A/N: Here it is, chapter 4. It's a little bit shorter then the other two, but oh well.

I know that the story might be a little bit hard to understand, but that's the whole point really. I just hope people stick with it long enough, because things will become clearer once you come further down the storyline.

Anyways, I finnished this chapter just a couple of minutes ago, there could still be a few or perhaps a lot (of) grammar mistakes in it. If you find one (or maybe two) please tell me.

Thanks,

The present

When Cary passed the doors of the temple and started walking towards the stairs someone grabbed him by his shoulder, making him spin around in surprise.

Before him was a boy with white/grey hair and dark red eyes, that sparkled mischieviously. His hair was long and spiked up in a wildish style. He wore a short black pair of pants with army like boots underneath. His plain white T-shirt had a skull imprinted on it. The boy looked at him with amused eyes and a smirk on his face.

'Hey man, what's up?' The white haired boy asked Cary when he removed his hand from his shoulder.

Cary smiled, recognizing him immediately, it was Kyran. They were friends ever since they were kids. 'Nothing, how bout you?'

He shrugged and casually put his hands in his pockets. 'Nothing either. I'm bored.' He said and sighed kicking with his feet against a small piece of metal that was lying on the floor. 'You know why we're here?' he asked looking back at his friend.

Cary nodded and sat down on the stairs. 'Yeah, more or less.' He leaned forward on his arms and looked around nonchalantly.

'Good, 'cause I want you to meet someone.' He said to Cary in a secretive tone that made Cary raise his eyebrows. Kyran made a gesture with his hand that said 'follow me'. Cary stood up and put his hands into the pockets of his baggy pants. 'Alright, got nothing better to do around here anyway.' He said before he followed his friend.

Kyran walked towards one of the dark corners of the large temple hall. When they came closer a shadowy figure who was in a kneeling position came into view. Cary narrowed his eyes to get a better sight but it was to dark, he could only see the outlines of the person.

'Hey you!' Kyran said and whistled. The shadow moved slightly and Cary could recognize it as a girl now.

'Oui ykyeh?' ((You again?)) The girl said in a monotone voice as she stood up and stepped out of the shadows.

Cary's heart skipped a beat when he saw the girl before him.

She was absolutely gorgeous.

She had half long light blond hair with bangs that covered most of her left eye. Her eyes were a dark green with swirls and they seemed to twinkle with cheerfulness. The girl was dressed in a green pair of worn out shorts, very short shorts and a brown belt that hang loosely around her hips with a couple of pouches. Her top was short, sleeveless and white with grease stains all over the place. It showed a small part of her stomach, just above her bellybutton. There was a necklace around her neck, silver, with a small locket hanging from it. Around her right wrist was a leather band, nothing special. Her earrings were long and colorful with all the green, yellow, red and orange beads.

'…speak Spiran, so I can't really communicate with her.'

Cary shook his head to clear his thoughts. 'Huh? What?' He asked as he looked over at Kyran.

Kyran gave him a weird look. 'What what? Haven't you been listening?' Cary blinked at him and shook his head.

'No sorry.' A smirk played his lips.

Kyran narrowed his eyes at the brown haired boy. 'Aha…right. I said that she can't speak Spiran, so I haven't been able to talk to her.' He told him a bit more slowly this time, and a bit louder too. 'I think she's the reason why we're here. What do you think?'

Cary gave a sideway glance at the blondine before him, he noticed that she was looking at him too with an cheerful smile on her lips. Cary blushed when he saw that she was looking him straight in the eyes and he quickly averted them back to Kyran.

'Well I don't know…Can't you speak Al Bhed?'

Kyran shook his head. 'Nope…I can say 'Hello' in Al bhed though.' He said and turned to the girl. 'Rammu.' He waved at her. She giggled at him childishly.

'Re.'

Cary looked back at the girl when her attention was on Kyran. 'I can't speak Al Bhed all that well either, but at least I can say a bit more then 'Hello.'

Kyran gave him a pat on the back. 'Oh yeah, that's right! You're mom is half Al Bhed, huh?'

'Yeah.' Cary snorted. 'But she's not the one that taught me. She can't speak Al Bhed all that well. I probably know more then she does.' He said shaking his head disapprovingly. 'My dad taught me. He learned it when he was my mom's guardian.' He turned back towards the girl and took a step forward. She frowned at him and watched him closely, like she was scared that he was going to do something unexpected.

'Re, fru yna oui?' ((Hi, who are you?)) he asked, taking his time on pronouncing the words, afraid that he might say something wrong.

The girl smiled cutely. 'E ys sa.' Was the reply.

Cary narrowed his eyes trying hard to translate the three words she just said to him.

'Well? What did she say?' Kyran asked him impatiently. He never was all that patient, he always needed an answer right away. 'Waiting' or 'patience' didn't exist in his dictionary.

'I'm not sure…'E' means 'I'…'y'…a…am, 'I am…sa me. 'I am me'.' He said, successfully translating the three words she said. He frowned though, so did Kyran.

'I am me? What does that mean?' The white haired boy asked confused.

'I don't know.' He said as he stared at the Al Bhed girl.

She tilted her head to the left and smiled again before turning around to tinker with a machina that was lying on the floor, like the two of them weren't even there.

'Kyran, Cary!'

The two boys swirled around at the sound of their names. It was Gippal who called them, he stood there near the large doors of the temple with the entire group behind him.

The two of them exchanged glances and walked over to the group. But not before Cary had cast a last glance at the girl in the corner.

'Hey you two, what were you doing over there?' Gippal asked them curiously.

Kyran was the one that stepped up. He shrugged his shoulders lightly. 'Just talking to this girl.'

Cary looked over to his parents that stood next to each other. He noticed that his mother was looking at him with saddened eyes. He shook his head annoyingly and looked down at the floor.

'What girl?' Tylian, Kyran's twin sister asked. She stepped up from behind her mother and now stood next to Kyran. She looked at him with big hazel eyes.

'The girl in the corner.' He said, flicking his sister on the forehead. 'Don't be so nosy all the time, it's annoying.'

'Auw!' She yelped, grabbing her forehead. 'Mom!'

Paine sighed but didn't respond, she gave up on it a long time ago. After playing cop between the two of them for 12 whole years, she decided that it was time for them to solve their problems their own way.

Gippal chuckled at the twins. 'Alright. Uhm, everyone.' He said, trying to get everyone's attention back. 'I don't think it's wise to go over there all at the same time. She's a little…shy…she gets uncomfortable when a lot of people are near her. So I suggest that the kids stay behind, while the rest of us go over there.'

Everyone agreed.

'Okay then.' Gippal said and placed one hand on his side. 'Tylian, Kyran and Cary, the three of you can wait in the application room over there.' He said pointing towards the door that was on the right side of the staircase. 'Or you can wander around a bit.'

The kids nodded, while the others gathered around Gippal.

'The four of you can wait in my office, you know where it is.' Gippal said. 'I'll bring her over, alright?'

The group of four started to walk towards the door on the left side of the stairs.

Gippal sighed as he remained behind. He looked over at the dark corner where the girl in question was tinkering.

'Aqlica sa.' ((Excuse me)) Gippal said as soon as he stood beside her.

The girl didn't even look up. 'Oac?' ((Yes?)) She continued her work.

'Drana yna cusa baubma E't mega oui du saad.' ((There are some people I'd like you to meet.)) He said watching her carefully.

She kept on working on the machina, turning it around to place a small bolt on it's right position. 'Fru?' ((Who?))

'Zicd cusa baubma.' ((Just some people)) He said kneeling down beside her.

She turned the bolt one last time before she put it back down. 'Tuha.' She said and smiled triumphantly. She put away the tools she had been using and whipped the sweet off her forehead. 'Huf du bicr drec yht...' ((Now to push this and…)) She said pushing a little green button. At an instant the machina jumped to live and started walking around. It made the girl squeal in delight and she looked up at Gippal with an oversized grin.

Gippals face fell as he looked at the girl. She looked so much like her, he felt like he couldn't breathe when she smiled at him.

'Huf…' She said while she stood up. With her hands she dusted the dirt off her shorts. 'Mad'c ku saad cusa baubma.' ((Now…let's go meet some people))

The letter

I never really thought that people would miss me when I had just left.

They searched for me for two years, two whole years…but they didn't notice that I was gone for a long while before those two years of searching.

You think people know you, that people care about you.

And then you hear something like that, and you know that it was all a lie.

That it was all fake.

You know how long it took them before they noticed?

A month…a month after I left someone started asking around.

'Gee, I haven't seen her in a while…do you know where she is?'

I felt so sad…

I never felt so sad in my life.

And you know who that someone was?

…

My brother.

My brother! Out of all the people I know, it was my brother who noticed…after a whole month!

I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the news.

Yes I have a sphere screen, I didn't turn into a naturist.

You'd think that it isn't so weird that a brother would be the first to notice (even if it's after a month) but you see…I never had a good bond with my brother. We always fought and we never really got along all that well.

He used to tease on me when I was just four or five years old. You know…the brother and sister kind of stuff.

When I grew older I was the one that teased on him.

He never really liked that transition.

I never cared.
