Chapter Ten
"Okay, I've got the horses!" Luna yelled.
"Thanks Luna!" I yelled back.
"*sigh* I can't believe the land of the giants is so far. We'll be gone for months." Tyler complained while crossing his arms.
"It has to be done my friend." Liam said in a joking manner.
"Oh shut up pinkie."
I laughed at the two. It's kind of unbelievable that these two are best buds. They have totally different personalities. I guess the saying opposites attract are true?
"Rada! Rada!"
I turned around at a child like voice calling my name and saw the kind little girl in town running to me.
"Oh, Mary? What's up?" I asked kneeling down to her height.
I smiled at her but it immediately went away when I saw the panicked look in her eyes.
"The other kids and I over heard a group! They're looking for a girl that's just like you!!" She exclaimed.
"That has to be the Seven Deadly Sins. They're already searching for us and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet." Peter stated rolling up a map he was reading.
"Rada? Are you in trouble?" Mary asked.
I sighed and nodded slowly.
"Yes, I am. I'm sorry Mary, but thanks to you we won't get caught."
I smiled at her but she frowned.
"You're leaving? Again? Please don't go! The last time you left, you were gone for weeks!"
Tears started to form in Mary's eyes as she wrapped her small arms around my neck. I was a bit shocked at this action until I relaxed and hugged her back.
"Mary, I have to go. I'm sorry, but the things I need to do are very important. I just need to get some things and I'll be back, okay?"
".......okay..."
"Good girl."
I ruffled her hair before mounting my horse. We were about to leave when all of a sudden I heard Mary yell.
"I love you Rada!"
My eyes widened as I turned around. Mary stood there with a small smile on her face. Her long, messy red hair cascaded around her shoulders covering the white straps of her dress. She looked at me with her round grey eyes waiting for a reply.
That's when I gasped as I saw my 10 year old self in her.
My long messy brown hair, my big round green eyes. My tattered dress from the fire and blood. The frown and tears that were visible on my face as I held the belongings of my deceased parents.
"I love you mommy!"
My mouth hung open as my younger self disappeared and was put back to Mary. My mouth immediately closed and I smiled.
"I love you to Mary."
We smiled at each other one last time before utter chaos went loose.
"Hey! You on the horse with the green eyes! Don't move! And girl with the red hair! Don't move either!"
I looked further into the crowd and saw Al, the Sin of Lies running to us.
"Shit!" Tyler yelled.
My eyes widened. Not at the fact that Al called me out, but the fact that she called Mary out as well. I quickly jumped off my horse and grabbed Mary. I mounted her on the horse and got on as well.
"Rada! What are you doing?!" Mary yelled.
"Keeping you safe!" I replied.
I grabbed the reins on the horse that were on both of Mary's sides and lifted my head.
"All of the Deadly Kids! Ride!" I yelled and snapped the reins.
The horse took off down the cobble path at top speed. Mary held onto the horses mane as we rode, afraid that she would fall.
That's when Liam's horse came up to mine and Liam appeared.
"Why did you bring Mary?!" He asked.
"I couldn't just leave her to get interrogated by the Seven Deadly Sins! She's like a daughter to me!"
Liam's eyes widened at what I said. I've also realized what I said and stared down at Mary.
She was like a daughter to me.....NO. What am I saying?! I'm only 15!!
*sigh*
What's wrong with me?
_________________________________________
"Excuse me miss. Do you happen to know any kids that have brown hair and green eyes."
"Oh yes! I do! She lives down that street with five other people"
"Thank you. Have a nice day."
"You too."
I smiled at the woman and turned to my group.
We've been asking lots and lots of people about the green eyed girl. But this was the first lead we've gotten. I adjusted my armor and the dress I was wearing under it as I walked.
"The woman told me that she lives over here." I said looking to my left.
"Finally!! We've been searching for ages!" Al exclaimed.
The group chuckled at her before a little girl with red hair ran past us and down that same street.
"Mary! Stop!"
"It's not worth the risk!!"
Two other kids yelled at her. But the girl known as Mary didn't stop running. It's like she was in danger or something.
"Come on guys, I don't want that little girl getting hurt." I said and ran after her.
"Julianne! Wait!" I heard Meliodas yell.
But you know, me being my stubborn self I didn't listen. I just kept running after the girl.
She kept on making quick turns seeming like she was trying to get rid of me but I still kept my pace up to stay a few feet behind her. That's when I stopped. My eyes widened as I stared at a female on the other side of the rode.
She had long brown hair and bright green eyes. I think this is the girl we've been looking for. Next to her was a boy, maybe 6 feet tall, pink hair, and brown eyes. He looked like he was having a very irritating argument with the other boy next to him. He had white hair and reddish brown eyes.
"That has to be them..." I mumbled.
"Julianne?!"
"WHAT?!"
I jumped once someone called my name. Behind me was Meliodas, Abby, Al, Lizzy, King, Arthur and Gil. I put my hand over my heart before inhaling deeply.
"Oh gosh....you guys scared me... But nows not the time look."
I pointed back towards the girls as the group huddled around me.
We stayed in our little group huddle as the brown haired girl and red haired girl talked.
I sighed loudly realizing what the others said was true. The brown haired girl did look a lot like me. Except her eyes were green instead of brown. I wonder why--
"Hey! You on the horse with the green eyes! Don't move! And girl with the red hair! Don't move either!"
I jumped at Al's loud voice. I saw her running down the cobble path with a pissed off look on her face.
"Oh no...." I mumbled.
"Al! No!" Arthur yelled before running after her.
"Damnit!" Abby yelled and started to run with Gil by her side.
"Looks like another adventure!" Lizzy yelled before running after Abby.
"Lizzy! Wait for me!" King yelled.
"Wait guys! What about a plan?!" I yelled.
But no one listened. They already ran off after the kids. My shoulders slumped as I closed my eyes and sat back down on the cobble path. I held my head before pushing some of my hair out of my face.
"Are you okay Julie?"
My eyes slowly opened up once again and I saw Meliodas squatting in front of me. He had a concerned look on his face as he tilted his head. It was so cute and I couldn't help smiling, he's still as adorable as ever.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just......how are we going to catch the kids now?"
"We ride Hawks mom of course. Another adventure for our honeymoon, what do you say?"
Meliodas stood up from his squatting position and smiled brightly. I smiled back at him and stood up myself.
"I say yes, when does it start?"
"It already has."
"Fantastic!!--"
"Julianne! Julianne!"
I turned around once someone called my name, what can be the problem this time?!
Once my full body was turned, I saw human sized Diane running towards us in a panic.
"Hey Diane, why does it look like you just ran a marathon?"
"A what? Never mind! You need to come back to the castle!"
Diane grabbed my hand and started to drag me. But, I quickly stood my ground almost making Diane trip.
"Why? What's going on?"
"It's Ivette! She's having her baby!"
