Well here is chapter three. Not my best chapter but enjoy!!
Again, DutchAver is the man! Thanks buddy ;)
It was raining and Isaac and his companions finally stepped out of Vale, leaving the beautiful village behind. This time Isaacs mother and father were there to see him off, something that touched him deeply. The last words Dora had said to him had shocked him slightly.
"Watch out for Ivan and Sheba, Isaac. Their fighting could hurt the group."Ever since they have arrived back home, all the adepts that were not from Vale saw Dora as a mother figure. That is, except Piers. Everyone had heard about the fight between the Jupiter adepts yet only Mia and Isaac knew the reason behind the fight. Ivan had told Isaac.
"This is a bad day to start to travel." Isaac thought. "It's wet, miserable, there is an awkward silence and Jenna looks ready to torch Garet. She hates the rain, what that has to do with Garet is anyone's guess..."
"Lunch time!" Came the call from Mia. Sheba barely heard her; she hadn't taken notice of much notice of anything since she last spoke to Ivan. It had stopped raining and the group was near the top of the cliff. Sheba was sitting on a rock a fair distance away from the group, looking over the cliff and using the view as a distraction from Ivan. She had refused to talk to anyone since the day before and this was starting to worry everyone.
The group was sitting in a circle, all talking to each other. Jenna noticed that Sheba was alone.
"Ivan, go and tell her lunch is ready." She said. There was complete silence.
"Wha-?" Ivan started.
"Just do it." Jenna growled. Ivan knew better than to argue with Jenna so he got up and walked over to Sheba.
"That was a bad idea, Jenna." Felix scolded, "That could make things worse." Mia shook her head.
"They have to talk sometime, Ivan looks so sad all the time and Sheba won't talk to anyone." All six adepts looked over to watch Ivan make his way to Sheba.
"Sheba?" Ivan was as nervous as he had ever been.
"What?" Came the cold reply.
"Lunch is ready." There was silence, not helping Ivans nervousness.
"Okay, just letting you know," He finished.
"That's it? That?s all he has to say?" Anger rose up in Sheba. Why can't he just say sorry? That is all she wanted from him now, not a notice that lunch was ready. She turned around to watch him walk away and decided to find a use for her built up anger.
"SHINE PLASMA"!! She yelled furiously. The lightning hit Ivan in the back and sent him sprawling. He blacked out with one last thought in his head:
"I should have taken my chances with Jenna."
Sheba heard shocked cries from the other adepts and saw them running towards Ivan. All except Isaac, who was running towards her.
"SHEBA!!" He called, "What the hell were you thinking!" Sheba looked back to the figure of Ivan lying on the ground and realised what she had really done to her friend.
"Oh no, Ivan?" She ran over to Ivan and knelt beside him. "Oh Ivan, I'm so sorry." She said softly.
She didn't know how but Sheba felt worse now than she had before. It was dinnertime and they still had not travelled anywhere because Ivan was still unconscious. She could feel the eyes of all the adepts on her, that is except for Mia, who was in one of the tents busy tending to Ivan for the second time in as many days. "Because of me...again" The Jupiter adept thought miserably. "I'm going to bed," She announced. She got up and went into the tent she shared with Jenna. Soon she was asleep.
"Seriously, what the hell is going on?" Asked Garet. "Why the hell would Sheba attack Ivan? I know they're fighting about something secret, and I think you know something about it Isaac but what's so bad that she had to zap Ivan halfway to hell?" Mia had emerged from the tent and joined the circle.
"Garet, I know what is happening with Ivan and Sheba but I don't think that everyone should know. This is their problem, let them deal with it." Isaac looked at her.
"Mia, look at this! We cannot move because Ivan is out of it. This is something we need to fix. This fight is tearing him apart inside and Sheba won't talk to anyone."
"What are you saying?" Mia asked.
"I'm saying that everyone needs to be aware of what is going on, perhaps we could think of a solution." Isaac replied.
After a moment of thought Mia agreed and Isaac told the full story of what had happened. After he finished there was silence,
"What was he thinking? Telling her that she was weak because she is a girl" Piers said, breaking the silence.
"Piers think for a moment," This time it was Jenna. "Ivan thought that he would be teased by you boys because he was hurt badly by a girl, so he had to hide the bruise right? He wasn't saying 'Sheba, you're weak.' He knows that she is stronger than most mentally," Jenna looked directly towards Garet "I think he was trying to say 'Sheba, you are physically the smallest in the group' and who can deny that she is?" Understanding dawned upon the boys...Except Garet.
"So what?" he asked, "If that is what he meant then why is Sheba upset enough to Zap him?"Felix rolled his eyes
"Because Sheba didn't think that way, she thought that Ivan saw her as weak overall. I think that there is something else too..." He smiled slightly. Mia had caught on to what Felix was saying.
"Well, there could be that too." She said, also smiling.
"What? What are you talking about?" It was Garet...again.
"Don't take this as the truth but, Sheba could like Ivan, imagine hearing that you are weak from someone you have feelings for? Wouldn't that hurt you?" Felix said. "This could explain why she is so upset." Piers and Garet laughed
"What? Sheba and Ivan? Why would any girl want to date that midget?" Garet said, still laughing.
"GARET!! Don't you see? This sort of talk is what landed us into this mess! Ivan was so worried about what people thought of him, he hurt one of his best friends!!" Jenna yelled "I know you like Ivan, you like him quite a lot. So why do you tease him all the freaking time? I understand a joke but you, out of everyone take it too far!!" The air around Jenna was heating up and Garet was left shocked and speechless. "I'm going to bed." She announced and she turned around and went inside the same tent Sheba was asleep inside.
Everyone decided to go to bed and the only two people remaining was Garet and Isaac. Isaac knew what was going through his friends mind "Don't worry buddy," He said. "You know Jenna, she's just letting off steam." Garets reply was a small grunt. Isaac looked up at the stars and with his mums last words she said to him in mind promised, "Tomorrow I will do everything I can to fix this."
Wow, I liked writhing the first half of this chapter but the second half I'm not too sure about...
