Chapter 4

Eva's POV

So I have five days left to show Aikka around. Todays plan is the beach! I haven't been there for so long. We're now sitting on the bus. Wait, did I remember everything? I have my camera, my video camera, basket of sandwiches, friend chicken, and French fries, a cooler with soda and water, two towels, a beach blanket, an umbrella, sunglasses, extra clothes, swimsuit, sun tan lotion, my boom box, and Aikka of course. Yeah, I got everything.

"Arriving at Blue Nose Beach."

"That's our stop Aikka." We watched as the bus left, "Looks like we're the only ones to come."

"Is that bad?"

"Nope, in fact it's great cause then we don't have to worry about running into people, getting Frisbees throne at us, and little kids crying, not that I can't understand that children cry, it's just that it disturbs the relaxing process."

"Well, it's my first time so I'm willing to give it a try either way."

"Another good thing about no one else being here is that we don't have to worry about someone recognizing you. Now lets head to the changing rooms." I wonder what swimsuit Samantha gave Aikka. Wait, what if she gave him a speedo?! I would have freakin heart attack if I saw him like that. I know I haven't known him that long but come on, he's without a doubt hot, kind, smart, clever, talented, and respects me instead of trying to steal kisses from me while I'm defenseless like some of the guys at the boarding school did! Well, not all of them were like that at least. Especially not Firo.

Flashback

It's all right Eva, he's probably busy. That's why he won't call you even on your thirteenth birthday.

Bonk. "Who the hell just threw something at me?!"

"That would be me." A boy laughed.

"Oh, Firo." I blushed, I don't have a crush on him or anything, but he's sorta like a big brother to me.

"Sorry about that Eva, but you were getting lost in your thoughts again. We can't have that on your birthday now, can we."

"Maybe so, but you didn't have to throw something at me! Why can't you be a bit more low profile like the other guys?"

"You mean like the guys who tried to rape you yesterday?" Damn it! I thought he forgot about that. "Come on, lets go."

We were sitting on the roof of the school, watching the sunset. Firo's mom sent us a small cake for my birthday. "Look," I sighed, "I am happy that you're not like the other guys, I really am."

"I know, it's just, well you just have to be careful. There are a lot of cruel people in this world, and although I've been able to keep those guys in line, I won't be able to do that forever."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm a year older than you, so there will be a year when I won't be able to go to school with you. And even if I did end up staying with you forever, I won't be able to fight off everyone that tries to hurt you, hell, I doubt I could fight everyone who tries to hurt me. The truth of the matter is that…"

End of Flashback

"Eva!" Aikka called, "Are you almost done in there?" I almost forgot about Aikka for a sec. Well, better not keep him waiting any longer. "There you are!"

"Hey Aikka!" He was wearing swim sorts, good, I'm not sure how fast an ambulance would reach us out here if I were to faint, and get a bloody nose, and a heart attack, and die. Wait, why was he blushing? I know I'm wearing a bikini, but my body isn't that attracted. Is it? "Am I attracted?"

"What?!"

"Well I was just wondering, that's all."

"To be truthful, um, yes, you are very attractive." He was blushing even harder now.

"You mean it?"

"Of course I do." I started to hug him.

"That's soooo sweet! You're so nice Aikka. Even my friend Firo made fun of me from time to time because I had small boobs. It's nice to know not all guys are jerk."

Jordan's POV

I can't believe I'm at the beach, with some pretty good-looking Azulan girls I might add. (Azulan are the species that were the doctors on Alwas) "Hey Jordan," Stan yell, "catch!" he said as he threw a Frisbee. It went behind the rocks. "Jordan! That was our only one."

"Don't worry, I'll go get it." I began to climb over the rocks. Now where is that Frisbee, I got to the other side with ease. Hey there's the Frisbee, in the air still, coming in this direction, heading towards…

BONG! Heading towards my head, it's all right I'm strong; something like a Frisbee won't bring me down.

Bang!

"Are you alright?" I heard a girl's voice.

"Five more minutes mommy."

"Um, I'm not your mom." I slowly began to open my eyes to see a girl with red eyes, red and black hair, and a red star and stripe on the sides of her face. She was kinda cute.

"Hi."

"Don't worry Aikka, he's okay."

"Wait, where am I?"

"Blue Nose Beach. I sorta ran into you, sorry."

"Don't worry about it." I then saw a young Nourasian guy walk up to us. I immediately pushed the girl behind me, "If you want her, you're going to have to go through me."

Bonk! "Why the hell did you hit me in the back of my head? I'm trying to protect you!"

"Aikka's my friend, got it!"

"But they're allies with the Crogs!"

"So, we're allies with the Phils!"

"What's wrong with the Phils!"

"Jordan!" Koji called, "How about you and your friends come to this side!"

Eva's POV

So far these guys are okay. They're not like Jordan at least. I talked to Koji and Stan about mechanics and such. Rick and Rush were very friendly. Para-dice scares me. Jordan's an idiot. Right now I'm sitting next to Aikka talking about what we would do for the next four days.

"Hey Molly!" I almost forgot that I gave them that fake name, but Rick knows my dad.

"What is it Jordan?" I groaned.

"How about a race?"

"Fine. From where to where?"

"From your beach blanket to the other side of the beach and then back."

"Over or around the rocks?"

"Over."

"You're on! Come on Aikka"

"Very well, just be prepared to be disappointed princess."

"On your marks," Rush said, "get set, go!" we all started at the same pace, but as we got closer to the rocks Rick and Aikka took the lead, leaving Koji, Stan, Jordan, and I behind. Jordan reached third on the rocks with me right behind. We all made it to the other side of the island and were now running back. We were at the rocks again. Jordan, Aikka, and Rick were beginning to slow down. It's my chance to take the lead. I crawled closer to the side near the water seeing that the rocks on that side are easier to climb, I passed Jordan when I laughed, "You better watch out Aikka, you're slowing down!"

"Molly, don't!" he didn't have to say anymore. The rocks were wet from being closer to the water. I tried to keep a grip, but I couldn't I fell. "Molly!" I heard everyone scream, but it sounded so distant. Maybe I was already dieing before I even hit the water. From where the sun once was there was now a shadow. Perhaps it was the grim reaper to claim his new prize. I felt his arms beginning to wrap around my body, it felt nice. Was it supposed to feel like this? I felt his arms tighten when I hit the water. It went black.

Surprised? Would you like to know who or what was the mysterious shadow?

And what's Aikka's thought on Eva's falling? Well to find out, you'll have to review for me to post the next chapter.
