Thank you so much everyone for the reviews. I was planning on uploading this chapter maybe next week but when I saw those reviews I was like 'Oh, I have 15 reviews! Yay!' That fired me to finish this chapter. I know it took so long, sorry for that. School and other stuff is interfering plus I think my writing spirit was sucked from me temporarily so I couldn't write this chapter continuously.
Thanks also for the reviews from 'In Darkstar's Shadow' and in this story. I've improved how I write a bit and I hope it's not as choppy as my first ever chapter I've written in my first story. I was just so used to writing plays and stuff so it's all dialogue and not much writing of the actions.
I just blabbered right now..hehe...sorry but thanks for bearing with me through all this time.
~~~IMPORTANT PART OF A/N~~~~~~~~PLEASE READ BELOW~~~~~~~~
Again, to those who think this is not going to be Gwevin in the end, I know it doesn't seem like it's getting there so please be patient with me. What's a relationship without problems, right? Plus, I'm a fan of love triangles but I'm also a fan of Gwevin. So...
...without further author's notes, here's the chapter you've all been waiting for...DRUMROLL
CHAPTER 7!
CHAPTER 7
Be Worried?
...flashes of camera lights exploded around us. Cameras! They were video taping the whole thing! They were surrounding us, cornering us just to get better shots of us. I turned to look at Michael who was beside me.
Darkstar's POV
We've caught the bad guys and now...this is what awaits us heroes. Is this what it feels like to be a hero? Then I like it. I should join up with Gwen and her team.
I stared at her once more, her perplexed visage shown, then I realized what I had to do.
Gwen's POV
I looked away from him once more and at the camera crew when a hand found it's way to my arm and pulled me gently. More like tugging, actually. I turned around to face Darkstar, the owner of the hand. His eyes unrelenting for me to follow him. His face gentle and bright as the morning sun glowed from above. He tightened his grip on my arm and led me away from the crowd. I realized what he was doing.
"Thank you," I mouthed to him then made my manna panels to lift us up away from the crowd of passersby, cameras and civilians. I knew that they would leave us alone if we just walked away. Nope, they wouldn't leave us alone even if we ran away from them. At least this way, though, they would never be able to follow us.
Darkstar's POV
She mouthed a 'thank you' to me. Ha! I knew she wanted out. It's so like her not to accept the fame being given to her. Sigh...she is very admirable.
Then something jolted me from my thoughts. The sound of police cars roving in with their annoying and ear-deafening sirens. The culprits!
Then I held Gwen's hand to signal her to stop for a moment.
Gwen's POV
I was concentrating intently so as not to stop my manna panels when a hand, the same feeling as the one that held my arm a while ago, held mine. It was Michael of course.
He wanted me to stop. Why? But I did just so.
As I stopped my panels from levitating any higher, he let go of my hand and jumped below, the hard cement road welcoming his fall.
"Michael!" I cried loud enough so he could hear me. Then I looked down to where he may have fallen. There he was, as I've known, on the ground, surprisingly he wasn't hurt. He was standing there in front of where the police car was screeching to a halt.
Michael! Are you insane? I closed my eyes. He's gonna be crushed!
Eeeeekk...
Then the screeching stopped. I opened my eyes to see Michael standing in front of the police car with it just inches away from colliding with his lower torso.
Phew. I sighed with relief. He's unharmed.
Then, I let my panels slowly drop down with me on it to where Michael was standing, completely unfazed, if I might add.
As my foot stepped on the ground, Michael walked forward to the officer. They were talking but I couldn't make out a word. Then the officer shook my companion's hand with a smile on his face.
"Get those men, and put them in the back," the officer hollered at his other two comrades. This I heard perfectly. The two policemen then dragged the men that were chained with my spell into the automobile.
Michael then made his way out toward me, smiling widely now, proud of what he did I suppose.
"Hey," he called out coolly with me staring wide-eyed. "Let's go then?"
We started walking now, strolling and indulged in our surroundings.
"What were you guys talking about back there?" I asked, curious. Obviously I inferred about what they were talking about earlier but I just wanted to hear him say it.
"Hmm? Oh...well, I just told the officers that we caught the bad guys. That's all," he replies, smiling afterwards.
"Is that it?"
"Yep."
"You could have almost killed yourself a while ago, you know!"
Darkstar's POV
At that remark, I knew what she meant. She cares. I tingled a bit on the inside. She really cares.
I felt a light blush appear on my cheeks. Can't let her see me like this. So I buried that blush with my usual smug.
"But I wasn't now, right?" I replied with a proud tone.
Her eyebrow rose, then it subsided.
"Yeah, but still...I was..."
She stopped her sentence. I turned to look at her.
Gwen's POV
Worried. I finished in my head.
Shouldn't say that out loud now should I.
I reprimanded myself. Why did I think that?
"Gwen?"
The sudden call of my name snapped me back to reality and back beside Michael.
"Gwen? Are you alright?" Michael asked with a hint of anxiety.
"Yeah," I responded.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"You were going to say something after that."
"Oh." Right, my sentence. I thought as I mentally face-palmed. I can't finish that. That's gonna give him a wrong impression.
Darkstar's POV
I can see that she confused right now, uneasy really. Should I remind her what she said? No, Gwen's pretty smart, she already figured it out. So what's keeping her from continuing?
So after a few seconds of arguing with myself over this dilemma, I decided to relieve her of her agitation.
"Alright!" I declared with confidence, shocking Gwen out of her trance. "Would you mind having a brunch with me?"
There we go, not much of a cliffhanger compared to the 6th chapter :D
And I'm also thinking if naming each chapter, and I think I'll name the other chapters in this story,too. If it's not appropriate just review and tell me, ok? I won't get mad, I promise. :)
I accept anonymous reviews in case some of you were wondering. I'm not writing for the fame I'll get. I'm just writing to express my feelings that can't come out through words. I also would just want to know if there are people reading my story so I would know how fast I should upload the next chapter.
:3
