Chapter 4
Gregor caught up to Luxa. She was with Temp. Gregor looked at himself. He looked a mess. Bags were under his eyes. He seemed like he had a rough night because he did.
"Hey buddy-meaning Temp- how're you?"
"Fine,I be, fine,"Temp said.
"Dad, are you okay. I know you may not want me to bring it up since I'm am only twelve, but I must know. What did "she" do?"Luxa asked.
"Hey Gregor," Mareth came in."You may have an hour to speak to Julianna. Then ,Luxa, you get an hour."
"Hey Mareth. I see you now have a metal leg. How're you?" Gregor smiled weakly.
"I fair well. Yes I like my new leg. It has suited me well. I am now head of war council,"Mareth smiled.
"Cool. Um... Where is Vikus?"Gregor asked. Then he heard Temp clicking like he did for Tick.
Mareth's lips pressed together, "You can visit him later. Come, I will escort to the dungeons."
Mareth took him to the dungeon and let Julie come to a glass-not sound proof- cellar so Gregor and Julie could talk.
"I can't believe you Julianna Lexie Cloping!" Gregor used Julie's maiden name since he hated her at the moment.
"I didn't do it! I've been framed!"
"By who?!"
"Nerissa!!!"
"Nope! Nerissa is not like that!"
"Fine I did it, but Gorger was so.."
"You were denying it and now you admitted it!"
"Oh I bet you kept secrets from me!"
"No I didn't! My only secret was the Underland and I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING!!!!"
Julie started crying uncontrollably. "I'm *sniff" sorry! *sniff* I love -hiccupe- you!!"
"I did love you,"Gregor growled.
"Your hour is almost up,"Mareth said.
"Here keep my wedding ring,"Julie whispered. She slid it under a hole on the bottom of the cellar. Gregor picked it up and fisted his hand up with the ring in it.
"Why?"
"To remember me. I'm going to die."
"Good-bye,"Gregor said leaving. Julie started crying.
"Luxa it is your turn,"Mareth said.
Gregor ran. He ran up to Luxa's room. Luxa turned around and saw him. Gregor got down on one knee and said," Marry me Luxa."
