The things you're better read if you didn't read Ten things you need to know about Joanna Dark
So this is the sequel of the story 10 things you need to know about Joanna Dark. If you didn't read it, you probably won't understand anything of what's happening but I'll make a brief summary of the main events of the last story if you don't wanna read it.
Characters and brief explanations:
Joanna Dark: You all know who she is :) She returned from the Skedar planet. She's dating with Jonathan.
Jonathan Fraser: No need to explain who he is either. It's not a brother/sister story so his family name isn't Dark. He gave himself the name of Jonathan Fraser.
Velvet Dark: Sister of Joanna Dark, what can I say else? She's dating with Nathaniel.
Daniel Carrington: No need to explain either. He was killed by Trent Easton when almost all the best agents were on a very important mission.
Nathaniel Fraser (original character): He's the younger brother of Jonathan. He's studying in medicine and like to annoy everyone like Jonathan.
Cassandra De Vries: She isn't dead. She was a prisoner of the Skedars but she was able to flee because of Siegfried. She's a bad one. Even if the Skedars captured her before, she made an alliance with them because it was her only way to win the war. She preferred to make an alliance with the Skedars than making an alliance with the Carrington Institute
Samantha De Vries (original character): She's Cassandra De Vries' older sister. She's also the mother of Jonathan and Nathaniel but she got rid of them after they born. She's a bad one and she's very cruel…she isn't in a very food mental health. She's the lover of Herbert McGowan.
Trent Easton: Of course you know who he is. After Cassandra was kidnapped by the Skedar, he became the boss of Datadyne corp. He was kidnapped by Velvet and Joanna because he killed Carrington. He became a sort of prisoner of the Carrington Institute. When Cassandra returned from the Skedar planet, she betrayed him and took control of Datadyne again. Her employees like Trent a lot as a boss, they didn't all agreed with her return. Trent was so angry that Cassandra didn't help him to flee from the Carrington Institute and that she made an alliance with the Skedars (he hates the Skedars a lot) that he decided to be an ally of the Carrington Institute.
Herbert McGowan (original character): He's the father of Jonathan and Nathaniel. He wanted to help Jonathan to take care of the institute but because of Samantha, he changed his mind and he's on the side of Cassandra. However, he's not completely a bad guy…
Mr Blonde: Since the Skedar King death, he's kinda the boss of the Skedars, he's a bad guy but don't have an extremely important role in the story.
Siegfried Kreszens (original character): He's the man who helped Cassandra De Vries to flee the Skedar planet. He became an ally of the Carrington Institute and annoys Grimshaw a lot because he's a good hacker. He had the same appearance as Mr Blonde but he is fully human. The Skedars used him to be able to transform into human. He is a scientist so he can be very useful to the Insitute but he didn't showed his true value yet.
Suzan and Sarah (original characters): They are employees of the Carrington Institute. Sarah is a doctor and Suzan is the secretary. Suzan is a very impulsive and rude woman but she's able to be nice…sometimes. As for Sarah, she's always nice with everyone but unfortunately, she get shot and is in coma.
Foster: You know who he is. He's friendly with Suzan and a bit with Trent too.
Grimshaw: You all know who that annoying guy is but he won't be there anymore. He had been killed by Herbert.
Heleny (original character): She was one of the best ally of Cassandra De Vries but she betrayed her and make an alliance with the Carrington Institute. There already was an affair between her and Jonathan a few years ago. She had been killed by Samantha because she knew too much about Datadyne.
Dave Fisher (original character): He's responsible of a revolt in Datadyne corp and he made an alliance with the Carrington Institute with Heleny. However, he had been killed by Samantha shortly after.
Summary
Carrington wanted to get rid of the Skedars that he considered like a very serious threat. After a mission Joanna and Jonathan shared, the Carrington Institute invented a weapon that was very effective against the Skedars. He sent all the best agents on the Skedat planet and the mission was a real success. The problem is that the Skedars weren't all on their native planet and when some of them that were on missions returned and saw what happened, they were more than angry. Cassandra De Vries and a guy named Siegfried Kreszens that were prisoners of the Skedars took the opportunity to escape shortly after. Meanwhile, Trent Easton killed Carrington. After the agents returned from the Skedar planet, they could only notice Carrington's death. Jonathan was chosen to become the next boss because he was the most experienced agent and that he was the only one who could truly assigns agents in mission. Joanna and Velvet kidnapped Trent Easton to understand why he had done such things. Trent is sure that since what happened on the Skedar planet (the annhilation of the tribes) that the humans are in great danger so he get his revenge by killing Carrington. The two fugitives from the Skedar planet meet the people from the Carrington Institute. Cassandra had bad idea in mind but Siegfried just wanted to really help the Carrington Institute and this is what he's going to do. The Carrington Institute encountered a lot of trouble but after two people from Datadyne corp.(Dave and Heleny) came to help them, they've find a way to get rid of the Skedars: a very powerful bomb that could destroy an entire planet. Unfortunately, for an unknown reason, the detonator didn't worked so Jonathan sacrificed his life and went to the planet to activate the bomb as a kamikaze. It didn't worked either. Now, he's stuck on the Skedar planet and everyone thinks that he's dead.
Why have I the feeling I wrote this for nothing…
Chapter 1: The return from the dead
Note: This is happening one month after the end of Ten things you need to know about Joanna Dark…
Heat. Boiling heat…Boiling heat was consuming him slowly…like he was melting ice under the hot rays of the sun…But it was hotter than just the sunrays…it was because three suns were shining over his unconscious form at the same time. Three sources of extremely hot temperature were make him feel like he was burning.. His eyes shot open. The environment around him looked like the deserts on Earth. Sweat covered his body. The three suns were high in the sky and they were making him feel like he was going to die. Then he remembered what happened, but he didn't understand why he was there…not in the cold cage he was before…Yes, in a cold cage. After he had been captured by the Skedars, he had been tortured during two or three weeks to make him say information about the Carrington Institute. He didn't said anything. He hadn't been neither thrown in prison nor sentenced to death. They threw him in a cage in a kind of laboratory. He wasn't the only one that was here. There were at least 30 humans that were imprisoned in different kind of cells or cages. The Skedars were making experience on them…like the humans do with some animals…Some of the humans had insane look in their eyes, some other were malformed by the substance the Skedars shot them. Yesterday, those monsters injected to the prisoners all the same substance. Some of them fell unconscious. Some others (mainly men) became completely crazy. They broke their cages and killed the other humans. Jonathan and a woman with a cage near his looked what was happening with a horrified look. After a few minutes, Jonathan felt dizzy and everything went black… Now he was lying outside, on the ground. He looked at himself. Blood covered his scattered shirt…He just hoped he didn't became like the men he saw. He decided to wear off the piece of ripped and bloody shirt he was wearing. With an enormous effort, he stood up and searched for other humans.
***************************
" Today at the news. The truth is revealed. Robert O'Donell, the rival of our president, affirmed that our president is a liar. There truly are other creatures than humans that are living in our universe and not as far away as we can't think. He also said that some private company made alliance with different kind of creatures that aren't living on our planet. Our president tried to hide us the truth, and he'll probably pay for this in the next election. You dear citizens, you must absolutely vote for the one who's telling the truth: Robert O'Donell!"
"Fucking news…always controlling what the people are thinking", said angrily Nathaniel.
"Don't you think this information can make panic the people? I hope this stupid Robert O'Donell doesn't know anything about what's happening with the Skedar thing", answered Velvet who was sitting by his side in front of the TV.
"I don't think anyone from the institute will be happy to hear a news like this. Hey Joanna! What are you thinking about this?", shouted Nathaniel who thought that Joanna was in another room.
"She left a few minutes ago", replied Velvet.
"Where did she go?", questioned Nathaniel.
Velvet didn't answered. Then he understood where Joanna went…to the graveyard…
****************************
Joanna was walking slowly on the sidewalk. She didn't wanted to use her car. Winter had passed spring was now arrived. The snow was almost all melted and the sun makes the temperature goes up to a very comfortable state. There already was flowers that were growing. Joanna picked some…she wanted to give them to someone she truly cared for. The Carrington Institute didn't had any news of Elvis since their last mission…the mission when she lost Jonathan. Since that tragedy, the Carrington Institute wasn't very active anymore. They didn't find any other person to replace Jonathan. The Institute had fallen through an unfathomable abyss… Then Joanna arrived to the place she was looking for…the cemetery. Before, she never approached any church…before, she never needed to go to the graveyard because she never lost someone that she really loved. She entered the churchyard. It was very rare now that someone was entering a church or a cemetery. They were relinquished places. She walked between the tombs of the deceased people. She stopped in front of the tomb she was looking for. There only was a gravestone but no tomb had been buried. She read the name of Jonathan on it and let fall the flowers she picked in front of the monument. She sighed. She was bored to always come to this place everyday but she couldn't control herself. Since he disappeared from her life she felt alone in the world. But…why was she so sure that Jonathan wasn't dead? Why did she always felt like he was always hiding from her and that he was secretly watching her?
She didn't know that he was very far away…trying to find a way to survive to the unbearable conditions he had to confront.
*****************************
It seems to him that he was walking for hours in that endless desert. Sometimes, he saw some Skedar ruins but he didn't tried to explore it. He was afraid to face a Skedar again and he was completely unarmed. Very far away, he saw some kind of hill. But it seems that it was only a heap of grey rocks. Even if there wasn't any grass or vegetation, he hoped he could find something there…food…water…or a hideaway…anything that could make him forget those three fucking suns that were burning his skin.
"What a bad idea to remove my shirt even if it was bloody, sweaty and shredded…I'll probably have the worst sunburn I've never had…", he murmured to himself
He walked quicker. His only desire was to reach his salvation the rapidest way he could.
******************************
Joanna returned from the graveyard and went to her apartment. She was greeted by Velvet and Nathaniel that were slightly panicked. It seems that Robert O'Donell was too much of a big mouth.
"Joanna! It's terrible! The rival of the president know about the Skedar thing and he said everything that he knew about it to the nation. Everyone know about the Maians, the Skedars, Datadyne corp. and the Carrington Institute", exclaimed Velvet in a panicked state.
"Yeah! That mother fucker told everything we didn't even said to our family and friends that are outsiders of the Carrington Institute! What are we gonna do now!?", asked Nathaniel that was as panicked as Velvet.
"Why are you asking me this question? I don't have a bloody idea! I'm not the boss of the Carrington Institute after all!", replied Joanna that seemed annoyed.
"He also talked about the conflict we have with the Skedars. He thinks that the Maians are manipulating the Carrington Institute and that we're as dangerous as terrorists. He also thinks that the Skedars are the best ally the United Stated of America can have", said Nathaniel who calmed down a bit.
"What he doesn't know is that the Skedars are dead and that the Carrington Institute isn't active anymore", responded Joanna.
"Errr…this isn't what he said. He said that the Carrington Institute tried to annihilate the Skedars two times at that the two attempts were failed…he seemed to know about what he was talking about you know…", murmured Velvet.
"WHAAAAAATTTTT!!!! YOU MEAN THE SKEDAR PLANET ISN'T DESTROYED!!!!!???????", exclaimed Joanna.
"…no…", murmured Velvet.
"YOU MEAN THE SKEDARS AREN'T DEAD!!!???", shouted Joanna.
"………nope…….they're alive…….", replied Velvet.
It took to Joanna a few seconds for these information to penetrate her brain. This was too much for her.
"…Joanna…are you alright? You're suddenly very pale…", asked Velvet with a worried tone.
Joanna collapsed. She fell on the floor before Velvet or Nathaniel could catch her. This was too much emotions for her. She never doubt that Jonathan was alive. She was sure that he was dead even if he didn't disappear with the bomb. This information only brought her rage. She had lost Jonathan for nothing…
******************************
Jonathan could see the dusk of the three suns. He was almost arrived to the hill he saw a few hours ago. The bottom of his feet were burned by the ardent sand. He was in pain and exhausted. If his feet wouldn't hurt him so much, he would have slept on his feet for the night. He tried to ignore his stomach that was making noise. After a few minutes, he arrived. Before letting himself fall asleep, he tried to find what he was looking for. He didn't find anything to eat or drink but he found a kind of cavern. He quietly entered the cave. The place was dank and he heard the sound of a source of water. The cave wasn't very deep. Jonathan quickly find the source of water. The rays of the sunset were making the small source of water shine and it made felt Jonathan even more thirsty. He didn't cared if this water was full of virus or bacteria, he was thirsty and only that mattered to him. He kneeled next to the water and drank it until he had a small headache (A/N: you know, the kind of headache you have when you're drinking slush or eating ice cream too quickly). After, he let himself fall next to the water source and even if he was laying on rocks, he fell in a very deep sleep.
*******************************
"Doctor!! Quick! Come see this! It's a miracle!", exclaimed a nurse.
The doctor entered the room and saw the woman that was opening her eyes.
"Her family and the employees of the Carrington Institute will be happy to learn that she woke up", said the nurse.
"Yes, of course. She was very lucky to survive. Call her family and the Carrington Institute and tell them Sarah Taylor is alive", replied the doctor.
*******************************
Suzan entered the Carrington Institute almost in a run. No one was in there anymore. Suzan also heard the news and was completely shocked by what Robert O'donell said. She sat at her desk and searched in her folder for the phone numbers of the employees. They all needed to learn about this and Suzan thought it will be a good idea to make a meeting at the Carrington Institute to talk about this. The phone rang. Suzan was slightly surprised that someone was calling at the Carrington Institute but she answered.
"Hello…", said Suzan
"Am I at the Carrington Institute?", asked the voice of a woman.
"Yes, of course you are!", replied Suzan.
"I have a good news for you", said the woman.
"Don't tell you're one of those stupid salesman that are trying to sell me you're junks!?", replied Suzan that was loosing her temper.
"No. I just wanted to warn you that Sarah Taylor recently woke up. It's a miracle isn't it", responded the nurse happily.
"WHAT!? YOU MUST BE KIDDING! HA, THIS IS FOSTER WHO'S GONNA BE HAPPY TO HEAR THIS!", shouted Suzan.
"Who is Foster?", asked curiously the nurse.
"Never mind!", said Suzan as she dropped the phone.
*******************************
Velvet and Nathaniel brought Joanna on her bed. Velvet went to the bathroom to find a facecloth. The phone rang and Nathaniel answered.
"Hello", said Nathaniel.
"…Jonathan?!", said Suzan with a puzzled tone.
"No, it's Nathaniel…", responded Nathaniel.
"…Oh…sorry! You're voice is the same as Jonathan on the phone", replied Suzan.
"…Anyway why did you called?", asked Nathaniel.
"Sarah woke up! She's alright!", exclaimed Suzan.
"Really!? What a good news! Well better than the one we've heard on TV", said Nathaniel.
*******************************
Two months later
A small group of Skedars were walking in the desert. They were searching for some flesh to eat. Jonathan was approaching them very slowly, holding a mauler he had found a month ago. One of them smelled something. This wasn't the scent of a Skedar. He told to his comrades in an unknown language that there was something near. They were all alert and waited for the creature to show itself. Jonathan got out from his hiding place and shot one of them. Brown blood was flowing down the body of the dead Skedar. The others escaped. They knew who was their attacker. It was a human that was living in the forbidden cave…They all feared this human…it was their worst nightmare. It seems that this human was killing at least one Skedar per day and after he was eating them. Jonathan didn't have any choices. The law of this desert was: eat Skedar flesh or die. The Skedars had good reasons to fear him. To them, he was scary to see. If someone who knew Jonathan would have see him right now, he wouldn't have recognized him. He had long and messy hair that became blonde because of the suns, a beard that hadn't been shaved for months, his skin that once have been pale was tanned by the three suns and he has lost weight. It seems that Skedar flesh was low in fat because he could easily be considered as skinny. And his look had changed. Being alone during three months hit his mental health after all. He brought the dead corpse of the creature with him. It was lunch time…
*******************************
The election to choose the next president were coming. O'Donell was well more popular than the present president. The Carrington Institute tried to make a contact with Elvis but it didn't worked. Everyone were worried that Robert O'Donell became the president. They all knew that if he was elected that the CI was going to be in big trouble. But that day, two days before the people will have to vote for their next president, Elvis made a contact with the Carrington Institute. The device that was used to communicate with Elvis was now at Joanna and Velvet's apartment. When Joanna heard the sound that was coming from the device, she ran and opened it.
"Elvis is that you?", asked Joanna.
"Yes, it's me. Sorry for taking a while to make a contact with you", answered Elvis.
"We all began to think that you were dead or made prisoner from the Skedars", replied Joanna.
"So you know what happened…Listen to me Joanna…I'm very busy right now. I've heard that there were humans that were alive on the Skedar planet. I'll go with some other Maians to a mission of rescue", said Elvis.
"Elvis…is there small chance that…that…that Jonathan is belong them?", questioned Joanna.
"…….I don't know…maybe….But if I was you, I wouldn't expect anything after what he tried to do to the Skedars. There's a lot of chances that he had been given in sacrifice to a Skedar god", responded Elvis.
"…I…I see. Anyway why did you called?", asked Joanna.
"When my rescue mission will be finished, I'll have to go on your planet. I want to land on the helipad of the Carrington Institute. I just wanted to warn you", answered Elvis.
"It's alright…someone will be waiting for you there…", said Joanna with a depressed tone.
******************************
Jonathan was eating his…gummy meal with the same disgusted face he always wore as he was eating. A lot of lines were written on the wall of the cavern. Each line was a day he spends on this planet. He counted two months since he arrived to this cave. He was bored of this life. He was stuck on that fucking planet since a long time now and he didn't have any reasons to live anymore. Each day he woke up, wrote a line on the wall with a rock, went near the source of water because he didn't have nothing to do else. Then he drank water or wash himself. After he went to search for 'lunch', he eat the non-tasty meat, sleep during the afternoon because it was too hot outside to get out of the cavern., during evening he didn't do anything because even if he was hungry he didn't wanted to eat some Skedar flesh and finally, he falls asleep again. Jonathan always knew that someday he'll get out of here to maybe…find some people to talk with or find a way to get out of this planet…
"This day is going to be tomorrow…", he murmured to himself.
Each day he was telling to himself 'this day is going to be tomorrow' but he didn't knew that today was the last day he was on the Skedar planet…
*******************************
Elvis landed on the Skedar planet and got off the ship with his maian allies. They all had 'humans radar'. This was very simple. The Skedars, like the snakes, have cold blood. The radar was detecting the presence of a living being that his inner temperature was hotter than the ambient temperature, like the humans. Elvis talked in a maian language to his comrades (let's traduce to not complicate things).
"Okay! We'll switch in teams of two. Each one of our teams will go in a different area of the planet. If you find a human, you must make a contact with our pilot and he'll go search for you. If we find some of them, they'll probably be injured or sick so you must take care of them very well if you don't want their state to get worse. Did you all understand what I've said?", said Elvis.
"Yes captain!", the other Maians answered.
*****************************
"So there really are humans that could be alive?", asked Nathaniel with a over-enthusiastic tone.
"Yes, that could be possible but Elvis is almost sure Jonathan isn't belong them", answered Joanna.
"Why would he be more dead than the others?", asked Nathaniel with an indignant look.
"He tried to destroy the entire planet and the Skedars saw him. He was probably sentenced to death and killed shortly after", replied Joanna with a cold tone.
"How can you be so unconcerned by this?! Wasn't he supposed to be your boyfriend, lover or something like that?!", questioned Nathaniel with an irritated tone.
"Calm down Nathaniel. Joanna's right to be like this. We cannot have false hopes. It will only depress us even more", said Velvet that was defending her sister because she knew that Joanna wasn't really unconcerned, she was just hiding what she was truly thinking.
"She doesn't seem depressed at all", retorted Nathaniel.
"Anyway Elvis wants someone to go to the institute to greet the survivors", said Joanna.
"Fine, I'll go. If Jon's alive, I will be the first one to know", answered Nathaniel.
"I'll go with you. Will you come with us Joanna?", asked Velvet.
"I don't think so…I think I'm going to visit Sarah…", replied Joanna.
*****************************
Like each afternoon, Jonathan laid on the cool floor of the cavern and fell asleep. He didn't knew that he was being watched by two Maians. The two Maians were shorter than Elvis. They probably were very young. Their eyes grew wide as they realised that the creature they were watching was a human. The shorter Maian (that was so small that he or she was probably a child) opened her/his communicator and talked to the pilot in the Maian language. The young Maian wasn't talking loudly at all but it was loud enough to awake Jonathan from his dreamless sleep. He didn't moved, he faked to be sleeping. The older Maian that wasn't an adult at all approached Jonathan. Then Jonathan saw what were the two silhouettes that entered in 'his' cave: they were Maians. He couldn't believe what he was seeing… did they come to rescue him? Jonathan opened his eyes wildly and smiled to the Maian that was coming nearer.
"Hi little Maian! What are you doing here!? Did you come to rescue me?", asked Jonathan with the same smile.
The Maian didn't answered. His eyes just grew wider as he saw that Jonathan was talking to him. The tone of Jonathan's voice, even if it wasn't menacing, scared the Maian. He took out a gun and pointed it on Jonathan.
"Wait a minute! Calm down! I'm your friend, not an enemy. Here, take my gun", said Jonathan as he gave his mauler to the Maian.
"You see…I'm not a bad guy…I wanna be your friend…", murmured Jonathan.
The younger Maian closed its communicator and looked at what was happening. The older Maian seemed to understand what Jonathan meant by giving his gun and he put his gun away.
"Hi! We Maians friends…Came help humans. Ship coming for humans. What name are you", said the younger Maian with a high-pitched voice.
"Hi…I'm Jonathan but you can call me Jon if it is too hard for you to pronounce…", answered Jonathan.
"Joha…Joanta…Jathan huh…Jon! Me name too hard pronounce to humans…Elvis gave human name to him…and…gave human name to me toooo", replied the young Maian.
"So what is your human name?", asked Jonathan that was paying attention to pronounce the words he was saying very clearly.
" Elvis called me…Joanna", replied the little Maian.
"Really! So your name is Joanna…it is a pretty name…", said Jonathan with a grin.
"Name of great female human hero. Joanna want to be like human Joanna…a hero", said the little Maian that was apparently a girl.
Jonathan smiled as he heard what the young Maian was saying. Suddenly, they heard a resounding noise coming from outside. The older Maian took Jonathan's hand and brought him outside. The ship was waiting for them. Jon and the two Maians entered the vessel. Elvis approached the Maians and told something in the Maian language (let's traduce again).
"I'm so glad you're alright. You took a while before making a contact with us but it isn't important anymore. You're fine and this is the only thing that is counting", said Elvis.
Then Elvis looked at Jonathan. It seems that Elvis didn't recognized him.
"Hi dear human! We're the Maians race and we came to rescue humans on the Skedar planet. So what's your name?", asked Elvis.
"I already know who you are and what is the Skedar planet. My name's Jonathan…Don't you remember me Elvis?", replied Jonathan with a slight smile.
"What the…you cannot be…Jonathan…Is that really you ? The Jonathan from the Carrington Institute?", questioned Elvis with extremely wide eyes.
"Yes…it's me…", answered Jonathan.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so happy to see you again! We all though that you were dead!", exclaimed Elvis.
"What wrong?", asked the young Maian that didn't understand their conversation.
Everyone that were in the ship stopped their conversation and looked at Elvis and Jonathan. Elvis explained himself.
"He's Jonathan…the man that rescued me with Joanna when I was made prisoner in the Area 51…he's the hero number two", said Elvis.
Jonathan wasn't extremely happy to hear 'hero number two' but it was what he is after all…The second after Joanna. Elvis began to relate the events of the Area 51 in the Maian language. Jonathan looked at the other humans. There weren't a lot…there were maximum 10 humans in the ship…So at least 20 people died, Jonathan thought to himself…He saw the woman that had her cage next to his when they were imprisoned. She looked like she was really frightened…she looked a bit like Joanna but it was obvious it wasn't her…the true Joanna would never be scared like this. A man was sitting next to her. Funny, Jonathan thought to himself, the man looked slightly like him. The man took the woman in his arms apparently to make her forget her torment…it seems that it didn't worked. She looked like she was even more scared. Then Jonathan thought about the one he forsaken to save the lives of the humans…Jo…Jonathan smiled slightly as he thought that he was going to see her again…he never thought he could have this privilege.
*******************************
"So there is humans that are coming!? I'll stay with you. I wanna see them.", said Suzan with an overjoyed tone.
"Damnit…", Nathaniel whispered.
"What did you say?!", asked Suzan.
"Nothing that could interest you…", replied Nathaniel.
"Look! I think they're coming!", exclaimed Velvet.
Velvet was right…Elvis' ship was coming. Suzan was as excited as a hyperactive child.
"Yes! They're coming! I can't believe it! They're finally coming!", exclaimed Suzan.
"Shut up Suzan!", exclaimed Nathaniel and Velvet at the same time.
The ship landed on the helipad very easily. A big number of Mains exited the ship and only a few humans. Joanna (the Maian) was damned…Suzan had saw her.
"Look! There's a mini-Maian! It's so cute", exclaimed Suzan as she tried to chase her but Joanna left in a run.
Nathaniel wasn't as good as Joanna(the human one) to hide his emotions. When he saw that Jonathan wasn't there, his face became slightly paler and he looked at the ground. Then Elvis got out from the ship…but with an unknown human. Elvis and the man (guess who I'm talking about) approached Nathaniel and Velvet.
"Hi Nathaniel and Velvet. Where's Joanna?", asked Elvis.
"She didn't came…she visited Sarah that recently woke up from her coma", answered Velvet.
"I have a very good news for you", said Elvis.
"…" , was the only response Nathaniel gave.
"So what is the good news?", asked Velvet.
"Jonathan's alive!", responded Elvis.
"Jonathan is alive!? But where is he?!", questioned Nathaniel.
"I'm in front of you, brother…", said Jonathan with a grin.
"What!? Jonathan is that really you?", asked Nathaniel that wasn't believing Jonathan.
"Yes, it's me. Have I change that much?", asked Jonathan.
"Oh my god!!! Jonathan…you're alive!!!", exclaimed Nathaniel as he gave Jonathan a big hug.
"Jonathan!? Oh my good, it's really you!", said Velvet with a grin.
"Jonathan? Where is Jonathan?", asked Suzan.
"I'm just here…", answered Jonathan.
"What da fuck!!! You cannot be Jon! My goodness! IT'S REALLY JONATHAN!!!!", exclaimed Suzan that was so surprised that she was almost doing a heart attack.
It only took a few seconds to Suzan to fall unconscious.
"Jonathan, you look like a barbarian", commented Nathaniel with a grin.
"Will you do me a favor Nathaniel?", asked Jonathan.
"Yes, of course. Everything you want!", replied Nathaniel.
"Make me an appointment with the dentist and the hairdresser", said Jonathan.
"Alright, I'll do this for you. Do you want something else?", asked Nathaniel.
"Yes, would someone borrow me a mirror? There wasn't any on the Skedar planet", asked Jonathan.
"Take mine", said Velvet as she gave Jon her mirror.
Jonathan thought that he was probably terrifying at this moment. He looked at himself in Velvet's mirror. And he realised he wasn't wrong at all when he thought that he would be terrifying.
******************************
A few hours, appointments and tortures later.
Jonathan stood in front of Joanna's apartment. Jonathan's hands were shaking…he knew that Joanna was the only person in this apartment…He wasn't sure of what was going to happen after he will knock to the door. Will she be happy to see him? Or shocked? Will she cry? Will she smile? Jonathan's heart began to beat faster…he was scared of the reaction Joanna was going to have.
Joanna had heard footsteps that stopped in front of her apartment. Why wasn't the person ringing the bell or knocking to the door. She decided to go see through the bull's eyes who it was. She looked in it and saw someone that was looking like…wait…that was impossible…it couldn't be…Joanna abruptly opened the door. Then they saw each other. Joanna didn't move. She wasn't having any reactions…Jon began to worry.
"…huh….Hi Jo…can I come in", asked Jonathan with a very nervous tone.
Joanna didn't say anything but she let him enter her apartment. She closed the door and faced him again. Then it happened. Sobs fell down her cheeks and she threw herself in Jonathan's arms.
"Jon…I'm so glad you're back…I'm so glad…I always knew that you weren't dead but something forced me to tell everyone the opposite of what I was thinking…I missed you so much Jonathan…", said Joanna as she was crying.
"I missed you too Joanna", replied Jonathan that wasn't sure if he should smile or began to cry too.
Then Joanna broke the hug and looked at him closely.
"You changed so much Jonathan…I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you through the bull's eyes.", murmured Joanna as she brushed away her tears.
Jonathan didn't answered and kissed her fervently. Joanna was completely caught off guard but she didn't broke the kiss. After a minute, Jonathan broke the kiss and looked at her amorously. Joanna noticed something about Jonathan. His look had changed…through his eyes…she saw something that wasn't there before… It seemed like…pain. Then Jonathan grabbed her and carried her to her chamber. She completely forgot about what she was thinking. She had a doubt of what was going to happen…
and wasn't against this idea at all…
End of the enormous introduction: The return from the dead
(Sigh) Damnit I'm so tired (again) I only took one day to write all this chapter and now it's 1 am and when you wake up at 7 am you're INCREDIBLY TIRED! I hope you like this enormous introduction because there's possibilities there won't be any updates for a while. Why? From April 3 to April 10, I'll be on vacation… to London…I'm completely crazy about that trip and I'm not sure I will have the time to update before leaving…there's also a lot of exams next week so if I find some time to write chapter 2 during next week it will be a miracle…If after April 3 there isn't any updates, there won't have any before April 11 or 12 and this will only be that case if I'm not too tired. There's 6 hours of interval between London and my home so I'll probably be exhausted when I'll return. You can email me when I'll return from vacation. I'll probably have more information about next chappy…
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last story and I hope you liked this chapter. A review would be appreciated :)
