The Mysterious Traveler
Hey guys!
Alright, so I managed to get this one done. I meant for there to be more to this installment, but it got so big that I had to move some of it onto a new chapter. As I said before, I'm trying to keep these chapters shorter. Been doing a 'not-so-good' job of that sometimes, but this one was hitting the limit and so I choose to put the rest into the next one.
I hope you are enjoying the story. And I apologize to those who feel that this is feeling a little bit like a 'retelling of the tv show'. I don't mean for it to be, but I also don't want to stray too far that it doesn't feel like the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I can tell you that this is the chapter that starts to diverge (hopefully in a good way) and hinting at more to come.
Once again, I'd like to remind all of you that if you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend watching it. I will be relying heavily on it.
I do not own 'Harry Potter' or 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'. All of this is just for fun.
Enjoy reading Chapter 10!
Chapter Ten:
The Spirit World
Severus was quite happy with the way how things were going. It seemed that Aang had forgotten about his plans to search for creatures to ride and had now turned his attention to showing off around Katara. The act from the Airbender reminded him of someone similar, but at least he could say that these attempts to woo the Waterbender were no where near as annoying or as painful to what he experienced. And best of all, they didn't involve messing with him. So he could ignore the kid's naïve annoyance with some ease. To an extent.
Traveling over the lands of the Earth Kingdom, the gang had made much better progress on their journey for the Northern Water Tribe, now that they were halfway. And it was definitely for the best too. Since their little adventure of breaking Earthbending prisoners from the rig, Severus knew that they had sent up a flare for the enemy to come looking for them. And he wanted to put as much distance between them as possible.
While flying over a forest, and after a stupid stunt from Aang, they came across a scorched area of burnt trees, catching their attention. Wanting to check it out, they landed and searched the area, finding no life of any kind in sight. And as Sokka had said, it was definitely like a scar.
Severus was surprised when Aang fell to his knees, a sadness entering his voice when he spoke of how it was his fault for everything that had happened, and that he didn't know how to do his job as the Avatar. It was a moment that made Severus realize why he tolerated the boy over many others from his past. It was because of his willingness to acknowledge his faults and guilt, including how serious he acted when it came to things like this. For someone who had the traits of a Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff, he had a surprising sense of responsibility.
As they decided to take a rest from flying, he watched as Katara tried to comfort Aang, using acorns to get his attention by throwing one at him. He couldn't help but smile when she threw another at Sokka for finding it funny. Using the acorns as evidence, she told him that life would return to the forest one day, which cheered him up.
The peaceful moment wasn't to last as an elderly man came walking up towards them, approaching the Airbender with a look of relief and happiness in his eyes. Though Sokka was startled by the man's sudden appearance, Severus knew that he was no harm to them. Though, he kept his wand hidden within the sleeves of his robes for safekeeping.
When the old man asked if Aang was the Avatar, he was overjoyed when he confirmed it, begging his help for a situation.
Even though Severus was willing to hear the old man out, he was irritated when the others agreed to help him and were suddenly heading towards the man's village without even asking what the problem was.
Sighing to himself, he made a mental note to speak to them about this later.
When they reached a small village, they found buildings torn apart, debris of rocks and wood on the ground. The sight put Severus's mind at ease, happy that they weren't walking into a trap, but it also raised a new worry as well.
What exactly were they up against this time?
Landing Appa on the outskirts of the walls that went around the village, they followed the old man into a large building, one that was untouched. Walking on through the front doorway, Aang was introduced to the people inside, being addressed as the Avatar.
This made Severus groan, trying to control himself from doing or saying something harsh. But he still couldn't help but criticize how stubborn and naïve everyone was. Going around and announcing the Avatar was in town was great way of attracting unwanted attention. Not to mention blindly walking into a situation they didn't even know the details to wasn't smart.
A man walked to them and bowed, "The rumors of your return are indeed true. It is the greatest honor of a lifetime to be in your presence."
"Nice to meet you too," Aang bowed in return. "So... is there something I can help you with?"
The man's smile faded, "I'm not sure."
"Our village is in a crisis," the old man declared. "He's our only hope to make it stop."
The other man sadly nodded.
Turning back to them, the old man resumed, "For the last few days at sunset, a spirit monster comes and attacks our village. His name is Hei Bai, the Black and White Spirit."
"Why is it attacking you?" Sokka asked.
"We do not know," the other man replied, walking up to the doorway and staring at the sunset. "But each of the last three nights, he has abducted one of our own. We are especially fearful because the Winter Solstice draws near."
The last part caught Severus's attention.
"What happens then?" Katara asked.
"When a Solstice approaches, Winter or Summer, the Natural World and the Spirit World grow closer and closer, until the line between them is blurred completely. Hei Bai is already causing devastation and destruction. Once the Solstice is here, there is no telling what will happen."
"So what do you want me to do exactly?" Aang asked, completely dumbstruck and clueless.
Severus rolled his eyes, annoyed that he couldn't figure it out.
The old man stepped up in front of him, "Who better to resolve a crisis between our world and the Spirit World than the Avatar himself? You are the great bridge between man and spirits."
"Right. That's me," the Airbender sheepishly smiled, making Severus shake his head.
"Hey, Great Bridge Guy," Katara whispered to him. "Can we talk to you over here for a second?"
Finding a small area to themselves, they all looked at the Airbender with worry.
"Aang, you seem a little unsure about all of this," said Katara.
"Well, yeah. That might be because I don't know anything at all about the Spirit World and also this whole Avatar thing, other than saving the world."
They all looked at each other before turning their attention back to him, which only pressed his buttons.
"It's not like there's someone I know who can teach me this stuff guys!"
Severus frowned, "But surely your culture and the other Three Nations have an idea on how it all works. You were reborn thousands of times already."
"But I failed to follow those teachings like the others did, not to mention my entire culture got wiped out! Its been more than a hundred years since an Avatar went through the cycle of training!"
"Okay, back to the situation at hand," Katara interrupted. "Can you help these people, Aang?"
"Well, I have to try, don't I? Maybe whatever I have to do will just... come to me."
Momo hopped onto Aang's shoulder, purring against him.
Katara smiled, weakly, "Well, I think you can do it, Aang."
"Yeah," Sokka said with sarcasm. "We're all going to get eaten by a spirit monster, aren't we?"
Severus shook his head at him, So much for encouragement.
Zuko stood at the helm of his warship, which was docked in a small village of the coastline. He was waiting for Uncle Iroh to show back up, after leaving him out in the forest in his little self-made hot springs tub and threatening to sail away without him if he didn't meet his deadline. But after several hours of waiting, he began to worry, even feeling guilty for being so harsh in his threat.
Sighing, he went to his chambers and dressed in a battle clothing, taking a few of his men as he stepped off his ship and journeyed back into the forest in search of his uncle. Finding the area he last left him, they discovered a pile of rocks where a hot spring used to be, quickly putting together that Earthbending soldiers had captured his uncle.
Sending some of his men back to the warship, Zuko and a few others began tracking Iroh's captors on the back of rhinos.
As the sun began to set in the background, Aang stood at the entrance of the village, waiting for the coming spirit. Severus, Katara, Sokka, and Momo all stayed inside the main building with the villagers, watching with anxiety and dread of what was going to happen. Though Severus was interested in seeing a spirit, he also was worried about the threat this thing posed.
Though Sokka expressed his displeasure of hiding while Aang took the risk of confronting the danger, Severus agreed with the old man that it was best to leave the spirit stuff to the Avatar. However, on the flip side, he also felt that since he didn't know exactly what he was doing, that maybe they should consider interfering just in case if things didn't go well.
Once the sun had set and night took over, everyone was surprised by the no-show of the spirit. Especially Aang, who shouted something out that they couldn't hear and began walking back towards them.
However, the moment Aang had turned his back, something appeared from the forest and a dark shadow followed him.
The sight sent shivers down Severus's spine when he saw this, but it was the moment when the moonlight revealed its description that he truly felt scared. Not for himself, but for the Airbender.
The spirit was huge, black and white, with razor sharp teeth and very large limbs, like an animal. Its face was shaped weird with patterns and hidden eyes that no one could make out. It also had two extra arms on its shoulders. It was something out of a horror film.
Sensing its presence behind him, Aang turned and looked up at it, doing a bow. What his true expression was, no one could know for sure. They heard him say something to it, only for the creature to scream right into his face and a giant light exit its mouth, blowing the dust away. Continuing its scream into the air like an angry beast, it started smashing buildings, even doing a form of teleportation as it went from structure to structure.
Aang tried to run towards the spirit, failing to get its attention as it went on a rampage.
Sokka expressed his frustration again, wanting to go out and help the Airbender in battling the creature, but the old man managed to talk him out of it once more. But the moment Aang was struck by the spirit and sent flying onto the roof of a building, he immediately took out his boomerang and ran out the doors, heading towards the spirit.
As Katara yelled for him to come back, Severus rolled his eyes and took out his wand, following after him.
"Alex!" Katara cried out. "Both of you, get back here!"
Holding in his laugh at Sokka's attack of sending his boomerang at the bum of the monster, he felt a jolt of fear as the spirit turned towards them, letting out a scream.
"Sokka! Alex!" Aang tried to wave them away. "Get a-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the monster teleported right at Sokka and grabbed him.
Eyes widening, Severus casted a few spells and charms at the spirit, only to watch in shock as they all had no effect on it. He immediately realized an even bigger mistake as it turned its attention towards him and teleported in front of him. Before he had the chance to react, one of its arms grabbed ahold of him and began running into the forest with both Sokka and him.
Feeling the world spin around him, he could hear Sokka crying out for help, along with Aang's voice in the background. Keeping a grip of his wand, he tried to stabilize himself, but found it very difficult with how fast the spirit monster was moving. In a split of a second, everything went white right in front of him and he felt something surge within him.
Taking a chance, he pointed his hand at the spirit and shouted out the first spell he could think of. But instead of coming out of his wand, it came from his body, a wave of pure energy being unleashed. It pushed the fingers of the spirit off of him and he felt himself falling. Feeling the ground rush up to greet him, he immediately came to a stop and stayed still to allow the pain to subside. No longer feeling the grip of the monster's hand holding onto him, he blinked and realized he was lying on his stomach.
Getting up, he checked his right hand and saw his wand, relieved he didn't lose it. Turning his attention to his surroundings, he found himself in a grassy field, hearing the sound of a river nearby. But the color of the grass made him frown. It was all sorts of colors, from red to blue, even green-yellow.
Things got even more weirder when he looked up towards the sky, seeing that it was the same as well. All sorts of different colors filled the atmosphere, even moving as if they were like Northern Lights. The surrounding trees had a distinct style to them, looking similar but different from what he was used to seeing. But it was the animals, right down to the bugs and birds, that made Severus feel uneasy.
All sorts of hybrid-like creatures roamed around, passing him by as if he were just like the rest of them.
Deciding to head towards the river, he began to wonder where exactly was he, and what exactly was this mysterious world he had entered.
Hours passed as Katara waited by the entrance of the village, hoping for the return of her brother and two best friends. Laying on the ground, with her knees up against her chest, she began to wonder how everything fell apart so quickly. Two of the most powerful beings she had ever seen went up against the spirit of Hei Bai and were no match for him. And to add to the list, her brother was taken as well.
Now it was just her, Appa and Momo to face the threat if they didn't return.
The very thought of never seeing them again made her cry, holding onto Sokka's boomerang in the palm of her hand.
Later, the old man came to comfort her and placed a blanket around her shoulders, trying to reason that the Avatar would figure things out and save her friends from Hei Bai. As the sun began to rise in the distance, the old man tried to get her to get some rest, but she refused leave, wanting to stay where she was until her friends returned.
A while later, both Appa and Momo joined her, finding comfort in each other as they waited.
Unknown to them, the spirit of Aang had witnessed the whole thing, sad that they couldn't see him and was frustrated by the fact that he had no idea what he was supposed to do.
And like an answer to his prayers, a dragon spirit came to his rescue. Realizing the dragon is the animal guide of Avatar Roku, the Avatar before him, he found himself being taken to the Fire Temple of Crescent Island. Where he's shown that on the day of the Winter Solstice he'll be able to communicate with Roku, who has a message for him.
The hunt for Iroh's kidnappers had become frustrating for Zuko as he and his men continued to track them down. They got lucky the moment they had discovered one of Iroh's sandals, which had been left behind to help in tracking him.
However, Zuko was faced with an important decision as he and his men traveled on the backs of their rhinos.
As they got closer to finding his uncle, one of his men called out to him from behind.
"Sir! There's the Avatar's flying bison!"
Eyes flaring up with determination, Zuko turned and glared at the white animal in the sky, "Finally!"
Just as he began to steer his rhino around, he immediately stopped and looked back towards the footprints that were made by ostrich horses, finding himself at a crossroads. Looking back at the bison in the distance and then back at the road ahead, he sighed and declared, "We can deal with them later! Right now, lets get back to finding my uncle!"
Nodding at his command, they resumed their search.
After having flown Appa over the forest in search of Aang and her friends, Katara returned to the Senlin Village and continued to wait there, slowly beginning to lose hope as the sun began to set in the distance.
However, from the forest came Aang on his glider, landing in front of the main building. Both Katara and Momo rushed out to embrace him, happy that he was alright.
Though saddened that he was unable to save both Sokka and Alex, she reassured him that she believed he would figure things out and save them from Hei Bai.
With nighttime coming again, Aang took his position by the entrance of the village, ready to face the threat once more.
Coming across a large, deep hole that was right next to the rocky road, Zuko and his men finally found the group of Earthbenders they had been hunting. Down at the bottom, five men surrounded a half-naked Iroh, who was chained and forced over a large boulder with his arms stretched out. Above, another large boulder was levitated over him.
Realizing they intended to crush his hands, Zuko jumped off his rhino and rushed down to stop them. Just as one of the Earthbenders allowed the boulder to fall, Zuko launched himself into the air and used his firebending to push the huge rock away with his feet. Landing in the middle, he brought his foot up and made the heel of his metal shoes connect with the chains, breaking them.
Now free, Iroh got into a defense stance, being paralleled by his nephew as they prepared for a fight.
"Excellent form, Prince Zuko."
The Fire Prince half-smiled, "You taught me well."
"Surrender yourselves," the leader of the Earthbending soldiers commanded. "It's five against two. You're clearly out numbered."
Zuko raised an eyebrow, "Who said I came alone?"
Sensing the presence of more hostiles, the Earthbenders looked up to see the three men Zuko brought rushing down to fight them. But their distraction was enough for Iroh and the Fire Prince to make their move. Using his firebending, Zuko took out two of the Earthbenders at once, while Iroh used the loose ends of his long chains to wrap around the others, knocking them down. Meanwhile, the three firebending soldiers all took out the final one together, quickly bringing the fight to an end.
Looking at the unconscious bodies before them, Iroh smiled at his nephew, "Thanks for the rescue."
Zuko nodded, before saying, "Now, can you please put on some clothes?"
"Got left behind when I was taken captive. And I highly doubt any of these gentlemen have anything in my size."
Zuko sighed, "Fine! We'll get you some clothes back at the ship. Lets just get going."
Signaling his men, they began riding back the way they came, with Iroh sharing a rhino with one of the men.
"Sorry for the lack of space," he apologized.
Severus didn't know exactly how long he had been following the river. In fact, he didn't even know if it was still daytime or not. The different forms of colors all around him made everything too confusing to figure out. He thought it was nighttime a while ago, but couldn't be sure enough to know. He wasn't even certain the direction he was heading in was the right way, or if there was one at all.
Taking a break, he rested on a riverbank, listening to the water as it rushed by. He almost fell asleep to its peaceful sound, until he felt the presence of something next to him.
"Hello there."
Spinning around, with his wand aimed directly at the owner of the voice, he met the eyes of a strange creature. Its body was like a green liquid-fluid of some sorts and small, standing about five feet high. It only had three fingers and small hands, despite long arms and legs. The only part of its body that had a solid surface was its head, being able to make facial expressions.
Surprised by his actions, it backed away, "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I was just meaning to ask... why are you here?"
Lowering his wand, but keeping a firm grip on it and his sense sharp, he replied, "I'm not exactly sure. Can you tell me where I am?"
The creature blinked, "The Spirit World."
Suppressing his surprise and worry, he then asked his next question, "Do you know the spirit of Hei Bai?"
He couldn't tell if he pronounced it right.
Eyes widening, the spirit replied, "Oh yes, everyone does. He's the spirit of a forest in the Human World. I've heard he's been kidnapping humans in hopes that they will stop burning down the trees." Its eyes lit up again. "That's why you're here! Hei Bai took you from the Human World to use you as ransom. Though I must ask, why aren't you with the others in their spirit cocoons?"
Severus was unable to find an answer.
"I can take you to Hei Bai's lair, if you want. Just stand still."
Before he could protest, the creature moved its arms around him and they disappeared from the riverbank, appearing in a large cavern a second later. Stumbling backwards, Severus held his wand in front of him, keeping his emotions under control.
"What did you do?" he demanded, glaring at the creature. "Did you just Apparated us?"
The spirit looked at him with confusion in its eyes, "I do not know what you mean by that, but I apologize if I caused you any discomfort. Oh look, there's the humans that Hei Bai has been taking."
Turning around, Severus immediately saw the captive villagers and Sokka inside cocoons of some kind. Their bodies floated in a weird pink, purple-like liguid, though they seemed to be in no pain.
"Why is... Hei Bai doing this?"
"Because the humans have been destroying his forests. So many trees and valleys have been burned, to the point that animals had to leave. Hei Bai heard their cries for help and felt the destruction himself. He's hoping that by destroying the humans' homes and taking some of their people, they will stop this behavior."
Severus shook his head, "I understand his anger, its well justified. But he can't just blame all of humanity for someone else's wrongdoings and punish anyone he just comes across. The Fire Nation is to blame, not the peaceful village."
The spirit didn't respond.
"When will Hei Bai release them?" he asked.
"When he deems necessary."
Severus sighed and took aim at the cocoons with his wand. Casting a couple of spells, he let out a loud cry of frustration when they did nothing to release the prisoners.
"How did you do that?"
Turning around again, he saw shock in the spirit's eyes, but also a realization of some sorts.
"Excuse me?"
"I said, 'how did you do that'? No human has ever been able to perform anything like tha-" the creature's eyes lit up. "You're the one that the Guardian has been looking for!"
Severus raised eyebrow at the spirit, "What-"
"No time to explain! I need to take you to the Infinite Waters and present you to him! Quick, before Hei Bai finds and imprisons you in one of those cocoons!"
He had little time to react as the spirit ran forward and embraced him, disappearing from sight as a loud roar could be heard from outside the cavern.
Once the sun had set, Aang was prepared to face the spirit of Hei Bai, readying his staff. But after a few hours of waiting, he began walking back to the main building, believing that he wouldn't show for the night.
Then, from inside a half-torn building, the angry spirit of Hei Bai broke through the roof and brought the whole structure crumbling down, letting out a loud roar as it rose its arms into the air and a bright light shot up from its mouth. Aang created a shield of wind to keep the debris from landing on him.
Hearing Katara yell for Aang to run, the spirit quickly moved towards the main building and prepared to smash it. Before he could, Aang jumped in front of it and touched its forehead with his hand, seeing through the monstrous being and getting a small look at its true form, a large panda. Landing on the ground, Aang realized who Hei Bai truly was.
"You're the spirit of this forest. Now I understand why you're so aggressive. You're upset and angry because your home was burned down. You hate what has happened, so you're taking action to make sure it doesn't happen again."
A silent exchange of understanding was passed between the both of them.
"I was upset too, when I first saw what had happened to the forest. But a friend of mine showed me that the forest will grow back. Because of these."
Holding out an acorn and setting it on the wood of the porch, the spirit reached down and picked up with its big fingers, taking a look at it. In a blink of an eye, its form changed from a scary looking monster to a peaceful panda.
Aang bowed, "I promise, on the word of being an Avatar, the bridge between two worlds, I will make sure that the people who did this will be stopped."
The spirit nodded and turned around, beginning to walk away. As it exited the village, a series of bamboo stalks rose from the ground at the entrance, a group of people emerging a second later.
"Sokka!" Katara cried out, running towards her brother and embracing him.
Other villagers did the same to the ones who had emerged with the Water Tribe boy as well, a happy reunion for those had been taken by the Black and White Spirit.
"What happened?" Sokka asked, confused.
"You were trapped in the Spirit World for twenty-four hours," Katara explained to him. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I seriously need to use the bathroom," he ran off.
Aang walked up, frowning, "Hey, where's Alex?"
Looking around, Katara's eyes widened.
"He should have been released with the others. Why didn't Hei Bai give him back?"
"I don't know," Aang rubbed his neck, worried and upset. "But we'll find him. There's got to be a way to get him back."
Once Sokka returned from his bathroom break, the five leading members of the village approached them.
"Thank you, Avatar, for rescuing our home," said the man in the middle. "If only there were a way to repay you for what you've done."
"You could give us some supplies and some money," Katara elbowed her brother.
"Sokka!"
"What? We need stuff."
The man bowed, "It would be an honor to help you prepare for your journey."
As the villagers began to disperse, Katara turned to the Airbender, "I'm so proud of you, Aang. You figured out how to do all of this on your own."
"Actually, I did have a little help," Aang remembered the visit from Roku's dragon and the Fire Temple. "And there's something else I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Sokka asked.
"I got a message from Roku while I was in the Spirit World-"
"Wait, you were in the Spirit World?" Katara's eyes widened.
"Uh, yes, but that's besides the point. I need to talk to Roku, and I think I've found a way to contact his spirit."
"That's great!" Katara exclaimed.
"Creepy, but great."
"There's a Fire Temple on Crescent Island, and if I go there on the Winter Solstice, I'll be able to speak with him."
"But the Solstice is tomorrow," stated Katara.
"Yeah, and there's just one more problem," the Airbender paused. "The island is in Fire Nation waters."
Both Katara and Sokka's mouths dropped at hearing this.
"You want to go into Fire Nation waters?!" exclaimed Sokka. "Are you insane?!"
"Aang, we can't risk going that route, especially with the amount of time that we have until the Solstice," Katara warned.
"But I have to, Katara! Alex is still trapped in the Spirit World and I need to find a way to rescue him. Avatar Roku is the only person who will be able to help get him back. But its more than that. I need to know what Roku is trying to tell me." He paused. "And that's why I'm going alone."
Both of them gasped at hearing that.
"Aang, no! We're not letting you do this on your own."
"And I won't let either of you get hurt because of a risk I'm willing to take. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if that were to happen."
"Aang, the world can't afford to lose you to the Fire Nation," the Waterbender paused, fear deep in her eyes. "And neither can I."
Taken back by her words, the memories of Roku's warning and also Alex's situation of still being in the Spirit World was enough to muster up the courage to stand firm in his decision.
"I'm sorry, but I have to do this. With or without you, I need to get to that temple."
Before he could turn away, Sokka and Katara both placed a hand on each of his shoulders.
"You're not leaving, Aang!" Katara declared.
The Airbender's eyes widened.
"At least, not without us," Sokka added. "We got your back. Lets go invade this temple, make contact with Roku and save Alex from the Spirit World!"
Aang smiled and nodded, "Thanks guys."
After getting everything ready to go on Appa, including the new supplies they got from the villagers, Aang bid farewell and immediately got the bison flying into the air, making course for Crescent Island.
As the night passed by, the villagers went to sleep in peace, happy that their situation had been remedied by the Avatar and his friends.
One of the leading members of the village exited his home, only to find himself in front of a group of Firebenders, including one who was half-naked on an armored rhino.
"Having trouble sleeping?" the one in front of them asked, his face half-scarred.
Before the villager could react, he was pushed back through the doorway he had just came from, hitting the ground. Looking up, he saw the face of Fire Prince Zuko looking down on him.
"Seen the Avatar and his friends lately?"
Hopefully this gets the plot going. I figured it was time to start introducing certain things that this story is going to involve, considering we are on Chapter 10 and moving on to number 11. I will try to have the next one up soon (if things don't get in the way).
I wanted to ask you guys something and I need your absolute honest opinion on it. I've been giving some thought towards the idea of Severus falling in love, but I've been having trouble deciding on which route to take, so I thought it would be a good idea to get you guys to post your answers on the reviews that you all leave.
Okay, so, here's the question: "Should I have Severus get together with Lily? Or should I have him fall in love with someone else and have him end up with that person instead?"
Just for the record, this is in no way revealing any future plot directions. Other than the fact that he 'may' fall in love and get his happy ending with someone. This is just getting a reaction in what you guys want to see happen. Some of you might remember me doing the same thing for 'Redemption' on my voting pole of my Profile. So please, leave an answer on a review. I want your opinion. Even if the answer is that Severus shouldn't fall in love with anyone, I still want to read it. ;)
Alright, I'll see you guys in Chapter 11! I hope you enjoyed reading this! :)
