Hey everybody. Today is a great day to read my story. I want to thank all the people who have read and interviewed my stories. I don't own Oban Star Racers. On with the story.
Jordan and Eva were bent over double. They had been running from them. Who is the 'them'? Aikka and Kross. They have been hunting Eva for some time now.
Jordan looked over at Eva and remembered the day she told him everything.
"They have been trying to kill me for awhile actually." ,Eva said.
Jordan asked, "Why, Molly?"
"I don't know, but I need to get out of here, so no one gets hurt, and stop calling me 'Molly'." ,Eva had said.
"What should I call you, then." ,Jordan asked.
"My real name is Eva Wei. Don't tell anyone. I can't keep it a secret from you anymore." ,Eva explained.
Jordan's eyes went wide. "You mean...?"
"Yes, I'm Don Wei's daughter. I need to leave." ,Eva protested.
"You're not going by yourself. I won't let you get killed." ,Jordan explained.
"Fine, then, let's both get out of here." ,Eva said. They packed only what they would need on their journey.
They were about to go when Don crossed their path.
"Where are you going?!" ,Don yelled.
"I'll come back and tell you later, DAD!!!" ,Eva yelled behind her.
Don was standing there in shock.
That was a month ago. Aikka and Cross were still pursuing them.
"I'm tired, Eva. Can we sleep now?" ,Jordan asked in a whispered.
"Just as soon as we find a cave or something that will hide us." ,Eva replied.
They looked around for a dark place to hide. Jordan spotted a cave to his right. He didn't want to talk, so he grabbed Eva's hand and pulled her as quickly as he could without making a sound towards the cave. Eva went in and looked to see if anyone was in the cave. There wasn't to their relief. They set up in the very back of the cave. Jordan hung a huge blanket in front of their 'room', so when they lit the fire for warmth, so they wouldn't be noticed, because it got pretty cold in some of the caves they slept in.
"I'll get the fire started. You get the food." ,Eva whispered.
Jordan nodded, and went outside to find something to eat. He found some blue berries, raspberries, strawberries, and some other types of berries. Jordan went back carefully, because their lives depended on him to not make a sound. He found that Eva had the fire going already. Setting the food down on a blanket, Jordan set up their bed.
Eva was staring in the fire like she did every night. She was thinking.
I miss you both. Don't forget, I love you both, even though you aren't around to comfort me. Thanks for my friend that keeps me company. Why does this have to happen to me. Eva thought to herself.(She was thinking to her parents.)
Jordan sat down next to her. He had only one blanket left. Jordan put Eva in his lap, and wrapped the blanket and arms around both of them. Snapping out of her spell, Eva leaned into Jordan's chest. Jordan still hadn't told Eva that he loved her, but when could he. It would just put more problems on their plate. They were just enjoying the warmth of the fire and each other, while they ate.
"Well at least today is over." ,Jordan tried to cheer Eva up.
"What about tomorrow?" ,Eva asked.
"It will be better. I'll take the watches tonight." ,Jordan said.
"You've haven't slept in days. I can take it, you know." ,Eva said.
"Nah, I'm good." ,Jordan said with a yawn. They both had bags under their eyes, because of these watches and running from their enemies.
"I won't sleep if you don't sleep." ,Eva stated.
"You know something, you're really stubborn." ,Jordan said with a grin.
"I know." ,Eva smiled as she said this.
At least I got her to smile. Jordan thought.
"I wish we could sleep like we used to. Back in the good days. Without our troubles." ,Jordan said.
"They're my problems, not yours. I shouldn't of told you about this, and left by myself." Eva said to the air in front of her.
"No, Eva, I take some of the blame for not recognizing what was happening." ,Jordan explained, "Get some rest. I'll wake you up at dawn."
Jordan gave her a kiss on the cheek. Eva hugged Jordan, as to say, 'Thanks for helping me. I love you.' Jordan gave Eva the blanket, and left her to sleep.
Eva was angry at herself for not telling him how she felt. The truth was that she loved him. Eva realized that a month ago, when they left together. He was willing to sacrafice himself for her problems.
I'll tell him tonight, at least I hope so. Eva thought as she looked into the fire.
Three in the morning, Jordan saw that on his watch. He couldn't stop thinking about Eva.
CRACK!!! Jordan spun around to see that Eva had stepped on a stick. Letting out a sigh, Jordan sat down against the cave wall. Eva walked over.
"Can I sit with you?" ,Eva whispered.
Jordan nodded and let her sit in his lap. She gave him the blanket that she had brought out, and he wrapped it and his arms around both of them. Eva sat there absorbing the warmth of her friend. Jordan was feeling the same. They sat there and listened with alert ears. Eva glanced behind her and saw that Jordan was dozing off.
"Go ahead, you need sleep too." ,she wispered into his ear, "I love you, Jordan."
Eva gave him a short and sweet kiss on the lips. He kissed her back.
"I love you too, Eva." ,Jordan said before he fell asleep. Eva was leaning into his chest. Listening intently, the night went by quickly.
At the first rays of dawn, Jordan stirred. Eva woke him up fully. They packed everything up within a few minutes. Then they were off. Eva took Jordan's hand. Jordan smiled at Eva, and she smiled back.
"I love you, Jordan. I hope you will always remember that." ,Eva said to him.
"I won't forget. I hope you don't forget that I love you from the bottom of my heart." ,Jordan replied.
"Trust me, I don't forget things easily. Whatever you say, I never will forget." ,Eva said.
They walked until night time, before Eva felt like they were being watched. She kept on glancing behind them. Jordan noticed.
There was a different sound in the forest they were walking through. It was a rustling sound. They stopped dead in their tracks. A voice mumbled some words neither of them understood, before a blue glowing arrow whizzed by them.
"ARGGG!!!! YOU MISSED THEM!!!!!" ,Kross screamed in fury.
"You just gave up our position!!!!" ,Aikka screamed at Kross.
Jordan pulled Eva to his running speed. It was much faster than either if them could believe. There were more arrows that whizzed by them, that were followed by a yell from Kross. Eva was struggling to keep up. So, Jordan put her on his back in a piggy-back style, and sprinted. An hour later, Jordan's fear was fading away, and so was his stamana. They had lost sight of their enemy, but they could still hear them running after the couple.
"There!! Go Jordan!! Go Jordan!!" ,Eva pointed. Jordan ran towards the thickets that Eva had been pointing at.
Eva jumped off of Jordan's back, and pulled him down to the ground. He landed on his back. Eva laid on top of him, so he wouldn't get up. They tensed as they heard Aikka and Kross stop fifty feet away.
"Where are they?!" ,Kross yelled.
"I can't see them." ,Aikka said.
"I blame you." ,Kross growled as he threw Aikka against a tree.
Aikka and Kross left shortly after. As soon as they were sure Aikka and Kross were out of hearing distance, Eva let out a sigh, as she relaxed against Jordan's body. Jordan looked at her face, and saw that there were tears falling from her eyes. He knew that she was about to fall apart. Eva scrambled off of Jordan as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Jordan sat up and wrapped his arms around Eva.
"You know you can always cry on my shoulder." ,Jordan whispered. Eva hugged him back, and cried silently into his chest. It took her about an hour to stop the tears in her eyes. After she was done crying, she let go of Jordan. Her eyes were red and puffy.
"I think it's time we turned in for today." ,Jordan whispered to Eva, "I'll do everything. You just relax."
They found a different cave that night. Jordan got everything set up. Eva was staring intently into the fire. After Jordan was finished, he brought the blanket over to Eva, and put it around her shoulders. Then he left her without saying goodnight to take the watch. This made Eva feel worse.
Jordan sat against the cave wall thinking. He pulled out his two sharp knives. They were his grandfather's that had been passed down to him.
I'll give one to Eva, so she can feel protected where ever she goes. Jordan thought.
Eva came out to say goodnight. She saw that there were goosebumps all over Jordan. She walked over and sat on his lap. Jordan instictively put his arms around her. They were soaking in the heat from each other's body for a few minutes.
"Here, Eva, I want you ta have this." ,Jordan said handing her one of the knives, "It used to be my grandfather's when he was alive. I want you to have this one, so you can be protected all of the time."
Taking the knife from his hand, Eva thanked him. It had the deepest shade of blue(the blueest shade you could think of) sheath, and a matching blade. It was beautiful.
"This means a lot to me, Jordan." ,Eva said.
Jordan pressed his lips to hers. Kissing her as deeply as he could. Eva was kissing in the same passion. She jumped slightly, when she felt his tongue on her bottom lip. She opened her mouth more, and Jordan took his chance. He tasted her for a few minutes, then slipped his tongue back into his mouth. Eva then tasted him.
He tastes really sweet. Eva thought as she was kissing Jordan.
They broke apart from lack of air, blushing. Eva fell asleep in Jordan's arms that night. Jordan kissed her forehead as he thought.
Tomorrow is a new day.
I hope you all liked it. Please review.
