Part 3

Nobody knew anything useful. Rosa felt incredibly frustrated. Why were the people of this town so ignorant? Surely somebody must have been curious about the moogles disappearance. There was nothing else left. If the note about the church didn’t give them a lead, nothing would. Two hours had just about passed. Rosa felt Tog tug at the hem of her trousers.

“Kupo, its time to go to the church.” Rosa nodded, and turning on her heel headed to the church.

They arrived a little late. Carefully Rosa peered around the door. There, again, was a shadowy figure standing towards the back of the church. There was nobody else. Cautiously, Rosa entered the church, Tog just behind her. The figure turned sharply. Rosa realised that she had suddenly stopped. The figure snapped at them.

“Your late!” Angry at this Rosa snapped right back.

“Only a few minutes”

“Promptness is the very essence of life.”

“Quit with the riddles! What is it you wanted to tell us” maybe it was just the shadows, but Rosa felt certain that the figure was giving her a sinister smile. But that was stupid. Whoever it was, they were completely covered by a long, dark cloak.

“Oh, contraire my dear. I do not want to tell you anything. I merely wish  to dispose of you, before you ruin my plans.” Rosa gasped, and drew her sword. Tog gave a squeak of alarm. The mysterious figure seemed to grow in size. It suddenly moved what could be defined as its hand. Rosa rolled to the side, just as a fireball hit the ground where she had been standing. Tog was dancing in the background.

“Tog! What are you doing! We need to attack him, not dance!” Tog finished his dance with a stamping motion. Behind Rosa, the earth shook, damaging the cloaked figure. Rosa smiled slightly.

“Cool move Tog.” She flourished her sword and faced the figure. “Now” she hissed “prepare to meet your end.” She flew at the figure, slashing with her sword. The figure collapsed the point of Rosas sword at its throat. “Now, where are the moogles? Tell us and I’ll make sure your death is quick” The figure gasped slightly, and slumped over. Tog ran over.

“What happened Kupo?”

“He must have died of fright, I didn’t touch him.” just then, another voice rang out behind Rosa.

“He had to die; I can’t allow him to live, when he cannot even dispose of a girl and her pet.” Tog bristled with anger at being called a pet. Rosa spun around. Another figure stood behind her.

“So, you wish to meet your end too?” the figure laughed.

“I think not. There is nothing you can do to harm me! And now, I think it is time that I got rid of you.” The figure moved its hand in a similar motion to the first. Rosa suddenly doubled up. She could hear Tog screaming at her, in a clear panic. The room was spinning. Everything had gone blurry. All she could hear was the laughter of the cloaked figure, and Togs squeaking. Her blood seemed to have frozen. All she could feel was coldness. The room darkened, the cold became more intense. The laughter and Togs voice were dying down. Then there was complete silence. Rosa could hear nothing. There was just silence, and coldness. She could also feel the hard ground beneath her knees, and she realised that there was blood flowing from her knees. Her head still spun. She felt like she had fallen to the ground, incredibly hard, although she could remember sinking slowly to her knees. She certainly hadn’t fallen hard enough to cut herself. She slowly opened her eyes, dreading what she would see.
