Chapter Eight

Yumi was trembling, trying to put on a strong face. I had no clue who these three were. If they scared Mew that much and caused Yumi to show fear, they couldn’t be good a good thing to cross paths with. They seemed terrifying, and I hadn’t even laid eyes on these three. We were worn out from our small fight. The new threat appeared to be an overwhelming challenge even if we were at optimum strength. I could see why they were so upset.

“Master… I need you to leave with everyone here. I need you to go,” Mecci said as she turned towards me. Her lip trembling, her eyes moist. She reached her hand up and cupped the side of my face. “Please go, and I will do my duty.”

“Mecci… What do you mean, your duty?” I asked.

“To protect my Master, of course,” she said. Then she simply turned and started to walk away towards the direction that Mew came from. I went after her and grabbed her shoulder to keep her from going, she shrugged me off. “Master, go now before it's too late. Please, just go.”

“Why would you die for a man like that? Are you insane, Mecci?”

Mecci turned towards Mew to answer her question. With tears streaming down her face and her fists shaking at her sides. Her bottom lip that she currently chewed on was released to reveal a snarl of fury. “He is my Master, and he is my creator. I exist for him. I also… I love him.” She wiped her face and recomposed herself to continue. “This world needs him. Our world needs him more than it has ever needed anyone before. He has been, and he still is- the only one that can save it.” After that, she walked away towards death.

“Mew, I need you to help these people get to safety, take them and run,” Yumi said.

“Lady Yumi, you can guide them. You don’t need me to do it.”

“No, Mew, I can’t. This is what I need you to do.”

“Lady Yumi, I can’t just…”

“You can, and you will. This is my wish. Guide the rest of the guild members to safety, quickly now. Take everyone, along with Rezner, to safety.”

“I…”

“NOW!”

Mew came over, grabbed my hand, and started pulling me away with the crowd as we hustled away, leaving Mecci and Yumi behind. I looked back towards the two women as they exited out the front gate. Everyone was moving fast towards the back of the manor. A smaller door came into view that apparently exited out the back way and into the woods. We reclaimed the estate for it to only come to this. This was a bad ending.

We were in the forest a little way when I saw everyone still running in front of me. It’s not that I literally saw them with my eyes. I saw who they were, and I felt what they were. We continued into that forest when I felt shame. It wasn’t my shame; I had no shame left.
