— Re:Zero Fanfiction – Loop 2 – Felt

I have decided to start working on a Loop for each of the girls in the Re:Zero universe. That said this is simply a teaser to the next story, I will hopefully get to start it tonight and I hope to have it finished before the end of the month (never-mind, i decided to finish early). Thanks for all the feedback, and I hope everyone finds this loop enjoyable at the very least!

This loop takes place during episode 2 of the anime series, if you have not already watched the anime series then now would be a great time to start 😀

As always I hope you enjoy the story, please feel free to leave questions and comments below.

[Kadomon] Well, boy? You want this Appa?

For the fourth time Subaru stood before the venerable fruit stand owner, cold waves of fear and terror slowly receding deep into the recesses of his mind. Overly aware of how dry his throat and mouth were Subaru attempted a reply.

[Subaru](stuttering) I.. oh..no… I have…. money… I mean… I don’t…sorry

Kadomon crossed his arms and gave Subaru a sharp look as he walked away from the stand. As he walked down the street he thought about everything that had happened thus far and tried to catalog the events of, well the same day. (Ok so I can to this fantasy world with no money, and it seems no powers. The first time I experienced today I was beaten, and then saved by that beautiful half-elf who gave me the false name of Satella. Oh and then we were both murdered trying to recover some insignia she had stolen. Day two I tried to bypass all the nonsense and just get Felt to sell me the insignia, again my day ended with my guts in the wrong places, namely outside my gut. Day three I find out that Satella was not the actual name of beautiful girl how saved me me, and for my efforts I was stabbed in the back). Subaru walked the streets aimlessly trying to recall all the events leading up to this point, trying to make sense of any of it, but the only defining point he settle on was the Insignia. The insignia meant something to the Elf, it was worth something to Felt, and Elsa was willing to murder countless numbers of people to claim it. No matter what Subaru needed to get his hands on it, but to do that he needed Felt. Subaru looked up, and took stock of situation, (Last time Felt and Rom were both murdered as a result of his actions, this time I need to find her BEFORE she reaches the loot house). To that end the only thing Subaru knew was he needed to get to the slums as fast as he could, to head off Felt and to get that insignia before Elsa was involved.

Subaru made for the slums as quick as he could manage, this new city was as unfamiliar as it was formidable. As he ran he kept an eye out around him for any sign of Felt, (It might be better to find where she lives) that idea made the most sense of anything he had yet thought of. As Subaru crossed the last bridge that separated the main city and the outer city he caught sight of her running down the lane approaching the bridge he was crossing. Subaru put on more speed but it was clear that Felt would clear the bridge well before Subaru would even reach the road she was running on. As things seemed to be hopeless Subaru once again turned his vision to where he was headed and,

[Subaru] AHH!!! DAMN IT!!

Subaru slammed into a young man trying to get his unruly dragon under control, Subaru bounced off the man and slammed into the bridge wall, the man was knocked face first into the ground and the dragon was loosed. As Subaru watched the scene unfold all hell had broken loose, the dragon lashed out and caught a small cart that was just passing causing the cart to rise up on one wheel and the driver to thrown bodily from the cart. Subaru’s mouth fell open as the cart broke free of the dragon driving it and tore a path that would intercept Felt’s path. At the same time Subaru was elated his joy turned into fear, Felt was not paying any mind to the happenings on the bridge, she was not even looking ahead of her.

[Subaru] LOOK OUT FELT!!

As he yelled it Felt’s head darted from the merchant stands lining the side of the road to the path in front of her. Felt’s reactions were as fast as Subaru thought they might be, but not quite fast enough it seemed. Felt leapt into the air just a moment to late and the corner of the drivers seat just caught the heel of her foot as it sped past and crashed into another cart spilling some golden yellow oily liquid all over the area, and as Felt came down she hit the ground hard on her left side and rolled to a stop some twenty feet from the crash. Subaru was sprinting towards her, but as he closed the gap as quickly as his legs would carry him, Felt was already recovering. At the last moment as she stood up Subaru saw the small black and gold insignia fall from pocket and bounce of the stone out of sight just behind some potted plants sitting just off the curb next to some kind of herbalist stand. As soon as Felt was fully on her feet she shook her head violently and before Subaru could reach her she had began to run off towards the slums again.

[Subaru] Holy shit, is that girl made of grit, I could feel that landing from a 100 feet away!

[Herbalist] She looked like a slum runner, the way she took off she must have stolen something valuable, was it something of yours?

The Herbalist laughed as Subaru knelt down by the potted plants where he saw the insignia fall, and pretending to inspect the plants he reached out and felt the ground and within a few seconds his fingers closed on the small black and gold insignia with its jeweled center piece.

[Herbalist] Oh did you find something to peak your interest, my plants are some of the best you will find in the whole city.

[Subaru] Ah… Um no I have no money, I was just looking…. Take care !!

With that Subaru got to his feet and started jogging towards the slums, his mind raced as he tried to decided what to do next. (I have what the Elf was looking for, I could give it to her now) but an uneasy thought floated to the forefront his mind, (If Felt shows up empty handed then Elsa would flay her alive, no I have to figure out a way to same them both it seems). As Subaru ran along he tried to formulate some kind of plan, but nothing stuck out, (the only hope I have is that Felt returns home BEFORE going to the loot house) and with that thought Subaru wended off down the path he knew would lead him to the Slums, (I will have to find out where she lives). Subaru asked the man who had previously helped him find the Loot house if he knew where Felt lived, the man happily replied and bidding his farewell Subaru jogged off in the direction the man told him to look.

As Subaru rounded a bend in the distance he saw a small run down shack in the corner of what could have been a home many years previously, and in the small shack sat Felt. As Subaru approached he saw here frantically checking her pockets, panic spread wide on her delicate face.

[Subaru](sighing heavily) She desperately needs what ever this damn insignia can get her.

Taking a deep breath Subaru a formulated a plan to try and save this girl from a fate that surely led to her guts being spilled out. Subaru cautiously approached Felt’s house, when he was only a few feet away from the ruin his foot snapped a twig and Felt’s eye instantly found him.

[Felt](drawing his sword) Who do you think you are trying to sneak up on?

[Subaru] Natsuki Subaru, I am doing no such thing, I just wondered… well I wanted to know, if this (pulling insignia from his pocket) might be what you are looking for.

Felt’s eyes widened a little and then a deep scowl crossed over her face.

[Felt] How did you get that, are you here to taunt me after you stole it from me?

[Subaru] No, I want this object to find its way back to its rightful owner, but it seems you need this object as much as she does.

[Felt] You make no sense, I suggest you start making some while you still have your tongue!

[Subaru] I want to give this back to you, but I ask that you allow me to bargain with you here and now for it, so that I might be able to help two people with one good deed.

[Felt] Good deed? what do I care about good deeds? do they put food in my belly, do they keep me alive? Who lives by good deeds alone, FOOLS!

[Subaru] While that is all well and good, you are forgetting something important.

[Felt](Yelling Furiously) WHATS THAT!

[Subaru] I have what you have lost, and I do not wish you to go with out, so as show of good faith and in the actions of a “Good Deed” I want to make sure you get whats owed, that way your belly will be filled. So in essence a good deed is going to put a meal on your plate.

Felt’s expression changed from almost blind fury to pallid curiosity as she surveyed Subaru.

[Subaru] I have some idea what you are thinking about right now…

[Felt] You now pretend to know what I am thinking eh??

[Subaru](laughing) I said I have some ideas, would you like me to spell it out?

[Felt] Fine, explain things as you think you see them.

[Subaru] (clearing his throat) ok / I have something you need, and we both know you are armed and I am not, and I have serious doubts about being able to match you in combat, so if you wanted to kill me and take the insignia then, well, its yours. (laughing) but you have held your blade, and for that I am thankful, but it does change things, I think it means that you have accepted to hear my offer? Am I wrong?

[Felt] You are not wrong, I will hear your offer, but… it also means I owe you a debt as well, even if we trade fairly, their is no doubt that you hold all the chips and just the act of giving me fair shake of things puts me at a disadvantage.

As she spoke Subaru understood that she really did not want to say these words, but they were true and whatever she was no one could call her dishonest or call into question morality.

[Subaru] No… I….NO! you do not owe me anything. Look, I know… how much I afraid to say, but trust me, I am not doing this to gain a debt, its more a matter of life and death.

[Felt] Again you talk around the table and you expect me to understand, about the only thing I could comprehend is you think my life is danger and now you are doing what you can to protect it, is that what I am hearing.

[Subaru] I cannot deny your words are true, but please understand once this deal is done, you owe me nothing, we both get what we need and we both get to keep on living.

[Felt] so you think that thing puts my life in danger and instead of just taking it back to its owner without a second thought you are coming here to try and help me and even save my life…..and you expect me NOT to owe you?!? Are you crazy or stupid? what the fuck kind of deal is this?

Felt’s eyes filled with tears, the weight of the situation she found herself in was overwhelming, the stubborn girl who lived a life of squalor and hardship, of pain and suffering, of terror’s Subaru could not hope to understand. Even in all her strength Felt could not understand this thing Subaru was doing for her, a good deed without a debt owed was not something Felt could understand. Felt lived a life free of handout’s a life where each day was a fight just to survive, and now Subaru stood here offering her kindness beyond measure and whats more he was offering out of kindness and concern over someone he barely knew. Felt began to openly sob, Subaru’s mind raced, if a debt was owed then what could he possibly ask for, from this girl who had nothing……(That might just work… at least its something to ask for…and if she refuses then at least I can respect her wishes and her debt is repaid)

[Subaru] Well lets say you did owe me a debt for my kindness… I could ask you for anything right, and if it was acceptable then the deal is struck and the debt repaid, and if you could not, then the question it self would stand as payment for the debt, correct?

[Felt](drying her tears) if those are the terms of you deal I will honor them, yes, what payment would you wish for.

Subaru bolstered his courage and stepped over the threshold of ruins approaching Felt, once he was only a few feet away he knelt down in front of where she was sitting on the bed, her sword pressed lightly into his chest.

[Subaru] The only thing you have to give me, and the only thing I could ask for…a kiss.

Felt’s eyes narrowed, and for a long while Subaru waited for her reply.

[Felt] A kiss… what a stupid request.. before I answer tell me why

[Subaru](laughing nervously) you are a girl right? I mean you do have quite small breasts, but I am sure you are girl.

[Felt] I am a girl, and keep my boobs out it, answer the damn question.

Felt pressed her blade harder into Subaru’s chest and frowned at him.

[Subaru] Ok ill tell, but promise me you wont laugh

[Felt] That is not a promise I would make, either tell me and I laugh or tell me and I dont

[Subaru] Oh how your words sting, very well, I am a lonely man, I longed to touch a woman, I dreamed about it for as long as I can recall, but the crushing reality is…well to put it bluntly I am a shut in and mostly a loser, so honestly that is the only thing I want in this world right now, is just for a moment to kiss and be kissed and to pretend things are going alot better than they currently are.

Subaru’s words seemed to have a profound effect on Felt, she pulled her blade back and turned her head slightly sideways, almost appraising Subaru’s very existence.

[Felt] By why….Me?

[Subaru] Thats easy, I have dreamed the first girl I would kiss would be breath taking and beautiful…. That is why I asked you.

Felt dropped her blade and shock spread across her face.

[Felt] You think….(shaking her head) No you can’t, I am not one to be played with, keep your honey pot of words and tell me why.

[Subaru] I told, I explained it to you, all that I cant do now is wait patently for your response, if you do not believe my words then you can decline, and while I would be sorely disappointed, I will respect your choice.

Felt looked long and hard at Subaru, like she was trying to catch his eyes lying, but Subaru held her gaze unblinking until at last.

[Felt] Ok I have decided…..if a kiss is what you ask as repayment for you debt, then so be it.

Subaru almost fell over backward, that was not the response he expected, he was so sure she would refuse he did not even allow his mind to believe it was possible. Like a damn breaking his mind exploded and fantasy’s of every fashion and it was all he could do to remain in his right mind.

[Subaru](choking) YOU WILL!!

Felt smiled and laughed at the look of incredulity on Subaru’s face

[Felt] Where you hoping I wouldn’t?

Subaru wracked his thoughts, he tried to tame the flow desire welling up in him and tried to think rationally, in the end though he realized if he was really honest he never wanted her to say no.

[Subaru] No…I mean Yes…I mean…I cant….words

Felt laughed and in that moment the exterior mask she wore broke and her red eyes sparkled in the setting son, devoid of malice, or sorrow, or the hardship born of a life lived in struggle and they shown with a joy that warmed Subaru’s heart.

[Felt] Ok, come sit with me

Subaru sat on the bed as Felt stood up and pulled the dirty blanket across her door way and then sat down on the bed next to Subaru. They took it in turns to look at each other, go scarlet in the face and then look away. Subaru reached out his left hand the rested it on Felts right leg, her breath caught half way in and she spluttered for a second before looking at him

[Felt] Ok… what are you waiting for, you asked to kiss me… so….get on with it

[Subaru] Sorry, I have never done this before

[Felt] AND YOU THINK I HAVE!

[Subaru](panicking) NO, I am just nervous is all.

Saying it out loud seemed to help calm his nerves

[Felt] Oh… sorry, I am nervous as well

They both smiled at each other and then slowly Felt began to lean into Subaru. His heart beating hard Subaru leaned in as well, his mind raced forward but his body seemed so reluctant to move, (How hard is it to just lean in). What is normally a simple task, a natural movement, was now confusing. Just we he thought his nerves would give out or his heart would finally beat it was out of his he could feel Felt’s breath on his lips, soft and warm it filled him with an otherworldly strength, all the fear gone he and Felt hovered not even a hairs breadth apart before…..

Subaru was sure he was ready, was sure he knew what was about to happen next, but when their lips finally did meet it was not at all what he had expected. All his nerves calmed, his mind slowed, his whole body warmed at Felt’s touch, he wanted the moment to last a lifetime. All to soon though Subaru was pulled back out of the dream into the hovel of the small blonde girl with red eyes. Subaru blinked stupidly while Felt pondered him for a moment, her face changed slightly from the nervous but determined face Subaru saw just before closing his eyes just moments ago, this face seemed to be filled with longing, and…..a hunger? Subaru sat up, trying to compose his face and his thoughts.

[Subaru] Thank you.. that was…

Before he could form the next word Felt reached out grabbing him behind the head and pulled his face into hers and Subaru once again felt that solace and desire grow inside him. He pushed back and Felt fell backward pulling him down with her, and his desire crashed over him like a wave, all he knew was passion and desire, he wanted to kiss Felt and he never wanted to stop. Felt grabbed his hair in her fist and clinching it tightly she then pressed her tongue against Subaru’s lips and he responded in kind by parting his lips and thus began a the dance of two people inexperienced in the arts passion exploring the depths of desire. At first they clumsily moved, tongues like battering rams smashing into each while each attempted to eat the others face, but slowly they began to move not as two fools trying to win some war of tongues, but as one creature with one purpose, with one desire. Subaru lifted up is body with one knee and Felt slide her leg up under him and then reaching up wrapped her legs around his body as Subaru lay down his right hand holding fast to her shoulder while his left found her thigh. As he began to caress his hand down her thigh Felt body began to shake slightly, wrapping his hand her butt Subaru squeezed and in a flash her hand was on his. Felt made not pretense and pulled his hand forcefully up and shoved it under top, Subaru’s eyes flew open and he tried to pull his head away, but Felt held on strong with her other hand. From exchanging something passionate to sharing pure sexual desire had caught Subaru unaware, but he adjust quickly and began to slide his hand further under Felts top until his middle finger brushed against her nipple. Felt’s body tightened, and as Subaru began to explore her soft puffy nipple she broke away from their kiss and moaned quietly. Subaru took this his other hand and moved it under the edge of her top on the other side and then sliding back his of hand he pulled her top down to expose both her small soft breasts. Her puffy golden pink nipples captivated Subaru’s eyes, and without thinking he slide down and kissed her chest, her hand clenched his hair and she pulled him to the right just slightly, her kissed her chest again and again she pulled his head just a bit further. Starting with his lips firmly shut and he began to move outward his lips spread a little wider each time until finally he found his lips closing around her nipple, the puffy areola soft as silk, while the tiny nipple in the center was swollen tight with blood. Subaru sealed his lips to her breast and slowly sucked her nipple into his mouth. Felt’s moan grew louder has Subaru used his tongue to lightly tease her hardened nipple, running just the very tip of his tongue around the very edge and occasionally flicking her nipple around softly. Felt began to tremble as Subaru teased her other nipple with his fingers, her breath coming in short bursts and she tightened her legs around his waist. Her moans began to to break slightly with the convulsions in she was experiencing, Subaru sucked her nipple a little harder and as he did she let of one a single long half moan half scream of ecstasy, her back arching, her legs squeezing Subaru so hard he was having trouble breathing. Just as the pain grew almost to much him to take, her whole body relaxed, her legs fell limply onto the bed and he body sank down. Subaru pulled his head up until with a slight “pop” Felt’s breast came lose and he smiled down at Felt’s red, sweat covered face.

[Felt](panting heavily) Just a kiss eh?

[Subaru](laughing softly) well I guess I never said I wanted to kiss you on the lips

Subaru rolled over on to his back next to Felt and she rolled on to him snuggling her head into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. They stayed like this for a what seemed like hours to Subaru.

[Felt] I feel like I owe you more now than I did before, I have never felt anything like that before….Thank you.

[Subaru] You do not owe me a thing, I am happy just to know I made you happy.

Felt looked up at Subaru’s face with a defiant expression as if she was having a heated debate with herself.

[Felt] No, its settled, I owe you….Now let me pay off my debt

[Subaru] If you wanted anther kiss all you had to do was ask

Subaru made to pull felt into an embrace but she shoved him down to the bed and then began to look around the small room.

[Subaru] Umm? did you lose something?

[Felt] Ah, that will work, ok now just stay still

Felt removed a long strip of fabric from a small shelf and Subaru remained still while she tied it over his eyes.

[Subaru] Well…now what?

[Felt] Just don’t take it off…please

Subaru wanted to protest but in the end he knew Felt meant him no harm and so he nodded. Just as he started to wonder what Felt was doing he felt her hands begin to unbutton his pants.

[Subaru] Wait..what!! what are you

Felt put a hand over his mouth

[Felt] Please… please just stay still ok.

All the nerves Subaru felt before they had kissed paled in comparison to how he was feeling at this moment. His heart was pounding so hard he was having trouble trying to breathe. Felt slowly began to pull Subaru’s pants, his stomach felt like it was doing flips and he shuddered involuntarily. After pulling his pants down to his knees she slid her hands up the front of his thighs and grabbed the waistband of his underwear. Subaru wanted to protest, his whole body was shaking as his mind and body battled over jumping up off the bed and staying as still as possible. Subaru could feel the fabric sliding down and his mind began to revel, (how could something so normal, something I have done thousands of times, feel like this). Never had he felt something like this, the soft cotton sliding across his dick caused waves of pleasure to radiate through his body, calming his nerves and erasing all thought. Soon the feeling had passed, Subaru was acutely aware of a soft gentle breeze blowing across his body, its warmth helping to put all of his fears at ease. Felts hands had not yet moved from the waistband of his underwear, but Subaru could hear her breathing getting faster a heavier, he desperately wanted to remove his blind fold. Slowly Felt’s hands free themselves and she moved her hands up his naked thighs, stopping for a moment by his groin she gently flexed her hands squeezing the muscles just below his waist, waves of pleasure rolled over Subaru. Again Subaru’s heart rate began to climb as Felt’s trembling hands moved slightly inward.

[Felt] If you ever tell anyone, I will kill you.

[Subaru] Oh…I would dream of…

His last words were cut short in his throat as Felt’s right forefinger and thumb wrapped tightly around the base of Subaru’s dick and all the air in his lungs slowly leaked out. The next second Subaru was treated to a most interesting sensation, the fog in his brain slowed his thoughts as he tried to figure out what Felt could be doing to make him feel so good. Realization donned as the hot wet sensation began to wind it was up from the base of his dick. Wiggling her tongue back and forth slowly Felt moved her head up and at the same time pulled back slightly on Subaru’s dick, as she reached the base of the head she turned her head to the side and kissed the underside of dicks head. Subaru was in a sea of bliss, his mind and body were pure pleasure, all the pains of the world were gone, all his cares seemed unimportant, all that mattered now was that Felt continue to do whatever it was she was choosing to do. Felt continued to kiss Subaru’s penis and just as he had done with her nipple, she started with just her lips and then began to slowly open her mouth and soon enough she was sliding her tongue just across the base of the head of his dick. Blood rushed into cock as fast as his heart could pump it, as it began to swell up it also became more sensitive to her touch. Every time her tongue passed across electrics veins of ecstasy shot through his body and he fought the urge to scream out in pleasure cause some how that felt embarrassing, but at the same time he wanted to let know Felt know how much he appreciated what she was doing to him. In the end any idea of embarrassment was thrown aside as Felt turned her head back up and placing her lips on the tip of Subaru’s penis slowly opened her mouth and using light suction swallowed his dick into her mouth.

[Subaru] oooooooOOOO FUCK!!

Felt squeezed the base on his dick in acknowledgement.

Felt’s head moved down and at the same time she slid her tongue from the top left of Subaru’s dick around to the right, and back up and to the left as he head came back up. At the top of each stroke she would sweep her tongue around the top of his dick and then start over again. With each pass Subaru’s head clouded over more and more, his body became heavy, his body was a conduit of pleasure and he never wanted it to end. Felt could feel Subaru’s body trembling at her touch and began to speed up slightly to match his rhythm. Subaru could not take it anymore, he had to look, he had to see with his eyes what his body was telling him was true. Leaning up slightly he carefully pushed the blindfold up with one hand, the sight of Felt’s head moving up and down, his dick appearing and disappearing combined with the sensations shooting around his body was to much. His head fell back down, he could feel his dick swelling more now, he knew he was close, he needed to warn Felt somehow but his limbs were paralyzed his mind raced and did the only thing that made sense.

[Subaru] I’m about to ahhhhhhh

Subaru was not sure what he expected her to do, but as his penis began to pump thick ropes of semen into her mouth he never expected her to keep going. Pump after pump Felt took it all, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of Subaru’s thick salty semen, and only after his body had given up all it could give did she relent. Subaru took off the blind fold and stared up at the ceiling of Felt’s small home, his body slowly recovering for the intensity of the days events.

[Subaru] (panting hard) Thank you… thank you… thank you

Felt giggled then lay down on Subaru resting her head on his chest.

[Felt] Thank you Subaru…

Subaru could feel hot tears dripping on his chest and he ran his hand though Felt’s hair to comfort her.

[Subaru] I am sorry I made you cry, what can I do to help?

[Felt] Can’t you see you stupid boy, that is exactly why I am crying.

Felt propped her self up to glare down at Subaru, tears pouring from her eyes, her expression was one of sadness, and longing. Subaru was taken aback, he still could not understand, and unsure of himself he plunged on.

[Subaru] Me??! but I did’t… I dont know what you mean

Felt buried her face in Subaru’s chest and sobbed hard.

[Felt] Why? why would you show me such kindness, what have I ever done to receive such a gift, and then you make me feel….. you make me… me .. of all people.. you make me fell loved, why? how can you do this, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!?!?

[Felt] WHY? Felt slammed the side of her fist into Subaru’s shoulder

[Felt] WHY DAMN YOU? She pounded down again.

Subaru reached up and grabbed her fist and held it tight, tears began to pour from his eyes, at no time in his life had someone responded like this to the simple act of showing them kindness. (Had Felt’s life truly been so hard that she could not accept that someone else, anyone else could care for her, could even love her?)

[Subaru] I am sorry Felt, please forgive me, I wanted to make sure you were safe, I wanted to protect you….

Felt cried harder still and Subaru wrapped her tightly in her arms.

[Subaru] Shhhhh, I am here, I will protect you, I will save you, you owe me nothing you have owed me anything, but I promise you that I will change your life, I will do all that I can to help you….and love you.

Subaru kissed the top of Felt’s head and her body trembled slightly at the touch.

Turning her head to the side Felt lay on Subaru for what seemed like hours, night was upon them long before either one spoke again.

[Felt] Do you truly mean that… will you… will you be my hero Natsuki Subaru?

[Subaru] Until I can no longer draw breath and beyond I will protect you, of that I promise.

Felt kissed Subaru’s chest and again they lay motionless for a time. Finally Subaru’s mind came around and the whole reason for meeting Felt came to the forefront.

[Subaru] Rom….

[Felt] What?! how do you know that name..

[Subaru] Oh, he was the one that told me where to find you

Subaru hated himself for having to lie to Felt, but he needed a reason to check if the old man was safe.

[Subaru] I have a feeling…. I need to see Rom, Felt I need you to stay here please

[Felt] NOT A CHANCE!!

Felt pushed her self up and looked at Subaru an angry and defiant expression on her face. Subaru knew he could not ask her not to come, he had some idea of what Rom meant to her after-all.

[Subaru] Ok, but if we sense ANY danger, run, use your gift and save yourself

[Felt] Subaru!

[Subaru] NO! I wont hear any objections! if things go south I want you to run I want you to run and NEVER look back…..

Subaru had sat up and was holding Felt’s shoulders like a vise and she quelled slightly under his gaze.

[Felt](in a small mousy voice) ok….

Felt and Subaru, getting their clothing in order, set off for the Loot house. shafts of pale moonlight revealed the path ahead of them as Subaru and Felt walked, hand in hand, up the road. As they reached the last corner Subaru stopped and looking at Felt spoke in a whisper.

[Subaru] Hold on, I think we need to be cautious.

Felt’s face looked puzzled.

[Felt] (Whispering) what? You cant think something has happened to Rom can you?

[Subaru] I just want to make sure.

With that Subaru peered around the corner toward the Loot house, all the lights were out, Subaru felt a chill down his spine as he pulled his head back around the corner.

[Felt] I don’t like this, he always leaves me a light on

Subaru looked at the worried expression on Felt’s face and he heart broke, he knew now what he had feared the most. Elsa had gone to the Loot house and when Felt never showed she killed Rom, and she was probably still inside, waiting for Felt to arrive. Subaru squeezed Felt’s hand and she looked at him alarmed.

[Felt](Whispering) whats wrong Subaru?

[Subaru] Felt… we need to leave… I am sorry

[Felt] Sorry? Leave? Subaru what are you getting at, Rom must have just passed out and forgot to set the candle is all.

In the space between two moments Subaru heard what he was waiting for, the sound of a foot fall just beyond the wall. Acting instantly he dove on to felt just as a blade sang through the air and smashed in the brick wall just behind where Subaru’s head had just been. Small flecks of brick peppered Subaru’s face as he twisted over and jumped to his feet, pulling Felt up he stepped in-front her, his arms held out as a shield, straining his eyes to find the figure of the woman lurking in the shadows.

[Elsa] Your late little one, So much for you reputation

Felt made to respond but Subaru shot her a look of terror and she fell silent.

[Subaru] She might be a bit late, but she has what you need, you and take it and leave no harm no foul right.

Elsa’s laugh was like the sound of breaking glass, it caused an almost involuntary fear inducing reaction.

[Elsa] To late for that it seems, I have dealt with one lose end tonight, whats two more.

[Felt] What do you mean loose end…..what have you done to Rom?

[Elsa] Rom, was that his name? to bad, if he had just told me where you lived he need not have died (sighing heavily) to bad though, but if it means much to you he did suffer….oh how he suffered.

Elsa’s form stepped out from behind the wall only feet in front of Subaru and Felt as she spoke.

[Felt] You….you killed him? NOOOOO!

Subaru barely had time to react as Felt attempt to launch herself at Elsa, but as fast as he was the burning fire across the side of his face told him he was just a bit to slow. Blood spilled out a cut from the corner of his right eye back to his ear, pain shook him but he fought to keep control of his limbs.

[Subaru] FELT RUN NOW!!!

Subaru pushed her bodily back the direction they came as another white hot pain shot down his left arm, Elsa’s knife opened up a deep cut from should to elbow and Subaru dropped to his knees. Elsa laughed high and cold.

[Elsa] Yes little one, run away, let someone else die for your mistakes.

[Subaru] Felt don’t LISTEN TO HER… RUN DAMN IT!!

Felt sat on the ground fifteen feet away, tears spilling over her face. Elsa made to step past Subaru, he launched himself at her knees knocking her to the ground.

[Elsa] Oh come now, know when you are you beaten.

[Subaru] Sorry to say, but I am a bit of a slow learner.

[Elsa] then let me be teach you some more

With that Elsa pulled one her legs free and kicked Subaru’s injured arm, then as he loosened his grip she put her foot on his should and kicked him up into the wall behind him. As his head hit the wall light sprang up in his vision, but he kept his footing.

[Subaru] Is that all you got? you are as weak as you pathetic.

Painfully aware of the fact that Felt was not yet running Subaru attempted to hold the gaze of dagger wielding murderer before him.

[Elsa] Fine then, if you want to taste my wrath so badly then so be it.

Elsa lunged forward her blade singing through the air, just before it could strike him Subaru was knocked aside and he heard a scream that seemed to drown the life out of him. Turning he saw Felts body laying in a heap at Elsa’s feet blood pouring from a wound that opened from he navel to neck.

[Subaru] FELT!! NOOOOOO!

Elsa high cold laugh rang

[Elsa] Well that was easier than I expected

Elsa turned away from Felt and Subaru and began to walk down the road. Subaru scrambled with his injuries to Felt’s Side and lifted her into his arms.

[Subaru](choking on tears) why, why did you stay, you should have run Felt…..

[Felt] (choking on blood) its what… you would have done….for me….

[Subaru] I was trying to save you though, I never meant for you to die, I was supposed to protect you….

[Felt] Its ok Subaru

[Subaru] HOW?? how is it ok

[Felt] I died….saving the man I love…

With that Felt’s seized in Subaru’s arms and she reached for his face, Subaru pulled her close and kissed her. Subaru felt her body relax and then grow slowly limp in his arms, but he kept kissing her, hoping that we he finally pulled away she would not be gone. But when he finally released her and looked down at her ghostly face in the moon light his heart wept.

[Elsa] Even though I could watch you pain for the rest of my life and not grow tired of it, I am a busy woman, so I will do you one kindness and end your suffering

Elsa’s blade stabbed into Subaru’s back, right next to his heart.

[Elsa] Well…eventually

Laughing again Elsa pulled her blade from Subaru’s back and blood began to fill his lungs and his body started to go into shock from the pain. Subaru held Felt in his arms as long as he could, blood pouring from his chest he swore that he would repay Elsa for this, for killing Felt twice now, for killing Rom twice, for killing the Elf girl, if he had to die a thousand times, he would kill her……
