Last chapter

Soundlessly. I was sitting on my hiding spot on the cabin roof a ways away when I heard an angry yell come from Hunter

"DEZ!"

Chapter three!

I curled up, making myself small behind the pointed roof of the cabin and hoped somehow Hunter wouldn't find me. I heard him looking for me everywhere. I sat absolutely silent, not even breathing. After a long time, probably a few hours, it started to get dark and Hunter seemed to finally give up. I climbed down from the roof, cautiously. I looked around in the darkness, and didn't see anyone. I relaxed and smiled, I had won this round. Just then I felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped, turning around. I let out a breath of relief when I saw it was Quinn.

"thanks for scaring the crap out of me."

He laughed, "welcome."

I rolled my eyes, "so, are you ready for our fight."

He nodded, "yep, I've got the weapons around back."

I followed Quinn behind the cabin and smiled seeing them, "choose two," he said and gestured to the pile of water guns. I took a large water gun that had five places to fill up water and could be turned when one was empty. The second water gun I choose was still large, but a bit smaller and had only one spot for water.

"you're going down," I told him, "one minute, I'm going to change," I said and grabbed the filled water guns and walked into the cabin. I set the water guns down on the floor beside my bed and climbed up to the top bunk and searched through my suitcase until I found my black bikini with Neon rainbow stripes and black and red shorts. I went into the bathroom to change then walked back outside with the water guns. While I was changing all of my cousins and came and were watching. Somehow, while I was changing, Quinn had changed into a pair of black and white checkered shorts.

"ten steps then we shoot?" he asked.

I nodded and the two of us stood back to back. We took our steps and counted out loud each one. When I took my final step, I had my water gun raised and took the step at a bit of an angle so when I changed feet I would already be able to see where I was shooting. Apparently Quinn had the same idea and the two of us were shooting each other, he had grabbed two massive water guns. I shot him with my big one first. Both water guns had strapped on them that I had hooked over my shoulders. This way, I had too hands to use to steady my gun and get better aim. I flipped to the next barrel of water and jumped behind a rock cropping, the only things sticking up was the top half of my head and my water gun I shot Quinn with,

"SURRENDER OR DIE!" I yelled.

"NEVER!" he yelled back and jumped up into a tree so he could get to me. I jumped up and ran towards him in a serpentine pattern, continually shooting him and ignoring the bouts of cold water splashing at my body. I changed water guns, using the smaller one, it could shoot farther and only needed one hand as I climbed up the tree with the other. Quinn realized what I was going to do and shot me with both guns as I was climbing, hitting me in the face. I jumped up the rest of the way and the two of us were standing on the same branch, I thought I heard a cracking, but ignored it.

"you have one last chance to surrender." I told him.

"as do you," he replied.

"I'll take that as a no." I said and changed back to my larger water gun. I took a step closer and raised the gun the shot him with as much power as the water gun would give me.

Quinn didn't shoot me back, he just jumped at me, landing right in front of me on the branch, I was sure I had heard a crack this time. He held my hand with the water gun over my head and then took my other hand and held it in one hand, leaving him with a free hand. He grabbed his water gun and smirked,

"surrender yet?" I shook my head and squeezed my eyes shut for the assault of cold water. The thing was, it didn't happen. Before Quinn could shoot, the tree let out another large crack and the tree branch dropped to the ground. The two of us landed in a heap on the ground. I groaned and sat up, I had hit my head against the branch when I hit the ground. It looked as if Quinn had hit his back. I put my hand on the back of my head then shocked as I pulled away, seeing blood. I suddenly felt very dizzy, but still tried to stand up. By now, people were rushing over too us. I got standing and staggered a bit but was steadied by someone putting their arm around my waist to stop me falling. I looked over to see it was Rafae and was suddenly a bit embarrassed. I pulled away from him,

"don't worry, I can stand." I held a hand to my head, the bleading had stopped, it must not have been a deep cut. Rafael removed his hand from my waist, but was quickly wrapping it around my stomach this time to keep me from falling,

"ok, maybe I can't stand."

Rafael laughed a bit, "here, I'll help you into the cabin."

I nodded and gratefully let him keep his arm around me to keep me from falling as the two of us walked inside, I was starting to feel slightly better.

We got to my bunk and I smiled, "thanks for the help," I said and climbed up the ladder, sitting on the bed. I patted the spot beside me inviting him to come sit beside me.

"wouldn't it be better to sit on my bunk because it's against the wall?" he asked,

I nodded and climbed down. "I guess so," we went to his bunk which was beside mine. He let me climb up first and I went up, moving over so he would have room to sit and leaned back against the wall. He smiled and pulled his hoodie off and climbed up after me and sat on the bed. "thanks again," I said smiling,

He nodded, "welcome."

Our shoulders brushed, the bare skin of his arms against mine, I was surprised to feel shocks and was thrown into his mind and him into mine. I tried resisting, I didn't want him to see all the dark secrets I kept locked up inside.

"no no no," I said over again in my head and was once again surprised when I heard him reply.

"why are you resisting?" At that moment, I knew anything we thought the other could hear.

"I-I-I can't." I stuttered.

"can't what?" he asked softly.

"there's just too many secrets," I said, more to myself then him.

I couldn't resist it any longer, it was like I was melting into him and couldn't control it. My mind was flung into his, I looked around. It was dark, but had shiny crystals sticking out in clumps everywhere, the crystals were a cerulean, see through, blue. I slowly reached out to touch one, it was sharp, but I didn't cut myself. When I touched the crystal, I saw myself. Then I realized it was what I looked like in his eyes. I looked the same as I did when I looked in the mirror, but somehow different. It was almost as he saw me in a different light, one that made me look happy, and proud. There was something else there… love? I pulled back feeling like I was prying, he had felt that too.

"I don't mind, look at anything."

I nodded and touched more crystals, seeing his memories as kid and as he got older. I could feel him looking at my memories as well, then he got to a particularly bad memory I had tried to forget. Before I could stop him, the memory had started playing like a tv that you couldn't stop or look away from.

I was still a kid, only nine. I had escaped the island by hiding in one of the boxes on the ship that was leaving. It really wasn't hard, my parents, or aunt and uncle, didn't really care about where I went when. I had only told two people, that was Ash and Mikayla. I trusted them with my life. They had tried to convince me to stay, but I just couldn't. I had made them promise not to tell anyone and left, telling them I would find them again when we were all older.

As I stayed curled up in the box, I thought a bout why I had left. The people who had thought were my parents weren't. they were really my aunt and uncle, my parents didn't want me. The day my mother had me, she gave me to her sister, my aunt. She said she didn't have time for a child, she didn't want one. I decided I wanted to try and find my parents. I hadn't known how I would do it, I just knew I would.

The boat finally got to the main land, they would unload the boxes tomorrow. While the people on the boat were sleeping, I sneaked off. I wasn't sure where to go and that night I had found my way to a street, it was full of warehouses. One had a bay door inside the wall a bit and provided a small shelter. I curled up there for the night and quickly fell asleep. The next morning I woke up, I was on a hard bed and there was a guy sitting in a chair in front of me. I jumped up sitting up and looked around, I was clearly in the warehouse.

"who are you?" I demanded.

The boy only laughed, "Quinn, and you?"

I looked warily at him, even though I was a kid, I wasn't that naive. "Desiree," I murmured,

"you got a last name, kid?" he asked.

I thought about whether I should tell him or not before replying, "Redfern."

He smiled slightly. "Hey, I know a few Redferns, one changed me a while back, Hunter, do you know him?" he asked.

I nodded, "yeah, he's my uncle." I looked at him and my eyes widened, I scrambled back wards on the bed. "your, Quinn the terrible. I've heard about you." I said, looking around wildly for the exit.

He nodded, "Yep, that's me."

"you're… not going to kill me, right?" I asked, my wide nine year old eyes even winder than normal.

"It's your lucky day, Dez, can I call you Dez? I'm not going to kill you."

I nodded, I was okay with Dez. "well… why?"

"Because you look like a nice enough kid who's escaped from the enclave. I have respect for you because it's pretty hard to do, especially at your age. If you need someplace to stay, you can stay here."

I nodded and relaxed slightly, "thanks."

Then Quinn had left. A few days later, Hunter and my uncle came to pick me up. Mikayla or Ash had told, I was still not sure who, and they followed me here. They brought me back to the enclave. Every once and awhile, Quinn would come visit me and we had been grown to be friends as I got older. I still called my Aunt and Uncle my parents, because I realized that even though they weren't my biological parents, they were the closest I had. But I still wasn't as close with them after that.

The memory ended and Rafael looked at me, "oh, I'm so sorry about that," he said to me.

I shrugged, "A few good things came out of it."

He nodded, "I guess. Did you ever find your biological parents?"

I shook my head, "no."

"Do you ever think you will find them"

I thought about it, "Maybe one day. I don't think they'll really want me if I do find them."

Before Rafael could reply, I heard someone yell our names, but it seemed as if it was miles away. As quickly as we had been sent into each others minds, we were flying out. Apparently, at some time, we had fallen into each other and started kissing. Quinn, Mikayla, and Ash had walked in on us kissing. I blushed redder than and apple.

"Uh, do you guys care to explain? We come in here to see if Dez is still alive and find you two sitting on his bed kissing?" Quinn asked, he sounded kind of angry which surprised me. It seemed as if I was getting surprised a lot today.

"none of your business," Rafael told Quinn.

Quinn glared at him and opened his mouth to say something but shut it and stormed out. Ash glanced between the two of us and smiled as if he knew something we didn't. he smirked and followed Quinn out. Mikayla looked at me shocked, not knowing me to be the kind of girl to make out with a guy were someone could walk in on us. She shook her head and walked out too.

Rafael laughed lightly. "you've got some pretty protective friends there," he told me.

I smiled, "they're like family."

Rafael nodded, "you know what this means right?" he asked.

"were… soul mates," I said, as I said the two words, I could see clearer the silver cord that connected our hearts. It thrummed happily, Rafael noticed it too.

"yeah." He said and leaned forward to kiss me softly.

A/n so now we know a bit more about dez, who guess that the two would be soul mates? As well, remember, guy names and looks.
