Hey guys!
Thanks for all the reviews!
Let me just point out again, for those who seem to be in confusion:
Arkarian did not get kidnapped. So, there was no need to save him. Isabel did not get the anti-aging gift. Therefore, they did not get together. They moved on with their lives (or so it seems.)
There is no cheating, no breaking up--they weren't together in the first place! (If you are still not clear, PM me so I can clear it up!)
Alright--this chapter is really short and I apologize!
It was so long in coming because a month ago I had surgery on my left ring finger. With a big bandage and stitches in, its really hard to type (especially for me), so I wasn't able to write any of this until tonight. This summer is long--and this summer I have no class--so hopefully I will be able to update a lot on this! Thanks!
Chapter Three:
Arkarian
There was nothing in the world that matter to me than the smells that were coming through my nostrils. I could smell the warm cakes of my childhood; ones I would admire from the baker's window but could never buy. Then came the stench of rust, as I killed my opponent during a mission. The fragrance of flowers drifted through as I remember how Sera was killed by going after Marduke's iris.
Just as the wavering intensity of her strawberry shampoo came to mind, I awaken to a noise that causes me to groan.
The sphere has started to spin, once again. There came a time when I thought that all of the Order business would be over, but, alas, it isn't. I get dressed and go to wait out its revolution.
It comes to stop on a house at the end of a lonely lane. I recognize at once who it belongs to: the Beckets. Inside, the sphere zooms in on a sixteen-year-old Isabel as she comes home from school to find an empty home. She drops her backpack, and plops down upon a beaten leather couch.
This has me wondering. Why would the Order need to visit this teen at exactly this year? Surely there are more important people to change the future with?
My mind has to turn off my heart as I wonder what would happen if they managed to injure, or even kill, Isabel.
Getting back to business, I send my thoughts to Matt, telling him that I request a Guard meeting immediately tomorrow. He thinks back a confirmation, and I sigh.
This mission is going to be challenging; of course, since this is the first attack-mission the Order has scheduled since the Final Battle. This means there will be more; perhaps a new leader has taken charge? Hopefully, however, things will not come to that, and there will be no need to tell Isabel of whats happening. And there will be no need to remind me once again of a life I will never maintain.
Again, kind of short and kind of crappy, but hey--I need to get back in the swing of writing this.
So, here's a poll for you--
How do you want Arkarian to come into contact with the adult Isabel for the first time in years?
Review with your thoughts on it, and if its good enough, I'll use it in here! (My creative juices aren't flowing enough today, ha ha)
