Chapter3

Off to Trans' Hideout

As I sleep, I suddenly get hit in the face with a pillow. "Urh! Geez! Who did that?" I put the pillow on the floor.

?She did!? Trans points at Fliter.

Fliter quickly puts the other pillow behind her back. ?Eheheheh, um, no I didn?t,?

I let out a tiresome sigh. ?Whatever. What are we doing today??

?We?re on our way to my hideout to get some supplies, but we have to leave Fliter here in Pendrid for now because of all the vampires there,?

?Okay, Trans,?

?What? You two are going to leave me here?? Fliter says furiously.

?Yeah! You would kill every single one of my vampire underlings with all your bragging and nagging. Hahaha, just kidding,?

?Why do you call them ?underlings?, Trans?? I ask.

?Would it be better to say that I?m like a captain and they?re my pirates??

?Well that?s an odd way of saying it. Now it sounds like you?re leading a group of vampire pirates,? I raise an eyebrow. ?Even though I don?t quite remember you, Trans, I think it?s safe to say that the way you are acting now is a lot different than when we were younger,?

?Yeah, you are quite right, Travallian,? he laughs. "Ye sound like my good for nothing father."

?Okay, are you two going to go now? If you stay any longer, I will be going with you guys,? Fliter impatiently says.

Trans and I look at Fliter then at each other and laugh. ?As you say so Fliter. We shall be going now,? we say at the same time.

She frowns at us both then starts pushing us out of the room door. ?Okay, okay. Now out of here you guys! Since you two are gonna leave me here, I might as well enjoy the stuff in this inn and look around more here in Pendrid,? she slams the door on us right when we touch the carpet outside of the room.

?Yeeow! My tail!? Trans yells while pulling his tail that is wedged to the door.

?That must be painful, Trans,? I say, hearing Fliter laughing on the other side of the door.

?Fliter! You brat!? Trans finally pulls his tail free, he steps on my cape and we both trip and fall on the floor. ?Owwww.?

I blow the cape off my face. ?You know that you could have opened the door,?

I hear Fliter laughing in the other side of the door. ?Hahaha, you losers!?

Trans and I both let out a loud sigh.

I follow Trans south over an ocean. As we fly, I look around, seeing only bodies of water in all directions. ?How long is to this hideout of yours, Trans??

?Not long now. Just be a little bit more patient,? he looks down at the ocean then slowly at the sky.

?Trans, I?m just wondering. How did you become a vampire and when did it happen, anyway??

?I?ll tell you at my hideout. We will be there soon,? he points forward. ?I can see the island now.?

When we landed on the island, I look at my emerald staff and suddenly remember something. ?Trans, have you ever seen me do this when we were younger?? I throw my emerald staff into the air; it starts to glow and flicker. When I catch it, it is no longer an emerald staff; it has become an emerald sword.

Trans scratches his head. ?No. I have never seen you do that before. How did you know that you can change your staff to a sword??

?I do not know. I just all of a sudden knew that my emerald staff can change its own shape as well as mine,? I look down at it. ?I can also use it as a weapon whenever I run out of magic now.? I laugh while putting a hand behind my head.

Trans gives me an annoyed look then starts to walk and I follow him. We stop at the edge of a cliff. ?The hideout?s just below this cliff,? Trans points down.

He spreads his wings then flies down the side of the cliff. I swing my emerald sword and slowly disappear from where I was standing. As Trans reaches the entrance of his hideout, I reappear beside him. ?So, this is where your hideout is located. Interesting,? I stare up at the large door.

Trans smacks his forehead. ?Why didn?t you tell me that you can teleport, Travallian?? he shakes his head. ?Never mind. Lets just get the supplies I need then get back to Fliter. I just now realize that I left a lot of gold coins at the inn we were in. Who knows what she?s gonna do with it all if she saw the violet silk pouch that it was all in.? he takes out a sea green colored orb out of one of his pockets. Trans then puts the orb into a hole on the side of one of the large doors. Both doors start to open.

I walk in then look around. ?Interesting place you got here, Trans,? as I look around I notice a few vampire yoshis looking at me, the same vampire that were at the forest.

?Well, I guess we meet again,? a beautiful yoshi girl, that did not appear to be a vampire, says to me. ?So, what was your name again,? she walks toward me with a smile. ?Could you say your full name for me??

?Er, my names is Keshi Travallian HardSlash,? I start to feel uneasy. As she takes a few steps closer to me, I take larger steps away from her.

?Okay! Enough of that Zeo!? Trans Stands between us. ?You?re starting to scare my old friend, Travallian here! And it?s Keshi to you, sis,?

?You are telling her what to call me??

?Yeah. Only I call you Travallian, Trav,? he grins. ?It?s my little thing I have always done before you went missing when we were young..?

I look at Zeo. ?This is your sister, Trans? Now that I think of it, she seems very familiar to me,?

�?This is Keshi? I didn?t know! Wow! He sure does look different or maybe it?s just because he?s in a yoshi form,? she smiles at me. ?Love your new look, Kesh!? she gives me a wink.

Trans prods me then whispers to me. ?You know, she always did like you, even when we were only five to eight. Something in you seem to always make her smile,?

?Sh-she liked me! At that young age?? I whisper back to Trans. I look back at Zeo. ?Um, I guess that I can understand that.?

Trans chuckles. ?Come on. I?ll be needing some help on getting the supplies I need,? he walks through a door.

As I follow Trans, I notice that Zeo was walking beside me, holding my arm with a cheerful smile on her face.

I wonder what I had ever said or done in my forgotten past to make her like me this much. There?re so many things that I have forgotten. I still can?t believe that so many things have happened to me at the young age of six and under. Mega Flare truly messed up my life when he kidnapped me. I thought to myself, trying to make some sense to it all then shook my head.

?Travallian! Here! Catch!? Trans says, standing on a ladder. He then tosses three bottles at me.

I catch one with one hand, another one with my other hand, and the last one with my tail. I look up at him. ?Did you have to do that??

?Hahaha, sorry,? he replies with a chuckle.
