armored men. Eriole. Damn him. Still keeping the sword on her waist, Isabella gives him a sharp look.



"Well Isabella, I haven't seen you in a while. How do you do?", says Eriole, in a sarcastic tone of voice.



"Not bad, Eriole, just taking a small vacation right now. So I see that these soldiers have crest of the royal family on their shields. Is his majesty throwing a royal party in such a town far away from his castle?", Isabella tries to be sarcastic back.



Eriole lets out a snicker.



"Don't try to be foolish, Isabella. I hired these royal guards to arrest you and your demented friend. I personally am planning to have a feast, watching your bodies crucified. You two would add some good flavors to my meal tonight."



Isabella, still not letting go of the sword on her waist, relieves herself from her stance. "Why do you hate Antille so much? He is a moral man, I know it. It is just that_"



"It is just that what? That he becomes a Monster that killed millions in Shiba? And you! Even a thousand deaths would not repay for your sins!"



Eriole faces a sector of men and points to the area where Isabella came from, and those men marched quickly through the alley.



"Your friend will be killed right away. Do not be troubled, I have some special arrangements made for you", Eriole grins at Isabella, and as he raises his hand high, the remaining soldiers march toward her.



As Isabella was about to let out Ricquelle from her waist, she heard number of screams of men from the alley. And the life, that Isabella saved and shared her path with, leaped across the sky and crushed the stone paved road as he landed by Isabella.



Without giving Isabella the time to speak to the beast, he leaped to the crowd of soldiers. As he throws them across the buildings, he splashes their blood that spilled from their bodies across the sky. It seemed as if it was an illusion when she saw an army of men in front of her just a moment ago. The men that were not massacred fled away from the area. The only man that remained in front of Isabella was Eriole, the man who is the hirer of both Isabella and the army.



"D...damn you! Sinner! Murderer! ...T...traitor! ...Beast!", Eriole's voice shows trembling within.



Isabella finally takes her sword out of her waist, and walks towards Eriole. Eriole lets out a scream, and flees away. After letting out a short laugh, Isabella runs and quickly catches up to him, and severs his left arm. Eriole lets out a screaming cry, and starts yelling.



"Orson! Where's Orson! I order you to take me back to Shiba!"



Then suddenly, a knight on a horse flies by Isabella and takes Eriole away. And before Isabella can comprehend the situation, the horse vanishes. After a moment of total silence, Isabella lets out a gasp.



"Antille...where's Antille!", she says as she runs towards where the beast marched across the army that used to surround her.



As she walks towards that direction, around her are pieces of what used to be human, and what is now flesh and meat splattered across streets and buildings. And after ten minutes of walking in that direction, she finally finds Antille, in the form of human being, fainting in the middle of the street. Isabella kneels beside him on the paved road.



"Why is he back to human form?", as she asks so to herself, rain started to shower over the two, as if it was trying to wash off the blood of those dead stained on their bodies.
