Can't Live Without You

"Gregor wrung his hands nervously. This was a bad idea. A very bad idea. So many things could go wrong-and what if they did? He might not be able to come back to New York ever again! And yet…he had to see her. He had finally admitted to her, and himself, that he loved Luxa". Gluxa. Happens after end of series.

A/N: Hope you like this chapter! Reviews are appreciated. :)

Finally she pushed aside her worry and entered the tunnel, slipping into the darkness. Immediately after closing the tunnel she turned on her flashlight, letting the light slice through the black surrounding her. She hadn't even taken a step forward before her mind starting screaming, goback,goback! She wanted to listen to that so badly, but she couldn't. The underlanders were the only ones that could help her dad and she would find a way for them to do so.

Even with her firm determination to keep on going, fear answered to every sound that echoed through the area. The clinks of falling pebbles, or even her own footsteps caused her to spin around, only to realize, once again, it was nothing of concern. After she walked as far as she could, she stopped, wondering what to do. Should she sit there and hope someone came back? Maybe Gregor was on his way. But she didn't believe it. She had to do something and yet she had no where to go.

Gregor stopped at the area where he had first come to the underland and sat on the ground. He remembered it clearly, his confusion when upon being escorted by giant cockroaches, he saw giant bats flipping through the air. It was also the first time he saw Luxa. His first thoughts were Idon'tthinkI'mgonnalikeher.

Now there were one or two people there, none of whom he knew. He watched them practice with a blank expression as he tried to understand what was happening. It was hard to think straight because after running so long his head was certainly in pain.

Ok, he needed to start from what he knew. He knew who that rat was. He remembered seeing him carry Luxa and a bat into a tunnel branching from the main one when he came to meet her. The bat was most likely Aurora. He would ignore his feeling that the rat was the same as the one that took Luxa, considering he was half conscious when he saw the rat, but he recognized the laugh. Other than that the rat wasn't familiar at all. But why was he here?

Well, if you kidnap someone there are usually reasons you did. Also, considering Luxa was the queen of Regalia it was probably for ransom. What money wouldn't you pay for the president's return? Same probably went for the rulers down here- they were valuable. Gregor tried to keep his anger under control as he thought about all this, but he already wanted to go punch something.

And once again it was all his fault. If he had just let her go on with her life, she wouldn't be in this situation. Who knew what kind of conditions she was in; it made him sick to think about it. She probably was starving; possibly unconscious.

Well, as he knew before, sometime he'd have to admit he knew what had happened. He'd have to explain it was all his fault. Now might be a good time. But he couldn't get himself to get up. He just sat there.
