I sat down on my bed reading a book Felidae had given me. It's been a few days since I saw Eclipse. I have been out a little more but whenever I since Finitevus coming, I hi-tail it back to my room. But I haven't seen him. Actually, he has knocked on my door once or twice but I say nothing and just sit there.
And today I thought would be no different. I think about packing up and leaving. Start a life somewhere like New Mobotropolice or something like that. I could beg for forgiveness from the Chaotix… and believe it or not Legionnaire came to my mind once…but I quickly dismissed that idea.
"How about ruins of Albion?" I asked myself. There where echidnas there now, trying to rebuild their home. I could help. Move wreckage, supplies and stuff, especially with my cybernetics. I closed the book and started to get off my bed when I heard footsteps coming down the hall towards my room. I closed my eyes and right away picked up Finitevus Aura.
He walked up to my door and knocked. First thing I noticed was he usually hesitates before knocking, and he also knocked harder like he was…sort of angry or something. I sighed and slowly walked to the door but I paused and sighed. I then turned away and started to walk back to my bed but to my surprise he opened the door and walked inside.
I turned to say something but he tossed me a back pack and I caught it in air. "What's this?" I asked. My voice was kind of quiet for not talking in a while but he ignored it and said "Pack up your stuff girl." I stared at him shocked. I blinked in surprise and asked "W-what?"
Finitevus turned and said "Grab all of your belonging and go." I felt my knees shake. He was kicking me out? He walked around the room picking up my journal, the Anubis Statue, anything that wasn't clothes and he placed them in front of me along with a Warp ring. Only this Warp ring was blue, not gold.
I looked up at him but he was already heading out of the room. But he paused at the door and said "I've kept that special Warp ring in reserve. Good for one last trip." I picked it up and looked it over. It was a lighter shade then my Aura and it felt lighter than the other rings. "Why is it special?" I asked and Finitevus tighten his hand into a fist then spoke.
"It…it will take you back to your world." I took a sharp breath and then turned my attention back to the ring. This can take me home.
"So…so just go. Get out and go home." Finitevus said and walked out of the room and disappeared into the dark hall. I stared after where he had gone and then I thought to myself. I then stood up, packed some clothes and my belongings. This is what I wanted! I can go home!
I stood up and then held out the Warp ring. I got ready to open it but I stopped. My hand started to shake as I stared at the ring. Then I closed my eyes and dropped it on the ground. It hit and gave off a clinging sound. I dropped to the floor sitting.
This is what I wanted from day one. And it's finally here…but then…why don't I want to go now? I looked at the ring and picked it up once again. Go home… I closed my eyes and thought to myself. I put down the backpack and remembered what Eclipse had said.
My family might not even be alive. I mean… the plan was going down…it could have crashed and…and…I held my head thinking and then I sighed and stood up. Holding the Warp ring tightly in my hand and walked out of my room. I closed my eyes and then opened them. I took a regular Warp ring and opened it. I then walked through and walked out on top of the temple.
There was Finitevus with his back turned to me. Without turning around he said "I told you to go home Kate." I walked up closer to him and then he turned around and faced me. I handed him the Warp ring and said "I am home, and my name is Celty,"
A look of surprise crossed his face and then asked "I thought you wanted to return to your world." I nodded and said "I did…but there isn't anything left for me there…and here…I have friends, a home, and…and you." Finitevus didn't say anything, but he had somewhat of a guilty look. He then said "Well, I am glad to hear that Celty…and I want you to know…that I am truly sorry…"
I closed my eyes to stop any tears from coming and I said "I…I forgive you Finitevus…but I don't think I can trust you completely again." Finitevus frowned and then I looked at his golden eyes and said "But through it all, even what has happened…I still love you."
I watched as he smiled and then he said "And…I must admit…I do have feelings for you too Celty…I…I love you as well." This time…this time his words where true. I smiled and then thought about something. Then my smile half faded and I said "I've thought to myself about this for a while…and I decided…the best part of life is helping others with theirs. So I'll do it Finitevus."
He gave me a confused look and asked "Do what, Celty?" I bit the bottom of my lip and took a deep breath. "I'll be the next Enerjak…"
