First of all I want to thank all those reviewers. To Moon, for the help. Hey, I'm sorry if there are some character-value changes. And also, I'm planning to merge the 5 stories I planned, so it will be a very long story. To armexlass, it would be long sir/ma'am, but I'll try to publish as fast as I can. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I've done this in a computer rental and the heck I forgot my notebook. I'm trying my best to remember Chapter 3, I may change some of this chap later on. For now I bring you Chapter 3, Insomnia's Contagious.

Everybody was now in their tents, but are they really asleep? One person seems to have trouble sleeping.

Elesis' POV

That idiot Ryan! Didn't I tell him from the start that I hate dogs? Now, what? I can't sleep! Arrrgh!

There. I can't sleep. Great. I keep on moving here and there. No effect. Grrrr .. I'll just get my magazine. *flip flip flip flip* Damn. I'm not interested on men's bodies. I sat down and kept thinking what to do. What else is in my bag? Chips .. Coffee .. More magazines .. Extra Clothes .. Map .. ARRRRRGGGHHHH! I CAN'T SLEEP! I felt like crying. It's all that druid's fault. I just wanna kill him, but he got some shield from Lire. Oh my Xenia Gods, please just let me sleep! I slumped covering my face. I just want to sleep. Please ..

Just as I was losing hope, I remembered Arme. Not that I don't want to ask help from the brat but there's nothing I can do. I just want to sleep. Sigh. I have to do this.

I got up weakly and guess who I saw? Exactly. Very timed. Badly timed. Ronan. He is sitting and staring at the campfire. He looks like something's on his mind I cannot fathom what. Well, I guess this is going to be a long night. Feeling that I don't want to sleep yet, I approached Ronan.

Ronan's POV

I have to focus in my quest. I don't want to but I must. I must only do what I need. And once this is done I'm out.

Sigh. I can't sleep. Maybe I'm thinking too much? Okay. Erase, erase, erase thought, erase. Close your eyes, Ronan, and sleep. ... ... ... ... Sigh. Can't sleep.

"Hey daydreamer, can't sleep?" an irritating woman's voice called out. I turned at the direction of the voice. Great. Now I'm out of hope. " Yeah. How about you?" I replied weakly. I moved a bit to make a place for her to sit.

"Me too. I don't know why .." she sat beside me and looked at the fire. "I was about to ask Arme to cast a sleeping spell on me but then I was detoured here." I can't help look at her. She looks beautiful against the fire. I think it compliments her. I'm bored so I'll just ask her for a chat. Hope it helps both of us.

"Umm .. Since we're here and we don't have anything to do either .." I started, "A little chat won't hurt?"

Elesis looked at me and shifted her position so we can look at each other. "Okay, maybe a boring talk with you may help me sleep." she smiled tiredly. I smiled back.

"So .. Elesis .. Why did you join Grand Chase? You know, everyone has a purpose and quest. What's yours?" I asked first.

"Hmm? Well, I joined Grand Chase because .. Well I was in hopes of finding my father."

I am not surprised by that. By the way she acts, she's boyish, it is logical to conclude she grew up with her father. "Why, what happend to him?"

She looked down. "He was sent to track Kaze'aze. And he never came back. When I heard Serdin was going to help the tracking team, I didn't think twice. I joined this team." she looks hurt. I think I shouldn't have asked that question. Well what's done is done. "Hey, please don't tell this to others. You're the only one I shared this secret with."

I smiled. "Of course, as a knight, I will keep your promise hidden even on my death."

Now she smiled. "Don't overact Ronan. It doesn't fit you." We laughed together. "Oh yes by the way, will you still be with us after we defeat Gaikoz?" She asked the million gp question. What was on my mind was that. I stared at her seriously.

"Well .. What would you do if I left your team?" I can't possibly answer her now. My thoughts and my heart are going different ways.

"Of course, I'll rejoice! No more assisstant leader to bug my plans!" She looked like she enjoyed.

Elesis' POV

I cheered. When Gaikoz is over, I'm back to normal!

I looked at him.

He smiled, yet I feel the pain in his voice. "Is that so .. "

No. I didn't mean that! What the heck are you doing Elesis? You've hurt someone's feelings! Now go apologize to him, NOW. But I can't!

I don't know what to say or do. I did something bad again. Even if he's bugging me all the time, he's always nice. He always accepts the fault even if he isn't the one who's wrong. He's always nice to us even if sometimes we get into fights. I feel guilty for what I always repay him for what he always do to me.

"Elesis .." He said weakly.

"Uhh.. wh-what is it, Ronan?"

"I'm sorry .."

"So-sorry? Fo-for what?"

"For making you mad always. For bugging you. For forcing you to do something you don't want. For my presence here. For everything. I'm sorry for everything." he didn't look at me. And now I feel more guilty. It is me who did wrong yet he's the one who's sorry. This is wrong. I must apologize to him.

"Ronan .."

"Yes?" he looked up now.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For hurting you whenever you're nice, for repaying it with bruises, punches, for hurting your feelings, and I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong."

What's next I didn't expect. Arme just popped out of nowhere and appeared in between us.

"Aha! Why aren't you two sleeping yet?" She looked at me with menace like she's gonna roast me to death.

I was surprised, but instantly, I became glad. "Arme! We can't sleep, so help us!" Ronan said the words for me.

"Glad to help you, Ronan, but I'm not glad to help you, BULL!" the brat yelled at me and it sparked my sleeping rage to wake up.

"WHY YOU! COME BACK HERE!"

Before I can even stand, she casted a spell and instantly, I felt drowsy, then blank

Now the two insomniacs fell asleep at last, and Arme smiled. She left the two there on the same spot. Are they going tomorrow? Let's find out at Chapter 4!

Next Chapter: Going(At Last)

Spoiler: At I think chapter 5, BATTLE SCENE XD

Yay! I finished it without my notebook. Well anyways, I'm changing the title because I planned to merge the original 5 separated stories I made. Well anyways, please do R&R. I appreciate everything :) Thanks to everyone reading!
